Ill go with this one.

Holding Out for a Hero
Bonnie Tyler
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods
Where's the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed
Late at night I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night

 

Favourite is too difficult Too many options.
But this song is stuck in Aki's head now. Hehe it's violent

This Little Girl

You got your keys, but where you goin'?
The third degree just isn't workin'
'Cause you walked out without asking me to go
And if I followed you home, would you be alone?

I checked your phone 'cause it was beeping
Are you alone? I know you're creepin'
'Cause you walked out without asking me to go
But if I followed you home, I hope you're alone

I'm three steps from the edge, whoa, whoa
Don't push me over it
Don't you know, don't you know?

Every girl is capable of murder, if you hurt her
Watch out, you don't push me any further, any further
You're not the only one walking 'round with a loaded gun
This little girl is capable of murder, 'cause you hurt her

My hands are clean, not yet a killer
Ain't I your queen? And did you tell her?
'Cause you broke down all my shoulda known betters
And I followed you home, throwin' sticks and stones

I'm two steps from the edge, whoa, whoa
Don't push me over it
Don't you know, don't you know?

Every girl is capable of murder, if you hurt her
Watch out, you don't push me any further, any further
You're not the only one walking 'round with a loaded gun
This little girl is capable of murder, 'cause you hurt her

Don't you know you should never treat a girl like that?
Got a good alibi, and my bag's all packed
Don't you know you should never treat a girl like that?
'Cause the next one is gonna have a hammer pulled back

Every girl is capable of murder
So watch out, you don't push me any further

But you hurt her

Every girl is capable of murder, if you hurt her
Watch out, you don't push me any further, any further
You're not the only one walking 'round with a loaded gun
This little girl is capable of murder (Hey!)

This little girl is capable of murder, 'cause you hurt her

 

Maybe this one...not exactly my favorite, but I like the thought-provoking lyrics.

One of Us
Joan Osborne

If god had a name, what would it be?
And would you call it to his face
if you were faced with Him in all His glory?
What would you ask if you had just one question?

And yeah, yeah, God is great.
Yeah, yeah, God is good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What if god was one of us,
just a slob like one of us,
just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home?

If God had a face, what would it look like?
And would you want to see
if seeing meant that you would have to believe
in things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints
and all the prophets?

And yeah, yeah, God is great.
Yeah, yeah, God is good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What if god was one of us,
just a slob like one of us,
just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home?

Just trying to make his way home, back up to heaven all alone.
Nobody calling on the phone,
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome.

Yeah, yeah, God is great.
Yeah, yeah, God is good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What if god was one of us,
just a slob like one of us,
just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home,
just trying to make his way home, just like a holy rolling stone?
Back up to heaven all alone, just trying to make his way home.

Nobody calling on the phone,
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome.

 

I love the jealousy jealousy song by Olivia Rodrigo. Because it's lyrics really relates in my real life when my parents compare me with other kids.

Mainly this paragraph...

Co-comparison is killin' me slowly
I think, I think too much
'Bout kids who don't know me
I'm so sick of myself
I'd rather be, rather be
Anyone, anyone else
But jealousy, jealousy (yeah)

I also love the way she sings, it plays in my head constantly lol.

 

Someone to Hate
Demon Hunter

A figure for the closing of time, the antagonist divine
Void of vacant word, one final answer to be heard
I will carry my decree into a storm of lead
This is total war, my want for tolerance is dead

To my last breath
I am someone to hate
I will spit upon the idol for which you stand
I will carry the weight
I will bury your deception with a wrathful hand

Heart is cold, and my weapons are washed in blood
I avow to the call on high
My resolve in the blessed above, in this ever-consuming divide

A figure for the closing of time, the antithesis defined
Threat to faith untrue, I am the enemy of new
All you advocates of Hell, you corruptors of free will
The culling is nigh, better get your fill

To my last breath
I am someone to hate
I will spit upon the idol for which you stand
I will carry the weight
I will bury your deception with a wrathful hand

Heart is cold, and my weapons are washed in blood
I avow to the call on high
My resolve in the blessed above, in this ever-consuming divide

I am the cry for the falling of time

Born into the lust within our eyes
Taught to write the scriptures for our lives
We inherit the lies

To my last breath, to my final day.

 

This reminded me of this song

 

In anime where love is lewd, a poor boy's heart shall soon be screwed...

