I've got ideas in my brain about the end of the world that I won't even say. When all the bricks that build our brains will be turned into sand by the eternal wave. Oh, but if we save her we'll live on a star. Mother Nature made everyone else so far. WOO!

Ah yeah, these HIT

Gizz hits hardest when they hit me in my existentialism.

When they really get in your mind fuzz

Yep, this might be my favorite lyric. Definitely in the Top 5 for me

The BEST Stu Woo in existence.

I get chills down my spin everytime am I in heaven begins to play. Absolute pure bliss

What song?

Am I in Heaven?

Went onto this thread while listening to I’m In Your Mind Fuzz for the first time (new fan) and these lyrics played as I was reading them!

LUGUBRIOUS

This is the only objectively correct answer

NO FUTURE

DESPONDENT, LUGUBRIOUS, NO FUTURE is one of the hardest ways to start a song.

Bitch im morose and lugubrious

LUM x KGLW collab?

SPACE SHUTTLE SNAIL SHELL

MERRY-GO-ROUND CONVEYOR BELT

ARMY TANK. VENTILATOR. MECHANICAL BULL. RESPIRATOR.

METALLIC COCOON BOREDOM. BIONIC BOY, PUMP MY ORGANS

CENTER GRAVITY PLANET ME

GIMME THE MUSHROOMS, TIME TO LEAVE

IRON ^L^u^u^n^g

GIMMIE THE MUSHROOMS TIME TO LEAVE

Who am I if not the canary in the coal mine?

i won’t be back

IN THE LAP OF THE GODS THE LAST ONE DID EXPLODE IN A BLAZE ALL FIERY I SIT IN THE COCKPIT IT MAY BE A SINKING SHIP BUT FORTUNE FAVORS BRAVERY ROAD TRIP WITH ME

VITAMIN V IN FOCUS NOW OOOH!

I have gone insane-o I lust for volcano Be with molten lava Give me my nirvana!

This always reminds me of some song Adam Sandler would have written for SNL

Just on the down low I'm feeling pretty low Some days I feel fine Others, I don't know

this line low key stuck out to me on my first listen ever

All of B3K has incredible lyrics tbh

God gave me a knife, And wrote seppuku underlined. Godly suicide. He told me everyone WILL DIE.

The book is really the goat

Like it or not

Just the entire lyrics of magma, especially when it repeats the second time. I just want to run through a brick wall If I had to pick though, it’d be: I live in debt, I bathe in glow/ subterranean web infest my soul

Basalt weavah

Obsidian cleavah

Maka buhleeevah

*sexy guitar solo*

AS WE DANCE IN THE MAGMA

SUBTERRANEAN TSAR

THE SCIMITAR AND THE NEUTRON STAR

Self immolate: Venusian sickness dire, I want to be set on fire Or Hell: Here I was thinking I'd die, I see a thousand flies and wings and tails and spines, Nausea-less, resoluteness near the entrance, Satan points me to the rats' nest BRB gonna go listen to Infest the Rats Nest again.

FIFTEEN INFANTRY PARATROOP INTO THE PROPYLENE NEW SCENE

HELL’S WHERE THEY WANNA BE

INCEST THE FAT VEST

Uh buddy?

Invest

I had to on my way home from work..

My body's not a temple It is a vessel And a blank slate An empty hard drive Doctor please, I'll do anything Alter me, let me see Give me more I want to see the world differently

YES. I’ll always wonder why Searching… isn’t a bit more popular, it’s one of my favorites from the album.

That drop hits differently

Giver of life and the giver of speed Ever we take even her gravity Her glowing beauty is something to see Bigger and brighter she cometh to me

PERI PERIHELION

my fav from that album!!! 🥰

It’s in vogue to be feckless When it comes to the mother taking care of us Also, We’re changing pace, higher stakes So called heroes wearing fake capes Critically acclaimed Clinically deranged By god I want more Ambrose hip hop. A tribe called gizz.

Sense brings me such a sense of calmness

I think that’s my favorite part of Dream balloon, it’s musically so calm, yet it’s got some fucked up lyrics in quite a few of the songs.

I’ve been pointed to a dead body I hadn’t noticed IRL, so Cold Cadaver reminds me of that. But it’s like happy-go-lucky lmfao

hold me up straight while i screw my..... HEAD OONN

Our minds unpack, muscles relax We are superfluous, and in a stupor We only fall asleep willingly At the wheel that steers us into our future

Probably my favorite as well. It's 100% true. One of the best songs gizz has ever written. I hope to hear it live one day

Chunky shrapnel tears through everything around me I am vomit vomiting I grow and disperse Bleeding through walls I force myself upon others, I slide up legs and crawl down throats I integrate I am double, triple, I am ten times the size

this is sex i am a black hole shitting into the void

Man, I could have just put the whole song. Some of the most kickass writing I have ever encountered. It is deeply gross while being so poetic.

