Rock Lyrics & Poetry

Honestly, I have no clue what kind of criteria anyone would even use to decide which rock songs qualify as "anthology" status, nor do I particularly care what language you intend to write them in. 😁

Let the slackers have their drinks. Goodnight...

Joseph Gomez39 said:Hany. Is that how you spell it? You must be a huge fan. What do they call it, Ramones mania?

Nah, I'm not some die-hard Ramones fan. I'm not even a big follower. But they're legends, regardless.

Am F Am F Am F Dm E
Am
Like a heartache, like a myth, like an absolute truth, it all feels
Like black and white, like something surreal
Like a single drop of rain
Like a word, a legend, a challenge—that's when you show up
So cold, distant, and vague, like a transparent ghost

Am F Am F
I just don't have the strength to let go quietly anymore
Am F Dm E
I don't have the will to gift you any more dreams
All I want is to forget you
And offer you a smile as one last blessing
Am
For the road

And so you walk, thinking and remembering, as if moving through smoke
The first snowfall, so soft and airy, like a white veil
Like a voice, a trace, the vanishing of a single dream
Let some foolish emptiness reflect in those eyes

I just don't have...

There, included the chords so the kids can have some fun Honestly, this is one of the best lyrics—and maybe even songs—from this part of the country, at least in my book

[Am]Woke up this morning [Dm]dreaming's gone
[E]Maybe he'll show up, maybe it'll be a [Am]colorful day
[Am]Dolls in the corner [Dm]say hello
[E]He’s still not here and everything feels [Am]boring, I know

uu[Am]u a[Dm]ha [E]thoughts were stuck today [Am]hard to remember
uu[Am]u a[Dm]ha [E]now I just want to dream about those same [Am]yellow comic strips

[Am]Empty talk [Dm]I've known it all before
[E]Closing my eyes forever, though [Am]sometimes I see clearly
Still, [Am]that familiar face doesn't look [Dm]the same anymore
[E]Listening one more time, staring out as [Am]the rain starts

uu[Hm]u [Em]leaving it all behind
[F#]Turning back one last time and [Hm]not forgetting
uu[Hm]u [Em]leaving it all behind
[F#]Walking far away, but [Hm]never forgetting

DON'T GIVE UP, INES (NDSI) - check this out
Arsen Dedic

Epizoda 1.

Don't give up, Ines.
Don't let the years wear you down,
my dear Ines, despite the different rhythms and habits we've picked up,
because your room is still warm;
with its cozy layout and those rare little treasures...
You always had more taste than I ever did.
Your room—it was beautiful—but now your landlady is in the hospital.
You were always so unique,
from the color of the stationery in your letters to the gifts you chose,
walking with me just the next morning around nine
down to the station...

epizoda 2.

A green bus rolls along
pushed by the autumn wind just like a falling leaf,
down a slope in New York City...
I'm wearing my evening suit and
surrounded by all these eyes...
Don't give in, my youth
don't give in, Ines...

- to be continued -

darktiger20, that first track is solid... reminds me of Azriel or something similar to Ekv!

scena seen enough to Eye you but I've seen too much to try you It's always weirdness while you Dig Your much too much to fry you The weirdness flows between US anyone Can tell to see US Freak scena

Seen enough to eye you
But I've seen too much to try you
It's always weirdness while you
Dig your much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just can't believe us
Why can't it just be cool and free us?

Seen enough to eye you
But I've seen too much to try you
It's always weirdness while you
Dig your much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just can't believe us
Why can't it just be cool and leave us?

It's so messed up, hard to believe
If there's a way
I wish we could see it
How it might actually work
Just can't wrap my head around it
God, what a disaster
Better to just walk away

Sometimes i don't thrill you Sometimes i think I'll kill you Just
Sometimes i don't thrill you Sometimes i think I'll kill you Just
Just don't screw me over, okay?
Because when I really need someone
It's still you

Such a mess...

NDSI
epizoda 3.