 

I love this phrase from Leia
"Negau dake no kotoba wa, imi o motanakatta"
Means, words consist of only hope have no meaning

 

Harleys In Hawaii - Katy Perry

Boy, tell me, can you take my breath away?
Cruisin' down a heart-shaped highway
Got you swervin' lane-to-lane, don't hit the brakes
'Cause I'm feelin' so safe
I'll be your baby, on a Sunday
Oh, why don't we get out of town?
Call me your baby, on the same wave
Oh, no, no, there's no slowin' down
You and I, I
Ridin' Harleys in Hawaii-i-i
I'm on the back, I'm holdin' tight, I
Want you to take me for a ride, ride
When I hula-hula, hula
So good, you'll take me to the jeweler-jeweler, jeweler
There's pink and purple in the sky-y-y
We're ridin' Harleys in Hawaii-i-i
Let me run my fingers through your salty hair
Go ahead, explore the island vibes
So real that you can feel it in the air
I'm revvin' up your engine
I'll be your baby, on a Sunday
Oh, why don't we get out of town? (why don't we get out of town?)
Call me your baby, catch the same wave
Oh, no, no, there's no slowin' down (let's go)
You and I, I
Ridin' Harleys in Hawaii-i-i
I'm on the back, I'm holdin' tight, I
Want you to take me for a ride, ride
When I hula-hula, hula
So good, you'll take me to the jeweler-jeweler, jeweler
There's pink and purple in the sky-y-y
We're ridin' Harleys in Hawaii-i-i
No, no
You and I (you and I, I)
Ridin' Harleys in Hawaii-i-i
I'm on the back, I'm holdin' tight, I
Want you to take me for a ride, ride
When I hula-hula, hula
So good, you'll take me to the jeweler-jeweler, jeweler
There's pink and purple in the sky-y-y
We're ridin' Harleys in Hawaii-i-i
I'll be your baby, on a Sunday
Oh
We're ridin' Harleys in Hawaii-i
Call me your baby, catch the same wave
Oh
We're ridin' Harleys in Hawaii-i

 

Got a lot of favourites so picked a random one

Two Faced

Every day I wake up sad
A broken vase I can’t put back
I grab my mirror and practice smiles
Don’t forget it’s in the eyes

‘Cause I want people to think
I’m always in sync
I’ll never reveal that I
I barely can breathe
I’m drowning at sea
This ocean inside my mind

Everybody loves me ‘cause I’m two faced
‘Cause I pretend that nothing’s wrong
(Nothing’s wrong / nothing’s wrong)
Post a happy photo see how long it takes
The likes and loves and hearts to come

But I hurt so deep inside
Laugh when I wanna cry
Hide all my tears so you won’t see
I’m two faced I’m two faced

All my friends they’re just like me
We don’t know why we’re unhappy
So we pretend that we’re okay
It’s just easier that way

‘Cause even though we are sinking
We keep on drinking
Black out the truth inside
We can’t risk the shame
You’d think we’re insane
The loving is worth the lie

Everybody loves me ‘cause I’m two faced
You’d never guess that something’s wrong
(Something’s wrong / something’s wrong)
Post a happy photo see how long it takes (How long it takes)
To get a little thumbs up

But I hurt so deep inside
Laugh when I wanna cry
Hide all my tears so you won’t see
I’m two faced I’m two faced

I got so many problems
But I can’t solve ‘em
I’ll lock them inside my head
I can’t show my pain
Take it to the grave
And bury it deep instead

But I hurt so deep inside
Laugh when I wanna cry
Hide all my tears so you won’t see I’m two faced

But to be specific my favourite lyrics would be

The loving is worth the lie

 

Agreed, how could we choose a final winner when there are so many good songs out there? Even choosing an englsih one only narrows it down so much.

Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows

And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows

One of my favorite artists, Sigrid, made a cover for Justice League:

 

Me too... Even now my family still compare me to other people.. i kindda sick and tired of it. Well when i down i listen my song - scandal band JP band. It helpfull song somehow..

 

It should be illegal how good this song is. It's even funnier how I never understood the lyrics untill I got into high school.

Oh-ooh-oh-ooh
I want a Hentai girl for me to make me happy
I want her so I can stop using my hands
Every single day, while watching anime
I'd pull her from my screen just like in my dreams

I want my own hentai girl and she would sing

I want my own hentai girl and she would sing

アトラクトライト (Attract light) by *Luna

Spoiler

Translation is possibly dubious but this is beautiful

Dreams wouldn't come true, wishes went unheard
Is that why you'll stop walking forward?
Hard work went unrewarded, nobody acknowledged it
Is that why you'll stop running?
Are you going to stop?

