Bands with positive lyrics.

[Levi79]

The tests came back negative, although I'm positive this is what you want

Beat me to it.

 

[Slayer89]

Stick To Your Guns!

This is what I was gonna say. Some Hatebreed too.

 

[dreamermind]

Freak Kitchen

 

[Mr. Big Noodles]

To me, "positive" and "prog spirit journey" are synonymous.

 

[BigBaldIan]

No mention of King's X yet, for shame!

 

[Murmel]

 

[troyguitar]

Basically every power metal band ever.

 

[Into Obsidian]

^ Yes (Depending on your interpretation) Death included positive/empowering lyrics. IMO.

 

[s_k_mullins]

I'd say Hatebreed have positive lyrics, in certain songs anyway... lyrics about overcoming and rising above obstacles...

Take "This is Now" for example:

Another memory and I'm asking myself
How can I let the past be the past.
Once and for all take a hold of the future
And not let it control what I aspire to have.
I see where my decisions have brought me
What's done is done and it's time to start again
Can't let it tear me in two waste me away
I gotta believe

Cause this is now
How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today.
This is now
If I control myself I control my destiny.

What I've seen and what I've been through has made me who I am
There was a time in my life where I had no desire to carry on
I couldn't see a place for me or a will to survive
I never thought to rely on myself or the beliefs that I have denied
But this is now

 

[Tomo009]

The majority of Behemoth's music. You have to obviously find the correct songs, but most are about powering through negative emotions/situations. A lot of their stuff is pretty uplifting.

 

[Into Obsidian]

Fates Warning '89-04

Leave the past behind

 

[Repner]

Gojira. Glad to see someone pointed out Lykathea Aflame as well

 

[TheFerryMan]

PLea has some uplifting lyrics every now and again




and now i have to second the freak kitchen post with this!


This is my antidepression song. No lie.

 

[Into Obsidian]

Obviously Rush in the later years, when the albums were not full concepts...ya know?

Subdivisions


..And I have to just throw in this because the song is so moving with the music/lyrics

 

[Rayan22]

Killswitch Engage are always a rlly good place to start. Try Eye of the Storm, Unbroken, My Curse, or even Reject Yourself.

 

[Rayan22]

Lyrics to "212" by Coat Of Arms with Videos and more on Coat Of Arms's "212"

This is also a really good one. I'm not doing it just to promote myself, but i wrote all the lyrics with the thought of making a song that uplifting, heavy, and melodic for when you need a reminder or pick me up.

Hope it helps

 

[Nile]

The Sound of Perseverance-Death
Hugely uplifting album.

 

[Osiris]

what about really uplifting music?

 

[pineappleman]

Meshuggah

 

[poopyalligator]

This is a pretty inspiring song for me.

"I know one day, all our scars will disappear. Like the stars at dawn and all of our pain will fade away when morning comes, and on that day when we look backwards we will see, that everything has change, and all of our trials will be but milestones on the way"

I really like the way that was said.
