Songs You Relate To

[Moony]

One line from Hotel California by The Eagles

'You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave'

Everyone has different songs and musics that they listen to. Some things come out more when you are in a ptsd mood. What song do you feel relates to you?

I'll start this off

Counting Crows "Around Here"
To me this song almost describes me.
"We talk just like lions, but we sacrifice like lambs. Around here she's slipping threw my hands"
"And she knows she more than just a little misunderstood. She has problems acting normal when she's nervous"

Hi shadowchaser

I have merged your music thread into one already up and running. The one too is about music your relate to because of your PTSD.

On the more hiphop side joe buddens " whatever it takes" really good song

 

[Lionheart]

"in the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here"

I think this song is beautiful. Sia is also one of the songwriters on it, and I love her songs too. I wish the album was out now, Lea Michele's voice is amazing. I cried the first time I heard it :eek:. I'm such a softie.

Cannonball - Lea Michele

Freedom. I let go of fear and the peace came quickly.
Freedom. I was in the dark and then it hit me,
I chose suffering and pain in the falling rain.
I know, I gotta get out into the world again.

But I won’t hide inside
I gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get out, gotta get out.
Lonely inside and light the fuse -
Light it now, light it now, light it now!

And now I will start living today,
Today, today, I close the door.
I got this new beginning and I will fly,
I’ll fly, like a cannonball.
Like a cannonball.
Like a cannonball.
I’ll fly, I’ll fly, I’ll fly like a cannonball.

I'm not sorry - The cast of Smash

Talkin' in your sleep, I heard you're livin' in a dream.
Go wake up in your castle, my throne is not your destiny.
You'll never take this crown from me, I hate to break it to you:

I'm not sorry, sorry
For the person I've become.
Not sorry, sorry,
I don't live under your thumb.
It's time to stay the same,
You can't take the best of me.
Hate to break it, hate to break you, hate to break it to you

I'm not sorry.

This song could be about many people, including talking to yourself for abandoning you.

Bad Guy -Eminem

It's like I'm in this dirt diggin' up old hurt,
Tried everything to get my mind off you: it won't work.
All it takes is one song on the radio, you're
right back on it, remindin' me all over again
how you f*ckin' just brushed me off and left me so burnt.

Spent a lot of time tryin' to soul search,
maybe I needed to grow up a lil first.
Well looks like I hit a growth spurt,
but I'm comin' for closure.

Don't suppose an explanation I'm owed for
the way that you turned your back on me,
just when I needed you most, oh,
you thought it was over...
You could just close the chapter
and go about your life like it was nothin'.

You ruined mine,
but you seem to be doin' fine.
Well, I've never recovered...

This song is my childhood and teen years shoved into a tiny box. It's actually a comforting song, with a really empowering ending. The style of rap catches so much of the feelings of having a past like this. The female chorus singer creates a comforting message, like the support you needed from yourself or a supportive parent.

Legacy -Eminem

~Tell me where to go, tell me what to do,
I'll be right there for you.
Tell me what to say, no matter if it's true,
I'll say it all for you.~

I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky is fallin',
Why am I so differently wired in my noggin?
'Cause sporadic as my thoughts come, it's mind-bogglin',

'Cause I obsess on everything in my mind,
Small shit bothers me, but not my father,
he said sayanora then split, but I don't give a shit.

I'm fine long as
There's batteries in my Walkman,
Nothin's the matter with me,
Shit, look on the bright side: least I ain't walkin!
I bike ride through...

@untiltoday , I like some Eminem songs, Toy Soldiers is one of my favourites and I relate to a lot of it (especially the video, it strikes a chord in me), but I don't think I've heard the ones you put up. I will give them a listen to.

Sober - P!nk

I don't wanna be the girl who has to fill the silence.
The quiet scares me 'cause it screams the truth.
Please don't tell me that we had that conversation;
I won't remember, save your breath, 'cos what's the use?

Ah, the night is calling,
And it whispers to me softly come and play.
I am falling,
And If I let myself go I'm the only one to blame.

I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me,
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside,
You're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?...

Looking for myself, sober.


I love Lily Allen. I could pretty much post lyrics from every song on her second album (I might have posted these before? I can't remember).

The Fear - Lily Allen

I want to be rich and I want lots of money.
I don't care about clever, I don't care about funny.
I want loads of clothes and f**kloads of diamonds -
I heard people die while they're trying to find them.

And I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless,
'Cause everyone knows that's how you get famous.

I'll look at The Sun and I'll look in The Mirror,
I'm on the right track, yeah I'm on to a winner.

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore,
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore.
And when do you think it will all become clear?
'Cause I'm being taking over by the fear.


Johnny and Mary - Robert Palmer (the Placebo cover is really good too)

Johnny says he's willing to learn
When he decides he's a fool.
Johnny says he'll live anywhere,
When he earns time to.
Mary combs her hair,
Says she should be used to it.

Mary always hedges her bets,
She never knows what to think,
She says that he still acts like he's
Being discovered.
Scared that he'll be caught
Without a second thought.
Running around...

Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty.
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely.
