There's a few songs that have lyrically moved me. Admittedly I don't listen to music for lyrics that often so I'm not that well versed. But...

John Lennon's - God - "God is a concept, in which we measure our pain." paired with the music, it's really powerful.

Lennon's 'Working Class Hero' is great all around.

A Perfect Circle's 'Orestes', 'The Noose' and Tool's 'Gravity' are pretty dark but thought provoking.

Candy Says by the Velvet Underground is a song about a transvestite that had grown to hate herself.

Jeffrey Lewis is an indie singer songwriter that is hit or miss, but when he's on point - he's on point. Here's Everyone's Honest.

A couple of months ago

I was out drinking with an old friend of mine

What did he say to me

He said he’d like to curse his ex girlfriend just one time

And that everyone’s honest eventually

A bunch of years ago I got taken

By someone who said that shed get me stuff for free

Lots of talk, sweet molasses backstage passes

But everyone’s honest eventually

Summers gone again

Watch the leaves in tonkin square

Just cause nothing equals nothing

Doesn’t mean everything is fair

I knew a guy who was trying hard to never lie

He knew the bible a-to-z

He prayed before bed at night

And thought that he was living right

But everyone’s honest eventually

A friend of mine in Brooklyn was doing heroin

And then he told me that he’d gone clean

It’s all the same to me

What you do with your body

Everyone’s honest eventually

Fall is here again

Watch the leaves in tonkin square

Better put your mittens on

I hear its getting cold out there

I try to live my life just like I’d always pictured it

Become my own self-fulfilling prophecy

Set my sights low so I don’t feel like I have far to go

But everyone’s honest eventually

I had a girl who screwed around with someone else

She let me know almost immediately

And as soon as I found out

I treated her like a broken toy and threw her out

That’s what she got for being honest

Winters here again

No more leaves in tonkin square

Old men walk in circles

They cant find me anywhere

Sometimes when I meet new people

I try too hard to be friendly

Sometimes I try too hard to be cool

They say its horrible to be living a lie

But I’ve also heard it said that nothing is true

Winter never came

Ain’t no more old men in tonkin square

They say its horrible to live a lie

Then they say that nothing is true

What can you do if nothing is true?

Just between me and you

You’re better off not thinking it through

Not thinking it through

drive, just a little be faster

when your talking to me

I said,life

burns a little bit faster

when your crawling down on your knees

I am a disaster

born of pain and misery

I hear the laughter

like all of hell is just talking to me

Driven to the edge,

the edge of life

don't look down or your gonna die

Driven to the edge

and your gonna die

don't look down

just put it in gear and

drive, just a little bit faster when your talking to me

I said

no slow reactions

gotta have a need, a need for speed

avert disaster

gotta cut the wheel

or your gonna bleed

like a slave to a master

your gonna have to learn

to break free

My songs carry a big stick...

Who is your savior, who will save you now?

Your words been spoken, buried in the ground

Silent and still without a sound

A stranglehold has been placed on your wings

You would if you could, but you can�t reach down inside

Everything good systematically been denied

As the evil empire eats you alive, you say to yourself

God,

You picked one hell of a day

to die

Oh no not again, oh not again

Silent and still without a sound

Slowly demons unfold their wings

You would if you could but there�s a feeling inside

Everything good slowly has died

As the evil vampires, as they suck you dry

You say to yourself, you picked one hell of a day

You would if you could but your hands have been tied

What can not burn, slowly been fried

As the evil empire eats you alive,

You say to yourself, you picked one hell of a day

We are the legion

And we shall be forever and ever

Always forever

And we shall not surrender, never

We shall be the ones

Who look down on you N.W.O

bastards, and we�re gonna be the ones that say

Its one hell of a day

To be

Alive
