Songs You Relate To

[Bloomy]

Norwegian hip hop from the artist Endless translated:

Winternight

Who can if I cant? And If cant who can, change my choises of where Im going.
Only trying to find the next place to stop, but I cant find the place I should be stopping by.

Experiences, payed dues, statements and changes
Can be explained by dont know who, what and how, no one knows

So I continue, but it says stop, it aint easy to stand up straight when every one gives you up

The only thing in focus: outcast!
exhibited, shot & stigmatizd, frightful!

Nobody sees, nobody knows
nobody feels smiles nor laugh

Everybody stands in a circle
but the circel dies
Cause the only thing I do is the things
I shouldnt do

Im living in winterland
far away and inadequetly
closed away in a winterland
and the ice doesnt melt away

I dont control my life
Haunted like an wild animal
closed away in winterland
where the ice settles in

Insane crazy
to many impressions
I want to leave

Always the same winter
everything on ice
truth said Im pulled in to many directions

No rescue here
I must wander
And come to a direction myself

I need advice, I need words,
I need peace I need someone

Need more, see I know,
see me feel, smile, see me laugh

Everybody stands in a circle
but the circel dies
Cause the only thing I do
is the things that I shouldnt

My narration, my conscience
my story, show caution

There is always several sides to look at
so watch when Im asking to mean something

Im living in a winterland
far away and inadequetly
closed away in winterland
and the ice dont melt away

I dont control my life
Haunted like an wild animal
closed away in winterland
where the ice settles in

Who can if I cant? And If cant who can, change my choises of where Im going.
Only trying to find the next place to stop by, but I cant find the place I should be stopping at

Experiences, payed dues, statements and changes
Can be explained by dont know who what and how, no one knows

So who can If I cant? And If I cant who can
edit my mistakes?

I know what I want to and I know that I want
edit my mistakes, but

Im living in winterland
far away and inadequetly
closed away in a winterland
and the ice doesnt melt away

I dont control my life
Haunted like an wild animal
closed away in winterland

where the ice settles in

I'd rather by Hank Green

I like this video made with it

 

[Forgetful]

REM
Everybody Hurts

It reminds me I'm not alone and with that knowledge it can get better.

 

[Tinyflame]

Highway to Hell- ? :roflmao:

(Actually I never minded AC/DC, not boring, Back in Black & that were ok. Have to like anyone named Angus. :) ).

 

[LostintheNavy]

Not sure if anyone has posted this and it's a total sap top 40 song but...

Rihanna
Close to You

"...I know you don't need my protection
But I'm in love, can't blame me for checking
I love in your direction, hoping that the message goes.."

@Junebug
That is totally my funeral song

 

[Tinyflame]

OMG @Saelben . :eek: :p (I think not, you seem like a pretty good guy. :tup: :cool: ;) :hug: )

I'd (seriously) love to have a conga line at mine, ideally for people on an island or beach, with a bar-b-q. (I know conga lines are cheesy, and I really love them. And even the non-dancers can feel free to dance away. :) )

Actually, I don't think I'd have anyone come to my funeral. They are so expensive, anyway. I'd hope to get just a blessing then send me off.

"Shouldn't Come Back"-- Demi Lovato

Trying not to forget,
Should be easier than this oh, oh
And all the birthdays you've missed
I was only a kid oh, oh

Sorry I'm not sorry for the times
I don't reply, you know the reason why

Maybe you shouldn't come back
Maybe you shouldn't come back to me
Tired of being so sad,
Tired of getting so mad, baby
Stop right now,
You'll only let me down, oh, oh
Maybe you shouldn't come back
Maybe you shouldn't come back to me

As to what this song makes me think of, regardless of it's intended meaning, two words: my dad.

"Soap"-- Melanie Martinez

Think I got myself in trouble
So I fill the bath with bubbles
Then I'll put the towels all away
Should've never said the word "love"
Threw a toaster in the bathtub
I'm sick of all the games I have to play

I'm tired of being careful, tip toe, trying to keep the water warm
Let me under your skin
Uh oh there it goes, I said too much, it overflowed
Why do I always spill?

I feel it coming out my throat
Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap
God I wish I never spoke
Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

This is one my sibling introduced me to a good while back. It's a fairly deceptive song, as it sounds very catchy and pop-ish, but what it represents for me is darker. My mother, and the bullshit games she'd put me through, regardless if she meant to or not. I'd get in trouble for speaking up about what I disagreed with (which wasn't exactly constructive of a dysfunctional child given it usually ended in fights), she'd do the 'soap in mouth' thing, and I'd bottle up my shit again, attempt to isolate, and eventually blow up as I got more bitter and repeat. Fun times, heh.

