Here Is No Why
vs.
Blissed and Gone


"Here Is No Why"

The useless drag of another day
The endless drags of a death rock boy
Mascara sure and lipstick lost
Glitter burned by restless thoughts of being forgotten
And in your sad machines
You'll forever stay
Desperate and displeased-with whoever you are
And your a star
Somewhere-he pulls his hair down-over a frowning smile
A hidden diamond you cannot find
A secret star that cannot shine over to you
May the king of gloom, be forever doomed
And in your sad machines
You'll forever stay
Burning up in speed
Lost inside the dreams, of teen machines
The useless drags, the empty days
The lonely towers of long mistakes
To forgotten faces and faded loves
Sitting still was never enough
And if you're giving in, then your giving up
Cause in your sad machines
You'll forever stay
Burning up in speed
Lost inside the dreams, of teen machines

"Blissed and Gone"

The sun has blessed
The rays are gone
And all the kids have left their tears and gone home
Sweet 17, sour 29
And I can't explain myself
What I'd hoped to find
You were all so kind
When I was near
And if you're still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To love and hold you
Don't say I hadn't told you so
Maybe you need me around
I had no luck
I had no shame
I had no cause, just 17 days of rain
And you in my eyes
Just one more song to slay this earth
And I can't explain myself just what it's worth
It was all I had, but not all I'd need
And I can't escape the fact that I still bleed
And if you're still feeling down
And if this seems way too loud
Then maybe you need me around
I had no voice
I had no drive
I had no choice
I've done my time
I had myself
Had my band
I had my love
Had no hand in watching it all fall apart
And if you're still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To lift and scold you
To send you crashing all right now
Maybe you need me around

Here Is No Why

[oryann]

this is already harder than the other one i think lol.....

.....Here is no Why.

[blanket_skies]

Blissed and Gone is the better song, but I think Here is no why has the better lyrics, so

Here is no why

[AlienCloak]

Well forget about the viewing the bracket then.

[robochimp7]

here is no why

[DeathRockBoi]

"The useless drag of another day
The endless drags of a death rock boy"

Great opening lyrics for an awesome song. Here is No Why has my vote.

[Her]

This is fucked because to play this fairly you have to ignore the musical component. I am voting against my favorite song here, but BLISSED AND GONE has better lyrics.

[Ghostchild]

Difficult choice, both have great lyrics, but Blissed + Gone has more resonance with me personally.

[wildabeastly]

B+G

[Parksey]

HINW is the better song for me, but blissed and gone has the better lyrics.

[reinsdorfsucks]

Blissed and Gone

[explodingkid]

Blissed and Gone

agreed above-i like HINY a bit better as a song overall, but prefer the lyrics of b&g.

[Gr3g3]

Here is no why for sure.

[Brown_Town]

JESUS this is a toughy. WOW! I think I'll go with Blissed and Gone. I feel so bad voting against Here is no Why, lol.

[AlienCloak]

Here Is No Why - 7
Blissed and Gone - 9


Blissed and Gone wins! The next matchup is...



Appels + Oranjes
vs.
Home


"Appels + Oranjes"


What if the sun refused to shine?
What if the clouds refused to rain?
What if the wind refused to blow?
What if the seas refused to wave?
What if the world refused its turn?
What if the stars would hesitate?

What if what is isn't true?
What are you going to do?
What if what is isn't you?
Does that mean you've got to lose?
Digging for the feel of something new
What if the silence let you dream?
What if the air could let you breathe?
What if the words would bring you here?
What if this sound could bring you peace?

What if what is isn't true?
What are you gonna do?
Digging for the feel of something new
What if what is isn't you?
What are you gonna do?

It came from your thoughts
Your dreams and visions
Ripped up from your weeks
And indecisions

What if the sun refused to shine?
What if the clouds refused to rain?
What if the world refused its turn?
What if the clocks would hesitate?

What if what is isn't true?
What are you gonna do?
What if what is isn't you?
Does that mean you've got to lose?
Digging for the feel of something new
Does that mean you've got to choose?
The feel of something new
Does that mean you've got to lose?
The thoughts you cannot use
What are you gonna do?

