"When night falls she cloaks the world in impenetrable darkness. A chill rises from the soil and contaminates the air. Suddenly, life has new meaning."
- Dunkelheit by Burzum
"I shot an angel with my fathers rifle. I should've set it free, but I let it bleed. Made it into taxidermy, hung it on my wall."
- Poacher's Pride by Nicole Dollanganger
"I saw you kneeling on a desert plateau. Your eyes were melting from inside your skull. The wind was burning holes into my skin. Where does a body end?"
- Where Does Your Body Begin? by Michael Gira
"Her, she can go quietly, by disease or a blow. To the base of her neck, where her necklaces close. Where her garments come together, where I used to lay my face. That's where you ought to kill her. In that particular place."
- Prayer To God by Shellac
"You are ready to admit to murder, to assault, to robbery, to pederasty, to fraud. You are ready to take the blame for every crime of all men. But the jury is out to lunch."
- Blues by Geordie Greep
"The easiest way to sleep at night is to carry on believing that I don't exist. The easiest way to sell your soul is to carry on believing that we don't exist. It must be hard, hard, with your head on backwards."
- Permanent Daylight by Radiohead
"You were wrong to resist me. I was wrong to forgive. Now I loathe my own weakness. But you praise me for this. There's a place in your future, where the wound will be healed. And the children you injured, will rise up, purified, then kill your name. You're afraid of the mirror, so you crawl on the floor. Where you count your perversions, then you rise up. Filthy. With remorse."
- Empathy by Swans
"Alison, I'll drink your wine. I'll wear your clothes when we're both high. Alison, I said we're sinking. But she laughs and tells me it's just fine. I guess she's out there somewhere."
- Alison by Slowdive
"Now, I am your mute wife. You wrote your name on my back with your knife. My pain is pointless and endless. I'm your stupid child now. Who is shaking with grief in your mouth, and I'm calling your name from Hell."
- My True Body by Angels of Light
"All that you left, you left for someone. All of this hurt that's wilted off. All this relief, it's the oddest thing. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god."
- Apistat Commander by Xiu Xiu
"But I saw a man cry once. Down on his knees. In the corner of a darkened cell. And his pain meant nothing to me. But I was younger then. And young men never die. When I walked out in the sun, I was strong, clear-minded, and blind."
- Blind by Swans
"How can you offer me love like that? My heart's burned. How can you offer me love like that? I'm exhausted, leave me alone. Possibly maybe, possibly maybe, possibly maybe. Since we broke up, I'm using lipstick again. I suck my tongue in remembrance of you."
- Possibly Maybe by Bjork
"And we steal our experience from an object that suffers. But the brightest pain leaves a shadow on no one. I saw you through the window masturbating to the violence, and the blood and the bodies floated through the blue sun."
- Telepathy by Swans
"I learned it all from you, girl, I got it all from you. How to howl the moon, yeah, and how to scratch a dog. I do it every day, come back again tomorrow. You chase it all away."
- Purr by Sonic Youth
"My little black angel, as years go by, I want you to fly with wings held high. I want you to live by the justice code. I want you to burn down freedom's road."
"Little black angel, I feel so glad. You'll never have things I never had. When out of men's hearts all hate is gone, it's better to die than forever live on."
- Little Black Angel by Death In June
