Need... song lyrics...
Nov. 17th, 2003 01:31 amSo. I need a song rec. Help please?
As I write the big Clubsoka epic, each scene starts with a quote from a song. It's a whole theme sorta thing. Anyway, I desperately want a quote for the scene I just finished, and if I spend any more time scrolling through lyric sites, my eyes will explode.
Here's the quote I had originally, to give you an idea of what I'm looking for:
"I'm a martyr of a new and magic kind.
It's gettin' easy not to suffer all the time.
Don't touch me,
'Cause I've had too much to feel tonight."
-'My Ritual', Folk Implosion
But, given the way the scene turned out, I need something darker, edgier, angrier. The scene contains a fight, Yatonokami being a right bastard, threats to leave each other forever, and a kinda-making-up. Please do try to avoid pop or rap or anything excessively popular- I'm looking for groups like Massive Attack, Hole, Radiohead, Garbage, A Perfect Circle, Everclear, etc. Bonus points if the lyrics contain a mention of a curse or 'don't touch me', but anything about pain, suffering, I hate you, I love you, should work. Super-double bonus points if it's a club-y type song.
Anybody got any ideas?

Smoldering
release, expire
confined within
I walk the wire
on the ledge
no return
saturate
melt and burn
rising from the flames
Beneath the skin
skin and bone
Beneath the skin
I am alone
The Collide site for the rest of the lyrics and things. (http://www.collide.net/)
As for the dance-y vibe, maybe this song would be played at a gothy-type club. ^^;; If you like it, I could try sending it to you. And I may have sent it to Sephy if you want to bug her about it. >.>

Date: 2003-11-17 04:29 am (UTC)Lie to me
Convince me that I've been sick forever
And all of this
Will make sense when I get better
I know the difference
Between myself and my reflection
I just can't help but to wonder
Which of us do you love
So I bleed
I bleed
And I breathe.
--Breathe no More, Evanescence
Crawling through this world as disease flows through my veins
I look into myself, but my own heart has been changed
I can't go on like this
I loathe all I've become
I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
(away from this place I have made)
Won't you take me away from me?
--Away From Me, Evanescence
Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above
They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
But through my tears breaks a blinding light
Birthing a dawn to this endless night
Arms outstretched, awaiting me
An open embrace upon a bleeding tree
Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you.
--Lies, Evanescence
You're too important for anyone
There's something wrong with everything you see
But I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You can't escape.
--Where Will You Go?, Evanescence
....Yes, I have a thing for unreleased Evanescene songs XD;; But they're so cool! IMHO, "Lies" works best, but if you see any ya like, yanno... *glomp*