If it's reasons to quit,
There's 10, 100, or even 1000 of them
But in all of that, there's only a tiny one that could be seen
If it's reasons to run away,
They come up right away that it gets tiring
But there's enough light to keep it from spilling over

 

I can't say this is my favourite but its pretty close to it. It's a Japanese song btw



No Title - Reol

It seems that I've gotten used to just living a dream
It feels like I've reached the point of no return
I jump up two stairs with my own feet
And because it looked like I'd keep going from there, I ran away
After stitching the deepening wound
The paths are connecting and springing away
The usual pain, the beat and my breathing quickens
Act so though I don't feel anything alone again

Who is right? There never is one
Who was wrong? Shouldn't they be compensated?
That one you hate so much is surely just "like that"
Just wrong for "that"
I advise it's zero points, but it's not accepted at all
The frontier was always here
The best way wasn't there in the first place

Slowly and gently, it crumbles and breaks
As if it's slowly, slowly choking
Me of yesterday is being killed off
Slowly and gently, our scattered ennui
When I hear you speak unethically
It turns into a voice I don't know

Since I was young when I realized it was always by my side
Just like air, I firmly held your hand in mine
Cheerful things, tears, I told them all to you
People who laugh at me voices that jeer me
You sang so I won't hear them
You received this voice
Every night worries are projected
Even though I say "I was used and discarded to rot"
The unstoppable hi-fi zeitgeist

Just for one moment, just for one round
Heartbeats cross by, noises, connected colors
Next time I will sing for you

Slowly and gently, it crumbles and breaks
As if it's slowly, slowly choking
Me of yesterday is being killed off
Slowly and gently, our scattered ennui
When I hear you speak unethically
It turns into a voice I don't know
Slowly and gently, it crumbles and breaks
As if it's slowly, slowly choking
Me of yesterday is being killed off
Slowly and gently, our scattered ennui
When I hear you speak unethically
It turns into a voice I don't know

Will this reach you someday?
No, that day will never arrive, will it?
You, without voice or body
Saved millions of people, me being one of them
Mixed and colored, red and blue
The world overflowed with that noise
Everyone who heard the noise that finally met up

Slowly and gently, it crumbles and breaks
As if it's slowly, slowly choking
Me of yesterday is being killed off
Slowly and gently, our scattered ennui
When I hear you speak unethically
It turns into a voice I don't know
Slowly and gently, it crumbles and breaks
As if it's slowly, slowly choking
Me of yesterday is being killed off
Slowly and gently, our scattered ennui
When I hear you speak unethically
It turns into a voice I don't know

 

I'm not sure favorite is the right word, maybe haunting, but it does stick in my head.

"Rocky Mountain Music" by Eddie Rabbit

Back upon an old dirt road
Next to a swamp full of toads
Was a slanted wood shack with three little kids and a mama

Papa died in '63
Left little Jenny and me
To plant those taters and pull up another tomorrow

Rocky mountain music
Fills my memory
Rocky mountain music
Papa, can I hear you playing for me?

Little brother was never quite right
He used to sit on the floor in the sunlight
Play with the dust that danced on the beams in the window

And sister had to cook and clean
'Cause Mama, she got sick and lean
Sometimes I think she just died away missing Papa

Rocky mountain music
Fills my memory
Rocky mountain music
Mama, can I hear you singing to me?

Well, everything has changed today
And little brother, he was taken away
And sister, she married a soldier and lives in Toledo

And me, I'm in a Nashville bar
And I've never been so far
From that old gravel road and the rivers that run through my memory

Rocky mountain music
Fills my memory
Rocky mountain music
Brother, can I hear you calling me?

Rocky mountain music
Fills my memory
Rocky mountain music
Papa, can I hear you playing for me?

Too many to choose from. What's in my head right now though:
What if who I hoped to be was always me?
And the love I fought to feel was always free?
What if all the things I've done
Were just attempts at earning love?
'Cause the hole inside my heart is stupid deep
Oh, stupid deep
Stupid Deep- Jon Bellion

 

Probably all of Alec Benjamin's songs
I really like them, so I can't choose since there's a lot of them
but what popped up in my head was this,

I had a friend I knew in the 9th grade and
He didn't come to class one day cause
They found something inside his brain so they sent him home

So I went to see him after school I said
Is there something that I can do that
Might make feel more comfortable?
And he told me no

He said I'm happy that you made it
Please, don't treat me like your patient
I don't need more medication, mm

The only way I know that I'm alive is cause it hurts
So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
Cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt
The only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is cause it hurts
Is cause it hurts

And I won't forget the things he said
Everytime I started to feel depressed to be
Greatful that I still have breath down inside my lungs

Cause without the darkness there's no light
And without the pain there be no life, so
Even when it hurts inside I won't try to run

I'll be happy that I made it
I'll be open, I'll embrace it
I won't take no medication, mm

The only way I know that I'm alive is cause it hurts
So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
Cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt
The only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is cause it hurts
Is cause it hurts

 

Bra Size Forty Five
Bra Size Forty Five
Well I went out for a Boogie
A week ago last Tuesday
I was doing the Wigan Hustle and the Palais Glide
I met a girl in pink suspenders
And her buz-whams were stupendous
Like two bald-headed men sitting side by side
She wore a BRA SIZE 45 and she could jump and Jive
And when she stopped dancing, bits of her kept wobbling about
She said You Drive Me Crazy
Burn Some Rubber On Me Baby
She grabbed my little whistle and she began to shout
Hit me with your rhythm stick! Hit me! Hit Me!
Je t'adore. Ich leibe dich. Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick!
I'm six feet tall and five feet thick
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!

