Lyric that hurts the most

[meanestgreenmeme]

Was a tiktok trend but thought it would be interesting to ask here.
What song line do you rewind again so you can hurt and feel it deeper? Ha.
We could even do this for each album. Im pissed again which is why I am posting, as per.

I’ll go first. TUVL
I raised hope then it died so I ran and I lied

I can only imagine

[Son of Stopped]

"I want to walk in the snow and not leave a footprint"
That was a big fucking hell! moment.
And it might be the melody but "And the Bethlehem radio is crystal clear and beautiful" just... I can't explain it. It just touches me.
"Radio nostalgia is radio death". Well who can't smile at that?
Oh HURT? Oh right.
"Pointless jobs just lead to pointless lives". Well no WONDER Sean was having Customer Service trouble getting a new fridge freezer! Mess with the call centers at your peril, lad!

[Jack]

"The world is full of refugees, they're just like you and just like me"
"But you'd love a chance to eat their food, even though it has been chewed"
"Brain dead motherfuckers, brain dead motherfuckers...."
"Na na na! Na na na!"

Cry into my drink, I disappear
Eyes for teeth grating over me
Bring down the shadows of my mind
Sleep and breathe under our sheets
Inhale the anxiety in-between, in-between, in-between, in-between

Good calls

Just an amulance at the bottom of a cliff

Weaklings, this is where the real pain is:
Like The Godfather III
I never can escape

Very good!

[Bartek Wyre]

Oh, it has to be "It's easier to make love to a stranger than to ask a friend to call" for me! How poignant...

[Glyn]

I could have placed us in exile,
I could have written all your lines,
I could have shown you how to cry

This is the answer. The only moment in any Manics song that we are truly let in.

I'm not on TikTok. But "Hurt" as in move or cringe?
I've gone for move.

[Mr Richey]

“And I wish I had been born a girl
Instead of what I am,
Yes, I wish I had been born a girl
And not this mess of a man.”

I still find this lyric in particular to be deeply painful for reasons that I can’t really explain. Definitely one where I have to grit my teeth, the lip wobbles and I have to try to hold the tears back. Literally every time I listen to it.
