Songs You Relate To

[Loveneverfails]

Keep listening to 'The Feel Again(Stay)' by Blue October, today. I guess I feel 'emo'. It fits.

..I feel the air around you, it's kinda closing in​

Do you feel it fall or do you feel at all? I can.​

​

I see the world keep moving as I stumble​

They seem to move much faster than me​

And while I sit in my four cornered room, dividing hearts for our little girl​

While I can't be anything but who I am ..​

Darling, I love you, and I always will.
I am so proud you chose me.:inlove:

Seeing your dedications of love always brings a smile to my face Seeking. What you two share is so beautiful.

 

[Loveneverfails]

I guess I'm on a Blue October kick. Their songs always speak to me I think because Justin(lead singer and writer) knows what it's like to feel unwell in your own head as he suffers from mental illness as well as having conquered addiction. He knows what it means to be your own worst enemy. Not only are the lyrics moving but the melodies always touch something for me.

Picking Up Pieces by Blue October

'I really need to talk with you
I keep stepping on the vein that keeps my lifeline flowing through
I wanna be your perfect stick of glue
But I don't feel perfect at all
Sad and insecure, flawed
Yea, I find it hard to hold conversations
I get sweaty sick and I wanna walk away
No, it's not you, it's strictly me in this situation
But I'm wondering will it ever go away
Just go away, still

Chorus:
Sometimes I feel like weeping
Awake and when I'm sleeping
Perfecting how to put a game face on
And this puzzle I've been keeping
Has been in hiding, creeping
Out the closet door
Spilling out onto the floor
How long will I be picking up the pieces?
How long will I be picking up my heart?

Listen, I'll be as honest as I feel
I feel like I'm getting more paranoid
Cuz I'm hearing things and they never turn out real
It feels like my heart is made of pure steel
It just feels so heavy all the time
I'm scared of death, I'm scared of living
Sh**, I gave up on the past cuz it's unforgiving
I misplaced my trust
I watch my word begin to rust
I'm that balloon about to bust
I need a place for reliving, still

(Chorus)

How long, in another space and time
Keep picking up pieces in the corner of my mind
How long, did I know so hard to find
Keep picking up pieces in the corner of my mind
Whoa Whoa
But I still walk on..'

((((Evanescence)))

"Good Enough"
Under your spell again.
I can't say no to you.
Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand.
I can't say no to you.

Shouldn't let you torture me so sweetly.
Now I can't let go of this dream.
I can't breathe but I feel...

Good enough,
I feel good enough for you.

Drink up sweet decadence.
I can't say no to you,
And I've completely lost myself, and I don't mind.
I can't say no to you.

Shouldn't let you conquer me completely.
Now I can't let go of this dream.
Can't believe that I feel...

Good enough,
I feel good enough.
It's been such a long time coming, but I feel good.

And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall.
Pour real life down on me.
'Cause I can't hold on to anything this good enough.
Am I good enough for you to love me too?

So take care what you ask of me,
'cause I can't say no.

Billy Joel
Innocent Man

Some people stay far away from the door
If there's a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outside
And hope that it just passes by

Some people live with the fear of a touch
And the anger of having been a fool
They will not listen to anyone
So nobody tells them a lie

I know you're only protecting yourself
I know you're thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt you
But I'm not above
Making up for the love
You've been denying you could ever feel
I'm not above doing anything
To restore your faith if I can
Some people see through the eyes of the old
Before they ever get a look at the young
I'm only willing to hear you cry
Because I am an innocent man

Some people say they will never believe
Another promise they hear in the dark
Because they only remember too well
They heard somebody tell them before

Some people sleep all alone every night
Instead of taking a lover to bed
Some people find that it's easier to hate
Than to wait anymore

I know you don't want to hear what I say
I know you're gonna keep turning away
But I've been there and if I can survive
I can keep you alive
I'm not above going through it again
I'm not above being cool for a while
If you're cruel to me I'll understand

Some people run from a possible fight
Some people figure they can never win
And although this is a fight I can lose
The accused is an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
An innocent man

You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight
That's your decision
But I'm not below
Anybody I know
If there's a chance of resurrecting a love
I'm not above going back to the start
To find out where the heartache began

Some people hope for a miracle cure
Some people just accept the world as it is
But I'm not willing to lay down and die
Because I am an innocent man

