Hi I've two songs
Simone White bunny in a bunny suit.
Daft punk - within
Both talk to me :-) and put into words how I'm feeling.
Anyone relate or have any others to add.
Sorry I couldn't link to YouTube but they are both on there if you search.
:-)
Sorry… you mentioned music, which is a huge interest & life saver of mine, so this post is going to be a tad long.
In my Mind- Amanda Palmer (This entire song. Honestly just go to YouTube & listen to it. It’s very significant for me because I listened to this as I waited to get my diagnosis, after spending years hating myself, I was finally coming to accept who I am, & this song hit me in a huge way).
Is there anybody out there- Pink Floyd
Just like fire- P!nk “Just like fire, burning out the way If I can light the world up for just one day Watch this madness, colorful charade No one can be just like me any way Just like magic, I'll be flying free I'mma disappear when they come for me I kick that ceiling, what you gonna say? No one can be just like me any way Just like fire” Shooting star- Owl city “When the sun goes down, and the lights burn out, Then it's time for you to shine Brighter than the shooting star, so shine no matter where you are Fill the darkest night, with a brilliant light, 'Cause it's time for you to shine Brighter than a shooting star, so shine no matter where you are, tonight”
Unwritten- Natasha Bedingfield “I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way”
Try everything- Shakira (Zootropolis) “I won’t give up, no I won’t give in Till I reach the end And then I’ll start again Though I’m on the lead I wanna try everything I wanna try even though I could fail I won’t give up, no I won’t give in Till I reach the end And then I’ll start again No I won't leave I wanna try everything I wanna try even though I could fail”
Comfortably numb- Pink Floyd “Okay Just a little pinprick There'll be no more, ah But you may feel a little sick Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown The dream is gone I have become comfortably numb”
Amazing- Aerosmith “I kept the right ones out And let the wrong ones in Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins There were times in my life When I was goin' insane Tryin' to walk through The pain When I lost my grip And I hit the floor Yeah, I thought I could leave, but couldn't get out the door I was so sick and tired Of livin' a lie I was wishin' that I would die”
Heathens- Halestorm “Welcome to the room of people Who have rooms of people that they loved one day Locked away Just because we check the guns at the door Doesn't mean our brains will change from hand grenades You're loving on the psychopath sitting next to you You're loving on the murderer sitting next to you You'll think, "How'd I get here, sitting next to you?" But after all I've said, please don't forget All my friends are heathens, take it slow Wait for them to ask you who you know Please don't make any sudden moves You don't know the half of the abuse”
Look on down from the bridge- Mazzy Star “Look on down from the bridge There's still fountains down there Look on down from the bridge It's still raining, up here Everybody seems so far away from me Everybody just wants to be free"
Me- Paula Cole “And it's me who is my enemy. Me who beats me up. Me who makes the monsters. Me who strips my confidence. And it's me who's too weak, And it's me who's too shy to ask for the thing I love. And it's me who's too weak, And it's me who's too shy to ask for the thing I love. But I love I am walking on the bridge, I am over the water, And I'm scared as hell But I know there's something better. (Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know)”
Creep- Daniela Andrade “And I wish I was special You're so fuckin' special But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. I don't care if it hurts I want to have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul”
Seams- Devin Townsend “Come near me, relieve me Protecting my heart How crazy? ... completely. But that's all, that's all. ... That song Calm down, I'm falling apart at the seams”
Wake me up- Avicii “Feeling my way through the darkness Guided by a beating heart I can't tell where the journey will end But I know where to start They tell me I'm too young to understand They say I'm caught up in a dream Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes Well that's fine by me So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost”
Where will you go- Evanescence “I'm so sick of speaking words that no one understands Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone? I can hear you in a whisper But you can't even hear me screaming”
Girls! Girls! Girls!- Emilie Autumn “Come see our girls, crazy girls If you're willing to be thrilled, this is a hell of a ride Those girls, crazy girls They're hot, they're nuts, they're suicidal Tickets cheap, it's a crime And they're half price after 4 o' clock, so toss us a dime To see these lovely freaks of nature for a limited time Come see the girls, girls, girls”
Insanity- Oingo Boingo “My mind has wandered, from the straight and narrow My mind has wandered from the flock you see My mind has wandered, the man just said so My mind has wandered I heard it on TV And the flock has wandered away from me.”
Tornado- Jonsi “You grow, you roar Although disguised I know you You'll learn to know You grow, you grow like tornado You grow from the inside Destroy everything through Destroy from the inside Erupt like volcano You flow through the inside You kill everything through You kill from the inside You'll... You'll learn to know I wonder if I'm allowed ever to see I wonder if I'm allowed to ever be free”
Filistata- Stolen Babies “Crawling all over, behind ears and behind words When you are alone and you’re not one of the boys and girls You fall out of your web, dancing on a crooked ledge You’re falling of the edge Is someone going to end up dead? There is no cure I am my only curse No way (I’m sure) to get this spell reversed”
Before they knew- The butterfly effect “The answer's Always here Beneath your skin I'm not Coming down Does it feel like this? Sometimes When it all stops working Long before they knew Does it feel like this? Sometimes When the world stops turning around It's alright It's alright It's alright It's alright now”
Nice list :) There are so many songs, where lyrics and melody can be very touching, but cheering as well. Always depends on my mood, the situation etc, but all in all the lyrics are very important to me. I often end up in what is for others quite dark / sad music.
