What song describes how you're feeling?

Post by Licentia Poetica » Sun Mar 10, 2013 6:29 am

Songs are sometimes better at describing how we're feeling than we are.

So what song currently describes how you are feeling?

Visit the first "What song describes how you're feeling" thread started by Strange_Panda.

Stones by Barbarossa

Stones that I
Carry around

Every stone's
A story

It weighs me down


But there is gold
Hidden by rock and sand

I have to search
A little
Harder now

Sharp as a marble
These stones keep my feet on the ground


All this experience
Weighs me down

But there is gold
Hidden by rock and sand

I have to search
A little
Harder now

But there is gold
Hidden by rock and sand

I have to search
A little
Harder now
:redstar: the time to tell a person you care is now :redstar: the paper crane chain of hope :redstar:

And these fingertips
Will never run through your skin
And those bright blue eyes
Can only meet mine across the room
Filled with people that are less important than you


I miss my boyfriend, you know, being my boyfriend.
Dry your smoke-stung eyes so you can see the light. Staring at the sky watching stars collide.

Take a look around, don't you see it?
See that you are the only real face in the room
No one here has a clue what you're feeling
Don't feel bad, keep your sadness alive

Look at all these happy people, living their lives
Look at all these plastic people, there's nothing inside
Look at all these shallow people, telling their lies
Look at all these empty people, people

Don't you know that Misery loves company?
Yeah, I heard that Misery was looking for me
Happiness is a face that don't look good on me
Yeah, I heard that Misery comes looking for me

Woah, Misery's my company
Woah, Misery is looking for me
Looking for me

Their hands are up now, everybody's singing
Everybody's moving, they programmed their feelings
Let's sychronise it, and criticise it
Don't feel bad, keep your sadness alive

Look at all these happy people, living their lies
Look at all these plastic people, they're dying inside
Look at all these shallow people, telling their lies
Look at all these empty people, people

Don't you know that Misery loves company?
Yeah, I heard that Misery was looking for me
Happiness is a face that don't look good on me
Yeah, I heard that Misery comes looking for me

Woah, Misery's my company
Woah, Misery is looking for me

Don't you know this misery loves me?
Don't you know this misery loves me?
Don't you know this misery loves me?
Don't you know this misery loves me?

So you're tired of running
You're tired of hurting
You're tired of living in their lie
You're tired of listening
You're tired of hurting
Don't feel bad, keep your sadness alive, alive, alive

Don't you know that Misery loves company?
Yeah, I heard that Misery was looking for me
Happiness is a face that don't look good on me
Yeah, I heard that Misery comes looking for me

Don't you know that Misery loves company?
Yeah, I heard that Misery was looking for me
Happiness is a face that don't look good on me
Yeah, I heard that Misery comes looking for me

Woah, Misery's my company
Woah, Misery is looking for me

Asleep~The Smiths

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I`m tired and I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone

Don`t try to wake me in the morning
Cause I will be gone
Don`t feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don`t want to wake up on my own anymore
Don`t feel bad for me
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go

There is another world
There is a better world
There must be..
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

YUI - It's all too much ~Acoustic version~

Toki akasou to suru yori ~ Than try to figure out
Konkyo mo nai uranai no hou ga mashi ~ The truth hidden in my tears

Saikoro furu mitai ni kimete ~ I want to make choices like rolling a dice
Koukai nante dekinai hodo ~ And just move on to the next place
Tsugi no basho e to susunde itai ~ With no regrets

Aimai ni tsukurareta ruuru bukku ~ The rulebook was written so vaguely
Okubyou na bun dake deokurete ~ The more of a wimp I am, the further behind I fell
Raibaru no senaka mitsuzuketen da ~ And I just kept looking at my rival’s back
[...]
Semaru nandai sae mo ~ I want to make a joke
Yuumoa ni kaete ~ Of these difficult problems that are encroaching on me
Warai tobashitai ~ And laugh them off

I wouldn't wanna be anybody else, hey
You made me insecure, told me I wasn't good enough
But who are you to judge
When you're a diamond in the rough

I'm sure you got some things
You'd like to change about yourself
But when it comes to me
I wouldn't want to be anybody else

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
You got every right to a beautiful life, come on

Who says, who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's hurting
Trust me that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty
Who says you're not beautiful, who says?