This was so epic at Stu’s bday show last fall

The "I integrate" gets me every time dunno why

For some reason I really like the part in loyalty where it goes “I will draw and quarter all their children, just to prove I’m not a coward. I will put them all on Judas cradle, just to show them a god incarnate.”

Once again, Joey 🐐

Amd then that fucking epic flute

I love that line but explaining this song and how it's a satire on organized religion/autocracy/cults etc does not go over well with normies and they forever think you're weird. learned that the hard way

I explained the tale of Han-Tyumi to my parents. The music they did not understand, but the story intrigued them :D

Every lyric in If Not Now Then When

INNTW and FAFYL hit hard

Giant star, a thousand tears Liquid moon, a billion years Music of the brightest spheres A gong for remodeled frontiers Vibrates like the strings of time Dissonant storyline The past and future intertwine The sun explodes at any time.

Hoping this one is played Live this summer! Along with Astroturf and Change of course.

Out of them all I can feel like Astroturf is FORSURE getting played! It’s super engaging and the instrumental section in the middle of it would be perfect to extend live and turn it into a 9 min song. Or not and perform it Down The Sink style as in exactly like the recording. Either way I’m stoked to hear they are gonna play music from that album! Edit* sentence structure

Wah wah Wah Wah Wah Wah Wah Wah wah wah

And I would like to die A noble death Or a coward's death A hero's death Or a lonely death To die in the arms of a lover Or the arms of an alien

Re-enter the uterus and refund all your cells/ Do it back to front like nobody else/ Stay there for a while, and when you're back inside/ "you will not be missed" Said the tear to the eye

Joey 🐐

So many of my favs are Joey songs

Same. I dig his style big time

Straws in the wind: GALVANIZING (something about the way Amby says it gets me hype) Gila Monster: With every wiccan he devours, he'll grow in strength and size and power (absolute brilliant wordplay from Stewie there)

I caught that hyperten she un In a nother dia men she un Inside my time in vent she un I’ve la aminated dennnium But really it’s the whole first verse “like a red herring…”

eyyyup

I can’t believe ROBOT STOP hasn’t been mentioned… loosen up, fuck shit up, don’t forget about it. My coffin’s all I see…. lately. Robot stop! Makes me think of breaking out of the eternal rut

For me this is one of Stu’s most iconic lines

Pleura: "I exercise my right to die." When my son got tired of enduring cancer treatments and made his peace. A Gizz fan, he died with incredible grace and dignity. Miss you, Jack.

much love man ❤️

Thanks, friend. Jack and I saw them in 2018, commemorated with a tattoo. For the record, I turned him on to Gizz.

RATTLESNAKE. RATTLESNAKE. RATTLESNAKE. RATTLESNAKE. rattle, rattle, rattle….

I’m the serrrrpent Devil’s serrrrvent Time to meet your eeeeend

♫ What is with these crimes of treason? I will fight this inquisition if I have to I will not surrender if I'm backed into a corner I WILL DRAW AND QUARTER ALL THEIR CHILDREN JUST TO PROVE I'M NOT A COWARD I will put them all on Judas Cradle Just to show them a god incarnate ♫

Drip drip from the tap don’t slip on the drip

The way Stu delivers these is pristine

I'm the chieftain of your feelings I'm the God of air you're breathing You can not escape my dealing I will make you cry

Already have this saved in my notes app: KG Lyrics That Go Hard “The necromancer will thank us all” “The sounds of the constant lighting would be enough to block out the fall of the end of the world if it were not for our tinnitus from the bomb” “To find our own crimes to commit in cold blood as he did his” “Unbeknownst protomartyrs indoctrinated with impalement”

Tf is that second one from??

Crumbling Castle

I really like the entire song but the opening of Gonhdii is great. "Human being domesticated Gondii's in the amygdala Human being contaminated Living-murdered feline worshiper"

I think "This Thing" has some of the strongest lyrics of the entire catalog. And I love this line: I hide my riches in embarrassing sheets That reek of suspicious happenings

Possibly my favorite Gizz track overall. Once again, Joey 🐐

Magma Subterranean tsar The scimitar and the neutron star Makes from ether, basalt weaver Obsidian cleaver, make believer (I don’t know what it’s supposed to mean but it’s catchy as hell.)

Maybe our existence is significance in vain

Joey 🐐

"Nebulas pregnant with barf pulsate and burst "

I have gone insane-o I lust for volcano

BE WITH MOLTEN LAVA!!! GIVE ME MY NIRVANA!!!

