Poetic Song Lyrics

February 5, 2021 at 3:18 pm, No comments

Song lyrics are one of the most underrated pieces of literature. Although not all of them are masterpieces 


“Yeah, right, picture that with a Kodak

Or better yet, go to Times Square

Take a picture of me with a Kodak”

- Pitbull.

Here at ROPES we have compiled a list of our favourite song lyrics.


1. They called it paradise, I don’t know why 

You call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye

-The Last Resort ,The Eagles



2. Slow down , you’re doing fine 

You can’t be everything you want to be before your time

-Vienna, Billy Joel



3. Starry starry night

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze

Swirling clouds in violet haze

Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue

-Vincent ,Don McClean



4. Oh, through the wilderness

How come even together there can be loneliness?

Oh,our heart’s a mess

But it’s our only defense to brave the wilderness

-One Foot , Walk the Moon


5. Gonna stand up

And I'm gonna matter

'Cause I've had enough of my dreams being shattered

-Girl in the  Movies, Dolly Parton 



 6. Back to the sun

Back to the shore

Back to what I was before

Back where I'm known

Back in my own

Very small pond

- Legally Blonde the Musical


7. What does it mean 

If I tell you 

To go fuck yourself

Or if I say that you’re beautiful to me?

-Affection, Cigarettes After Sex