"Home"

Wander off through dead of night
Past wastelands of shattered souls
Warm by the firelight
I peer into the darkness alone

As the indian summer of my remembrance
Settles on my bones
Cracked and weary, I ask for direction home

Home, let the word spill from my mouth
Love, love is everything i want
I, one of many more to come
Love, love is everything i want

Crossroads outside of town
Where heartbroken faces shine
The city lights so far and dull
Turning left i know it's time

With an urgent wind upon my rolling heels
To carry me along
My face downcast, I turn to ruins past and home

Home, let the word spill from my mouth
Love, love is everything I want
I, one of many more to come
Love, love is everything I want

Wander off through dead of night
Past terrors and broken homes
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
In the riverbanks and catacombs
Seek the truth, and be the truth
I must live this life alone
Lay down and think of loss
Cry out, I know it's time

Love is everything I want
Love is everything I want
Love is everything I want
Love is everything I want

[Her]

Meh....not a fan of either set of lyrics but I'll go with Home

[reinsdorfsucks]

Home - easily, I love the lyrics, the song really does remind me of "home".

[MaxR]

Home

[oryann]

Appels + Oranjes

God I love those lyrics lol.

[afroguy10]

Home :)/>

[explodingkid]

Home.

Voting for the lyrics without considering the music is soooo hard :whattodo:/> .

[Simon Belmont]

Definitely Home

[blanket_skies]

Home

[Parksey]

A+O

[DeathRockBoi]

Home on this one, homeboy!

[wildabeastly]

Home. The imagery in the verse combined with the simplistic chorus has to be some of the best lyrics Corgan's penned.

Appels and Oranjes is no slouch either. The constant questions are very effective in bringing the listener into the song, forcing the listener to be an active participant. It also serves to make the verse about the epiphany ("It came from your thoughts, your dreams, and visions...") stand out as a moment of clarity.


Going with Home.

[R_Dorothy Wayneright]

Home!

As cryptic as his lyrics have been, Billy Corgan can easily pen lyrics that are just crushingly honest. His songs are often both enigmatic in some lines and just bleeding truth and honesty in others.

"Love is everything I want" x infinity!

[joeys]

Home

[AlienCloak]

Appels + Oranjes - 2
Home - 11



Home wins! The next matchup is...



Mayonaise
vs.
I of the Mourning



"Mayonaise"

Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it, doomed
Pick your pockets full of sorrow
And run away with me tomorrow june
We'll try and ease the pain
But somehow we'll feel the same
Well, no one knows
Where our secrets go
I send a heart to all my dearies
When your life is so, so dreary
Dream
I'm rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream

And I fail
But when I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will

Mother weep the years I'm missing
All our time can't be given
Back
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
That cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling
So bad

When I can, I will
Words defy the plans
When I can, I will

Fool enough to almost be it
And cool enough to not quite see it
And old enough to always feel this
Always old, I'll always feel this

No more promise no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to be me
When i can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will

"I of the Mourning"

Radio, play my favorite song
Radio, radio
Radio, I'm alone
Radio
Radio, please don't go
Radio

I peer through curtains on empty streets
Behind a wall of caller i.d.
No one's out there
To hear if I care
About the troubles in the air

As I of the mourning now come
Pick up where my thoughts left off
Cause I'm home to die on my own

As my radio plays my favorite song
Radio, radio
Radio, don't you know
Radio, radio
Radio, I'm alone

I've blown the dust off my guitars
In the attic with the stars
I read your letters to feel better
My tears upon the fading ink

Cause I of the mourning now come
Pick up where my thoughts left off
Cause I'm home to die on my own

As my radio plays my favorite song
Radio, radio
Radio, I'm alone
Radio, radio
Radio, please don't go

I sit in the dark light
To wait for ghost night
To bring the past alive
To make a toast to life
Cause I have survived

What is it you want
What is it you want to change
What is it you want
What is it you want to change
What is it you want to change

Radio, radio, radio, radio
Radio, radio, radio, radio
Radio, radio, radio, radio

What is it you want
What is it you want to change
What is it you want
What is it you want to change
What is it you want to change

[blanket_skies]

I think I of the mourning is the better song but I think Mayonaise has got the better lyrics

Mayonaise

[oryann]

Mayonaise

[introspectiate]

Mayonaise

[robochimp7]

I love I of the mourning, but Mayonaise definitely has the better lyrics.

Mayonaise

[Parksey]

IOTM is one of my fav songs, but Mayo wins easily.

[ABDCE]

I of the Mourning

here is no why! great lyrics

hell yeah, and ya know... i always felt that Here is No Why was one of those songs that is easy to briefly forget about when listening to the red disk...then ya hear the first notes and it's like Christmas again! ok, well...maybe that's just me :)/> fantastic song.

even though as we talk about our favorite lyrics, (if we are all alike here) we will have a new answer for this topic every other hour!

soooo my "current" answer is Slunk just because the "Ride on Motherfucker" lyric riles me up into a seriously rockin mood unlike any other.