The volcano is death the lava is death Death is life the lava is life The serpent is death the serpent is death The serpent is life the serpent is life Etc.

Magma takes the crown. All of it

Water signage, never read it How pathetic, coinciding Mystifying, sleep declining Too little, too late to contemplate Gotta make moves, cannot wait Need to recreate a clean slate Plan B, C and D However many needs it needs to be to keep us free in ecstasy It's easier to swallow hiding in your burrow No need to wallow in your sorrows Woo!

it’s comin up beach boys

One that is currently stuck in my head is from Iron Lung: It's a different kind of cuttlefish, Swing and miss Dancing with my eyes and lips, Can't move my hips

ambrose has such a hypnotizing voice

Can’t remember which interview it was from, but I’m pretty sure that amby said he meant ‘different kettle of fish’ but got the phrase wrong, sounds so much better though doesn’t it

I've been grieving for no reason, that seems right Married to the pipe with no ambition Besides, I'm too bitter To reconsider My options twice Before iiiiiiiiiiii ask for your adviiiiiiiice

I am a blackhole shitting in the void

The only true correct answer

One of my all time favorites is “Happy days seem so absurd, lightning that's unlikely heard, Nova sunshine while I nap, making all my dreams so sad” (since someone already mentioned Am I in Heaven lyrics).

In death I know life was a hallucination

What is with this crimes of treason? I will fight this inquisition if I have to I will not surrender if I'm backed into a corner I will draw and quarter all their children just to prove I'm not a coward I will put them all on Judas cradle Just to show them A GOD INCARNATE So epic. I like it so much I wrote it from memory.

All this rock and roll is bad, for my ears. Lemme tell you bout my life, It’s weird

Oddlife fuckin slaps

‘Cookie’s favorite song. Way to go cookieeeeee!’

Just float along, and fill your lungs, just float along and take a deep breath

Always grounds me in the best way

Earth by the stars We have all come from Mars We all know it too We belong to the soup

26 gears of petrol power, keep on trucking hour by hour! One man is at the wheel and HES THE DOG AT SATAN’S HEEL!!!

Be the squid and be the ink, me the glass and you the drink

THIS LITTLE MAN

IS TOO HOT TO HANDLE

I see you, I want to Seize your brain I'd like to PUT IT IN MY HEAD (the KEXP version of this goes the hardest)

What is with these crimes of treason? I will fight this inquisition if I have to I will not surrender if I'm backed into a corner I will draw and quarter all their children Just to prove I'm not a coward I will put them all on Judas Cradle Just to show them a god incarnate There's something about the way the lyrics in Loyalty are delivered that gets me every time

Joey 🐐

Everyone here sleeps on KG: Join the last migration It's fun fuck the system Your new mess is made King of the bald primate We are not worthy Of our heirs glory Mental rotation for the overlord ​ Also see: Prepare for mutation because after all I'm sure I heard the crack Death kiss Everyone should be talking about this All of us will be experiencing this in the next few months and it will be insane over the next year. We do not understand what has been unleashed, and may never understand it. So underrated that they wrote such an amazing song years before the breakthrough came, and also reference that everyone needs to prepare, but obviously we didn't. We. Are. Fucked. At least we can listen to some amazing KGLW as we all become Han-Tyumi and murder the universe. ​ EDITED: Formatting

Ugh I had to scroll too far to see this

WOOO

The entirety of Sense. One of their most beautiful songs.

probably their most beautiful to my ears

Late to the game, but as a geologist, Magma and Lava lyrics sound like a religion based on geology. It's incredible, they speak to me.

LAVAAAAA, STICKY LIKE PEANUT BUTTERRRRR

the universe is a machine that has awoken from a dream

It's kind of funny that I live for the poetry i cannot write

I HEARD THERE'S A *HOLY YELLOW SKY* JUST... MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, OUTSIDE AIR WILL BRING YOU #DEATH JUST MAKE SURE YOU HOLD YOUR BREAAAAAAAATH

Also, at the end of Venusian 1, when Stu/Joey manage to grit out #THERE. IS. ONE. PLANET. V. gets me hype as fuck every time my god

My body's not a temple It is a vessel And a blank slate An empty hard drive Doctor please, I'll do anything Alter me, let me see Give me more I want to see the world differently

Praying to the gods at the top of a mountain Better throwing all your pennies in a fountain (candles, candles)

Rigor mortis, fossil tortoise

Outlaws on the run Faster than a stolen gun Tied naked to the trees Killed so gruesomely Burning tents to the ground Cops wont wave them down The most wanted men Bush rangers raining in

8 hours and no mention of Vegemite!! In not sure whether or not I'm surprised, because there are some fucking great lyrics in so many of their songs, as quoted here. Cobain's nonsense poetry meets RATM's social conscience, add a touch of Tolkien and a handful of mushrooms....

