lyrics that resonate ?

[MisterOGBongWater]

I love music. its one of the main things i use to identify and understand my emotions. one of my favorite lyrics comes from a song by Lil Peep, Praying to the Sky.




I hear voices in my head, they tellin' me to call it quits
I found some Xanax in my bed, I took that shit, went back to sleep
They gon' miss me when I'm dead, I lay my head and rest in peace
I'm prayin' to the sky, I don't even know why, man

 

[prana]

A lot, lol.

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain

----

Seems like everyone's cut me free
And left me to the tender cares of my faceless enemy

---
If you get there before me
Would you save me a seat
If you get there before me
Would you save me a seat
And if I never get there at all
Would you leave the seat empty?

---
My name is Marshall Mathers, I'm an alcoholic
I have a disease and they dunno what to call it

 

[like-spoiledmilk]

Cliche, maybe, but Mitski has my heart

I am a forest fire
And I am the fire and I am the forest
And I am a witness watching it
I stand in a valley watching it
And you are not there at all

 

[annointed_towers]

I used to float
Now I just fall down
I used to know
But I'm not sure now
Just what I was made for
What was I made for?

those ones are beautiful

ever listened to pheobe bridgers?


"i buried a hatchet its coming up lavander,

the futures unwritten
the past is a corridor

im at the exit, looking back through the hall
You are Anonymous, i Am a Concrete Wall."

Cliche, maybe, but Mitski has my heart

I am a forest fire
And I am the fire and I am the forest
And I am a witness watching it
I stand in a valley watching it
And you are not there at all

my ex LOVES mitski lol. thats a beautiful section from that song

I used to float
Now I just fall down
I used to know
But I'm not sure now
Just what I was made for
What was I made for?

Billie Eilish, What Was I Made For?

love this song by her. made me cry when i heard it for the first time

 

[No More Tears]

No More Tears- Ozzy Osbourne




The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back
The man in the dark will bring another attack
Your momma told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers
Look in the mirror, tell me, do you think you life's in danger, yeah?

 

[jyko]

Did you think you could win? And fill me in?
Did you think you could do it again? I'm not your sin
I was all that you wanted and more, but you didn't want me
I was more than you thought I could be
So I'm setting you free, I'm setting you free
You've killed the saint in me
How dare you martyr me
You've killed the saint in me
Oh, I'll never kill myself to save my soul
I was gone, but how was I to know?
I didn't come this far to sink so low
I'm finally holding on to letting go

slipknot- unsainted

 

[secretariat]

Cliche, maybe, but Mitski has my heart

I am a forest fire
And I am the fire and I am the forest
And I am a witness watching it
I stand in a valley watching it
And you are not there at all

i love mitski too!

i think her song, "my body's made of crushed little stars" resonates with me the most currently but her lyricism in "class of 2013" is great!

"Mom, I'll be quiet
It would be just to sleep at night
And I'll leave once I figure out
How to pay for my own life too

Mom, would you wash my back?
This once, and then we can forget
And I'll leave what I'm chasing
For the other girls to pursue

Mom, am I still young?
Can I dream for a few months more?"

(Class of 2013)

 

[No More Tears]

Sorry, just so many I could go on and on...

The Gunner's Dream- Pink Floyd

Floating down, through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now
But in the space between the heavens
And the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream
I had a dream

The Final Cut- Pink Floyd

And if I show you my dark side
Will you still hold me tonight?
And if I open my heart to you
And show you my weak side
What would you do



Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but...
Just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut

Ok, don't say I didn't warn you! I'm also an old fart, so most my tunes are classic rock.

Poison - Alice Cooper

I hear you calling and it's needles and pins (and pins)
I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don't wanna touch you, but you're under my skin (deep in)
I wanna kiss you, but your lips are venomous poison


Sound of Silence - Disturbed

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams, I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls
In tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence

no hate to old timers. ill get there eventually lol.

something from my generation, Dream Ivory - Welcome and goodbye

"Through it all once again
Came to know my only friend
Lost control
Can't begin, I seek within
To feel the warmth brought within your skin
Did you know
For how it seemed
I should've stayed and let you be
Run into my heart so carelessly
That's the reason I'm afraid
You're the thought that can't be tamed
And I'm trying to be sane"

 

[Felodese]

There are so many. These are the two full songs that first comes to mind.

