Have you ever listened to a song and said “Hey! That one lyric would make a really good title for a story”? Well I certainly have!
I was thinking of this because one of my upcoming stories is going to have a song lyric as a title: I was thinking of calling it “All Good Devils Masquerade Under the Light,” which is a lyric from “Turn the Lights Off” by Tally Hall.

This thread serves mostly as a place of inspiration for other people, because there’s probably people out there who need title inspo (and also I just think having lyrics as titles is neat-o)

(By the way, it could just be the title of a song or an album name rather than a lyric)
That’s the thing with life: no one makes it out alive.

This is a pretty interesting concept. I can't remember any specific lyrics right now but I think I have a bunch of songs that could work pretty well as titles:
    If I Were You by Claud
    I Don't Love You Anymore by The Honeysticks & Ricky Montgomery
    She Wants Me (To Be Loved) by The Happy Fits
    queen of broken hearts by Blackbear
    My Girlfriend is a Witch by October Country
    don't worry, you will by lovelytheband
    I Kissed a Girl, and She Kissed Me by Kid Bloom
