I don't really listen to lyrics (shame on me) and I listen to a lot of electric music anyway, but one particular lyric I've always liked is of one of my favorite japanese rock bands, Ellegarden, which have some songs in English.
- Hey Mr. Feather do you think you're really fly
Mr. Clever she is fool enough to trust you
Mr. Stupid you are not like anyone
Mr. Famous I don't know your real name
Mr. Tiny your dream is so big
Mr. Clumsy what you've made is so art
Mr. Doubtful don't you trust yourself at all
I'm Mr. Complain
Yeah my life is shit
Give me something that's I'll never fail
Give me something that I understand
Give me something that I'll never lose again
Hey Mr. Smiley do you smile when you are sad
Mr. Crazy where is the border of sanity
Mr. Jealous hope you don't have any secrets
Mr. Money what do you want for next Christmas
Mr. Perfect have you ever pulled it off
I'm Mr. Complain
Yeah my life is shit
Give me something that I'll never fail
Give me something that I understand
Give me something that I'll never lose again
You are not here You are not here You are not here beside me
You are not here You are not here You are not here
Yeah my life is shit
Mr. Feather do you think you're really fly
Mr. Clever she is fool enough to trust you
Give me something that I'll never fail
Give me something that I understand
Give me something that I'll never lose again
For me, this song shows that no matter on who we look up or down to, it's not always how it looks like on the first sight or on the surface. Or if you think some of those things of yourself, it makes you question your beliefs and put them into perspective. To me, it just feels like it's delivering the message "screw all those superficial things, just make the best out of the situation", and I like optimistic outlooks and things that make you question things, especially your own view/perspective :) ("Middle Of Nowhere" is another song by them which I also like quite a bit, in case you you like them)
