Your Songs

[Cast No Shadow]

Do you have any songs that really relate to you? A song that makes you think, "OMG, were you stalking me? How do you know my life?"

For me, it's Love the Way You Lie, with Eminem and Rihanna.

Everyone has their problems 🙂

 

[spikecakes]

You're on a roll with the threads 😉

When You Were Young - The Killers
Starin' Through My Rearview - Tupac

I have strange music tastes. But they sum me up, with my small issues and big thoughts. Baha.

 

[Ms.Trick]

Well, when I'm going crazy studying an exam (like say, economy) and I the time to pass the exam approaches and I panic, Apocalypse please from Muse sounds like written for me:

Declare this an emergency
Come on and spread a sense of urgency
And pull us through
And pull us through

And this is the end, the end
This is the end
Of the World

And it's time we saw a miracle
Come on it's time for something biblical
To pull us through
And pull us through

And this is the end, the end
This is the end
Of the World

Proclaim eternal victory
Come on and change the course of history
And pull us through
And pull us through

And this is the end, the end
This is the end
Of the world

Story of my life!

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

You really couldn't find four more perfect lines to define me.

 

[white avenger]

This is mine. It's old, from a bygone, we liked to think, gentler time. But then, so am I.

Every word of this sums me up, pretty much.

Taylor Swift - Just South of Knowing Why

She didn’t have a reason to go, oh no
She didn’t have a reason to stay
Either way she didn’t tell anyone about her first ray of sun,
She looked at her keys and found a reason to run

And time stands still, when you’re nowhere bound,
but i understand it somehow

If i could drive all night
Would i find my peace of mind
Would it be a million miles of cold white lies
an unfamiliar exit sign
If i just drive on by,
Just south of knowing why

I didn’t really know her that well,
but i could tell that her smile was only something to hide behind.
She felt so out of touch, just felt too much
If you don’t know what you want, nothing's ever enough

And time stands still, when you’re nowhere bound,
thats where i’m headed right now

If i could drive all night
Would i find my peace of mind
Would it be a million miles of cold white lies
an unfamiliar exit sign
If i just drive on by,
Just south of knowing why
I don’t have a plan
I don’t have a map
I don’t even know if i’m ever going back
I don’t have a when
and I don’t have a where
I don’t even know if i’m knowing i’m there

And time stands still, when you’re nowhere bound,
but i understand it somehow

But If i could drive all night
Would i find my peace of mind
Would it be a million miles of cold white lies
an unfamiliar exit sign
If I just drive on by,
Just south of knowing why

I just drive on by
Drive on
Drive on
Drive all night

If I could drive on
Drive on
Drive on
Drive all night
Just south of knowing why

Bolded emphasis mine

Taylor Swift- The Diary of Me

I’m a laid back
T-shirt, blue jean, mood ring
Kinda girl
Hey yeah what’s the word on you
Lay low I’m a mission rebel
Angel devil
Little left of the middle,
Sometimes I get temper mental

But here I am an open book
Turn the page it’s all the rage
Get a look on the inside
Oh what you get is what you see
Baby you hold the key
To the diary of me

I’m poetry, complicated
Simply stated
Hey yeah baby how about you
I was born free
I’m a cell phone hippie
Are you with me?
When I mess up I don’t get up
I just get down yeah
But here I am an open book
Turn the page it’s all the rage
Get a look on the inside
Oh what you get is what you see
Baby you hold the key
To the diary of me

It’s raining on Sunday
There’s nothing on TV
Yesterday was lonely
You’re the only one who gets me
My mind is like an island
Drifting through the ocean
I can’t stop thinking about you
I bet you’re thinking of me too

Well here I am an open book
Turn the page it’s all the rage
Get a look on the inside
Oh what you get is what you see
Baby you hold the key
To the diary of me
Yeah here I am an open book
Turn the page it’s all the rage
Get a look on the inside
Oh what you get is what you see
Baby you hold the key
To the diary of me

Again, bolded emphasis mine.

Those two are like me in a nutshell. 🙂

I'm a huge Stone Roses fan, seen The Clone Roses live, Complete Stone Roses live, and Ian Brown promoting his album. Ian Brown wasn't too nice though :/

 

[OhWow]

The Used-Blue and Yellow
Needtobreathe- Something Beautiful
And of course plenty Linkin Park songs.

