I realize there are some fav music threads around here but what I want from you isn't necessarily your FAVORITE song but the one that makes you stop and think..."Wow. That was written for me." The one that tells us best about you. Share with us, please. And remember, I DON'T just want your FAVORITE song...I don't care if you HATE the band or some giant purple dinosaur sang it...if it FITS you then I'm interested!

If you have trouble then just share one that reflects you most recently.
 
After all you put me through
You'd think I'd despise you
But in the end I want to thank you
Because you made me that much stronger

When I, thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
I guess I, I couldn't trust
Called your bluff, time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out in shame, mmhmm

After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohhhh, ohh-yeah ah uhhhuh

Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard, you're going around
Playing the victim now
But don't, even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave

After all of the fights and the lies
Yes you wanted to harm me but that won't work anymore
Uh, no more, oh no, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
YOU-WON'T-STOP-ME

I am a fighter and I
I ain't gonna stop
There is no turning back
I've had enough

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighte

though i forget, but i, i remember
i remember, i remember
though i forget, but i, i remember
i remember, i remember

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Don't really like CA, but the song is bout me...
 
Thank you anna8. That says a lot. See? I already get you just a little bit more...but is there someone in particular that...did this for you? ???
 
I am seriously torn between 3...
Mad World from Donnie Darko
Coma White by Marilyn Manson
Imaginary by Evanescence...Hmmm...

I'll have to give this more thought...
 
there's a letter on the desktop
that i dug out of a drawer
the last truce we ever came to
in our adolescent war
and i start to feel the fever
from the warm air through the screen
you come regular like seasons
shadowing my dreams

and the mississippi's mighty
but it starts in minnesota
at a place that you could walk across
with five steps down
and i guess that's how you started
like a pinprick to my heart
but at this point you rush right through me
and i start to drown

and there's not enough room
in this world for my pain
signals cross and love gets lost
and time passed makes it plain
of all my demon spirits
i need you the most
i'm in love with your ghost

dark and dangerous like a secret
that gets whispered in a hush
(don't tell a soul)
when i wake the things i dreamt about you
last night make me blush
(don't tell a soul)
and you kiss me like a lover
then you sting me like a viper
i go follow to the river
play your memory like a piper

and i feel it like a sickness
how this love is killing me
i'd walk into the fingers
of your fire willingly
and dance the edge of sanity
i've never been this close
i'm in love with your ghost

unknowing captor
you never know how much you
pierce my spirit
but i can't touch you
can you hear it
a cry to be free
oh i'm forever under lock and key
as you pass through me

now i see your face before me
i would launch a thousand ships
to bring your heart back to my island
as the sand beneath me slips
as i burn up in your presence
and i know now how it feels
to be weakened like achilles
with you always at my heels

this bitter pill i swallow
is the silence that i keep
it poisons me i can't swim free
the river is too deep
though i'm baptized by your touch
i am no worse than most
in love with your ghost

you are shadowing my dreams

Ghost, Indigo girls!!!
song has so much meaning

Double Post (next time use the edit button!):

Ghost, By the Indigo Girls, I'd post the lyrics,
But it's kind of a long song 🙂
 
Wow Blake great song. GREAT SHARING GUYS! I have really enjoyed reading these so far...won't anyone else share? I think I decided that Mad world is great but Imaginary by Evanescence (which I'm sure most of you know by heart) is a song that applies to my entire life...but lately I have been on a major kick with Manson...

COMA WHITE
There's something cold and blank
behind her smile
she's standing on an overpass
in her miracle mile (coma):
"you were from a perfect world
a world that threw me away today
today to run away"
a pill to make you numb
a pill to make you dumb
a pill to make you anybody else
but all the drugs in this world
won't save her from herself
her mouth was an empty cut
and she was waiting to fall
just bleeding like a polaroid
that lost all her dolls (coma):
"you were from a perfect world
a world that threw me away today
today to run away"
a pill to make you numb
a pill to make you dumb
a pill to make you anybody else
but all the drugs in this world
won't save her from herself

And hey, it may very well be one of the only songs by them that I don't have to edit! 😛
 
"I'm not in love " by 10cc used to do that for me...

I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...

I like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...

I keep your picture
Upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...

Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time

I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not in love

..because, you see, he really was...
 