Fade to Black - Metallica

Life it seems will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else

I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly loss, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel

Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me but now he's gone

No one but me can save myself but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye


And All That Could Have Been - Nine Inch Nails

Breeze still carries the sound
Maybe I'll disappear
Tracks will fade in the snow
You won't find me here

Ice is starting to form
Ending what had begun
I am locked in my head
With what I've done
I know you tried to rescue me
Didn't let anyone get in
Left with a trace of all that was
And all that could have been

Please
Take this
And run far away
Far away from me
I am tainted
The two of us
Were never meant to be
All these pieces
And promises
And left-behinds
If only I could see
In my nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me

Gone, fading
Everything
And all that
Could have been
Could have been

Please
Take this
And run far away
Far as you can see
I am tainted
And happiness
And peace-of-mind
Were never meant for me
All these pieces
And promises
And left-behinds
If only I could see
In my nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me

 

[cracklingroses]

I've been livin' for the moment
But I just can't have my way
And I'm afraid to go to sleep
'Cause tomorrow is today

People tell me life is sweeter
But I don't hear what they say
Nothing comes to change my life
So tomorrow is today

I don't care to know the hour
'Cause it's passing anyway
I don't have to see tomorrow
'Cause I saw it yesterday

So I listen for an answer
But the feeling seems to stay
And what's the use of always dreaming
If tomorrow is today, oh

Still I'm waiting for the morning
But it feels so far away
And you don't need the love I'm giving
So tomorrow is today

Oh, my, I'm goin' to the river
Gonna take a ride and the lord will deliver me
Made my bed, I'm gonna lie in it
If you don't come, sure gonna die in it
Too late, too much given
I've seen a lot of life and I'm damn sick of livin' it
I keep hopin' that you will
Pass my way
And some day if your dreams are leavin' you
I'll still believe in you

I don't care to know the hour
'Cause it's passing anyway
I don't have to see tomorrow
'Cause I saw it yesterday

Though I'm living and I'm singing
And although my hands still play
Soon enough it will all be over
'Cause tomorrow is today - Tomorrow is Today by Billy Joel

 

[lovedread]

These are corny picks
"I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
All I've got to keep myself sane, baby
So I just ride, I just ride
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone at midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride…"
Lana Del Rey

"Am I your dream girl?
You think of me in bed
But you could never hold me
And like me better in your head
Make me evil, then I'm an angel instead
At least you'll sanctify me when I'm dead
Dream girl evil, dream girl evil
Dream girl evil, dream girl evil
Did I disappoint you?
Did mommy make you sad?
Do I at least remind you
Of every girl that made you mad?
Make me perfect, make me your fantasy
You know I deserve it
Well, take it out on me…"
Florence + The Machine

"Out of the zone, now that I see
I don't need them and they don't need me
I guess I'll go home, try to be sane
Try to pretend, none of it happened
Destined to be, lonely old me
Whoops-a-daisy, I thought I was happy, oh
Ah, why won't they talk to me? (I thought I was happy, oh)"
Tame Impala

"Jesus called me collect last night
It took all of me not to answer it
Daddy warned me the perils of play
Hard to deal with God and his standards
Flying high and fearless baby
I've kissed death a thousand times before
Remember me for who I was not who I am
I'll pray you'll never understand this
Sweet, sweet, sweet November…"
SZA

"We end our day up on the roof
I say I'll jump, I never do
But when I'm drunk, I act the fool
Talking 'bout, "Do they sew wings on tailored suits?"
I'm on that ledge, she grabs my arm, she slaps my head
It's good times, yeah
Sleeve rips off, I slip, I fall
The market's down like 60 stories
And some don't end the way they should
My silver spoon has fed me good
A million one, a million cash
Close my eyes and feel the crash…"
Frank Ocean

 

[Abyssal]

"Everybody want to be a cat"

from that one song in the aristocats idk the name though. Meow meow meow

 

[Forever Sleep]

'Here's where the story ends...'

(Here's Where the Story Ends' by the Sundays.)

'Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time
There's something wrong here there can be no denyin'
One of us is changin' or maybe we've just stopped tryin'
And it's too late baby now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide and I just can't fake it...'

(It's Too Late by Carole Cole)

'Sometimes everything is wrong...'

(Everybody Hurts by REM)

'You don't know how you got here
You just know you want out
Believing in yourself
Almost as much as you doubt...'

(Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me by U2.)

And, when I need to encourage myself to keep going:

'Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away...

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on 'till the end...'

(If We Hold onTogether by Diana Ross.)

