So. 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?

Saliva, Always. Takes about 30 seconds to kick into high gear, but I think it's what you're looking for. I think. ^_~

Lyrics here (http://www.lyricsstyle.com/s/saliva/always.html).

Oh, yeah! I love this song whenever I hear it on the radio, and I totally hadn't thought of it for Clubsoka. Thanks!

Hole's "Violet" may work....
And the sky was all violet
I want give the violent more violence
Hey, I'm the one with no soul
One above and one below

Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever

When they get what they want, they never want it again
When they get what they want, they never want it again

Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I dare you to

I told you from the start just how this would end
When I get what I want then I never want it again

Avril's "Unwanted" kinda works...
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me up
Make me go away

No, I just don't understand why
you won't talk to me
It hurts that I'm so unwanted for nothing
Don't talk words against me
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

Joydrop's "Spiders"
When love was fresh like a web we'd mesh
Nothing felt better than your flesh against my flesh
One fatal slip One rip a tear
Touch me now and every single hair
On my body stands on end

So don't touch me anymore
'Cause it feels like spiders
Like spiders all over me
Like spiders
Like spiders all over me

In the darkest corners of my mind they creep
Underneath my pillow at night when I sleep
Those hands I once longed to feel
I want to squash them under my heel

Evanescence's "Going Under"
don't want your hand this time i'll save myself
maybe i'll wake up for once
not tormented daily defeated by you
just when i thought i'd reached the bottom
i'm dying again

i'm going under
drowning in you
i'm falling forever
i've got to break through
i'm going under

blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
so i don't know what's real and what's not
always confusing the thoughts in my head
so i can't trust myself anymore
i'm dying again

i'm going under
drowning in you
i'm falling forever
i've got to break through

so go on and scream
scream at me i'm so far away
i won't be broken again
i've got to breathe i can't keep going under


Hope those help, somehow...I know there's more I know of by I can't remember them at the moment....

one more...

Here's one I've never heard, but have lyrics to...
Never would've loved you
Should've left this town
Never would've loved you
But everything got turned around

It's nothin much but the same drug
It's nothin much but the same drug
Everyday
It's nothin much but the same drug
You threw it away
But I gave love anyway

She didn't come from the same world,
See the same things
I can't deny
I bled on stages to get here, sent screams
Up to the sky

Thanks! These are very nice, and heh, funnily enough, several of them were already in my 'possible-lyrics-to-use' file. (Yeah, I have a file for collecting CLubsoka lyrics, and it is unbelievably long. I am so sad.) We must think alike!

And I really like this last one, if only it would download for me...

Dunno if this is exactly what you're looking for, but it popped into my head so I thought it might be worth a mention. ^^;;

Beneath the Skin by Collide (second verse and chorus)

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. >.>

Ooooo, this might totally work. I think I like this group, I have another song by them. I'll have to try downloading this, but I might come bug you if I can't find a copy. ;)

Just some random lyrics you can pick at, lovey *glomps*

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*

Oh, yeah, go ahead! It is a very nice song, just not what I needed, unfortunately. If you can't find a copy to download, I'll send you it over AIM. I'm 'theBrigdh'.

Look up lyrics for Vast, Lord of Acid, Dirty Vegas, or even RAMMSTEIN.

Ooo, thank you. Hee, I've already found a Lords of Acid song that'll be perfect for a later scene.

Go you!