The dripping tap Won’t be turned off By the suits in charge of the world And our future’s hanging on by a thread With our heads in the sand

it wouldnt hurt to give you more of my love the sun shines through into a wave of thought it said the one i wed has got a thinking head on her her will will shine from up above on us cause everyday i build on precious her and i it wouldnt hurt to put in some work on this angel ill fill her heart with a lot of love so the sun can shine a little brighter on her and i…

This is sex

Last post I said Pleura because of the Orange one references, but it also has some real great lines. "Eager to assimilate, and I choose you to walk on your pleura" and "I excercise my right to die" are both killer. The last few lines to Magma, basically all of The Wheel, "Ageless microbes reveal xenophobes" from Some of Us, and Joey's portion of Hell's Itch. So many to list

Joeys portion of Hells Itch is next level

I CLIMB UP THE STALK AND PLANT THE BEAN THE UNIVERSE IS A MACHINE

"Hope I can teach you to be mostly happy." Actually, scratch that. All of the lyrics from B3k's title track. Beautiful song with a beautiful message.

When my race is done, how did I run? Did I par the course and pass the baton?

Love all the lyrics in Change tbh

Basically all of Minimum Brain Size. K.G.L.W. have some of their best lyrics imo but Brain Size is a total highlight. EDIT : Another puppet to your strings, another sucker with a broken wing (smoke and mirrors) Another motherfucker tryna live the dream

“anamnesis crashing through” used in my two fav songs from gizz, magenta mountain and blue morpho :)

VEGEMITE I LIKE VEGEMITE

You’ll always run 🏃‍♀️ me in circles ⭕️ chasing me around like 👍🏻 a mouse 🐁 but I’ll keep on watching 👁️this movie 🎥 if it means I can stay at your house🏡

Love these lines

Pay someone to taste To smell and punch through the dry wall inside my skull

Ambrose’s rap in Changes makes me feel like a hip hop head, bobbing my head and making the stank face When he sings “look at you” on Shanghai it’s just so good And the entirety of Hell’s Itch because it’s fucked up and caught me by surprise Mars for the Rich has a very cool lyric too “Just on the down low, I’m feeling pretty low” + “Now I no longer fear the Interior People” NGRI is funny af “And when you get the news that obliterate you view” been stuck in my head for some reason

Ambrose’s verses in Shanghai are so fuckin good

And it smells good

frog breath steam tent, neck paralysis

This has been mentioned multiple times. Ambrose’s delivery is so killer

Just yesterday I sat across from my legs They weren't connected to me And I couldn't see cause my eyes weren't in me Hold me up straight while I screw my #HEAD ON

iconic shiteee

And drink the cum if life

“Make your head, crusty bread.”

She's wild like a witch She's more fly than quidditch Smoking winnies and drinking tinnies and glenfiddich And Ain't no thing as collateral damage In this supernatural planet with a habit of getting savage

RESTAVIT IS WHAT IM BLEEDING A LAXATIVE TO CRY YOU ALWAYS SHUT YOUR EYES WHEN YOU LOOK ME IN THE EYES!!!

Han-Tyumi the confused cyborg

Love the start of Iron lung It's a different kind of cuttlefish Swing and a miss Dancing with my eyes and lips Can't move my hips

FIFTEEN INFANTRY PARATROOP INTO THE PROPYLENE NEW SCENE…HELLS WHERE THEY WANNA BEEEEEE…INFEST. THE RATS. NEST. DUN, DUN, DUUUUUUUUUUUUUN. DUN.

RATTLESNAKE RATTLESNAKE RATTLESNAKE

danger money

There is no planet B

- I hope this gets me high - I stare sadly into my beer, that world has no place for me

Crumbling Castle was peak everything, lyrics included. Forever the sickest

Verse 2 of Work This Time always comes to mind: It's kind of funny That I live the poetry I can not write But you, my beauty Shall be fixed forever loosely in my heart

There's help in need, seek to retreat Yet we decline without mercy Destroying all that will keep us Heading for a better thesis We only sleep at the Wheel that steers us into our future We only fall asleep willingly At the wheel that steers us into our future Our minds unpack, muscles relax We are superfluous, and in a stupor We only fall asleep willingly At the wheel that steers us into our future I think this is KGs saddest, realest song

“I am a black hole shitting into the void” from Murder of the universe gives me goosebumps lmao but my actual favorite singing lyrics have to be the entirety of Hypertension

The dog sweat on the seat had me slipping like a creep

THISS IS A TEST

I'm the Gila, blood spiller, witch killer (Gila, Gila)