I do enjoy both of those songs,
Rayne do you know Into the void, by NIN
if you dig manson, that should be right up your alley
It's short and to the point

Talking to myself all the way to the station,
Pictures in my head of the final Destination,
All lined up all the ones that aren't allowed to stay,
Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away
Tried to save a place from the cuts and the scratches
Tried to overcome my complications and the catches
Nothing ever grows and the sun doesnt shine all day
Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away
 
God, Blake, that's beautiful. I love NIN but I don't recall that song...what album is that from?

BTW, Mr. Pointy...lol...she got you eh? That's so sweet.
 
harder to breathe- maroon 5


it is the best i love it soo much it is sooo cool i really understand it and it realtes to me sorta

yes kris i listen to rock music lol
 
Off hand, I think of Joni Mitchell's "From Both Sides Now". It doesn't have the type of music that I would typically like, I like her other stuff better... But the lyrics are amazing.

My impression is that it's about the way peoples perceptions change over time... The way we saw things as children as comparred to now are completely different- We see them from both sides of life. But despite all of our jadings and dissalusionments, we are still the same people inside.

I think that this song appeals to me, because I, like so many others, look back and although I am glad to sometimes have a better understanding of things and the intellect and thoughts to be able to question them, It was so much simpler to just accept things at face value, to be happy and not NEED to question things.

I'd probably go with 18 Wheeler by Pink. I mean, it's not her best work but it explain me a lot. If you put me down, I'm going to get right back up and walk on. Here's the chorus:

You can push me out the window
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won't give a fuck
You can hang me like a slave
I'll go underground
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can't keep me down
Click to expand...

Another would be Going Under by Evanescence. I'm not entirely sure what it's about, but I love it a lot. I'm not sure why, but I really relate to that song. Call my weird, I do it all the time. 😀
 
Beautiful explination Kindred...😉 I have to hear that song now.

Has anyone heard this song?

MAD WORLD
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, Going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, No expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, No tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
These dreams in which i'm dying, Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very"¦.
Mad World, Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And they feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me whats my lesson
Look right through me, Look right through me

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
These dreams in which i'm dying, Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very"¦.
Mad World, Mad World

I don't know what it is about this song but it makes my heart ache.
 
Thanks Rayne.... And no, haven't heard that song, I really like the lyrics though, don't know why, just because.

Also, another song that touches me is Michelle Branch's song "Goodbye To You", not the whole song, just the one line:

"it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time"

I've felt like this so many times throughout my life, there are so many things that you want to do, but at the same time, you just want to be you and be innocent and do simple things that mean nothing and everything... To do everything you've ever wanted, but being to scared to do anything.....

~Kindred
 
I don't think I've ever thought about anything that deep ever before ... I've reached a milestone. Thank you. 😀
 
I hear ya Kindred...that's where I am most of the time. Thank you for sharing yet another beautiful thought!
 
Well..Every time i start goin with someone that i really like alot, and he seems like a nice guy, but after a while he turns into angelus..A jerk..Ask rene...Ask Angels baby101...Ask...Me...I find the jerkest of guys...Are there any songs like that?Also, i am having trouble getting over my -ex- because every time i almost forget about him, he makes me remember!

i think simple plan perfect for the jerk part and addicted by simple plan for the -ex- part!
----------------
Perfect:
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
Do you think i'm wasting my time
Doing things I wanna do?
'Cuz it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that I'm all right
and you can't change me

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing last for ever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
----------------------
Addicted

I heard you're doing ok
But I want you to know
I'm a dick
I'm addicted to you
I can't pretend I don't care
When you don't think about me
Do you think I deserve this?

I tried to make you happy but you left anyway

I'm trying to forget that
I'm addicted to you
But I want it and I need it
I'm addicted to you
Now it's over
can't forget what you said
and I never wanna do this again
Heartbreaker

Since the day I met you
And after all we've been through
I'm still a dick
I'm addicted to you
I think you know that it's true
I'd run a thousand miles to get you
Do you think I deserve this?
 
(oh, i love "Mad World", that would have been one of my choices, but here's another one)
"Seasick, Yet Still Docked"
by Morrissey

I am a poor freezingly cold soul
So far from where
I intended to go
Scavenging through life's very constant lulls
So far from where I'm determined to go

Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love
There is no way ...
Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love
But you see, I've got no charm
Mmm...

Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold
Oh, this is very clear to you
And you can tell I have never really loved
You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day

And all of my life no-one gave me anything
No-one has ever given me anything
My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye
You must be such a fool
To pass me by
