Honestly, with me it doesn't really take much to impress me. I'll listen to songs that will have the most generic lyrics in the world and dance along to it. But it really is the words of the more deeper songs that I love
So, I'll just show you a couple of my personal favorite song lyrics. These are in no particular order however, but I will underline some lyrics I have thought and am thinking about getting tattoos of.
Blood Like Gasoline~Against the Current
Chrissy Costanza is the lyricist I wish we had in my age. Admittedly I feel too old to be listening to ATC at times, but I do listen to them quite a lot. Blood Like Gasoline from their In Our Bones Album is one of those songs that just jump out at me.
Your voice follows like an echo
Won't someone wake me from this dream
The bluest skies turn to black clouds
And the wind is drowning out my screams
Won't someone wake me from this dream
The bluest skies turn to black clouds
And the wind is drowning out my screams
The lyrics are a writer's haven, if I could be so honest myself. As an avid reader and manga enthusiast [?], I can't help but think about my favorite ships when I hear this song. Case in point: SebastianXMeyrin from Black Butler. Now that's not my OTP of that fandom, and obviously not a fandom favorite [don't like the fandom favorite, but that's another post for another time]
But I can see it fit this pairing. Whether I think of Alternate Universes, or stories of my own.

Vortex~The GazettE
Vortex always has a spot in my heart. I feel like if I ever lose interest in the GazettE, there will be three things that will always have my love. Cassis. Aoi. And Vortex. Honestly, not sure when my obsession with this song came along~but it really sparked when I got to hear it live at the Wiltern in LA. So there's that.
The only thing you really know about me is,
You can't take my soul away from me.
I will give details on my tattoo ideas revolving around that lyric in another post. But it was just how he sang it in LA that got to me? Before then it had been one of my favorite from Ruki.
Reflections~Misterwives
I'm finally going to see these lovelies in March, so I'm listening to them a lot to get myself excited. Honestly Mandy has such a unique voice, and many compare her to the singer of the Cranberries which I can really see. Her lyrics are fun to listen to, having a mix of both light and fun lyrics and then the more serious ones.
Our bodies undressed the layers of shy
Revealing the truth that was buried inside
Filled up feelings
That now are bursting at the seams
Revealing the truth that was buried inside
Filled up feelings
That now are bursting at the seams
Honestly I could probably give you an entire list of Misterwives song lyrics that are my favorite, but I really like this verse. It reminds me sort of my boyfriend and myself. We're so awkward sometimes.
the Beginning~One Ok Rock
I don't listen to One Ok Rock, let me get this clear right now. Against the Current covered this song, but I do listen to the original version too and I like both. Honestly I'm more attracted to the lyrics itself, so it keeps my interest in OOR sparked, just not the time for me to sit down and listen to their entire discography.
I'll risk everything if it's for you
A whisper into the night
Telling me "it's not my time and don't give up
A whisper into the night
Telling me "it's not my time and don't give up
Honestly songs that talk about moving on, going forward are my favorite. I like songs like that, because it can reach so many people on a positive note. Whether Taka sings it or Chrissy sings her own version, I really just like the lyrics.
The Story~coldrain
I love Masato's lyrics, second to Ruki he's my favorite lyricist to ever exist. Though his execution is a little bit better when it comes to English, but he does have an advantage over Ruki in some aspects. I have a hard time choosing my favorite lyric of coldrain, they have so many good ones. But I promised for my list, I would include only one lyric from one artist.
paint me black but I will never fade
no I won't fade into the night
no I won't fade into the night
These lyrics almost come off as a resolution, saying that you won't back down no matter what comes your way. And honestly it gives me comfort, even at my lowest points when I'm in one of my moods. I'm thinking hard on this tattoo, and it's placement of course. I hope to get it before I meet coldrain next, it'd be awesome to show Masato.
