Songs You Relate To

[Red Feather]

Breathe Me
by Sia

Prime-no I love Sia. I posted Breathe Me here too. I absolutely adore that song. :)

 

[p-no]

I just reread the OP and I guess I needed it. Still, I find it difficult to only post few lines of a song... Some songs tell a consecutive story and only putting a few lines would just tear it all apart IMO.

It is very true for this song, I find. So, I hope it's okay to put the whole song with the chorus just once.

Conditional
by Tracy Chapman

It's conditional
Not for free
There are strings attached
Tied to me
I'll want something back
If you agree
To be in love with me

Try to try to try to forget
To change the things about me
You can not accept
Any day that you have regret
Just let it recede

There are vows that must be made
There are terms that can't expire
There are words that must be said
And there are qualifiers
I'll love you but I'll count the ways
The things that I admire
And anyone who says they won't
You can call a liar

It's conditional
Not for free
There are strings attached
Tied to me
I'll want something back
If you agree
To be in love with me

Skylar Grey- Invisible

..Here inside, my quiet hell
You cannot hear, my cries for help
I try everything, to make them see me
But everyone, sees what I can't be

Even when I'm walking on a wire
Even when I set myself on fire
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Everyday I try to look my best
Even though inside I'm such a mess
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible..

 

[SweetPeaandSunBird]

This one helps me when I need to feel strong in case I need to confront someone I'm scared of...

Jimi Hendrix, Voodoo Child

Well, I stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise just a little sand

"All Time Low"- The Wanted

Praying won't do it
Hating won't do it
Drinking won't do it
Fighting won't knock you out
Of my head

Hiding won't hide it
Smiling won't hide it
Like I ain't tried it
Everyone's tried it now
And failed somehow

So when you gonna let me
When you gonna let me out - Out

And if you know
How do you get up from an all time low
I'm in pieces
Seems like peace is
The only thing I'll never know
How do you get up
Get up

'Cos driving won't do it
Flying won't do it
Denying won't do it
Crying won't drown it out
What you said

When I'm standing on the yellow line
Waiting at the station
Or I'm late for work
A vital presentation
If you call me now girl
Without reservation
I would try to break through

But if you know
How do you get up from an all time low
I'm in pieces
It seems like peace is
The only thing I never know
How do you get up from an all time low
I can't even find a place to start
How do I choose between my head and heart
Till it ceases I never know
How do you get up from an all time low

There are some days when I love this song... and some days I can't stand to listen to it because it sets me off :P

Staind - So far Away


Now that we're here,
It's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All in the mistakes,
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day, and I can forgive
And I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today
These are my words
That I've never said before
I think I'm doing okay
And this is the smile
That I've never shown before

Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping

Hate Me- Blue October

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 space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

I’m sober now for 3 whole months it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I’ll drive so f*cking far away that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling “Make it go away!”
Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered “How can you do this to me?”

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

Linkin Park - Crawling

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling

I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

[Chorus]

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem.
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

[Chorus]

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
(Confusing what is real)
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling
(Confusing what is real)

I was going to try and add in the shockwave player - Learning to Walk Again by the Foo Fighters - but I ran into the 10 post restriction.

Good song, the film clip shows Dave Grohl flipping his lid in precisely the same situation as I would./

That's Okay - The Hush Sound
You want to go back to where you felt safe
To hear your brother's laughter,
See your mother's face
Your childhood home is just powder-white bones
And you'll never find your way back

"Beyond The Stars" - Evans Blue
Help me
Surrender my control
Searching for the death of my own soul
I bleed, but far beneath
My cover keeps the red from leaking
I'm bleeding on the inside
The fear before the fall
I'm 6 feet above the next time
I lose it all!

Keep your silence or
Reach for life beyond the stars
Save your mercy
For someone who needs it more
I'm the guilty
All the feelings come crashing down on me
I'm taking you with me

Help me
I'm losing on my own
Locked up in a cage
And not alone
Show me a way to keep
The hate from taking
Control I'm breaking
I'm bleeding on the inside
The fear before the fall
I'm 6 feet above the next time
I lose it all!

Taking you with me
I'm the guilty
All the feelings
Come crashing down on me
I'm taking you with me
I'm taking you with me

I love Evans blue! They've got a very unique vibe to them. Great choice LNF.
