Whinier lyrics?

Blah blah life sucks shits unfair im angry I wanna destroy shit cos I’m full of angst and no one understands me i hate civilization kill rich people and puppies boo hoo lets blow everything up
blah blha blah

So much profanity laced angst ridden whine. They’re like an angry vineyard owned by Tarantino and Billy Corgan,

Girly man shit.

(half-scarcasm)

See? This is how real men get laid.

While I like many styles of metal, one of my all time favourite genres are traditional doom metal.
Stuff like this:

Pale Divine (Criminally underrated band)

Pentagram (Classic US doom rock band - almost as old as Black Sabbath.)

(I was at that concert :slight_smile: )

Leather Nun America (again a largely unknown, but really good band

Ehhh I’m not a fan of slipknot

I line the songs ā€œNero forteā€, ā€œpsychosocialā€ and ā€œbreathing in sulphurā€ the latter only because a remix came out dubbing spice girls over the lyrics

Lyrics aren’t whiny btw, they’re edgy.

My guilt and my shame always sell me short,
Always feel the same
And my face and my soul always wear me thin,
Always under control
But the longest hours you’ll have in your life
Are the ones you sit through to know if you’re right
So I’ll wait, but I pray that I’m wrong
Because I think I know what’s going on

So let me get this straight, the only will is my own
I do whatever I want and stay alone
All my decisions make it untouchable and tainted
I’m gonna suffer for the rest of my life
But I will always find a way to survive
I’m not a failure, but I know what it’s like
I can take it or leave it, or die

Stay, you don’t always know where you stand
Till you know that you won’t run away
There’s something inside me that feels
Like breathing in sulfur

My life is…

Awww poor fella needs a blanket and a nice cup of hot coco.

See? This isn’t even whiny. It’s a tale of disappointment whilst clinging on to the belief, the hope that true love can exist. Why, it’s even uplifting if you think about the blind optimism the protagonist allows herself to indulge in because we know she’s eventually going to be fine, probably with another lover, as long as she never loses hope.

Oh God l can’t believe the amount of crap I can pull out of my ass when I really feel like it lol.

Total Eclipse of the Heart

Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you’re never coming 'round
(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by
(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes
(Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We’ll be holding on forever
And we’ll only be making it right
'Cause we’ll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don’t know what to do and I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there’s only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight (and I need you now)
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight (if you only)
We’ll be holding on forever
And we’ll only be making it right (and we’ll never)
'Cause we’ll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don’t know what to do, I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around, bright eyes

Not edgy enough man

I want lyrics that I can relate to me, something alongside the lines of

ā€œMy life sucks, no one understands me. Teenage angst and edgy vibes. I don’t give a FUCK what people tell me to do. Something something penchant for violence i’m so tough (even though I’m super passive and wouldn’t hurt a fly, X song will make me feel as if I could run through a wall)

Disorganised screaming vocals and fat guitar riffs

All of my problems aren’t fault of my own, but by fault of our societal constructs. There is nothing I could do to fix how broken I am because it’s everyone else’s fault.

Everything is horrible, there is no positivityā€

Fat guitar solo

@unreal24278 thinking ā€œhmmmm, playing this out loud will get me all the chikzā€

Mostly stuff I listen to when I really want to get amped up. The JFAC and car bomb ones are def favorites of mine. Tony danza is just insanity.

You need the assisrance of a doctor, and maybe some serious meds. Get some sleep dude. That song is an act of terrorism, and it’s even worse in the Spanish cover version they play in grocery stores in Central America.

I would not have guessed that he did THAT after ā€œWho’s the Bossā€.

lol, that’s the reason they named themselves that, to trick people into listening to them

Their first show was filled with people that had zero business being there and were in for quite a surprise.

Yet another thing my wife tells me at least once a month lol.

Plus my prior obsession with Laura Branigan:

Still a big fan of The Clash:

And I don’t get why people don’t, or hesitate to say they like Guns and Roses. Are they too ā€œmainstreamā€? There was some real guitar riffing and soloing going on that beats ANY hard rock band of their era IMHO:

Seriously, go check out their acoustic albums. This is from Lies but I have one bootleg unplugged concert album I bought long ago that I lost while moving so I can’t remember the title but it was excellent.

The Use Your Illusion albums had some amazing lyrics and really interesting stylistic changes.

I did see Aerosmith with Skid Row as an opening act, in Toronto (Sebastian Bach’s hometown). Aerosmith had a better show, but Bach can do stuff vocally that blows away anything from the studio.

Good choices, although I personally can’t say I’ve ever been a fan of car bomb. If going for mathcore I prefer the dillinger escape plan/early architects
