What song describes how you're feeling?

[onlymeallalooone333]

Seventeen and strung out on confusion
Trapped inside a roll of disillusion
I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and dad will never understand

Secrets collecting dust but never forget
Skeletons come to life in my closet

I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and dad will never understand
What's happening to me

Seventeen and coming clean for the first time
I finally figured out myself for the first time
I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and dad will never understand
What's happened to me

'who needs shelter' by Jasom Mraz
(i've highlighted the parts that are very fitting, but really most of the song fits me right now...)

Good-day sunlight
I'd like to say how truly bright you are
You don't know me but I know you, see
You're my favorite star
Follow you I will so lets get moving

Who needs shelter when the mornings coming?
Absolutely there's no one
Who needs shelter from the sun?
Not me, no. not anyone.

By your clock the cock rooster crows
Then off to work where everybody goes
Slow, But eventually they get there
Picking up the day shift back where all left off
Confined and pecking at relationships
You know it's only a worthless piece of shit

Who needs shelter when the mornings coming?
Absolutely there's no one
Who needs shelter from the sun?
Not me, no. not anyone.

I'd sleep it all away but the sun wont let me
I'd miss those lovely days of summer

Good-day sunlight
I'd like to say how truly bright you are
You don't know me but I know you
You're my favorite.

[Catylyx]

Lips of an Angel -- Hinder



Honey why are you calling me so late
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey why are you crying is everything okay
I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girls in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And yes I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue
Well my girls in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those wordsa it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
(And I never wanna say goodbye)
But girl you make it so hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Honey why are you calling me so late


i can't help but think of how me and D were whenever we had broken up. i love him so much, and i'm so happy i'm with him again.

Delerium - Truly (featuring Nerina Pallot) Lyrics

I know good things, I know bad as well
Any witness of the
world can tell
If there is sorrow, then there is beauty and
trust
A secret pearl inside the heart of us...

So truly, there is light that I want to see baby
Now that
I know what I am living for
Truly, there is joy that I want
to feel baby
Here in this world is where I want to be
'Cause I can't cry anymore

And there is
magic now, under blood red trees,
All the sky will scream a
mystery
But if we're strangers here, from the day we
are born
Why be afraid of freedom if it is yours?

So truly, there is light that I want to see baby
Now that
I know what I am living for
Truly, there is joy that I want
to feel baby
Here in this world is where I want to be
'Cause I can't cry anymore

I can't
cry, anymore
I.....

All the world is calling,
calling out my name
All the world is saying it won't
be the same
All the sky is showing how it's gonna
be
But I'm scared and I'm tired of being like
me...

All the world is calling, calling out my
name
All the world is saying it won't be the same
All the sky is showing how it's gonna be
But
I'm scared and I'm tired of being like me...

So truly, there is light that I want to see baby
Now that
I know what I am living for
Truly, there is joy that I want
to feel baby
Here in this world is where I want to be

Truly, there is life that I want to see baby
Here
in this world is where I want to be
'Cause I
can't cry anymore

"My Blue Heaven" by Taking Back Sunday.


Two sides twist and then collide;
You're calling off the guards (Am I coming?)
I'm coming through. (Am I coming?)
Adulterous conditioned to a spin cycled submission,
You know, sometimes it just feels better to give in.
(Sometimes, it just feels better to give in.)

And it's all too familiar
And it happens all the time.
All the cards begin to stack up,
Twisting heartache into fine
Little pieces that avoid an awful crime,
But it's you I can't deny.
(You I can't deny.)

Dull heat rises from the sheets.
I'm both a patient boy,
Well, and a jealous man. (Am I coming?)
My double standardized suspicion
Is remedied, oh, my blue heaven,
Sometimes, it just feels better to give in.
(Sometimes, it just feels better to give in.)

And it's all too familiar
And it happens all the time.
All the cards begin to stack up,
Twisting heartache into fine
Little pieces that avoid an awful crime,
But it's you I can't deny.
(You I can't deny.)

We swing and we sway
As this tiny voice in
My head starts to sing
You're safe, child, you are safe.
(You're safe, child, you are safe.)
You're safe, child, you are safe.

We swing and we sway
As this tiny voice in
My head starts to sing
You're safe, child, you are safe.
You're safe, child, you are ..

safe (safe), safe (safe),
You are safe.

We swing and we sway
As this tiny voice in
My head starts to sing
You're safe, child, you are safe. (Am I coming?)
You're safe, child, you are safe. (Am I --)
Coming through?

Is this all too familiar?
Does it happen all the time?
I'm just asking you to hear me.
Could you please, just once, just hear me?
More then anything you wanted to be right.
Still it's you, you, it's you I can't deny.
(You I can't deny.)
It's you I can't deny.

