I voted for the OD lyric because it has a resonance far beyond the song itself :wink:

I voted for: "Speeding, into the horizon. Dreaming of a siren..", as I think that these lyrics mean more than people would think. I asked my friend out of curiosity what he thought of the song "The Wreckage", and what he thought it was about. He carelessly replied, "A car crash". In my opinion, this is too obvious for Vanessa, and when I listened to the song over a few times, I think that "The Wreckage" was about suicide. If you care to ask me why, I'll tell you :).

I also think that, surprisingly (everyone has got this), "White Houses" is about when Vanessa lost her virginity. However, if someone could prove me wrong I'd be more than happy to hear your opinions.

Wow, that was a tough one...I wanted to vote for 3!!  The Ordinary Day, White Houses, and Wanted lyrics are all close to tied for me.  I ended up choosing "As you float the flimsy surface, you should know what lies beneath it" 'cause I think it's not only meaningful, but also very poetic.  But "What I gave is yours to keep" is also quite special to me...and Ordinary Day was the reason I started writing my own music--it's THAT inspirational.  So yeah.  Vanessa's a genius!  And a wonderful lyricist.   :)

Of those, I had to pick "She's been wishing on the stars that shine so bright for answers to questions that will haunt her tonight"

But there's tons of amazing quotes.... the new songs, especially, have some beautiful lyrics.

I voted for the WH quote, but I have so many that I love, they aren't on the list, though.
"And now the air is getting heavy and boys with guns are getting ready."
"All the constellations shine down on you and me."
"And you say we're too young but maybe you're too old to remember."
And pretty much all of White Houses and The Wreckage.

Mine would have to be either

"Boy you swallow truth like honey"

or

"And you say we're too young, but maybe you're too old to remember."
