What lyrics inspire you the most?
"If today was your last day, and tomorrow was too late, would you say goodbye to yesterday, would you leave old pictures in the past donate every dime you had, if today was your last day." I love that line from Nickleback's If Today Was Your Last Day. It is one of the most influential songs in my life. The lyrics in this song inspire me every day to make use of my life and do everything I can to be a good person.

So if you wake up with the sunrise, and all your dreams are still as new,
And happiness is what you need so bad, girl, the answer lies with you.

Led Zeppelin - What Is and What Should Never Be

[Tanaya]

Some of the lyrics from the song Don't Rain On My Parade:

But whether I'm the rose
Of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose
Of life's complexion
The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye

I gotta fly once
I gotta try once
Only can die once, right, sir
Oh, life is juicy, juicy and you see
I gotta have my bite, sir

Get ready for me, love
Cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march
My heart's a drummer
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade

I'm gonna live and live now
Get what I want, I know how
One roll for the whole shebang
One throw that bell will go clang!
Eye on the target and wham!
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey Mister Arnstein, here I am!

[ChyJ20]

My favorite lyrics is from Kelly Clarkson and the song is called Gone!

"I'm gone, to find someone to live for in this word,
there's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight,
just a bridge that i gotta burn,
you were wrong, if you think you can walk right through my door,
that is just so you,
coming back when i finally moved...on,
i'm already gone" :ugeek:

[VinuW]

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

From Fight Song by Rachel Platten

I believe in a thing called love.

I hurt myself today to see if I still feel I focus on the pain the only thing thats real. -Hurt Johnny cash

[rssllue]

I saw these chains locked on my wrists
Around my neck no shackles missed
I'd try to shake them off and flee
No where to go without a key

Awoke my eyes drew the first breath
New to the world but not to death
This plan devised in secrecy
May take my life or set me free
No more to work this simple life
To toil only met with strife
The evening still and passed the sun
The night crept in my chance to run

I wait for dark! I wait for dark!
No looking back I'm running
I'm running out of sight
No looking back I'm running
Running into the night

My feet be quick for this racing heart
Come morning's light will the chasing start
With the fear of pursuit comes a fear of the flight
And if I stop they will shoot so I continue to hide
In the cover of the night

At morning's light the darkness gone
I see the distance fade
I take to flight my fears withdrawn
my heart is now betrayed
Not a slave to man! Not a slave to...

Set me free! Set me free!
Hammer these chains and set me free!

Break these chains! Break these chains!
Unbind my hands and pardon me!
Ran all this way with the hope this pain would now release, finally cease
What is this freedom if I haven't peace?

Serpent you lied and you told me to run
I haven't found repose for I still am undone
This isn't life! This can't be it!
I've run so far away yet none of the pieces will fit
I couldn't see, I should have known!
This peace abounds at my Master's home
Now my heart be still or these feet will fall
All for the will of the Master's call

The morning bright all darkness gone
and not afraid
Shown the true light against the dawn
my debt has now been paid
I was lost to save
For I'm the Master's slave

No looking back I'm running
Running with all my might
No looking back I'm running
Running to the true Light

I saw these chains fall to my feet
I stand amazed at this work complete
These chains not Yours they were my own
"Now run no more My son, come home"

With open arms and open eyes, yeah."

"Don't we all, want to belong?
Don't we all, write our own song?
Let our silence break tonight!
Don't we all, learn right from wrong?
And don't we all, want to be loved?
Let our silence break tonight!" ~ Anberlin, Modern Age

"It's not that you're not beautiful, you're just not beautiful to me"
She said, "how beautiful do I have to be?
When I look in the mirror, you're the only thing I see,
And I have loved you beautifully"

They make me sad but at the same time I could never get enough of that song..

[Cslogan39]

I don't need you to save me
I don't need you to cure me
I don't need you and your antidote for I am my disease

I don't need you to free me
I don't need you to help me
I don't need you to lead me through the light

I will always fall and rise again
Your venomous heroine
'Cause I am a survivor
Yeah, I am a fighter

I am perfectly willing to accept the risk of appearing corny .....

Oh, say can you see
By the dawns early light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilights last gleaming?
Who's broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare!
The bombs bursting in air!
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?

"We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.

And still I see no changes. Can't a brother get a little peace?
There's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East.
Instead of war on poverty,
they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me."- Change by 2-Pac

"As time passes
It just becomes more ruined
A house made of cards, and us, inside
Even though the end is visible, even if it’s going to collapse soon
A house made of cards, we’re like idiots
Even if it’s a vain dream, stay like this a little more"- House of Cards by BTS

I've written so much listening to these songs.