Crawl ~ Alkaline Trio

Waking up zeroed in on medicine
Am I waking up at all today
Seeing lights, feeling pain
Theres my cure on ice
I can walk but I will crawl there
I will crawl there
Sitting straight, feeling faint
An exhausted smile screens my words
But I will hear them
Heres a phrase that we all know
But I cant make sense
I dont know words but I will hear them
I still hear them
Never ran away for the sake of scars
Tried not to move but she was armed
And shots were fired
Now a hole in the head of this wounded liar
Never had a drink that I didnt like
Got a taste of you, threw up all night
I got more sick
With every sour second rate kiss
Everything I never would miss again
I dont know who your boyfriend is

minus the bit about the girl[/b]

[tzanti]

This song sums me up so well. It's how I feel now, and most of the time.

Veteran of the Psychic Wars - Blue Oyster Cult

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure if there's anything left of me

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh, please don't let these shakes go on

You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence
Say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on dear
And there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever...
I can't say if we're ever gonna to be free

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh, please don't let these shakes go on

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy's spent at last
And my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons
and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Dare you say that this is victory?

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
And been sliding into hell
Oh, please don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on

I never figured out whether this song was about love or heroin. It has neither context for me. But shakes are a part of my life. My tremor is one constant thing in my life. I have good days with it and bad days, but it never changes with my mood, or with my emotions.

'Absolutely Zero' by Jason Mraz

You. You were a friend.
You were a friend of mine I let you spend the night.
You see, it was my fault. Of course it was mine.

I'm too hard at work.
Have you ever heard of anything so absurd ever in your life?
I'm sorry for wasting your time.

Who am I to say this situation isn't great?
When it's my job to make the most of it
Of course I didn't know that it would happen to me.
Not that easy.

Hey. What's that you say?
You're not blaming me for anything.
Well, that's great, but I don't break that easy.
Does it fade away?

So, that's why I'm ... I'm apologizing now
For telling you I thought that we could make it
I just don't get enough to believe that we've both changed.

See who am I to say this situation isn't great?
It is my time to make the most of it
Of course I didn't know that it would happen to me.
Not that easy, no.
No, no no.

If all along the fault is up for grabs,
Why can't she have it?
If it's for sale, what is your offer?
I will sell it for no less than what I bought it for.
Pay no more than absolutely zero.

Well, neither one of us deserves the blame,
Because opportunities moved us away.
It's not an easy thing to learn to play
A game that's made for two--that's you and me.
The rules remain a mystery.
See how it's easy?

So, who am I to say this situation isn't great?
When it's our time to make the most of it,
How could we ever know that this would happen to me?
Not that easy, no.
No ...

When all along the fault is up for grabs, and there you have it.
Well, it's for sale--go make your offer.
Will I sell it for no less than what I bought it for me?
Pay no more than absolutely zero?

[Peege]

Everything is broken
~ Bob Dylan

Broken lines, broken strings,
Broken threads, broken springs,
Broken idols, broken heads,
People sleeping in broken beds.
Ain't no use jiving
Ain't no use joking
Everything is broken.

Broken bottles, broken plates,
Broken switches, broken gates,
Broken dishes, broken parts,
Streets are filled with broken hearts.
Broken words never meant to be spoken,
Everything is broken.

Seem like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hit the ground

Broken cutters, broken saws,
Broken buckles, broken laws,
Broken bodies, broken bones,
Broken voices on broken phones.
Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin',
Everything is broken.

Every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces in my face

Broken hands on broken ploughs,
Broken treaties, broken vows,
Broken pipes, broken tools,
People bending broken rules.
Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking,
Everything is broken.

[steady hands]

"Giving Up" by Silverstein.


I used to make the light shine for you
The sun has left my sky
Velvet walls surround my sorrows
I've sacrificed my pride

Giving up on me (giving up on me)
You're giving up on me (giving up on me)
Giving up on me (giving up on me)
You're giving up on me


I've laid myself to sleep tonight
I know you've played out everything in your mind
and now you throw it all away
A shattered memory that you would stay through thick and thin with me


You're giving up on
Giving up on me (giving up on me)
You're giving up on me (giving up on me)
Giving up on me (giving up on me)
You're giving up on me

I've laid myself to sleep tonight
I know you've played out everything in your mind but I...
and now you throw it all away
A shattered memory that you would stay through thick and thin with me

And when you feel the pain
I'm wishing I could stay
How can I say I love you back?
You never made me happy

You've laid yourself to sleep
I never said this wouldn't hurt
You gave up everything
I never said I'd give it back

I know you'll never change
I won't be good enough for you
I know you'll make it through
I'll never be around to see

And now you throw it all away
A shattered memory that you would stay through thick and thin with me

You're giving up on me
You're giving up on me
You're giving up on me
You're giving up on me

[flipflopfetish]

Green Day ~ Prosthetic Head

I see you, down on the front line.
Such a sight for sore eyes, you're a suicide makeover.
Plastic eyes, lookin' through a numbskull.
Self-effaced, what's his face.
You erased yourself so shut up.
You don't let up.