It's such a funny thing
How nothing's funny when it's you
You tell 'em what you mean
But they keep whitin' out the the truth

It's like the work of art
That never get to see the light
Keep you beneath the stars
Won't let you touch the sky

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
You got every right to a beautiful life, come on

Who says, who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's hurting
Trust me that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty
Who says you're not beautiful, who says?

Who says you're not star potential
Who says you're not presidential
Who says you can't be in movies
Listen to me, listen to me

Who says you don't pass the test
Who says you can't be the best
Who said, who said?
Would you tell me who said that, yeah
Who said

Who says, who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's hurting
Trust me that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty
Who says you're not beautiful, who says?

Who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's hurting
Trust me that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty
Who says you're not beautiful, who says?

Down you fell, deep into your mind
Off to Wonderland, leaving what's real behind
You're a riddle I can't seem to read
Your love a fairy tale, too hard to believe

Broken and sad as the tarnish on your crown
Nowhere to go but down
Caught up in yourself, nowhere to be found
No other way but down

Down, down, down
Down, down, down

Say your farewell too what's real
Like the pain that you feel
Welcome to Wonderland (It's dead)

Eat me or drink me
Seeing is believing
Wonderland, baby,
It's all in your head

Your cup runs over with emptiness
Chasing the hare of your innocence
Hide behind your cheshire smile
Once was vivid, was gray all the while

Broken and sad as the tarnish on your crown
Nowhere to go but down
Caught up in yourself, nowhere to be found
No other way but down

Down, down, down
Down, down, down

Say your farewell too what's real
Like the pain that you feel
Welcome to Wonderland (It's dead)

Eat me or drink me
Seeing is believing
Wonderland, baby,
It's all in your head

(Blood on the Dance Floor: "Where's My Wonderland?")

"Bad Blood" - Batille

We were young and drinking in the park
There was nowhere else to go
And you said you always had my back
Oh but how were we to know


That these are the days that bind you together, forever
And these little things define you forever, forever


All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?

If we're only ever looking back
We will drive ourselves insane

As the friendship goes resentment grows
We will walk our different ways

But those are the days that bind us together, forever
And those little things define us forever, forever

All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?

And I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore
I don't wanna hear you talk about it anymore

I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore
I don't wanna hear you talk about it anymore

All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?

We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything." - Courtney Martin.

Hurt~Johnny Cash version

***************Trigger(maybe)**********************************










I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that`s real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt...
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

Don't you wanna go for a ride
Just keep your hands inside
And make the most out of life
Now don't you take it for granted

Life is like a mean machine
It made a mess outta me
It left me caught between
Like an angry dream I was stranded

And I'm steady but I'm starting to shake
And I don't know how much more I can take

This is it now
Everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now, you feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks
treasure
virtual hugs welcome.

This is embarrassing, but..."I Would" by One Direction.

Back in my head we were kissing
I thought things were going all right
With a sign on my back saying kick me
Reality ruined my life

Feels like I'm constantly playing
A game that I'm destined to lose
Cause I can't compete with your boyfriend
He's got 27 tattoos!

Would he say he's in L-O-V-E?
Well if it was me
Then I would (I would)
Would he hold you when you're feeling low?
Baby you should know
That I would!


Sigh. My celebrity crushes are getting ridiculous...

Sick Puppies - "What Are you Looking For"

I walk the line of the disappointed
I celebrate when I'm in pain
My heart and mind can be disjointed
I built a bed in this hole of mine
I recognise that I am damaged
I sympathise that you are too :tslug:
