Songs You Relate To

[Loveneverfails]

I love the song "Shut Your Mouth" by Garbage. I know it's about the life of fame and the media but I think it sticks so well to people hearing about you from another source and thinking they know you because of it.

I think this might have been posted already but:

Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Sound of War Drums by A Perfect Circle

Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window
Go back to sleep
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
See, they don't give a f*ck about you, like I do.


and
The Noose by A Perfect Circle

So glad to see you well
Overcome and completely silent now
With heaven's help
You cast your demons out
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

Recall the deeds as if
They're all someone else's
Atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn before us all
So glad to see you well

These songs are just sort of... They'd be my inner monologue for life. Nothing To Lose is basically how I felt during my trauma, and how I'm feeling about therapy- like nobody's listening.

Live out Loud is a really cute song, and it's basically just how I'm feeling now. I don't want to isolate myself- but I want to be independent and free, and just confident in the fact that I'm me- and that despite all that's happened, I really wouldn't change myself to fit into someone else's mould of what I should be like or act like. If people can't accept me, they're not worth knowing anyway. :)

Nothing To Lose- Billy Talent

Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know
Put concrete in my veins
I’d always walk home alone
So I became lifeless
Just like my telephone

There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change

Never played truth or dare
I’d have to check my mirror
To see if I’m still here
My parents had no clue
That I ate all my lunches
Alone in the bathroom

There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to gain
And I can’t fight the pain

Teachers said "it's just a phase"
When I grow up my children
Will probably do the same
Kids just love to tease
Who'd know it put me underground at seventeen

There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to gain
And I can’t fight the pain
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain

There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
And I just died today


Live out Loud- A Little Princess (Musical)

I don't want to go along with the crowd
Don't want to live life under a cloud
Give me some air and space
And sun on my face
I want to live out loud

Don't want to be alone in the crowd
Don't want to seem peculiar and proud
I need to be as free
As I know how to be
I want to live out loud

Every day - sleep, walk, lock, step
No one dares to stray
Though they may - straightlaced, shamefaced
Long to break away
They're as lonely as can be
Is that what they want from me?

I don't want to go along with the crowd
Don't want to live life under a cloud
Give me some air and space
And sun on my face
I want to live out loud

Don't want to be alone in the crowd
Don't want to seem peculiar and proud
Nobody wants me here
But I won't be disappear
I wanna live out loud

I want to run down an open shoreline
I want to join in a moonlit dance
I want to swing from the branches of a tree
I want to bathe in a hidden inlet
And let the breeze come and dry my hair
I want the life they took away from me

If that makes me headstrong - fine!
That's a fault I'm glad is mine.

I don't want to go along with the crowd
Don't want my spirit broken and bowed
Why do I have to hide how I'm feeling inside
I want to live out loud

Don't want to be alone in the crowd
I only want what I'm not allowed
Give me the wings of a bird
I'll be seen and be heard

I want to sing when my heart is full
I want to sing and I want to fly
I want to soar the sky without a cloud
I want to live out loud

To the idiot English teacher in Grade 8 who told me my hearing impairment was "catching" here's what I want her to read or at least REALLY listen to.

Born this way-Lady Gaga

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are"
She said, "'Cause he made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up girl and you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Oh there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Oh there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Give yourself prudence
And love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

---
I love my life I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah (Love needs faith)

----
Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'cause baby you were born this way

---
I'm on the right track baby,
I was born to survive.
---
I'm on the right track baby,
I was born to be brave.

I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!

Same DNA, but born this way.
Same DNA, but born this way.

So yeah, Just wanted to let her know it's not an infection- I WAS actually born with a hearing loss. What a douche. >.<

"Mother Of Violence" - Peter Gabriel

Walking the street with her naked feet,
So full of rhythm but I can't find the beat.
Snapping her heels, clicking her toes,
Everybody knows just where she goes.

Fear, Fear, she's the mother of Violence,
Making me tense to watch the way she breed.
Fear, she's the mother of Violence,
You know self-defense is all you need.
It's getting hard to breathe,
It's getting so hard to believe,
To believe in anything at all.

Mouth all dry, eyes bloodshot,
Data stored on a microdot.
Kicking the cloud with my moccasin shoes,
TV dinner, TV news.

