A new discovery:

Sia -Alive

I was born in a thunderstorm
I grew up overnight
I played alone
I'm playing on my own
I survived
Hey
I wanted everything I never had
Like the love that comes with life
I wore Ambien and I hated it
But I survived

I had a one way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you're taught to cry in your pillow
But I'll survive

I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

70% because there's so much truth in these lyrics, 29% because this is my mothertongue and the language of my heart, and 1% because I'm just evil enough to enjoy watching even fellow Germans struggle with the words.

BAP - Verdamp Lang Her
Für usszeschnigge! - 1981

Link Removed

It's been a damn long time since I simply accepted almost everything.
It's a damn long time ago that I believed in something.
And then that shock when it all turned out so differently -
Strange how the wind blows at times.
Not at all resigned, but pretty much disenchanted -
A little something I've managed to understand.

Ryan Binham " Dylan's Hard Rain"

I've never seen a day in the sun with gun,
That's loaded for you.
There's some hippies, in the back room,
Rockin' and a rollin' and a smoking to an old tune,
Someone took a guitar and a match, and set peace on fire.

First time poster. Found this thread because today was a day where I needed to drown anxiety symptoms in bittersweet melancholy. Four years of this thread...wow!

My little contribution:

Rise Against - Audience of One

"I can still remember
The words and what they meant
As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement
The days blurred into each other
Though everything seemed clear
We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears

We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
But even then we should have stayed

But we ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

Identities assume us
As nine and five add up
Synchronizing watches
To the seconds that we lost
I looked up and saw you
I know that you saw me
We froze but for a moment
In empathy

I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
You gave my emptiness a name

And you ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

We're all ok, until the day we're not
The surface shines, while the inside rots
We raced the sunset and we almost won
We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on

We ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone"

Alkaline Trio - This Could Be Love
(Good Mourning - 2003)

I'm like a broken record
I've got a needle scratching me
It injects the poison of alcohol I.V.
I don't blame you for walking away
I'd do the same if I saw me
I swear it's not contagious
In four short steps we can erase this...

Spoiler

Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four -- stop at Lake Michigan and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one

Nik kershaw - the riddle

It's not me you see
Pieces of valentine
And just a song of mine
To keep from burning history
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Wise men fold

@Ocean5 it's more so the lyrics that I like with the likes of eminem

Morten harket - jungle of beliefs

What a wonderful world it seems
and our keel`s running deep
we´ve got wine from the great market place
we can walk in our sleep
do you know now that gold is coming cheap
what to lose and what to keep

America - horse with no name

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

 

[Crunch]

The song that follows me is the song I listened to when I hit what I hope was my lowest point

Katy melua - wonderful life

Also ironically seen as I was in an explosion
Ac/dc - tnt
Thunder struck
You shook me all night long

 

[Crunch]

Also a lot of biff Clyro
The land at the end of my toes
The sand at the core of my bones

"What I've Done" linkin park

In this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no alibi
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done

I'll face myself
To cross out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done

Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done

I'll face myself
To cross out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done
For what I’ve done

I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I’m forgiving what I’ve done!

I'll face myself
To cross out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done

What I’ve done
Forgiving what I’ve done

"Given Up" linkin park

Wake in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste
In my disgrace

Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place
There's no escape

I'm my own worst enemy

[chorus]
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say

Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the f*ck is wrong
With me
[end chorus]

I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared
I'm not prepared

I hyperventilate
Looking for help somehow somewhere
And no one cares

I'm my own worst enemy

[chorus]
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say

Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the f*ck is wrong
With me
[end chorus]

[bridge]
Goddddddd!!!!

Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my
Put me out of my f*cking misery
[end bridge]

[chorus]
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say

Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the f*ck is wrong
With me
[end chorus]
