Galapogos has always been a favorite lyrically. Gotta go with it here.

[LostSoul]

Galapogos. No contest. Now if we were talking songs as a whole, it'd be much tougher to decide.

[R_Dorothy Wayneright]

It has to be Galapogos.

The Imploding Voice
vs.
Pennies



"The Imploding Voice"

Everywhere you are
Is everywhere you've been
Just lost to the beat
Punching through your skin
You don't know what to do
But still you wanna crawl
All through the broken glass
That's everywhere you are
Your love must always be true
Your love must always be you
Everywhere you are
Anywhere you go
Even if you're starved
It matters what you do
But if even if you've gone too far
You can follow you
Everywhere you are
And in your mind
You were alone
All this time
With everything you are
And every smile you wore
Still locked in your heart
Everywhere you are
Everywhere you are
Every single chard
Everywhere you are
You're never too far
Cause anywhere you go
Even to the stars
All you have to do
Is play the part of who you are
The rest is up to you
Phase unwound
By yourself
Atom bomb
On the shelf, unsung
Pause of light
Pulse of life
New face dawns
Everywhere you are
And everywhere you go
Even if you're down
Even if you're low
It's in the thought of you
It's in the eyes of all
Astride a storried past
That's everywhere you are
Your love must always be true
Your love must always be you
Everywhere you are
Anywhere you go
Even if you're scarred
It's all a part of you
But ever should you put it down
You can never lose me
Everywhere you are
Everywhere you are
Everywhere you are
Everywhere you are
Everywhere you are
Everywhere you are
Everywhere you are
Everywhere you are
Everywhere you are
Everywhere you are
Everywhere you are
Everywhere you are
Everywhere you are

"Pennies"

And I stumbled onto you
As you stumbled over me
And you say the fates were cruel
For throwing us together
I always loved you so
Especially when you'd go
All the world must know
All the world must know
That I loved you so
It's a pity we're apart
It's a shame you broke my heart
But I've got a new girlfriend
She looks a lot like you dear
No one could ever do dear
All the world must know
That I loved you so
Especially when you'd go
Especially when you'd go
Especially when you'd go
Away and leave me here
All the world must know

Soma is a great song, but this is all based on lyrics, and I don't think Soma can run with the big boys when it's only lyrics.

[kjrain12]

While Pennies is the better song, Imploding Voice has the better lyrics.

[R_Dorothy Wayneright]

Imploding Voice! Fa sure.

I respectfully disagree. The lyrics in Soma have always meant so much to me and managed to comfort me when I'm feeling alone. I'll admit they aren't the most skillfully crafted lyrics around, but sometimes simple words can say a lot. Oh well, on with the contest!

Once Upon a Time
vs.
In the Arms of Sleep



"Once Upon a Time"

Mother I'm tired
Come surrender my son
Time has ravaged on my soul
No plans to leave but still I go
Fallin' with the leaves
Fallin' out of sleep
To the last goodbyes
Who cares why?
Mother I've tried
Wasting my life
I haven't given up, I lie
To make you so proud in my eyes
Fallin' out of sleep
Crawlin' over me
To the last goodbyes
Who cares why?
Tuesdays come and gone
Restless still I drive
Try to leave it all behind
Fallin', fallin' out of sleep
Fallin', fallin' with the leaves
I got crawlin', crawlin' over me
Once upon a time in my life...
I went falling
Mother I hope you know
That I miss you so
Time has ravaged on my soul
To wipe a mother's tears grown cold

"In the Arms of Sleep"

Sleep will not come to this tired body now
Peace will not come to this lonely heart
There are some things I'll live without
But I want you to know that I need you right now
I need you tonite
I steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves
Cause I'll always miss her wherever she goes
And I'll always need her more than she could ever need me
I need someone to ease my mind
But sometimes a someone is so hard to find
And I'll do anything to keep her here tonite
And I'll say anything to make her feel alright
And I'll be anything to keep her here tonite
Cause I want you to stay, with me
I need you tonite
She comes to me like an angel out of time
As I play the part of a saint on my knees
There are some things I'll live without
But I want you to know that I need you right now
Suffer my desire
Suffer my desire
Suffer my desire for you

[purelunasea80]

once upon a time...so moving.

musically i have always thought of it as a sort of sequel to in the arms of sleep, the strummy, atmospheric acoustic ballad in 3/4 time thing. both great lyrics too, but o.u.a.t. is more meaningful and rhapsodic to me.

Age of Innocence
vs.
Towers of Rabble


"Age of Innocence"

We dismiss
The backroads
And ride these streets
Unafraid
Resigned to
Scraping paint
From our bones
Unashamed
No more the eye upon you
No more the simple man
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
As you might have guessed
All is never shown
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
And in my prayers
I dream alone
A silent speech
To deaf ear
If you want love
You must be love
But if you bleed love
You will die love
No more the lie upon you
Cast in stone and autumn shade
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
As you might have sensed
We won't make it home
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
Before the rites of spring
Come to mean all things
A little taste of what may come
A mere glimpse of what has gone
Cause for the moment we are free
We seek to bind our release
Too young to die, too rich to care
Too fucked to swear that i was there
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
As you might have guessed
We won't make it home
Desolation yes
Hesitation no

"Towers of Rabble"

Be yourself, don't be yourself
Speak your mind, don't speak your mind
Stand alone, don't stand alone
Be on your own, be all alone
And as the bells ring the graces
Of a newborn day
The voices sing the praises
Of your promised youth, promised whenever
And no one can see you
So do what you want to
You're invisible next to forever
Be yourself, don't be yourself
Speak your mind, don't speak your mind
Stand alone, don't stand alone
Be on your own, be all alone
Take some time to thank the souls
For all their emptiness
Upon the fever dreams of distant sons
And daughters dressed for ransoms, for never
And nobody knows you
Even if they pretend to
They all sure that they're just as clever
Truth is rare as ivory
The truth is in their pure deceit
Blessed in your naivete
Ooh, I thank you all
Ooh, I thank you all
Ooh, I thank you all, I do
Ooh, I thank you all

Age of Innocence, but like Alexis said, they're both not very strong lyrically :\.

[Carrie]

I disagree

[blanket_skies]

Screw you guys. Towers of rabble is one of my favorite SP song lyrically, I think it's some of their best lyrics.