I like Bieber's ( :eek: :p ) What do you Mean? & U2's Where the Streets Have No Name. Mostly the speed of the beat, they say it matches our heart rate. Also you can add twice as many steps in dancing. Plus that caribean (sp?)-sounding instrument in Bieber's & well, I'm 1/2 Irish. (The green half. :D ) I feel like dancing when I hear them, universal truths in them for my life, too. But I don't overthink them.

Dead Inside"

I don't feel good: Just an ordinary day
I don't care much:about what you think

It all washes away in the end: Under skies so gray in the end (We're all)
Dead inside, can't deny what is real, the pain I feel.
Dead inside, can't deny always suffering, it's just my way.

I've seen enough: No more hurt today
All damage is done: No more life this way.

It all washes away in the end: Under skies so gray in the end (We're all)
Dead inside, can't deny what is real, the pain I feel.
Dead inside, can't deny always suffering, yeah.

Every single one:from every single way
All they do is drag me down, and I know it'll never change.
Every drop of blood: flows right down the drain
And though I spilt it all for you, you never appreciate, never appreciate (We're all)

Dead inside, can't deny what is real, the pain I feel.
Dead inside, can't deny always suffering, it's just my way. [2x]

R.E.M. - Bad Day

A Public service announcement followed me home the other day
I paid it nevermind. Go away
Shits so thick you could stir it with a stick- free
Teflon whitewashed presidency
We're sick of being jerked around
Wear that on your sleeve

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord
Count your blessings
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down

Have you ever seen the televised St. vitus subcommittee prize
Investigation dance? Those-ants-in-pants glances
Well, look behind the eyes
It's a hallowed, hollow anesthesized
"Save my own ass, screw these guys"
Smoke and mirror lock down

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord
Count your blessings
The papers wouldn't lie!
I sigh. Not one more

Its been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
Its been a bad day, please...
Its been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
Its been a bad day, please...

We're dug in the deep the price is steep
The auctioneer is such a creep
The lights went out, the oil ran dry
We blamed it on the other guy
Sure, all men are created equal
Heres the church, heres the steeple
Please stay tuned we cut to sequel
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord
Count your blessings
Ignore the lower fears
Ugh, this means war

Its been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
Its been a bad day, please...
Its been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
Its been a bad day, please...

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord
Count your blessings
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down

Its been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
Its been a bad day, please...
Its been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
Its been a bad day, please...

Best performance in my opinion is the Perfect Square gig from 2003

ロストワンの号哭 (Lost One no Goukoku)
The Lost One's Weeping (Translated)

A dagger of distrust
Finally pierces a vein,
By suddenly appearing, this weak love,
Even transforms a pole into a lethal weapon.

It's not fiction.

I do like math and science,
Since I'm useless at Japanese, I hate it,
But if I continue to worry about which is correct,
I feel that they'll both turn out to be wrong.

Today's
Homework is
About me
Who has no personality,
It's just enough,
I'm satisfied,
I've started to live,
But why is it, we
Sometimes-- no, always
Say we're sad,
Say we're lonely?

Can you read the Kanji on the blackboard?
Can you read that kid's imagination?
Who was it, that dyed his heart black,
Hey, who was it?
Hey, who was it?

Can you solve this equation on the abacus?
Can you loosen the rope around that kid's neck?
Is it fine, if we remain like this?
Hey, what should I do?
It doesn't matter anymore...

No matter how much time passes, we've
Been carelessly intoxicated by hypnotism,
I've always hopelessly hid,
Behind
Arrogance from power I no longer have.

As always,
I can't
Solve
Yesterday's homework,
It's just enough,
I'm satisfied,
I've started to live,
But why is it,
The devil deep inside us
Says we want to disappear,
Says we want to die?

Can you read the Kanji on the blackboard?
Can you read that kid's imagination?
Who was it, that dyed his heart black?
Hey, who was it?
Hey, who was it?
Can you solve the equation on the abacus?
Can you loosen the rope around that kid's neck?
Is it fine, if we remain like this?

Hey, what should I do?
Hey, what should I do?

Can you recite the area ratio formula?
Can you recite your dreams as a child?
Who threw those dreams down the drain,
Hey, who was it?
But I already know.
When will you grow up?
What the heck is 'growing up' in the first place?
Who should I be asking?
Hey, what should I do?
It doesn't matter anymore...

(BTW, if you aren't fond of Vocaloids and robotic-like voices in general, I'd go for the covers of this, either in Japanese of English. Soraru, MafuMafu and several others are fairly good quality. )
