As for lyrics I've written... that's tough. I happen to write really personal stuff, so what's meaningful to me may not connect with someone else. But I suppose that's true of any lyric.
Here are a few lines I'm proud of:
"You're holding yourself out as an example
Of how you think everyone should be.
Because of who I fuck with...
You think that you can fuck with me.
But all the fire threatening my soul
And all the riteous stones that you can throw
Won't make me believe in your superiority"
If for no other reason than - it ain't easy to make a six syllable word fit into a rock song!
A friend of mine wrote some lyrics once that I thought were a great combination of unique poetic imagery and subject matter:
"I saw the face of your child
She's fiery just like you
She shines a difficult light
Hot orange and cold blue"
Good stuff.
