"We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand"

senses fail has some crazy lyrics
hit em up they are not emo

there's poison in my drinking glass
don't stop just sip it down
and in a swirling masquerade of sound
my body hits the ground
i'm beautiful when I'm asleep
martini kisses land
on my blistered bloody scarlet lips
the bottle's in my hand

they are screamo...

i should'n bother with all your lies desinged to bring me down.. wron again, don't depend on any reaction again...

your comfort in my suffering is no longer disturbing i'm far beyond your petty stopwatch in life's real time.. wait again i'm not through with the screeming...


but i need your heartbeat to owe me your cold lips to brethe a promiss that tomorow, we'll wake up somewhere new


i belived memory might miror no reflectoins on me, i belived that in forgetting i might set muself free, but i woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat and then i choked


and they make me dream your dreams, and they make me scream your screems


we are not alone we feel an unseen love, we are sons and hiers of grace we are children of a light that never dims, love that never dies.. keep your chin up child and wipe the tears from your eyes


did you ever look, did you ever see that one person, and the subtile way that they do this things that it hurts so much, so much is like choking down the ambers of a great place...

this is the new atreyu... gooooood shit

"you took me home I drank too much
cause of you my liver turned to dust
cold rust tastes cold creeping cold pain
do you understand what I mean?
when you feel your soul drop to the floor
like a hole like an open bleeding sore
then you'll have bled like I've bled
then you'll have wept as I've wept "

heres some old matchbook romance

" So are we playing for keeps?
these days begin and they dont end for weeks
leave me left out with anything to do with you
excuse me while i fall apart
dont flatter yourself, sweetheart
let me take the wheel, and ill crash this car
do you have to make this sooo hard"

heres some a static lullaby

"And we are the ones who held you tightly
the trigger is cold as blood
and your pain is now my depression
And this feels like heaven"

heres a little ounk rock for u


A-N-A-R-C-H-Y

He says that for the punk rock scene he'd give his fucking life
But he's only ever paid to see a show once maybe twice
Instead he stands outside the hall and pan handles for beer
Then sneaks inside the hall to deface the bathroom mirror

A-N-A-R-C-H-Y...his name is "Captain Anarchy," but only in his mind
A-N-A-R-C-H-Y...so punk that he's a poser and he'll be one till he dies

You never saw an anarchist with such perfect hair
Or so many ten dollar spikes, or so much punk rock gear
He said he used his welfare checks to buy his boots and plaids
In reality it’s all paid for by his mommy and his dad

A-N-A-R-C-H-Y...his name is "Captain Anarchy," but only in his mind
A-N-A-R-C-H-Y...he's anarchy incarnate but only in his (mind)

You know he just can't see Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
It's up to you and me Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
I don't want to be Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
Fighting, let's stride for...SOME UNITY! (x4)

A-N-A-R-C-H-Y......his name is "Captain Anarchy," but only in his mind
A-N-A-R-C-H-Y...so punk that he's a poser and he'll be one till he dies
(x4)

dies!

I will promise myself I won’t care
Distracting myself from your stare
And I’ve seen this mistake once before
With your games I will never fall for

I’ve hung up my guns
I won’t kill again

I won’t forget you
I won’t forget you
I’m not gonna let you win

Efficiency and progress is ours once more
Now that we have the Neutron bomb
It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done
Away with excess enemy
But no less value to property
No sense in war but perfect sense at home:

The sun beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight

Gonna
Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor x3
Tonight

Behold the sparkle of champagne
The crime rate's gone
Feel free again
O' life's a dream with you, Miss Lily White
Jane Fonda on the screen today
Convinced the liberals it's okay
So let's get dressed and dance away the night

While they:

Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor x3
Tonight x2

Behold the sparkle of champagne
The crime rate's gone
Feel free again
O' life's a dream with you, Miss Lily White
Jane Fonda on the screen today
Convinced the liberals it's okay
So let's get dressed and dance away the night

While they:

Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor x3

"a blood soaked white tee,
your toothless grin hidden
by your fiery fangs
BANG!
the red lined whites of your ex'd eyes
a sixth sensed killing called harm
jumping from the top of my world,
and falling victim into your arms."

