All of this great adventure travel
How is it?
I have those transactions
I make them.
Is to say

All the journeys of this great adventure
It didn't always feel that way
I wouldn't trade them
Because I made them
The best I could, and that's enough to say
—"Headlong Flight", again by Rush.

Sidenote: translating the third and fourth line together produces the line "Why replace it." which comes surprisingly close to what the actual line meant.

You can stop.
You can stop.
Oh you can't, won't cannot stop you.
Mike D check lock shot, come

'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
Oh when you can't, you won't and you don't stop
Mike D come on and rock the sure shot
Sure Shot— Beastie Boys (the last line kind of gave it away)

As an amusing sidenote, "Who the fuck are you" reaches equilibrium as "man sex" but "Oh, who the fuck are you" becomes "Oh, and guys, sex."

...I think I might actually used the lyrics found in equilibrium in an actual song. Particularly the "Heart break the dreams of a mysterious air" part. That actually sounds quite meaningful without actually meaning anything.

Kelly Clarkson's Since U Been Gone seems not to produce equilibrium, but I was amused that it produced a So Yeah. Oh how I miss when that was bluelinked.

Always can take 8 of my house.
Confident the shuttle to the station.
Morning must-read post town.*


Definitely, gets editing between the eyebrows.

Must have left my house at eight because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned

[up] "editing between the eyebrows" sounds like a cryptic way of saying "getting rid of one's monobrow".

I'm cheating by using a song that didn't make much sense in the first place, but:

Saw the appointment of childhood dreams. Man pony is a great collection of all your clothes?

[up] Not familiar with the song (though a certain keyword jumped out at me, so I had a hunch as to the source), but that was hilarious.

Hi, all crazy mobile phone watch is here it is.

Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe. Yeah, I felt it had to be done at some point

God knows the name of the reference. See the madman writes.

XTC - Dear God

And probably my favorite:

  • Many angels? Still, can you light?
  • I need to know my heart. However, drill a hole in my soul.

  • Or fill the sky. I know happiness.
  • See your chance of hope.
  • Stars come in desperate need.

Luna's Boat Song

  • Is an angel watching closely over me? Can there be a guiding light I've yet to see?
  • I know my heart should guide me but, there's a hole within my soul

  • What will fill this emptiness inside of me?
  • Am I to be satisfied without knowing?

  • I wish, then, for a chance to see
  • Now all I need (desperately) is my star to come

Is your best friend ever.
It is such a long time.
You're my sunshine...
I think I really want to know.
Really love you...
You are my best friend.

Adding punctuation seems to make better translations, although it seems to randomly add ellipses at some points. I'm not even adding the source, if you can even remember the song at all you're going to get this one.

EDIT: OK, this ones just very weird in how adding a part at the beginning completely changes the entire thing, making it far less accurate.

Single sentence: Can't stop thinking big. ("I can't stop thinking big")

Compound sentence: Stop the most deaf people, big ideas here. (In a world where I feel so small, I can't stop thinking big.

Looking for sailors of all bands of Sam's keeper.

Wings, 'Band On The Run'

This is a film of the rod. Slip into the past. Crack step back mother to break you down.

Devo - "Whip It"

Anti virus is the anarchists

The Sex Pistols - "Anarchy In The UK"

Thatother1dude appears to be right about punctuation - I ran that last one through as two separate sentences and it wound up disappointingly close to the actual lyrics. Also, oddly just as I wrote this, that song came up on shuffle.