Our little connection took quite a while to build up...
and then suddenly, over some warm bourbon,
it all came out through just a few poorly hidden desires.
You have this way about you, sir, like a gentleman with a country soul.
Such a rustic little aristocrat!
Between your curves and the bed we shared,
and my room hanging suspended in mid-air like an orange,
like a glowing citrus orb,
hovering over the deep green and blue waters of New York City;
right there at proleterski brigada 39, near Grkovic.
The street looks soaked from the window, and I can hear the distant hum
of the early evening subway trains...

NDSI
epizoda 4.

Those sweet little moments filled with nostalgia, love, and being broke,
sharing a cramped bathroom with everyone else
and—well, just in case anyone happens to be looking for me...
Hang in there Ines—I'm right here,
just getting up to turn over the burner on the stove.
Is it really all that rude at this hour?
Mozart, Requiem, Agnus Dea.
But honestly, that opening part is still my absolute favorite...
I feel like I have a million more of those tender, slightly reckless
memories from back when we were young,
the kind that trick us right in front of our own eyes,
stealing away and leaving us behind...

Do you honestly believe this whole thing is going to reach some kind of final judgment?

RIBLJA CORBA: DREAMING OF YOU ALL NIGHT

Whenever someone tries to totally screw with me
They just ask how you're doing
And suddenly, I start losing my cool
And lying—just straight-up, shameless lying
So I say

I never actually cared about you
That I cheated on you more times than I can count
As if I'd die over someone like that
And I lie, just lying through my teeth.

Then I retreat to my room
And it feels as peaceful as a grave.
So I head back to my room
Pretending everything in my life is perfectly fine.
Then I slip away to my room
And all night long, all night long, I dream of you.
-------------------------------

RIBLJA CORBA: A TOTAL NUTCASE

Outside, the city is just a tiny speck
Waiting for my favorite idiot
Just me and the cop on duty
Out here in the middle of nowhere.

I honestly wonder what I was thinking
Stepping out into this storm
Drinking in the rain, just drinking in the rain
I don't even recognize myself anymore.

Everything promised me bliss, but there's a storm outside
Things are getting worse as the wind starts howling.

I’d be a total nutcase if I stayed by your side
You never realized just how much you meant to me.

I’d be a total nutcase if I stayed by your side
You put me through so much, I'm just completely done with you.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Standing behind the bar, a little buzzed
Messing with myself and everyone else just a bit
Sipping some bourbon, lighting up a smoke
With good friends, my most loyal crew.

I’m not the type to sit around whining
I don't have you anymore, so what can I do?
I'll just head home later on
After I grab one more drink on the fly.

You can't be crazy enough to feel ashamed
For kicking me out of paradise
At least smile when you see me passing by
Stay true to being a rebel until the end.

I know, I won't be able to sleep for long
These endless, cursed nights
How wrong everything feels without you
Not even a drink can fix this.

You can't be crazy enough to feel ashamed
For kicking me out of paradise
At least smile when you see me passing by
Stay true to being a rebel until the end.

Megan Reed said:Are you actually suggesting this ends on Judgment Day?

Just take a page out of darktiger20's book. Honestly, I don't even feel like typing all this out since I'm just transcribing from my notebook, and I really want this to read like a gripping Mexican telenovela to draw people in... Are you getting impatient?...

Joseph Gomez39 said:I'm not really in the mood to type this all out since I'm just copying it straight from my notebook.

Yeah, impatient? Maybe. But here we go 😁 🙄. To save everyone the trouble, here it is:

DON'T GIVE IN, INES

Don't give in, Ines
Don't let the years win, my Ines
Despite different movements and habits
Because your room is still warm
With its cozy layout and those rare little trinkets
You always had better taste than I did
Your room was a beauty
The landlady is in the hospital now
You always stood out
By the color of your stationery, by the gifts you gave
You’d follow me the next morning around nine toward the station
And the green bus gets pushed by the autumn wind
Like a leaf falling down a hillside in Brooklyn
Wearing my evening suit, surrounded by stares
Don't give in to youth, my Ines, don't give in

Our friendship took a long time to prepare
And then, by chance, over a glass of hot bourbon
And with just a few sentences, a poorly hidden desire
You have the way of a lady mixed with a country girl's grit
My little rogue and my little princess
With your curves, the bed
And my room hanging in the air like an orange
Like an orange lamp glowing over the green and blue waters of New York City
On proleterski brigada 39, near Perković
The street is soaked from the window view, amidst the hum of early evening subways
Beautiful moments of nostalgia, love, and being broke
Sharing the bathroom
And asking, "Excuse me, is anyone looking for..."

