I'll start! for me, it's "Does anyone know/where the love of God goes/When the waves turn the minutes to hours" from The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, by Gordon Lightfoot.

i think for me any discussion about rlly raw lyrics ultimately comes down to choosing a favorite billy woods line, 'cause he's just such a master at writing lyrics that make u feel like shit. so i think i'd have to go with the line "spliff like a pen, everything i wrote is in the wind / we didn't win, and i can't see doing it all over" from Root Farm (also one of my favorite closing lines to any album)

i'm kind of partial to the "when it all comes down to dust i will kill you if i must i will help you if i can/when it all comes down to dust i will help you if i must i will kill you if i can" from leonard cohen's story of isaac

YES.

Gordon Lightfoot was a godsend starting guitar because I always loved his music and also he was very averse to having too many different lines in a song so once you've nailed that A => Em => G => D sequence, boy howdy you are set for at least five minutes of Great Lakes tragedy.

There's so many to chose from, but I literally pulled my name from Nirvana's "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle" because of this line -

"She'll come back as fire to burn all the liars/
Leave a blanket of ash on the ground"

Idles is full of these but combined with the music video for 'Reigns' which is graphic in that it juxtaposes lyrics about class warfare with that of a nature documentary and people jeering as if they were watching a sporting event.

"How does it feel to have shanked the working classes into dust? /
How does it feel to have won the war that nobody wants? /
Huh? / Pull on my reigns"

Each line just resonates with this defiant force of Joe Talbot's voice, that lands the impact of how we're caught and ground by capitalism' machination. There is so many other songs by this band who's lines stay with me; but there's also this one song that's more personal 'Common Sense' by Viagra Boys.

"Why is it your apartment always looks like shit /
With lots of trash but you don't take care of none of it /
Why do you think it always ends up like this /
Like life's a joke and you're just taking the piss."

Which leads up to the line that hits me: "Or do you think there's someone else you can blame" It's just something that cuts through self-excuses I have, I can blame my parents, genetics, mental health, god, moments of my life, but any of that isn't going to improve my life in the here and now with what I can do in the moment.

"It is not love, if love is cold to touch"

VNV Nation - Gratitude (although the mixing on this song is pretty bad for hearing the lyrics... it was only after reading that first line after listening to the song that the words crushed me)
