Songs You Relate To

[Crl1983]

Garbage-As heaven is wide

Something that you did will destroy me
Something that you said will stay with me
Long after you're dead and gone

If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here

If holy is as holy does
This house will burn straight down to hell
Take it's conscience with it
As it falls

Take it back I dare you take it back
No you can't, you should have thought of that
What's inside a man
That goes so wrong
Choke on guilt that's far too good for you

 

[Kintsugi]

Crl, I was JUST ABOUT TO POST THIS. Since your last stanza was one that I wanted to post I will post the rest of what I would have liked to include (but could not due to lines of text limit).

Garbage
As Heaven Is Wide
"What's inside a man
That goes so wrong
Choke on guilt that's far too good for you
Say one word I'll laugh and bury you
Leave ya in the place where you left me"

The Dresden Dolls
Delilah
"In this same bar where you slammed down your hand
And said, 'Amanda, I'm in love'
No you're not.
You're just a sucker for the ones who use you
And it doesn't matter what I say or do
The stupid bastard's gonna have his way with you"

Pretty in Pink, covered
"All of her lovers all talk of her notes
And the flowers that they never sent
And isn't she easy? Isn't she pretty in pink
The one who insists he was first in the line
Is the last to remember her name
And he's walking around in this dress that she wore
She is gone, but the joke's the same"

Garbage has been one of my favorite bands ever since I bought their first cd when I was 14. I have yet to hear a song by Shirley Manson that I don't like.

Tech Nine- Dsyfunctional

I come around- but since I'm down it feels uncomfortable.
I try to hide it deep inside but I'm dysfunctional.
I never learned to hold it in- I get emotional.

Atmosphere- F... You Lucy

The sunshine is fake
How much time did i waste?
F you Lucy for leaving me
F you Lucy for not needin me
I wanna say f you
Because i still love you
No, I'm not OK
And I don't know what to do​

 

[Kintsugi]

Yeah yeah let's get some hip-hop in here. I'm breaking the rules a little here because the stanza breaks are blurry but I want to get across the comprehensive message of text groups.

Eminem
This goes out to all you here at the forum.

White America
"I'd never dreamed in a million years I'd see
So many motherf*cking people who feel like me
Who share the same views and the same exact beliefs
It's like a f*cking army marching in back of me
So many lives I've touched, so much anger aimed
In no particular direction, just sprays and sprays"

Cleanin' Out My Closet
"How dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get"

"I maybe made some mistakes
But I'm only human
But I'm man enough to face 'em today"

Sing for the Moment
"These ideas are nightmares to white parents
Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earring
Like whatever they say has no bearing, it's so scary
In a house that allows no swearing to see him
Walking around with his headphones blaring
Alone in his own zone cold and he don't care
He's a problem child"

 

[hazen]

The Black Keys
Sinister Kid
"I got a tortured mind
And my blade is sharp
A bad combination
In the dark"
"...and that's me
that's me
the boy with the broken halo
that's me that's me
the devil won't let me be"

 

[Kintsugi]

Tool
Jambi
"The devil and his had me down
In love with the dark side I'd found
Dabbling all the way down
Up to my neck soon to drown"

The Pot
"Rob the grave to snow the cradle
And burn the evidence down
Soapbox house of cards and glass so
Don't be tossin' your stones round...
Who are you to wave your muddy fingers at me?
You must have been out your mind"

 

[hazen]

The Bluetones
Sleazy Bed Track
"your pills they cost too much
and you can't feel them working anymore
so pour them down the sink
and listen to me"
"...climb up here with me and lets forget about sleep..."

 

[Kintsugi]

Katzenjammer Kabaret
Gemini Girly Song
"The bed was tucked
There was no one around
I wish I could move but my limbs are bound
The night is so thick and sweet mommy's gone
I'm afraid of the dark and the voices come (and my mommy is gone)"

 

[Crl1983]

Bat For Lashes-Horrorshow

They're gonna come and get you
They're gonna come and find out

Colors dancing in the sky
All my ancestry up so high
And if I come, don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us

'Cause they're gonna come and get you
They're gonna come and find out
Sleep my pretty, sleep
Or the hotshots will break your heart

The mystical and horror show
You can see them floating
They don't know
Moving past the window
The shadows will break your heart
horror show

You can see them floating
They don't know
Can not get a witness
Can not get a witness

The shadows will break your heart
They're gonna come and get you
They're gonna come and find out
Sleep my pretty, sleep

Or the hotshots will break your heart

-For some people this is a love song, for me this song means something else entirely. Some may get it.

 

[Sterre]

Bon Iver: Stacks

There's a black crow sitting across from me
His wiry legs are crossed
He is dangling my keys, he even fakes a toss
Whatever could it be
That has brought me to this loss?

 

[Kintsugi]

For any of those who have messaged me, this is where my stand-in name comes from (Simon). The song is especially appropriate in light of my recent sleep troubles (unable to wake).

Pretty Balanced
Simon's Sleeping

"Shake her wake her up I try
I can only watch her lie
Simon watches eyelids as projections flicker there
I don't wanna wake her but her whispers sorta scare me"
