What are the truest lyrics you ever read?

[wet work]

couple of random verses from Mission in the Rain, Jerry Garcia.

Ten years ago i walked this street
my dreams were ridin tall
tonight I would be thankful
lord,for any dream at all.

some folks would be happy
just to have one dream come true
but everything you gather
is just more that you can lose

theres some satisfaction
in the San Francisco rain
no matter what comes down
the Mission always looks the same.

I don't know if they're the 'truest' lyrics i've ever read, but I like them alot.

Royce Da 5`9 - Life

Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place
[This is life]
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place

Yo, the whole world is upon you, the pressure is on
And you can probably sum your life up the best when you're gone
Upon the creation of all men, destiny's born
For us to reproduce, so you can keep the legacy goin'
I know you think I'm Superman, but I got weaknesses too
I keep a firm leash on things by believing in you
And after I'm gone I live on breathing through you
And anything I had in this life, I leave it to you
Aim for the sky and fly till you come back down
I hand you the baton and you run, till you come back 'round
Let your heart tell your temper, "Put that gun back down!"
Dry your tears up and turn that frown upside-down
It'd be plenty to cry for, think life, not death
You got much more to live for than to die for
But you got to stay humble
Cause just as hard as your work to get it
There's people working harder to take it from you
Cause life, something that people take for granted
As time passes, you're gonna want something back
But you won't get it cause history is made every second
So you crave every lesson and save every blessin'
No matter how you view the world yo, you never will get it
The world will be the world through the eyes of whoever is in it
But things ain't gonna always go right
Look at it like, yo this ain't your day, but this your life, and live

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die

Brothers in Arms.

[John Cole]

"I fought the law, and I won." --Sex Pistols Version

and, by the way, has no one here heard of Cole Porter or Ira Gershwin? So, one from Cole Porter:

"You're a rose;
You're Inferno's Dante;
You're the Nose
"On the great Durante."

True enough for me because beauty is truth as that old lyricist Keats said.

Meh, I might get flamed for this but whatever. My exact thoughts when I was going through my depression/anxiety phase.

I know you're coming in the night like a thief
But I’ve had some time, O Lord, to hone my lying technique
I know you think that I’m someone you can trust
But I’m scared I’ll get scared and I swear I’ll try to nail you back up
So do you think that we could work out a sign
So I’ll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try
I know you're coming for the people like me
But we all got wood and nails
And we turn out hate in factories
We all got wood and nails
And we turn out hate in factories
We all got wood and nails
And we sleep inside of this machine

The Eagles -- "The Last Resort"

You can leave it all behind
and sail to Lahaina
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming"
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought the white man's reign

Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs and
justify our bloody deeds,
in the name of destiny and the name of God

And you can see them there,
On Sunday morning
They stand up and sing about
what it's like up there

They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise,
kiss it goodbye

I told you about the walrus and me-man
You know that we're as close as can be-man
Well here's another clue for you all
The walrus was Paul.