I have a meaningful song by green day called Good riddance

Another turning point a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test and don't ask why
It's not a question but a lesson learnt in time.

Its something unpredictable but in the end its right, i hope you have the time of your life

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
Hang em on a shelf in good health and good time
Tatoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what is worth it was worth all the while

Its something unpredictable but in the end its right, i hope you have the time of your life

Instrumental

Its something unpredictable but in the end its right, i hope you have the time of your life [X3]

The Used - I caught fire:
"I'm melting... in your eyes I lost my place, could stay a while, I'm melting in your eyes, like my first time that I caught fire. Just stay with me, lay with me now."

Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down:
"My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me, so won't you kill me so I die happy? My heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury or wear as jewelery...whichever you prefer"

You and Me - LifeHouse:
"And it's you and me and all of the people, with nothing to do, nothing to prove... and it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you"

Emo or not:

"Man, it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has
Lord, it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all

Oh look now, there you go with hope again
But I'll be sure your secret is safe with me
Oh, you're so sure I'll be leaving in the end
Treating me like I'm already gone
But I'm not, I will stay where you are always."

Carve Your Heart Out Yourself- Dashboard Confessional.


"Let's take some time to talk this over
You're out of line and rarely sober
We can't depend on your excuses
Cause in the end it's fucking useless
You can only lean on me for so long
Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown
Sit out on the ledge, begged you to come down
You can only lean on me for so long."

Man Overboard- Blink 182


"Maybe someday you will grow
Maybe someday you will know
Maybe someday you will end these tears and go

A little piece of me grows old
I keep on walking down this road
I've seen a million people change
But I won't stay the same
Had to know you, (Know you, know you)
How to steal and borrow
Had to know you, (Know you, know you)
Never catch, you're never gonna catch tomorrow"

Can't catch tomorrow- Lostprophets


"So I fall
I don't want to feel this small
You know I just can't handle this
Handle this at all
And I'll just fall
I let my heartbeat drop
I faulter as the music stops
And you watch me as I stall
And wonder when I fall"

Fall- Something Corporate


"Elise... believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl always dreamed about
But I let the dream go
And the promises broke
And the make-believe ran out..."

A letter to Elise- Blink 182

"For what it's worth, I've always admired you.
I always thought that we could make it through.
Now look what time can do.
It took our masterpiece we built and broke it in two.
I always believed in you.
I always loved you."

"If you'll slit my throat, it will be the least that you can do.
My blood will flow like apologies from my mouth."

"You die in my thoughts. You die in my dreams. The fairytale is over"

"as you wish, I'll cut my wrists again
i'll do anything to see you smile
they say you see a light shine right before you die
i see that light everytime i look into your eyes"

"so throw me overboard, as if you ever needed me anyway.
tie the anchor around my ankles, i'm better off at the bottom of all of this.
there's nothing left to say, so seal your heart off and watch me fade away."


Some of my favourites that I believe havent been posted already.. got a million more but the clock is ticking and time has gone late
Too tired.

You tried to kill my heart,
And that’s just a start
You make fun of me,
While my friends watch and see.

You watched me while I bleed,
Yeah,
I was on the floor crying,
And I could see your face smiling.

The wind hit my face,
With rain coming to.
You were my best friend,
Tears ran down my face as I see you..

Your new boyfriend will read this,
And will never give a kiss.
He’ll know how bad you are.
In life you will never go far.

But I was told you were bad,
I heard it and didn’t believe it
No I know what was said was true,
I think of it and it still makes me sad.

soz if its rubbish, ive only just strted

just a note for all of the people talking about *they're not emo blah blah* if you actually READ the name of the topic it also says MEANiNGFUL LYRiCS. kthnx.

did i come here to complain? no! i have songs

driving away from the wreck of the day
and it's finally quiet in my head
driving alone, finally on my way home to the comfort of my bed
and if this is giving up, then i'm giving up
if this is giving up, then i'm giving up, giving up
on love, on love
*anna nalick - wreck of the day

your wings weren't meant for this
this weather that no one guessed
no calm before the storm
and it's gone before the panic sets
so let's take our time with this,
bleach the mud from off your dress,
you make such an innocent mess in all of this.
*cauterize - paper wings

if i could i would, fix our wrists together
in such a fashion that god himself, couldn't tear us apart
but impossibility knows nothing of compromise
and hope can only take us so far
tracing your outline in my sheets
painting your face on my pillow
faking going to sleep
so i can fake waking up to you
but my hands are tied by miles
if i could i would rest our cheeks together
so i could hear every word that escapes your mouth
and kisses could act as punctuation
and i would pray and i'd wait
for periods and exclamation points
my hands are tied
*goodbyetomorrow - tied by miles- one of my all time favs

i have a tonnn more but i'll stop here. i highly recommend all of the above though.

A STATIC LULLABY -- AMAZING
Take this for what its worth, this song... my smile
I write to you from hell my song leaving the foot against the gas
and the wall that must have said your name
Weaken you from nothing you can say can stop this now
would a noose replace his lips?
Can a song replace a broken heart?
Can a song replace a broken love?
On the beach I remind myself, that holding hands is so powerless
tonight I don't even have the stars to hold on to...
Paint this red...
Her picture will remain unbroken she cries tonight "I fall in love"...
Wipe each tear away with sand paper tonight I'm not alone...
I just wanna get your fucking voice out of my head...



A CHANGE OF PACE

This is the last time you'll hear my voice
screaming the words that never made sense
from the tears in your eyes to the smile on my face
you finally got, whats coming to you

I can't put this into words through voice or hand
Your love is the best thing that I'll never have
The time and pain put in this with not be in vain
The love I have to share will always stay



A THORN FOR EVERY HEART

Loneliness, sadness, and solitude
These are a few of the things I’ve been through
Waiting for anything, everyday
Strange that you don’t seem to feel the same way
Write me off, bury me and leave me for dead
Open wide, eat your words and choke on regrets


Start defending all the things you believe.
Now you're ready, now you're ready.
Don’t surrender all the hope that you should keep.
It’s now or never, it’s now or never.
Never an end to please, I always seem to end up on my knee

UNDEROATH

you always amazed me
but thats the past
i kept silent and it rained for days
my inside were drenched
but i guess that's the part of growing up
i never wanted to learn
and i grew into the man
that you never knew
but i wouldn't be this way
if it wasn't for you
100 thank you's
it this is love
fairy tales never came true

love can't fly tonight
couples will rest, i'll be sleepless
so cry yourself to sleep
this is about broken hearts
this is about me
bending again for nothing
i'd run to you but pain awaits
i'm coming home
but i'll be late
no deeper than imagination can be
sight with nothing to see
what's faith if i can't believe
it's everything
a cure, but i make it a disease
God take me because i hate me

I agree with the girl who said that none of the bands listed here are REAL emo bands, but she should have at least been able to name a few REAL emo bands...
So if anyone wants any real life, honest to god emo bands, let me know :-)


and here's my MEANINGFUL lyrics, just NOT done by emo bands :-)

"If I had a gun, I'd pump your ethics full of lead,
If I believed in meat, I'd eat a plateful of our dead.
There's merit in construction when it's done with our own hands,
there's beauty in destuction, ressurection, another chance.
There's you and I in union, but just an I in my beliefs,
there's a crashing plane with a banner that reads everyone's nieve."
A Plateful of Our Dead by Protest The Hero


"I wish I'd have died in your arms the last time we were together
So I wouldn't have to wake without you today.
This time I thought things were real...
You said they were, what happened?
You were a priority, was I an option?

I let you see a side of me that I don't share with anyone.
Promises are just words unless they are fulfilled.
You knew from the beginning all I had to offer you was my heart
I'm sorry that wasn't enough.

So we'll go our own ways and hopefully you'll remember the things I've told you.
Hopefully, you'll understand that everything I said was in sincerity
A broken heart is not what I wanted from this but I guess I've learned from it.
But aren't you supposed to learn from your mistakes?
I don't consider this a mistake.
I just wish the story didn't end this way...
Because I'm still in love with the person who helped me write it.

Remember when you held my hand like you'd never let it go?
Remember when we talked of where we'd be a year from now?"
A Year From Now by Across Five Aprils


"“Why are you doing this?” she spoke without expecting a response.
Her voice penetrated the still air of our speechless drive,
so silent my heart had jumped.
“I’m not doing anything,” I said, but I didn’t even believe that myself.
“This is what’s best, for me, for you, for us, or maybe just for me,”
I thought, as a tear formed in the pit of her eye.
The music poured through the speakers
and we were losing ourselves in the cadence.
She looked down momentarily and closed her eyes
for a bit longer than a standard blink. Then she was crying.
Then she was shouting. Then I was shouting, now pouring confessions,
having no answers, or solutions,
and we barely could even hear the questions.

As we were, so perfect ,so happy.
I’ll remember, only our smiles because that’s all they’ve seen.
Long since dried, when we are found,
are the tears in which we had drowned.
As we were, so perfect, so happy.

Don’t put me underground, I was meant for a life somewhere else.
Please Lord give me the way out before both of us haunt you.
We’ll steal tonight. (We’ll steal tonight.)

As we were, so perfect, so happy.
Don’t remember, only your smiles because that’s all they’ve seen.
Long since dried, when we are found,
are the tears in which we had drowned.
As we were, so perfect, so happy.

Our cracking voices became part of the music.
The car pressed on faster through he night. As our voices lowered,
the cadence again overtook the air.
Up ahead there was a curve approaching.
She made no indications of slowing."
The Approaching Curve by Rise Against


"We gotta work to make the facts fit the false charges,
Pull the wool over the eyes of the filthy masses,
Stab the people in the back for the corporate choice,
Roll the propaganda out using The People's Voice"
The Press Corpse by Anti Flag


"I don't wanna see the day,
My words cannot make it safe.
Her heart, in my hands,
It's too bad.
No regrets.
I don't wanna see the day,
Her tears are falling on my grave.
This is my one chance to take back.
No regrets."
F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X. by The Fall of Troy


"chairs thrown and tables toppled
hands armed with broken bottles
standing no chance to win but
we're not running, we're not running

theres a point i think we're missin'
its in the air we raise our fists in
in the smiles we cast eachother
my sister, my brother

how bout the time we gave up hope and
we never find these locks still open
stumbling on stones unturned
the hurt we fear with our heaven

the lives we crossed in search of change
but all they see is treason

oh now we have no obligation
to stay alive
on broken backs we beg for mercy
we will survive
i wont be left here
behind closed doors

bon fires burn like beacons
guiding the lost and weakened
flames dance on crashing waves
guiding ships who've gone astray

time out lets stop and think this through
and find out better things to do
we'll talk in circles, run in place
answers inches from our face

oh now we have no obligation
to stay alive
on broken backs we beg for mercy
we will survive
i wont be left here
behind closed doors

black eyes, broken fingers
blood drips, and i let it run
down my, lips and to my swollen gums
when hope is non-existant
our instincts all scream run
we never, turn our backs
or even bite our tongues"
Behind Closed Doors by Rise Against


These may not be the kind of lyrics you guys are looking for, (broken hearts, ended relationships, etc... well, except for the second song) but these lyrics are meaningful to me

across five aprils

"torn from my chest and laid at your feet, the first step you took was the worst"

"i wish i had died in your arms the last night we where togethere, so i wouldnt have to wake without you today"

As i lay dying

"with no explanation i am comforted by inability to understand"

"underneath it all there is still life,despite it all there is still love"

"all of my strength cannot save you
if you are unwilling to help yourself"

From autumn to ashes

"Hello my first name is
distance and I really don't care if I never wake up again. Hello my name is
distance and I really don't care if I never wake up again."

"So arch your back
And flip your hair
Make eye contact so you know I care"

"Such an unfaithful bride draped in dress
Spun with threads of my regret"

"If I'm a writer, and I'm a poet, I might love you,
But never show it"

"I said that I don't need you, but I'm a liar, I swear I do, I do"

bright eyes

"I know you have a heavy heart; I can feel it when we kiss
So many men much stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it"

"The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won’t exist."

this is all ive got enougt energy to do at the moment. but enjoy! these sognas are brilliant
