Songs You Relate To

[Kintsugi]

Modest Mouse
Satin Coffin

You were laying on the carpet
Like you're satin in a coffin
You said, "Do you believe
What you're saying?"
I said, "Yeah, right now but not that often"
Are you dead or are you sleeping?
Are you dead or are you sleeping?
Are you dead or are you sleeping?
God I sure hope you are dead

I Came As a Rat

We now swam down in the lake
And washed the dirt off our intentions
Prattled on about bad invention

I came as ice, I came as a whore
I came as advice that came too short
I came as gold, I came as crap
I came clean, and I came as a rat
It takes a long time, but God dies too
But not before he'll stick it to you

The View

As life gets longer
It also feels softer
Well, it feels pretty soft to me
And if it takes shit to make you see bliss
Well, I feel pretty blissfully
If life's not beautiful without the pain
Well, I'd rather never see beauty again
As life gets longer, it also feels softer
And it feels pretty soft to me!

Missed the Boat (Sorry in advance for length but this is for all of you)


While we're on the subject
Could we change the subject now?...

Everyone's unhappy, everyone's ashamed
Well we all got caught looking at somebody else's page
Nothing ever went quite exactly as we planned
Our ideas held no water but we used them as a dam

Oh, and we carried it all so well
As if we got a new position
Oh, and I'll laugh all the way to hell
Saying, "Yes, this is a fine promotion"...

Everyone goes crazy
Over such and such and such
Well we made ourselves a pillar
We just used it as a crutch
We were certainly uncertain
At least I'm pretty sure I am
Well we didn't need the water
But we just built that good god dam!

What a great idea for a post! Am enjoying looking though some of the tracks and thought i would add some of mine.

"Only love, Can bring the rain, That falls like tears from on high" The Who- Love Reign O'er Me... I listen to this when i'm feeling down, it is very uplifting.

"To think I might not see those eyes, Makes it so hard not to cry, And as we say our long goodbye, I nearly do" Snow Patrol- Run... This song has a deep meaning for me, i know it isn't everyones cup of tea but what song is.

"There's pain inside that i can't understand" Adema- Pain Inside

"Limb by limb and tooth by tooth, Tearing up inside of me, Every day every hour, I wish that I was bullet proof" Radiohead- Bullet Proof... I wish i was

"Your head will collapse, But there's nothing in it, And you'll ask yourself" Pixies- Where is my mind?

"One good thing about music, when it hits you fell no pain" Bob Marley- Trenchtown Rock

 

[danc21]

"Well a son's gonna rise in a mile, In a mile, You'll be feeling fine, In a mile you will see, After me,You'll be out of the dark, yeah, You'll get your shot" Citizen Cope- Son's Gonna Rise

 

[Crl1983]

Can't believe noones posted this one yet:

Pink Floyd-Comfortably Numb


Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

(solo)

I have become comfortably numb.

O. K.
Just a little pin prick.
There'll be no more AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. Good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

 

[Mr. Smith]

Right back at you, Sir Smithalot! :p
Geto Boys
Damn It Feels Good to Be A Gangsta

lol love it, you gangsta! :cool:

Goo Goo Dolls
Iris 
"And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am"

 

[freakofnurture]

Don't judge me.

Welcome To The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
Do or die - you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart.
Go and try. You'll never break me!
I want it all, I want to play this part.
I won't explain or say I'm sorry.
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar.
Give a cheer for all the broken.
Listen here - because it's who we are.

This is my fight song. It makes suicidal thoughts go away and helps me to rip myself out of victim mode. It's the ideal picture of how I want to come out the other side of PTSD. Unapologetic and defiant, like I was in my teen years, but with a better and more mature hand for choosing my weapons and battles.

Killing Me - Robbie Williams
I don't mind the abuse,
it fills in time when I'm not much use
But it's killing me, killing me slowly
(...)
I can't go on alone
Pretending nothing's wrong
Maybe I just want to belong
Somewhere, somehow, somehow

I put this on the 'Get To Know Each Other' Mixtape I sent my now-husband when I started falling for him. It seems nearly prophetic now, because at the time I felt a bit pretentious for including it; I couldn't explain why I chose it when he asked. Now I know.

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
There is no pain - you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.

A bit of dissociation. Physically present, mentally on another planet entirely. And Death is there, too.

EDIT:
And one line from Follow The Cops Back Home - Placebo
I'm medicated, how are you?

 

[Reclusive]

Kansas - The Wall (and Pink Floyd's The Wall, but I suppose that's a given)

I'm woven in a fantasy,
I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now
Has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost
It rises now before me,
A dark and silent barrier between,
All I am, and all that I would ever want be
It's just a travesty,
Towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit
Would erase

To pass beyond is what I seek
I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who've seen it
Through to glimpse the other side,
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece,
The weight of indecision's in the air
It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty,
Towering, blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see

Gold and diamonds cast a spell,
It's not for me I know it well
The riches that I seek
Are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me,
I must tear down the Wall and let it be
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
There is no loss

Edit: Thanks for posting the Geto Boys earlier. It's featured in Office Space and, therefore, will always be one of my faves.

 

[Kintsugi]

This song used to always think of my abusive ex while I was in the period of my severance.
Revue Noir
Sometimes, Sunshine

Sometimes, sunshine, I think you're happy
With an ounce of prevention and a pound of cure
I think you're memory's quite selective
Recalling what I came here for

Sometimes
Sunshine...

Sometimes, sunshine, you look right through me
And now it happens far too much
You're dreaming vividly in color
And I'm wide awake so our worlds never really touch

 

[hazen]

Gorillaz
Every Planet We Reach Is Dead


I lost my leg like I lost my way
So no loose ends
Nothing to see me down
How are we going to work this out?

Dreams aren't bad, I had turned back
I love the girl
But God only knows it's
Getting hard to see the sun coming through
I love you...
But what are we going to do?

Picture I'm a dreamer
I'll take you deeper
Down to the sleepy glow
Time is a low..
Don't you know?
What are we going to do?

 

[hazen]

The Heavy
Short Change Hero
I can't see where you're comin' from
But I know just what you're runnin' from
And what matters thinkin' who's baddest but the
Ones who stop you falling from your ladder

When you feel like you're feeling now
And doin' things just to please your crowd
When I love you like the way I love you
And I suffer but I ain't gonna cut you 'cause

This ain't no place for no hero
This ain't no place for no better man
This ain't no place for no hero
To go home

 

[hazen]

Its amazing how personal songs can get. I feel like I'm sharing some of my deepest thoughts and feelings here just by saying what songs are close to my heart.

 

[Kintsugi]

Edit: Thanks for posting the Geto Boys earlier. It's featured in Office Space and, therefore, will always be one of my faves.

I feel exactly the same way. Every time I hear this song, I am reminded of printer demolition! You can see, then, why I chose to censor it. I mean, we're all close, but that's a whole different ballgame. >.<

Gorillaz

The Gorillaz have some sick beats.

WOW, I just realized I basically have to totally go against my feeling on accessibility/readability by posting THIS WHOLE SONG, and it goes out to each and every one of you, sufferers and carers alike. I think it really applies!

Tool
The Patient
A groan
Of tedium escapes me
Stuttering and fearful
Is this a test?
It has to be
Otherwise I can't go on

Draining patience drain vitality
This paranoid, paralyzed vampire
Acts a little old

But I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here X2

Wait it out
I'm gonna wait it out
Wait it out

If there were no rewards to reap
No embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away
By now

And I still may X2

Be patient. X3

I must keep reminding myself of this. X4

If there were no desires to heal
The damaged and broken met along
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away
By now...