[Abbeycat]

Theres a girl
Who sits under the bleachers
Just another day eating alone
And though she smiles
There is something she's hiding
And she cant find a way to relate
She just goes unnoticed
As the crowd passes by
And she'll pretend to be busy
When inside she just wants to cry
She'll say...

Chorus:
Take a little look at the life of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little harder, I really really want you to put yourself in her shoes
Take another look at the face of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little closer and maybe then you will see why she waits for the day
When you'll ask her her name

In the beginning, in the first weeks of class
She did everything to try and fit in
But the others they couldn't seem to get past all the things that mismatched on the surface
And she would close her eyes when they laughed and she fell down the stairs
And the more that they joked
And the more that they screamed
She retreated to where she is now
And she'll sing...

Chorus:
Take a little look at the life of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little harder I really really want you to put yourself in her shoes
Take a little look at the face of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little closer and maybe then you will see why she waits for the day that you will ask her...her name

And one day just the same as the last
Just the days spent in counting the time
Came a boy who sat under the bleachers just a little bit further behind...

"Miss Invisible" By Marie Digby

I felt this way a lot. And even now, I sometimes feel that way.

"Nobody's Home" Avril Lavigne.

I would listen to this song on repeat. So much of it, I could relate. I was like I can relate to the 'her' that Avril is singing about. Wow.

"How I feel" Alexz Johnson (She wrote it for her show, Instant Star)

Did you just waste your breath
Asking me how I feel today
Or do you really want to know

I'm completely unconnected
Constantly rejected
Like everything I've ever loved is coming down
I'm drowning in emotion
In the middle of the ocean
Never knowing when it's over and I'm going down

That's how I feel

Then you see me
You say you don't even know me
Couldn't pick me out of a line now
The girl you know is so far-gone
And I'm in hiding
Living life undercover
Smiling face for the camera
I'm not long for this world

 

[Tome]

YES! The song that most defines me, which I've first heard when I was 12 and loved ever since then is:

[sisterofmercy]

Yeah I've often heard that about Ian Brown. Never actually gone to see a tribute band but I've heard that there are some good ones out there (The Smiths Indeed are meant to be good).

I keep holding out for a Stone Roses reunion, there were rumours about it a little while ago but I guess it's not happening yet 🙁

 

[NY State of Mind]

I have too many to name but the whole Illmatic album by Nas is pretty good...I did take my name from the lead song on the album

I love this song because the it's about coming to terms with who you are and being ok with it: you like things that are innocent and good for you, and things that are bad for you, but you just hope people can accept you and just be kind even if you're a mess. I love this arrangement by FSU's All Night Yahtzee.

This song describes in perfect detail me dealing with my mom's alcoholism growing up.

Sometimes in the morning I am petrified and can't move
Awake but cannot open my eyes
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs
I know I can't breathe
And hope someone will save me this time
And your mother's still callin you insane and high
Swearin it's different this time
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
That god never blessed her insides
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things
Crawl back into bed to dream of a time
When your heart was open wide and you love things just because
Like the sick and dying

And sometimes when you're on
You're really ****in on
And your friends they sing along
And they love you
But the lows are so extreme
That the good seems ****in cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absence
But you'll fight and you'll make it through
You'll fake it if you have to
And you'll show up for work with a smile
You'll be better
And You'll be smarter
And More grown up and a better daughter or son
And a real good friend
And you'll be awake
You'll be alert
You'll be positive though it hurts
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
And you'll be a real good listener
You'll be honest
You'll be brave
You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful
You'll be happy

Your ship may be comin in
You're weak but not givin in
To the cries and the wails of the valley below
And your ship may be comin in
You're weak but not givin in
And you'll fight it you'll go out fightin all of em

Man, this song it's just spot on with how I dealt with my mom's drinking. I didn't just try to fake being happy, I was honest, and brave, and happy. Such a good song.

 

[charmedones193]

[zobothehobo]

Kean agrees: Really? Can I ask why it was your song? I'm betting we took totally different things from it lol

We probably did. haha It really sums up how I felt about my sister growing up. She was perfect, she was special, she was Maya. And I sucked. I wanted to be different, I wanted to be her. I remember sitting in my room throwing things at pictures of her blasting this song. That sounds awful, I know... but I was pretty messed up. Every word of that song describes how I felt about my sister and my life.
