Songs You Relate To

[Kintsugi]

Pretty Balanced
Simon's Sleeping

She has fever
She has breathless
As her sweat beads
On her forehead
There's a green hill
There's a beech tree
There's a window
That can see me

Simon's clawing fingers out
Doesn't know it's still without
Face is latticed with her hair
Reaches out
But nothing's there
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

 

[Lady of Longbourn]

'Drive' by Alan Jackson. I keep listening to it over and over again.

I Think I'm Paranoid by Garbage

You can look, but you can't touch.
I don't think I like you much.
Heaven knows what a girl can do;
Heaven knows what you've got to prove.

I think I'm paranoid. And complicated.
I think I'm paranoid.
Manipulate it .

Bend me, break me,
Any way you need me,
All I want is you.
Bend me, break me,
Breaking down is easy,
All I want is you.

I fall down just to give you a thrill.
Prop me up with another pill.
If I should fail, if I should fold,
I nailed my faith to the sticking pole.

I think I'm paranoid. Manipulate it.
I think I'm paranoid. And complicated...

Steal me, deal me, any way you heal me.
Maim me, tame me, you can never change me.
Love me, like me, come ahead and fight me.
Please me, tease me, go ahead and leave me.

Bend me, break me, any way you need me,
As long as I want you baby it's all right.
Bend me, break me, any way you need me:
As long as I want you baby it's all right.


I hate love by Garbage

Your words are pretty but I already know who you are.
You knew you before you met me, long before we would part.
Before you tricked me, and laid on my bones,
Before you kissed me, and buried my hope,
Before you stole my spirit and rode the show into the wall.

Sure you are, they lay all their dreams on you.
They let you in and you start to believe yourself as a miracle.

Unfurled, I was new and unfurled.
Innocent and open as any lamb, and hoping for paradise.

Yeah, I hate love. Yeah, I hate love.
So I hate love. Yeah, I hate love.

Shock to My System by Gemma Hayes

It's like getting close to the sun.
I wanna tell you things, I just can't get air in my lungs
Long enough to explain.

See, I was born awake.
Little by little I simply fell asleep.
Then you came, it all changed.

You were right: I was half alive.
You were a shock to my system,
Tearing up my quiet life...

I met you in the corner of the day.
You said I was beautiful, but only when I'm lost.
And you were right, I was half alive.

Dear Father by Black Sabbath

A childhood innocence was drowned in your tears.
The demons that you fought are feeding your fears.
The poisoned secrets of your life stand revealed.
The truth destroys you, its no longer concealed.

Dear father forsaken, you knew what you were doing.
In silence your violence has left my life in ruin.
Yeah, in ruin, yeah.

You preyed upon my flesh then prayed for my soul.
Belief betrayed by lust, the faith that you stole.
Indoctrination by a twisted desire,
The catechism of an evil messiah.

Dear father forgive me, I know just what I'm doing.
In silence this violence will leave your life in ruin.
Yeah, in ruin, yeah.

Preacher of theocracy hiding your hypocrisy.
Under false sanctity, holy phoney empathy.
You have taken my life,
Now it's your turn to die.

Can you sleep at night? When you close your eyes
Do you think of all the pain from your lies?
Or do you deny you're responsible
For the victims of the sins you devised?

What you gonna tell them when they ask you? Well then
Is your conscience pure in your heart?
There is no exemption when you seek redemption
For all the lives that you've torn apart.

Your molestations of the cross you defiled,
A man once holy now despised and reviled.
You took possession while confessing my sins
And now you have to face whatever death brings, yeah.

Dear father forsaken, you knew what you were doing.
In silence your violence has left my life in ruin, yeah.
In ruin, yeah, yeah, yeah.
In ruin yeah.

This song has a really good tune, I like it a lot:

Further Away (Romance Police) by Lissie

Grieving, as natural as breathing.
He’s loving and he’s leaving.
Watch him go, let him go.

Need him, but you’re never gonna keep him.
You should get used to this feeling;
Watch him go let him go.

Does anyone love anyone anymore?
Does anyone love anyone anymore ?
Take what they want, take it and run out the door.

He gets further away (stop thief somebody hey!)
Yeah yeah (he just stole her heart and he’s gettin’ away)
With every step that you take (call up the romance police!)


(Idiot friend is so far gone on drugs now. Devastating to see, So I relate to this one) :
Not if you were the last junkie on earth by The Dandy Warhols

I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so passe.
But today, if you think that I don't know about depression and emotional pain,
You're insane! Or your a fool who hasn't paid attention to a word that I say.

In a way, I can't help but feel responsible.
I always knew that you were insane (with your pain).
But I never thought you'd be a junkie, because heroin is so passe.

So passe, now-a-day.
You never thought you'd get addicted, just be cooler in an obvious way.
I could say: shouldn't you have got a couple piercings and decided maybe that you were gay?

In a way, I can't help but feel responsible,
I always knew that you were insane (with your pain).
But I never thought you'd be a junkie.

Neighbourhood #3 Power Out by Arcade Fire

I went out into the night, I went out to find some light.
Kids are swinging from the power lines! Nobody's home, so nobody minds...

Ice has covered up my parents hands.
Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans.
Growing up in some strange storm.
Nobody's cold, nobody's warm.

I went out into the night, I went out to find some light.
Kids are dying out in the snow - look at them go, look at them go!

And the power's out in the heart of man.
Take it from your heart, put in your hand.

What's the plan? What's the plan?

Is it a dream? Is it a lie? I think I'll let you decide.
Just light a candle for the kids, Jesus Christ, don't keep it hid!

Cause nothing's hid, from us kids!
You ain't fooling nobody with the lights out!

 

[James Webster]

When I was your man : By Bruno mars , That I should I bought you flowers and held your hand.

 

[Jenfa]

My list isn't as angry as it seems if you are driving, and winning at driving.

1. Court Martial - Gotta Get Out
2. Void - Who Are You
3. Cock Sparrer - I Got your Number
4. Bad Brains - House of Suffering
5. The Stimulators - Loud Fast Rules

If I listen to Dead Can Dance, I lose it so that's out. Or Bill Ward. Or any Pink Floyd from 1975 on LOL but I mainly like surf music, surf rock, psychobilly (aka too old salty punks mixed with rockabilly). Sometimes when you have a great positive melody, a good baseline, and lyrics about someone's mom, you cannot fail.

Atmosphere - If you can save me now

It is about a car crash and a near death experience. I relate to it on the near death experience level.

"memories seem so real,
just like everything that I feel,
tried to coast on all 5 wheels,
wanna cry keep the tears concealed."

"Drifting, dreaming,
and then I heard somebody screaming,
but I don't even wanna know the reason
so I kept my focus on the view I'm seein'"



"We all got scars and broken parts.
But most of the marks stay close to my heart.
Waitin' for the down-poor to start.
The rain clouds over my head got dark. "

"

This song is beautiful, her voice is powerful and has amazing lyrics. I feel every word.

I can't let go by Jennifer Hudson

I wake up with this anger, and the pain won't let me be.
And the smile I share is only there for show.

If I hang on to this heartache then my soul will not be free.
So I keep trying, but I just cannot let go.

I can't let go. I need it to remind me.
I can't let go. Oh, I just repeat the past.

And though your arms are saying yes,
I feel my heart keeps saying no.
I want to love you, but I can't let go.

I have lived through bad beginnings,
And I've seen unhappy ends,
So I close the book before the story starts.

I'm just a witness to my lifetime - and I'm a stranger to my friends.
I'm a trafficker of broken, damaged hearts.

Now you ask me to start over, but it's easier said than done,
And the memories are strong when they arise,
And when heartache comes a'calling
I won't even try to run
'Cause it's all that makes me know that I'm alive...

Would you help me to let go?

Big Bright World by Garbage

We are difficult to understand,
It was hard to make the simple plan work...

You're a satellite around my heart,
One million miles before the start.
Indescribable, that's what makes it you.

Shivers up and down my spine, feet to the deep
Inside this big, bright world...

You rage against the dying; Rage against the dying light.

You're mysterious, you make no sense.
I love you 'cause you're innocent:
You fell out through a hole inside the sun.

So magnify the best inside me; Fill the parts that you can't find me,
The parts that won't give out when things get hard...

Inside this big, bright world... I'm with you.

Mean Taylor Swift

You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me,
You, have knocked me off my feet again,
Got me feeling like I'm nothing.
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded.
You, pickin' on the weaker man.

Well you can take me down,
With just one single blow.
But you don't know, what you don't know,

Someday, I'll be living in a big old city,
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me,
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides,
And your walk by lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again,
As if I don't already see them.
I walk with my head down,
Trying to block you out cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel OK again.

I bet you got pushed around,
Somebody made you cold,
But the cycle ends right now,
You can't lead me down that road,
You don't know, what you don't know
