Lyrics you find profound?

It doesn't have to be super pretentious music or anything. I find it in weird places. Almost all of Panic! At The Disco's "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" album.Also parts of 3Oh!3's Want album.Kill the lights,
These children learn from cigarette burns, fast cars, fast women, and cheap drinks,
It feels right,
All these asphyxiated, self-medicated; take the white pill, you'll feel alright

'shadowland' from the lion king on broadway gives me shivers.I find almost all dream theater stuff to be pretty profound, but a couple of songs in particular took me by surprise.

The smile of dawn arrived early May
She carried a gift from her home
The night shed a tear to tell her of fear
And of sorrow and pain
She'll never outgrow
Death is the first dance, eternalThere's no more freedom
The both of you will be
confined to this mind
I was told there's a miracle for each day that I try
I was told there's a new love
that's born for each one that has died
I was told there'd be no one to
call on when I feel alone and afraid
I was told if you dream of the next world
You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fireAs a child, I thought I could
live without pain without sorrow
As a man I've found it's all caught up with me
I'm asleep yet I'm so afraidSomewhere like a scene from a memory
There's a picture worth a thousand words
Eluding stares from faces before me
It hides away and will never be heard of again
Deceit is the second without endThe city's cold blood teaches us to survive
Just keep my heart in your eyes and we'll stay alive
The third arrives...Before the leaves have fallen
Before we lock the doors
There must be the third and last dance
This one will last forever
Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taken you to your homeIt can only take place
When the struggle between
our children has ended
Now the Miracle and the
Sleeper know that the third is love
Love is the Dance of Eternity

Metropolis pt.1 the miracle and the sleeper. This surprised me because it almost perfectly describes the early life of a character I devised for one of my novels. Her parents were brutally murdered in front of her, she was abused for a long time, and she finally found someone who loved her and she could be happy with.

He seemed no different from the rest
Just a healthy normal boy
His mama always did her best
And he was daddy's pride and joyHe learned to walk and talk on time
But never cared much to be held
and steadily he would decline
Into his solitary shellAs a boy he was considered somewhat odd
Kept to himself most of the time
He would daydream in and out of his own world
but in every other way he was fineHe's a Monday morning lunatic
Disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself
In his solitary shellA temporary catatonic
Madman on occasion
When will he break out
Of his solitary shellHe struggled to get through his day
He was helplessly behind
He poured himself onto the page
Writing for hours at a timeAs a man he was a danger to himself
Fearful and sad most of the time
He was drifting in and out of sanity
But in every other way he was fineHe's a Monday morning lunatic
Disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself
In his solitary shellA momentary maniac
With casual delusions
When will he be let out
Of his solitary shell

Solitary shell, this song describes me so well its uncanny, but arguably its deliberate since it describes a boy with autism, which I have a mild form of.

I'm Gudda Gudda, I put her under
I see me with her - no Stevie Wonder
She don't ever wonder, cause she know she bad
And I got her, nigga: grocery bag

Bedrock by Young MoneyBlows my mind every time.

This is something I find quite well describing. It's from the song Filth Friends Unite, created by a band called I See Stars.

What if they just shut the lights out? You're so stuck in your digital word. What happens now? LIGHTS OUT!

Devon · #3Bedrock by Young MoneyBlows my mind every time.

Dude, that shit's deep man.

"And in the end the love you take
Is equal to the love you make"The Beatles - The EndI heard that lyric a bunch of times growing up. About a week and a half ago I had a pretty tough/weird personal time. I tuned into this lyric incredibly hard as the album wrapped up and I just kind of sat there in blankets for a while thinking about it. It's such a simple notion, isn't it? I had a good tear-up, ordered a bouquet of flowers to my mom and txted some old buddies. When has anyone ever regretted loving? Oh, how music is better than everything combined.---Edit - one more:"Every face I saw was the same face
So may we all make it home safely
'Cause nothing is without light..."Owls - Holy Fucking GhostSimilar optimistic message, relating more to empathy than symbiotic happiness.@Loony: Care to give me a personal analysis of that first song? That second song is pretty dark but I like the honesty. I don't know the song well but there seems to be some themes of 'faking the smile', so to speak, ("He seemed no different from the rest", "He's a Monday morning lunatic") which everyone can relate to to some degree also.

since you referred to solitary shell as the 'second', I'll assume you meant metropolis pt 1.It's quite interesting to be honest, when taken in context with metropolis pt 2 (which is an entire album), it's a story of love, passion and violence, and a prophecy of reincarnation. It's basically a story of two different men, one affluent and successful, a senator, named Edward, ('the miracle') and his brother Julian, ('the sleeper') who both fall in love with the same woman. Julian gets there first, but his relationship with her deteriorates because he's a compulsive gambler. It all comes to a climax when Victoria and Julian meet up one night, unware Edward is watching them. When he confronts them, Julian pulls a knife and Edward guns him down, before turning the gun on Victoria. He then plants a suicide note on his brother and runs off to play the terrified witness.Some time in the future (metropolis pt. 2), a man is troubled by a strange recurring dream, and visits a hypnotherapist to find out more. With his help, Nicholas regresses into a past life, and learns the story of Victoria, and what really happened that dark night many years ago. He discovers that he is the reincarnation of Victoria, and is determined to prove what really happened to her (history states that she was murdered by Julian who then committed suicide). Once the truth has been revealed to him, he goes home to mull over what he has learned. the television news is depressing (president Kennedy has just be assassinated) so he puts on some music. A car door slams and footsteps come down the hall, then the hypnotherapist says 'Open your eyes, Nicolas' and the record jumps to static.The prophecy has been fulfilled.'Somewhere like a scene from a memory
There's a picture worth a thousand words
Eluding stares from faces before me
It hides away and will never be heard of again
Deceit is the second without end''There's no more freedom
The both of you will be
confined to this mind'The hypnotherapist was the reincarnation of both Edward and Julian, and Edward's secret is safe

For me there is a certain line from Can't Stop by RHCP's. "Sweetheart is bleeding in the snow cone, so smart she's leading me to o-zone."
Anyone have a clue as to what it means?