You have a growth that must be treated
Like a severed severe pain in the neck.
You can smell it but you can't see it.
No explanation identified 'cause you don't know.
You don't say.
And you got no reply.

Hey you, where did you come from?
Got a head full of lead, you're a inbred bastard son.
All dressed up, red blood in a mannequin
Do or die, no reply, don't deny that you're synthetic.
You're pathetic.

[(*Haven*)]

Here By Me ~ 3 Doors Down

I hope you’re doing fine out there without me
‘Cause I’m not doing so good without you
The things I thought you’d never know about me
Were the things I guess you always understood

So how could I have been so blind for all these years?
Guess I only see the truth through all this fear,
And living without you…

And everything I have in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.

I can’t take another day without you
‘Cause baby, I could never make it on my own
I’ve been waiting so long, just to hold you
And to be back in your arms where I belong

Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
But everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love…

And everything I have in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.

As the days grow long I see
That time is standing still for me
When you’re not here

Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
Everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love

And everything I have in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.

And everything I have in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.

[VerMOZZica]

One of the songs that describes the way I`m feeling now is "Seasick Yet Still Docked by Morrissey

I am poor freezingly cold soul so far from where I intended to go

I think that line describes me very well.

The other is Asleep by the Smiths which has to be the saddest song I`ve ever heard

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
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
I wan`t you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go
There is another world
There is better world
well,there must be
well,there must be
well,there must be

bye bye

[MusicalMorphine]

Linkin Park - By Myself

What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily façade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (Myself)

I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then they'll take from me 'till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
(By myself)

I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

How do you think I've lost so much
I'm so afraid, I'm out of touch
How do you expect I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to

Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside

Every Day Is Exactly The Same
Nine Inch Nails

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around

Oh, no

[Chorus:]
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

[Chorus]

I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
Well I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I'm still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do

[Chorus x2]


Right Where It Belongs
Nine Inch Nails

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

[izz]

this is a really cool thread.

and i noticed some ani difranco songs... so i thought i'd add to it cuz ever since i first heard this song it felt like me.

it's called anticipate

you are subtle as the window pane
standing in my view
but i will wait for it to rain
so that i can see you
you call me up at night when there's no light passing through
and you think that i don't understand but i do

and we don't say everything that we could
so that we say later 'oh you misunderstood'
and i hold my cards up close to my chest
and i say what i have to and i hold back the rest

cuz someone you dont know is someone you dont know
get a firm grip girl, before you let go
and for every hand extended another lies in wait
keep your eyes on that one - anticipate

and dress down and get out there
pick a fight with the police
we will get it all on film for the new release
it seems like everyones an actor or they're an actor's best friend
i wonder what was wrong to begin with that they should all have to pretend
and we lose sight of everything when we have to keep checking our backs
i think we should all just smile come clean and relax

but he says
someone you dont know is someone you dont know
get a firm grip girl, before you let go
and for every hand extended another lies in wait
keep your eyes on that one - anticipate

and if there's anything i've learned all these years on my own
it's how to find my own way there
and how to find my own way home

you are subtle as the window pane
standing in my view
but i will wait for it to rain
so that i can see you
you call me up at night when there's no light passing through
and you think that i don't understand but i do

someone you dont know is someone you dont know
get a firm grip girl, before you let go
and for every hand extended another lies in wait
keep your eyes on that one - anticipate

edit: i'm adding another one, just cuz..

this is an obvious choice for the izz theme song

matchbox 20, unwell

All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something

Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why

[Chorus]

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be...me

I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind

[Chorus]

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away

[Chorus]

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell

One of These Mornings by Moby

One of these mornings
Wont be very long
You will look for me
And Ill be gone

[treasure]

i got my s/name 'treasure' just by making it up, but i found this and it echoes how i feel today.

The Cure - Treasure
She whispers
"Please remember me
When I am gone from here"
She whispers
"Please remember me
but not with tears...
Remember I was always true
Remember that I always tried
Remember I loved only you
Remember me and smile...
For it’s better to forget
Than to remember me
And cry"

Coldplay - The Scientist

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you i set you apart

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy, Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start