Don't give in, Ines
Here I am, getting up just to flip a record
Is it rude at a time like this?
Mozart, Requiem, Agnus Dea
But that's still my favorite beginning
I still have a million tender
And reckless memories of our youth
Which betrays us, robs us, and leaves us behind...

Don't give in, Ines
Tear up the invitation, cancel the dinner, cheat on your husband
Just to go take a stroll at some fancy hotel
Touch my knee under the table
My generation, my lover

I know there will be more youth to come,
But nothing like this—not like back in 1938
I won't have anyone left to stay young with if you all grow old
And losing that youth will hit me hard
Though I suppose you all might be right
Because I'm standing here alone on this shore
The one you abandoned and handed over without a fight
And the rain starts again,
Just like it always rains in November on the coast
An ocean of lead and a sky of pine trees
Distant voices blending together
The voice of a mother, a friend, a daughter, a lover, a ship, a brother
Quickly gathering the laundry before the rain hits
And the light faded along with that whiteness
Just a little more walking by the ocean and that's it
Don't give in, Ines

(The whole set, I hope 😁)

(That's how you do it in the 21st century)

You guys really got me there... You know, I was thinking about the story of Vasa Ladacko, and honestly, I could probably spin that into five different episodes... but I guess I'll keep it a bit shorter for you all. Coming your way tonight...

You guys clearly don't know the story behind Vasa Ladacko. Everyone thinks they know everything, but honestly, nobody actually knows anything... anyway, let's just move on to one of the greatest songs ever written. IMAGINE...

Just imagine...
John Lennon zamisliti...

Just imagine if there were no heavens...
It’s actually pretty easy if you just give it a shot...
There's no hell waiting for us...
Just us and the endless sky...
Just imagine if everyone...
Just living for today...

Just imagine what life would be like if there were no government at all...
It's really not that hard...
Not really sure what there is to talk about...
It’s really just a matter of killing or dying...
And religion follows the same pattern...
Just imagine for a second if everyone actually lived in peace...

Just imagine a world where nobody actually owns anything...
I wonder if that's even possible...
There’s really just no need for greed or hunger...
There's just something about that sense of brotherhood among people...
Just imagine if everyone actually shared everything in the whole world...

You could just say I'm a dreamer...
But I'm not alone...
I just hope that one day...
So, are you guys going to join us too...
And the world will eventually become one...

Yeah, I was actually trying to translate a Blink-182 song just now. It’s pure poetry. 😬
But honestly, I'm just exhausted.
So, here:

cold beer - just for that feeling

if I were a blank page
totally clean
I'd use a much, much thicker brush
and just bright, vivid colors
to write your name and mine

if I had an empty head
completely sane
I wouldn't bother learning anything else for nothing
just enough
to stay high from all this sky

ah, if I could just
go back to the start
and be that same cocky kid
I wouldn't force some laid-back vibe
or even try to fit

my world into this one
my dreams into a schedule
and I'd risk every single shot
just to hold onto that feeling

just for that feeling...

blah blah blah... 😁

the whole world was going up in flames, and there wasn't a soul who could pull me out of it except for you
it’s just strange how desire has this way of making people act completely irrational
I never once imagined that I’d cross paths with someone quite like you
And I never dreamed that I'd ever have to lose someone like you
No, it's not that I want to fall in love
No, I really don't want to fall in love
How can the game you're playing be so twisted, making me feel this way
What kind of broken thing have you created that keeps showing up in my dreams😕
I just can't bring myself to go any further
