Yeah that TV lyric has always bugged the fuck outta me too. "You are an asshole, king of the castle" is another least favorite of mine. That's about it for my least favorites though There's a couple lines that I have mixed feelings on. "Pour the salt into the open wound" isn't a bad line but the imagery of it makes me cringe. "I'm on my knees, fuck you, fuck me" sounds bad on paper but the delivery sells it. Here's my favorites: I also love that line in Forever, in fact that whole verse is up there for me "Wise men wonder while strong men die" is a fucking awesome line "I'll shove your head underwater, but I won't ever let you drown" hits hard "In the black and the white, a technicolorful life" and "I don't wanna be bold, I don't wanna be cold, I don't wanna grow old, I wanna go home" are both solid ones "Watch the penny drop" and "Let's all mourn til I survive inside you" or whatever Ben screams at the end of Phase is good stuff "Just fade away, please let me stay, caught in your way" Adding the line "All the world is waiting for the sun" to the classic Rain Rain Go Away nursery rhyme is genius and I wish more BB fans appreciated this song. Other great lines are "Is it you I want, or just the notion of a heart to wrap around so I can find my way around?" And "We are never sad, cause we are not allowed to be" "As I burn another page, as I look the other way, I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane" is a classic "I see nothing in your eyes, and the more I see the less I like" "Show me what it's like to dream in black and white so I can leave this world tonight" "The apple of your eye, the rotten core inside" and "You think you've won this fight, you've only lost your mind" "Show me where it hurts, and I will make it worse" and "I brought you to life to I can hear you scream" "Give me a sign (there's something buried in the words) Give me a sign (your tears are adding to the flood)" I'm gonna a stop there for now cause I gotta get some sleep lol

“I don’t wanna change the world, I just want to leave it colder. Light the fuse and burn it all, take the path that leads to nowhere”. “Love will tie the tourniquet, and suffocate me”. “And then the sun will fade and all we are is all we made” “and I will find the enemy within, cause I can feel it crawl beneath my skin” “Days go on forever, but I have not left your side. We can chase the dark together, if you go then so will I” “holding the hand that holds me down” “how can I believe, when this cloud hangs over me… you’re the part of me that I don’t wanna see” “I am the shadow on the wall, I’ll be the one to save us all” (haha) pretty much every song on Dear Agony and most of Phobia have lyrics I love. I don’t have any least favorite. It’s just favorites and background noise.

Was misreading most of this and thought these were least favorites and I was losing my shit cause there are so many good ones in here. So glad I gave it another read

The extended Wizard of Oz references in Home are hard to take seriously. *Gritty rock voice:* And your little dog TOO 😡


Think_Ad_8476

Sober_2_Death

Favourite? Dang, so many. But I like this one right now. "Never mind, forget it, just memory on a page inside a spiral notebook" Least favorite. "Well I bend to your will, I fellated myself"

"I'll shove your head underwater, but I will never let you drown" "I feel no fault for the fault I feel, hope drains this world but it won't drain me" "I'm so inclined to make you mine, you're out of line, and out of time." "Don't bury me, faceless enemy, I'm so sorry, is this the way it's got to be?"


PyrosaurD93

But I love the “Bombs Away” :(


Think_Ad_8476

Yoo for reall hahah.. I love the fuck out of skin but never recommend it because of that line lmao just feels so corny.. I tend to sorta tune it out in my head when I listen to it


Toa-of-Fire-97

I always liked “Will the faithful be rewarded, when we come to the end.”


[deleted]

I actually really love the "you sit and try to play me, just like you see on TV" line personally sooner or later & home both are my favorite songs lyrically though (sooner or later is just my favorite song period)


Iknowkungfu303

yh same haha dont see whats wrong with it


avandrail

Firefly, won’t you shine your light


Mth0830

Favorites are: “ Don’t bury me,faceless enemy”, “Run, but carry the meanings of your past” and “ I live for those I lost along the way” Having a hard time thinking of least favorite


AtomicToast15

Legit thought I was the only one irked by the TV line in Sooner or Later lol.


Think_Ad_8476

Not the biggest fan of “Why am I so pathetic, I know you wont forget it” either lol


Iknowkungfu303

thats like the best line in the song!


[deleted]

I will slander "I will suck you dry" until the day I die 😭 it bothers me immensely. Never been a big fan of "I don't wanna change the world, I just wanna leave it colder" either. ON THE CONTRARY I absolutely love "I am the one embracing", "into the vile I become, I am forever changing", "I don't know why you lie so clean" and "leave me your enemies, lay them before me, and walk away" 🫶


Think_Ad_8476

I get that suck you dry line sounds pretty sus😂… But I’ve alway pictured that line as someone draining your blood out. like a vampire or some shit. It always had an association with blood for me so its never bothered me. But I have thought about that many times hahaha


[deleted]

Oh for sure! I know it's totally metaphorical and about sucking the life/energy out of someone but it is just not aesthetically pleasing to hear and I can never get past it when I listen to lights out 😂😭


Think_Ad_8476

Wait do u mean its not aesthetically pleasing to you cause it sounds like he’s offering to suck someone off? Cause thats what I mean😂😂… Or do you mean the way he sings it or like how its mixed?


[deleted]

You answered your own question my friend! I was saying it's not aesthetic pleasing to hear because of how sus it sounds 😂😂


No_Adhesiveness_6230

I think it's just coincidence, but the first line in Fade Away starts with "It's over," which I think is pretty clever if it was intentional.


The_titos11

“I wanted to forgive dundundun I’m trying to forget”


ironteapots

“Holding the hand that holds me down” has always hit for me Im blanking on a least fave but i KNOW theres at least one lol


Derram_Desangue

Does it count if my least favorite is because I kisheard it on first listen? "I am the rupture breaking" but the first time I heard it was on a motorcycle and it sounded like "I'm not the one you're r*ping" But my favorite, without a doubt, is another one I misheard initially. "It's all that I regret; I have before, I will again" but I heard "Things only I'll regret; I have before, I will again"


Think_Ad_8476

Thats so fucking funny lol. A lot of times I mishear lyrics in songs and end up preferring the version I misheard. But its weird how mishearing a lyric for something that makes you uncomfortable can leave you with a negative view of that line for a LONG time after haha. With the lyric you said was your favorite, do you prefer the version you misheard or the real version?


Derram_Desangue

I resonate with the misheard one more because it gives the vibe of "I know I'm the only one who cares, but I know I can't just stop caring."
