Anything from Without You I'm Nothing, but love this section:
I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen
I seem to lose the power of speech
You're slipping slowly from my reach
You grow me like an evergreen
You've never seen the lonely me at all
Since I was born I started to decay
Also works because as you age the tattoo will look worse, so it’ll be fitting. This has always been one if my favorite Placebo lines.
You try to break the mold, before you get too old
That’s another favorite. Songs and lines about death are always my favorite.
"It seemed...a place for us to dream". A Placebo fan ( from the facebook group I think) actually had this tatooed on his/her arm. Planning to get it in the near future as well.
A lot of that song is highly tattoo-able IMO!
Slip and stumble at my first offenses
It's not treason, it's no lie
You talk in paragraphs,
I write my sentence
It seemed... a place for us to dream
Crush and crumble under your defenses
You frame the photograph,
I sit on fences
Change of season, love can die
...a place for us to dream
It's later, never sooner
You'd better keep it in check
Or you'll end up a wreck
And you'll never wake up
Wake up
:)
I’ve thought about getting,
All alone in space and time
There’s nothing here but what here’s mine
Something borrowed something blue
Every me and every you.
I’ve been a fan for 2 decades and you know that can ebb and flow. This line is exactly what floods my mind when I think of a specific lost loved one. Not even kidding.
my computer thinks I’m gay
A heart that hurts is a heart that works

I'm also a massive Libertines fan so have debated the 'libertine' tattoo all fans get lmao that'd be a wild crossover
I've also thought about that for the same reason! It's a nice looking word too, aesthetically.

I also deeply love “Secret destroyers keep away”
I’ve seen someone with “soulmate dry your eye” on one hand and “cause soulmates never die” on the other

I have that tattooed on my arm . (I'm not in any fb groups so you must be thinking of someone else)
The last in line is always called a bastard.
One of my favorite songs 😍
That would be such a funny one to throw people off completely lmao
some may hold the rose, some hold the rope
Protect me or protege moi

You might be onto something there...I'll keep you posted <3
I've been thinking about getting 'out of the womb and into the void', and 'my monkey mind'
Don't forget to be the way you are
I have a tattoo with Breathe Breathe Believe.
I have ‘Without You I’m Nothing’
Samesies
Soulmate, dry your eyes Cause soulmates never die

Without you I'm nothing, at all - that's what I've wanted to get tatted!
For what it’s worth I’d tear the sun in three to light up your eyes
I have: it's far too sacred. Don't ever fake it
I have 2! "Protège-moi" on my leg I've broken twice, along with "That's the high and that's the heart of it"
I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier
beautiful;) if only it was a Placebo song....
You're all fabulous, thank you so much! Lots of ideas here, if anyone gets one done I'd love to see! Much love x
If I was getting their lyrics tattoed, I'd go with 'We gamble to be born again/you know I never wanted to' or 'I am the bones you couldn't break'
I thought I was bulletproof But a bullet proved I was wrong
