What are some meaningful lyrics you like?

Ya know, the stuff where you think about it and go "whoa, deep dude." or "Hea-vy!" :D Here's mine:

It begins with a blessing, and it ends with a curse.

Making life easy by making it worse.

My mask is my master the trumpeter weeps.

But his voice is so weak as he speaks from his sleep, saying why? Why? WHY? Why are we sleeping?

People are watching, people who stare. Waiting for something that's already there.

Tomorrow I'll find it, the trumpeter screams,

And remembers that he's hungry and he drowns in his dreams, saying why? Why? WHY? Why are we sleeping?

My head is a nightclub with glasses and wine.

The customers watching are just making time.

When David is cursing, the customers scream.

Now everybody's shouting, GET OUT OF MY DREAM! Saying why? Why? WHY? Why are we sleeping?

--Kevin Ayers, "Why Are We Sleeping"

    There is no pain you are receding

    A distant ship's smoke on the horizon

    You are only coming through in waves

    Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

    When I was a child I had a fever

    My hands felt just like two balloons

    Now I've got that feeling once again

    I can't explain you would not understand

    This is not how I am

    I have become Comfortably Numb.

    -- Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
