i have a long long notepad document full of them, but here's a few:
"before you swim, you've gotta be okay to sink" -incubus, earth to bella part i
"don't give up, it's not the end. there's hope for every fallen man to pick themselves up when they think they can't. because with every passing second comes a second chance" relient k, hope for every fallen man
"i believe in the sand beneath my toes. the beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling. i believe in the faith that grows. and the four right chords can make me cry. when i'm with you i feel like i could die and that would be alright. alright." third eye blind, semi-charmed life (and pretty much ever lyric stephan jenkins has ever written, i love third eye blind)
"honest and real, what happened to having something to say? where is the purpose? what happened? you made this all become about nothing. this song is not a business plan. we're losing hope in the world, create something you love. follow the formulas, what does it take? say what you mean, and not because someone else said it but because it's what you feel." the rocket summer, a song is not a business plan
"I want conflict I want dissent, I want the scene to represent our hatred of authority, our fight against complacency. Stop singing songs about girls and love, you killed the owl you freed the dove. Confrontation and politics replaced with harmonies and shticks. When did punk rock become so tame, these fucking bands all sound the same." nofx, the separation of church and skate