Bra Size Forty Five
Bra Size Forty Five
I couldn't do nothing but stand and stare
She gave me a hug like a grizzly bear
I couldn't see much I thought I was dead
I had boobs upside my head

(Short quote from Ooops Upside My head)
Boobs upside my head
Boobs upside my head

(Parody of Baggy Trousers by Madness)
Oh what a front she had
Enough for me, my brother and dad
A chest of drawers no doubt
One with the top drawer half-pulled-out
Oh what a front she'd got
Believe me son she'd got the lot
Right before my eyes
And she was bra size forty five

Er...excuse me, what do I do now?
Man be cool..gotta get down and have a rap.
I beg yer pardon? I think I'll do a talking bit instead!

She was the big economy size, her buz-whams were gigantic
Like two fat little boys wrestling under a blanket
The flickering strobes lit up the globes that thrust from her pullover
I think her name was June cause she was Bustin' Out All Over.
She said Can You Feel The Force? D'y'wanna take One Step Beyond?
I said Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire, there's a Whole Lot Of Shaking Going On!
She said Knock On Wood, I'll Blame It On The Boogie now what do you think about that?
I said Oooh heck! It Must Be Jelly cause Jam Don't Shake Like That
Not so much of the Night Fever, more like a belt with a tyre lever
She was not at all pendulous, in fact she was tremendulous!
Bra Size Forty Five
Bra Size Forty-five
Bra Size Forty Five
Bra Size Forty-five
She wore a bra size forty five
And when they played I Will Survive
She went crackers, and her animal desires became much keener
She said John I'm Only Dancing, but I'd rather be romancing
She had me Inside Out And Upside Down in the back of my Cortina*
Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick

(Parody of CARS by Gary Numan)
And there in my car, the windows all steamed up
I thought I would drown, she let it all hang out in Bras
Size Forty Five
And there in my car, I thought This Is It!
An Instant Replay, My foot out the window in Bras
Size Forty Five

(Direct quote from Swords Of A Thousand Men by Tenpole Tudor)
Hoorah hoorah hoorah hey over the hills and now I'm on My way!
(I got out my tentpole and chewed er)
Hoorah hoorah hoorah hey over the hills and now I'm on My way!
(Come on, let's do the Bristol Stomp)

She wore a Bra Size Forty Five
I thought I never would revive
When I tackled that young lady with the bounciest of blouses
But she left me for a geezer
Who had much more chance to please er
With his own Master Blaster and a pair of Baggy Trousers.
Oh what fun they had!
Bra Size Forty Five
Bra Size Forty-five
Bra Size Forty Five
Bra Size Forty-five
And that's why, And that's why, And that's why, and that's why
(The Winker's Song)
I'm a Wanker, I'm a Wanker
And it does me good like it bloody well should
I'm a Wanker, I'm a Wanker
And I'm always pulling my pud
I'm a Wanker, I'm a Wanker
And it does me good like it bloody well should
I'm a Wanker, I'm a Wanker
And I'm always pulling my pud'

Thanks for the mammary, I think I've got it sussed
You've seen one, you've seen em both. I'm gonna go for bust.
Don't they make a lovely pair? They look like a couple of Himalayas.
Double top, boogie on down, Bristol is my favourite town
Everybody understands, arthritis in both hands
She's a disco bumper, she's got a lumpy jumper
Cross your heart and hope to die, please don't poke me in the eye
I know a girl from Potter's Bar got eaten by her living bra

I said Baby, oh baby. Surround me. Drown me.
Engulf me! Chew me up and spit me out.
Let me shipwreck against those white cliffs of Dover.
Get Back Leroy! Get Back Leroy! I wanna be Mr In-Between. Oooh wah! She was a Bra Size Forty Five. Have you ever seen anything like that? Come on let's do The Bristol Stomp. Ooh! Hrbbbllerrllrl!
Y'know when you see things like that, you just wanna walk up to'em,
and stick your head between em and go hbrbrbrbbrbrlrlblblblb.
Whoo! Bra Size Forty Five! What a stupendous lady!
You don't get many of those to the pound!
Oooh! Kick em over your shoulders!
Double top, boogie on down, Bristol is my favourite town!
Great Balls Of Fire! There's a Whole Lot Of Shaking Going On!
It Must Be Jelly Cos Jam Don't Shake Like That! Ooh!
Look! There's a lady police officer! Can You Feel The Force?