Fear, Fear, she's the mother of Violence,
Don't make any sense to watch the way she breed.
Fear, she's the mother of Violence,
Making me tense to watch the way she feed.
The only way you know she's there
Is the subtle flavor in the air.
Getting hard to breathe,
Getting hard to believe in anything at all
But Fear.

Pressure - Billy Joel

You have to learn to pace yourself
Pressure
You're just like everybody else
Pressure
You've only had to run so far
So good
But you will come to a place
Where the only thing you feel
Are loaded guns in your face
And you'll have to deal with
Pressure
You used to call me paranoid
Pressure
But even you can not avoid
Pressure
You turned the tap dance into your crusade
Now here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle pressure
All grown up and no place to go
Psych 1, Psych 2
What do you know?
All your life is Channel 13
Sesame Street
What does it mean?
Pressure
Pressure
Don't ask for help
You're all alone
Pressure
You'll have to answer
To your own
Pressure
I'm sure you'll have some cosmic rationale
But here you are in the ninth
Two men out and three men on
Nowhere to look but inside
Where we all respond to
Pressure
Pressure
All your life is Time magazine
I read it too
What does it mean?
Pressure
I'm sure you'll have some cosmic rationale
But here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle pressure
Pressure, pressure
One, two, three, four
Pressure

I'm With You - Avril Lavigne

I'm standin' on the bridge
I'm waitin' in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound

Isn't anyone tryin' to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night
Tryin' to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand?
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I'm, I'm with you...I'm with you

I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know?
'Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone

Oh, why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind

It's a damn cold night
Tryin' to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand?
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I'm, I'm with you

This one is really special to me. Every time that line "For all those born beneath an angry star" the tears flow
Because I feel I was born beneath that angry star. My mother's anger. Any child who was born beneath an angry star will know what I mean...... That child is fragile and the tears never stop falling

"Fragile" - Sting
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are

 

[Loveneverfails]

On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are

Used to play this on loop so many times when I was younger. Brilliant artist and a song I always identified with. (((Liz)))

Superchick kind of day.

Stand in the Rain by Superchick

She never slows down.
She doesn't know why but she knows
that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries
that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain

She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears
whispering if she stands she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything she's
running from wants to give up and lie down.

(This next one is my frigging anthem :p)

Still Here by Superchick

Cross through the night
I looked down and lost my way my light
Brought to my knees
Though the dark surrounds it pulls me down
I do not sink beneath

Still here
Staggering on
Through the impossible
We remain
I can breathe one more day
Still here
Still fighting on
All we have is today
Find my way
To the beauty of one more day
Still here

Hope fades away
When tomorrow holds no promises today
Then today I am set free
For amidst the tears amongst the fear
I find the joy to be

Still here
Staggering on
Through the impossible
We remain
I can breathe one more day
Still here
Still fighting on
All we have is today
Find my way
To the beauty of one more day
Still here

Still here
Staggering on
Through the impossible
We remain
I can breathe one more day

Still here
Still fighting on
All we have is today
Find my way
To the beauty of one more day
Still here

(Cruel intentions soundtrack songs ;) lol)

Every you Every Me - Placebo

All alone in space and time,
There's nothing here, but what here's mine.
Something borrowed, something blue.
Every me and every you,
Every me and every you.

Trip on love - Abra Moore

Do you run from magic?
When you kiss someone,
Do you like it tragic?
When you feel too much,
Do you start to panic?

Coffee and TV - Blur

Sociability,
It's hard enough for me.
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me,
So we can start all over again.
Praise you - Fatboy Slim

We've come a long long way together
Through the hard times and the good.
I have to celebrate you baby,
I have to praise you like I should..

Colourblind - Counting crows

I am fine.
I am covered in skin.
No one gets to come in.
Pull me out from inside.
I am folded, and undfolded, and unfolding.

Why - Tracy Chapman

Why do the babies starve
When there's enough food to feed the world
Why when there're so many of us
Are there people still alone

Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they're aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home

Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we're all free

But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
Admidst all these questions and contradictions
There're some who seek the truth

Tell me Why do the babies starve
When there's enough food to feed the world
Why when there're so many of us
Are there people still alone

Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they're aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home

Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we're all free

But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
When the blind remove their blinders
And the speechless speak the truth

Tell me Why do the babies starve
When there's enough food to feed the world
Why when there're so many of us
Are there people still alone

Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they're aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home

Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