Gary Go
Refuse to Lose

"I took my eye off the ball
I took my foot off the break
Things didn't go the way I planned
I want to not want it all
I want to give what I take
It's not how you leap, it's how you land
It's how you land

If it takes one to know one, then it takes two to know me
There's too much comfort in consistancy
I could be more than I am, but I can not be more than me
I want to tune in to another frequency

In time I'll be anodyne: free from pain, free from pain
If you look hard I think you'll find we're the same, we're the same
With this in mind I am kind to almost everyone that I meet
We're all fighting our own battle and noone likes defeat
Noone likes defeat"

Matt Nathanson
Then I'll Be Smiling

Trailed by a mess
Of masking tape construction paper
And the best of intentions
He tried to patch up every hole as he went
Back and forth and back again
And his friends half full of half concerns
Embarrassed looks and tired words
They burrowed deeper into the ignorant
Little lives they preferred
And he envied their distance
Their lack of concern
He cursed himself
And his instinct to nurse
Every idea to health
And all of the falls that he'd spent
Trying to coax his name from the mouths
Of success
They litter me with small awareness'
Then they ask if I'm good enough
They litter me with small awareness'
Just to wake me up
Why do the fools wake me up?

Blue October
Hate Me

I have to block out thoughts of you
So I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach
Leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape
To remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head
That make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride
A nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you
Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me
Just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me
it is I that wanted this

Cold
Stupid Girl

I'm a loner,
I'm a loser,
I'm a winner,
In my mind.

I'm a bad one,
I'm a good one,
I'm a sick one,
With a smile.

I can't take this,
Born to break this.

She's going away,
What's wrong with my life today?
Stupid girl, Stupid girl

Marina and The Diamonds
Oh No!
Don't do love, don't do friends
I'm only after success
Don't need a relationship
I'll never soften my grip

One track mind, one track heart
If I fail, I'll fall apart
Maybe it is all a test
Cause I feel like I'm the worst
So I always act like I'm the best

Fiona Apple

Sleep to Dream
"Don't make it a big deal, don't be so sensitive
We're not playing a game anymore
You don't have to be so defensive
Don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain
Don't even show me your face, ''cause it's a crying shame
Just go back to the rock from under which you came
Take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claim -
And don't forget the blame "

Kate Havnevik
Not Fair
He got away with thousands of dollars
He got away from the state police
He got away with emotional murder
He slipped away with the summer breeze
He got away with the ultimate shakedown
He ran away from the scene of the crime
He got away from everyone in his way
Gone, and not a trace left behind

How'd you pull it off?
How'd you get away with it?
I never stood a chance
Oh you left me to die

It's not fair
To pull me down
It's not fair
To make me run around
No it's not fait
To not explain
It's not fair
To make me ask you why
To leave a mess behind
To make me ask you why

I think everyone should listen to "wonderful" by gary go, though. I know it doesn't necessarily fit in with the other posts and the theme of the thread, but I'd like to think I could eventually be that person in that song. It's a good pick-me-up.

I think we can all relate to this video

"Remind Me who I am" by Jason Gray

Verse 1:
When I lose My way,
And I forget my name,
Remind me who I am.
In the mirror all I see,
Is who I don't wanna be,
Remind me who I am.
In the lonliest places,
When I can't remember what grace is.

Chorus:
Tell me once again who I am to you.
Who I am to you.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to you.
That I belong to you.
To you.

Verse 2:
When my heart is like a stone,
And I'm running far from home,
Remind me who I am.
When I can't recieve your love,
Afraid I'll never be enough,

Remind me who I am.
If I'm your beloved,
Can you help me believe it.

Chorus:
Tell me once again who I am to you.
Who I am to you, Woh.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to you.
That I belong to you.
To you.

Bridge:
I'm the one you love,
I'm the one you love,
That will be enough,
I'm the one you love.

Chorus:2x
Tell me once again who I am to you.
Who I am to you.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to you.
That I belong to you, Woh.
To you.3x

If I had to choose a song that I feel that I relate to it would have to be....

Vincent by Don McLean

Two lines that I especially like

"

For they could not love you​

​

But still your love was true "​

​

"​

But I could have told you, Vincent​

​

This world was never meant ​

For one as beautiful as you "​

This evening Peter Gabriel comes to mind:

Would you know my name,
When I see you in Heaven?
Would it feel the same,
When I see you in Heaven?
Would you hold hold my hand,
When I see you in Heaven?

RIP Tshepo... God bless you little one.
