Two trance tunes that i remember liking the lyrics were those two. Not that they were any special or clever, they just used to fit with the atmopshere of the music.


Sunscreem vs. Push - "Please Save Me"




lyrics:

who will help me now
who will help love me, who will ever help me
in the forest, there's a monster
and it looks so, very much like me
won't someone, hear me singing
please save me, please rescue me
in the forest, there's a monster
and it looks so, very much like me
won't someone, hear me singing
please save me, please rescue me
who will love me now
who will ever love me
who will love me now
who will ever love me
who will love me now
who will ever love me, (who will ever love me..)


Sinead O'Connor- "Troy (The Phoenix From The Flames) (Push Edit)"




Lyrics:

I’ll remember it
And Dublin in a rainstorm
And sitting in the long grass in summer
Keeping warm
I’ll remember it
Every restless night
We were so young then
We thought that everything
We could possibly do were the right
Then we moved
Stolen from our very eyes
And I wondered where you went to
Tell me when did the light die?
You will rise
You'll return
The phoenix from the flame
You will learn

Oooh
There is no other Troy
For you to burn

There's no other troy
There's no other troy

BIG +1 on BT being a pretentious wanker.

I don't know about "meaningful", but my favourite lyrics are from The Streets - The Weak Become Heroes (Ashey Beedle's Love Bug Vocal Mix).

Normally I can't stand that cockney singing, but for this song, it tells a great story of club land and raves, and getting on the gear for the first time. The actual music itself is brilliant too.

PQM "You Are Sleeping" has some of the most awesome lyrics I've heard used in a dance track up to this day.

You pick up this working girl who's hooked on smack, who hustles and scores, that's all I do she says, she says 10 bucks for head, 15 for half and half, she says, 3 hits a day at 35 per. You say thats 7 tricks a day at least but she says, sometimes I get lucky, once this guy gives me a bill and a half just to eat me, only time I ever came. You figure you can save her, you sell your color TV that keeps her off the streets a whole day, you hawk your typewrighter for one jolt, then your shotgun, your watch, a week later you say listen I'm a little short, but she says no scratch, no snatch. You say look, it is better to give, but she says, be gone - creep. One night they spot you on the street in your skivvies, tryin to sell your shoes. You tell them who you are but they nail you, then she happens by and she says, Christ you look fucked, she says, hang tough. But you don't say anything.

You just think what a bum wrap for a nice sensitive guy like me.

Oh yeah i remember that, haha great indeed. But this was more of a monologue rather then singing. Still very good indeed.

My thoughts exactly.
+ Massive Attack, Portishead, etc. Love the trip hop lyrics in general.


And if Bjork falls into your conception of EDM she deserves to be named too.

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J Faithless are easily the winners in this category in my experience. Possibly the only electronic genre that actually puts a lot of thought into the sung lyrics is trip-hop.

Massive Attack. Amen.
