Guess the Source of the Above Lyric Excerpt

As the title implies, the first poster gives a lyric excerpt. The next poster has to guess the singer/band who sang it, as well as the title of the song where the lyric came from. The above poster then tells them if they are correct.

To begin....

"It's like I'm / paranoid, looking over my back
It's like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right
Beneath my skin"

& Yes indeed. It is the first chorus of "Papercut", the opening track of Hybrid Theory.

Papercut - Linkin Park

Not about to see your light/ And if you want to find hell with me/ I can show you what it's like/ Till you're bleeding

yep.

Paper cut by Linkin Park.

mother by Danzig.

I'm stuck in your head and I'm laughing!

I filled you with dread and I can't stop laughing!

Your parents are dead and I can't stop laughing!

What else can I do?

Now I'm part of you.

Yeah, tried going for the lyrics that didn't give it away.

"Take Me on Home to the Asylum", it's sung by a hallucination of The Joker in Batman: Arkham Knight

"So let me be your hero
And cast away your sin above
Let me be your hero
And cast away the sin you own"

Oh hey, you guessed right! This song is their first English song, as a matter of fact. Their previous songs were all in Indonesian.

"Hero" by NOAH?

"In the harbor quarter

In the stone and mortar

In the star that we both share

In the sound of laughter

Now and ever after

Look for me, I will be there!"

Correct-ish. Mark sang the male part of this duet, but he didn't write the song. Still, I'll say it counts!

I Will Be There by Mark Seibert (got to love google)

I was lying in a burned out basement, with the full moon in my eyes

I was hoping for replacement, when the sun burst through the sky

There was a band playing in my head and I felt like I could cry

Correct!

After the Gold Rush by Neil Young.

I really hate you

Stop getting in my way

I've lost my patience

When are you gonna decay?

I want to throw you out

Just like my broken TV

If you'll come back once more

It shall be painful you'll see!

I hope you die in a fire!

Hope you'll be stabbed in the heart, hope you'll get shot and expire!

Hope you'll be taken apart

Hope this is what you desire!

I don't know. (Can you say that?)

It's "Green Light Ride" from Team Sonic Racing. You were right on track, as that's also by Crush 40.

Edited by PrincessPandaTrope on Sep 28th 2020 at 5:50:27 AM

I’m gonna guess a Sonic Adventure song, I just don’t know which one. Maybe "Live And Learn"?

Life will change-Persona 5.

When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway

When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away

There's more to living than only surviving

Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying!

yes.

"Staring at the Sun" by the Offspring?

"Monster" by Teminite.

Is she in New Orleans

Is she a Cajun Queen

I wonder what she's doing now

But if I know her

She's got rings and furs

Struggling along somehow

Struggling along somehow

Nope, the name of the song is "Gonna Take a Lot of River" and it's by The Oak Ridge Boys, the above excerpt is from the bridge of the song.

Edited by pikafan on Oct 3rd 2020 at 10:46:07 AM

Bump

I have a feeling the song's title is Cajun Queen or something.

Over the hills and far away

A million miles from LA

Just anywhere away with you

I know we've got to get away

Some place where no one knows our name

We'll find the start of something new

Correct!

Edited by TheGeekArtist08 on Oct 2nd 2020 at 4:04:49 PM

"Gonna Take A Lot of River" by the Oak Ridge Boys.

Rita Ora - "Anywhere"

"In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
(wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I)
My sanctuary my sanctuary yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music will tie
(wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I)
What's left of me what's left of me now"

Correct.

Hikaru Utada - Sanctuary

Right, I’ll admit that one was tricky. It was Ai Ninomiya - On My Own, from the OST of Blood Blockade Battlefront. The particular bit’s at 2:23 in the link.

Edited by unfortunatezorua on Oct 2nd 2020 at 5:54:56 PM

No idea.

I took no dives in the fight scene

I had a stuntman keep my suit clean

There's no technology to fake up a song

They stop the orchestra if you get it wrong

Correct

Eltree by the Buggles.

City's breaking down on a camel's back

They just have to go 'cause they don't know whack

So while you fill the streets, it's appealing to see

You won't get undercounted 'cause you're damned and free

You got a new horizon, it's ephemeral style

A melancholy town where we never smile

And all I wanna hear is the message beep

My dreams, they got her kissing, 'cause I don't get sleep, no.

you are correct.

Edited by Superjohn on Oct 2nd 2020 at 5:46:27 AM

Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.

Yeah you had a go at sleeping in the van

But you couldn't let it go too far

Now you got a pension plan

And your name's on the insurance

And you can drive another woman's car.

Dark Sunglasses by Chrissie Hynde (Google is always your friend)

He's got a wanderin' eye and a travelin' mind

Big ideas and a little behind

Out with a different woman every night

But I remember when he was mine

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that

In your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeans

Correct the song is "Why'd you come in here looking like that" by Dolly Parton

Edited by pikafan on Oct 2nd 2020 at 5:51:10 AM

Dolly Parton?

Tonight's the night right here right now I swear

I'll walk into the future without a care, yea-ah

Tonight when all my tears have come and gone

I'll say good bye to yesterday's sad songs, yea-ah

And there may come a time, when I will hesitate

But waiting's part of life now

Rhythm Heaven, Remix 3 - Tonight.

Edited by madface7 on Oct 2nd 2020 at 8:13:05 AM

I have no idea, honestly.

And you thought the lions were bad

Well they tried to kill my brothers

And for every king that died

Oh they would crown another

But it's harder than you think

Telling dreams from one another

Yes.

bump, I guess.

Daniel in the Den by Bastille.

Somewhere between happy and total fucking wreck

Feet sometimes on solid ground, sometimes at the edge

To spend your waking moments, simply counting time

Is to give up on your hopes and dreams, give up on your?

Life for you, has been less than kind

So take a number, stand in line

We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt

How we survive, is what makes us who we are.

yes.

Edited by Superjohn on Oct 3rd 2020 at 11:51:13 AM

Survive by Rise Against

To let you go

Never knowing, what went wrong

Kentucky rain keeps pouring down, and up ahead's

Another town that I'll go walking through

With the rain in my shoes

Correct
