No Picture Ty Average	#4 by Ty Webster at Sep 28, 1979 at 8:50 PM EST
	Spyder... this song isn't about suicide, lol. People don't try to commit suicide by slitting their rists either. That's a form of release... Cutting yourself gets your mind off the pain in your head, and focusing on the pain you just inflicted on yourself... And no, I've never slit my wrists, or attempted suicide. I think this song is more about feeling that you're just one person in the world trying to change things... But everything around you is just so much bigger, and it's hard to get your voice heard when there is so many people to tell, and that when you can't change a person, you feel like you've failed =/

	This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl’s every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style. This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they’re at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don’t end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you. This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn’t worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you’d ever orchestrated in GTA3 to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor. This is also for that time she didn’t have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing “serious” between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: “oh, but we’re just friends!” And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because you’re nice like that. The nice guys don’t often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don’t seem to get laid as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can’t. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches. Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as “oh, he’s too nice to date” or “he would be a good boyfriend but he’s not for me” or “he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn’t possibly ask him out!” or the most frustrating of all: “no, it would ruin our friendship.” Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can’t figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (I’m going to sleep with this complete ass now!). But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn’t last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single. So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys. You know who you are, and I know you’re sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile. For all the crazy, inane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming. Repost this if you're a nice guy Girls Repost if you're lookin for this/or appreciate these guys

No Picture Ken Average	#12 by Ken Bennett at Mar 15, 1996 at 7:18 PM EST
	Seems like some pathetic emo lyrics to me. People that are really suicidal do it right the first time. I'm sick of hearing about people that try to kill themselves by slitting their wrists. Slit it by length, not by width. If you are "crying for help" Just go to a psychiatrist instead of doing it for scars to scare sane people.

No Picture Ryan Wanna Be	#13 by Ryan Beatty at Sep 7, 1997 at 8:24 PM EST
	Okay people, I have a big question. How in the hell does this song get to #1 on the top 100 lyrics with over 7,500 views? I've never even heard of this band. So I am not dissing them, but I just think its a little odd that it is #1.

No Picture Dear You, Tonig Average	#14 by Dear You, Tonight Lets Get Ahead Of Ourselves at Mar 22, 2000 at 12:11 AM EST
	YO S.A.! .... WHAT THE HELL IS A TACO METER?!

	This is my favorite song! It's about how your mom puts out for anyone with $1.

No Picture Bass Chicks are Average	#16 by Bass Chicks are HOTTTT at Sep 26, 2006 at 3:32 PM EST
	I hate it when people just say "i love this song blah blah blah" but the meaning is pretty evident. BTW this song is awesome
