ITT: Song lyrics EVERYONE should take to heart.
I'll start
>I was raised up believing I was somehow unique
>Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes, unique in each way you can see
>And now after some thinking, I'd say I'd rather be
>A functioning cog in some great machinery serving something beyond me
The entire album has great lyrics like this but this verse is GOAT.
probably one of Robin Pecknolds worst lyrics. it sounds so childish
how come I can't get into this album?

you're the rock critic

I get what you're saying but I still like it, not op though
>>68138005
keep trying
this took me 7 attempts to like and it became one of my favorite records
Probably my favorite line from Marilyn Manson:
"In space, the stars are no nearer."

I used to like those lyrics until someone pointed out how clumsily they actually are all put together and now they just sound really corny to me.
Still think the rest of the song and album is great but that verse really isn't.

>political leaders
>preach of world peace
>while putting bombs on death planes
>to murder overseas
>take a look
>and you'll see
>just a glimpse of modern society
Check it.

Fairly clumsy in that verse given the word unique is repeated so close together. The album as a whole is pretty fantastic, though.
All of a sudden,
We find the cupboard's bare.
All of a sudden,
We find heaven's not there.
All of a sudden,
We find the sun's gone cold.
All of a sudden
We find we're more than old.
All of a sudden,
We find that we've lost love,
So please don't push or shove because,
It's too late,
It's too late,
In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate

A free lesson on growing up,
never trust anyone.
Every person I've ever known was a fake,
And you'll see your closer ones go first,
Who needs enemies? You've got friends.
>This goes out to all my brothers doing long bids
>With sisters who got brothers being fathers to the wrong kids
>Stay strong, and ride like the funky flute
>Won't find the villain in the streets inside no monkey suit
>Or either at the bar in no gorilly bra
>Nor raceway park scoring in no silly car
>Ask the stranger, he knows who you really are
>Behind the mask, face stay dark, no boring willy scar
Whole song is so fucking quotable, but that string of lines is great