 

[maidens]

"Ah, even if I went back to humanity's first day, there would be no memories there, right?
I'd just be that much sadder, so have a laugh on me
Even if I went back to humanity's first day, I wouldn't have the qualifications to live
I've become a bit weak

I realized it, hold my hand
I reached it, you don't need me, right?
I've been dirtied; please, somehow, give me as much love as I can take

Even if I lit a perfect final flame, it would still be painful, wouldn't it?
To be honest, I remembered I wanted to try blooming
I've reached it at last, a love that mimicked the truth

Ah, even if I came to love humanity in the end, there'll be no proof I was ever here, right?
I'm sure I'm not worthy of it, but still, remember me
Even if I cried alone 99 times, there won't be a 100th time, right?
I've finally found myself
And so love has come to an end

See you, monster who was born into this most beloved world
Wearing the most triumphant expression of my life, I've now become one with the world"

slow downer - rokuro

 

[MisterOGBongWater]

I told you that I have it
So I've got it bro, it's fine
Walked the thin & narrow, but I still might cross the line
You're waiting for the perfect moment, any moment's fine
I'm still trying to figure out if two wrongs make a right
This city's full of no ones, I blend in, I'd like to think
The way you tell your stories, I think lying is your kink
I don't need none to drink, pour that shit straight down the sink
It's only me in here, so why's it still so hard to think?
No one's fine, it's a blue valentines
I can't hide, I'm the catcher in the rye
I can't stay, I just can't leave you behind
It's only me, only me

 

[SomePeacePlease]

Every word of the song "Sincerely, your son" resonates with me.

Yeah, where do I start?
Feel like I'm losing myself
I know I am messed up inside
But how am I wrong for refusing to help?
I feel like I can't be fixed
Maybe I am stuck in the dark
I don't think all the pills can fix the pain in my heart
So I guess its' pointless


I lay in the dark in my sorrow, today I just gave it my all, but there isn't enough for tomorrow.
'Cause I'm tired of the pain, and I'm tired of fightin'
Just tell me what it is worth
To give my all to these people for me to be selfless
Just to be filled with this hurt.


What is thе point?
'Cause I can't see anymore
I feel like thеre is no point in living my life 'cause I'm not me anymore
And they say it gets better but it's been forever so I don't think I believe it
It probably get better when time, but now I won't be here to see it


But please don't be mad
It's not that I'm weak I'm just tired
I wish my heart wasn't broken, 'cause then I could work on my mind
But life isn't fair I know, and not being happy is killin' me
I try to be vocal, they listen
But i don't think that you're hearing me
I hate that I'm broken
I hate that I'm stupid
I hate that I feel like a mistake
I hate when i am talking to God, I feel like he don't listen to when i pray


I hate that I look in the mirror and i hate the man lookin' back
I hate that I'm so insecure
I just wish you'd understand


Mama if you listen, please don't be mad
I know what i am doing ain't right
Your son isn't perfect
I am not a fighter, I want you to know that I tried
I want you to know that I love you
But lately I don't feel like me
It was nothing that you did, you did what you could
It's something that is wrong with me


Since I was young, I have always felt like this
I never thought that I belonged
And this isn't because I'm depressed, it's 'cause I feel so alone
Its' 'cause I feel like a burden
I am always living with grief
I've always felt like a problem, that's why everyone leaves


But really, I'm sorry
I know you wanted what's best for me
The world has been takin' my soul
But I leave you everything left in me
I love you forever and always
To the moment you know I am gone
That moment is sooner than later
I love you, sincerely your son

a German musician:
Purple Schulz - Sehnsucht (Longing)
Purple Schulz - Sehnsucht
Lyrics in english:

Rain falls, cold wind

Sky grey, woman hits child

No nerves and so alone

This can't be paradise

Men come home tired

The cold soul flies out

Child has to cry, child has to scream

Screaming makes you tired, child falls asleep

I'm homesick

Wanderlust

Longing

I don't know what it is...

No stars in the night

Small child has woken up

Child asks where the stars are

Oh, what do I know, my child...

Is the big sulphur moon

actually inhabited by whom?

Why is the sky empty?

Is there no one up there anymore?

I'm longing...

I just want to get away

Far away

I want out!!!

Why did you give birth to me?

Before I got there, I was already lost

Land of the executioners - no man's land

Paradise has burned down

I'm homesick

Wanderlust

Longing

I don't know what it is...

I just want to get away

far away

I want to get away

far away

I want to get out!!!!

Sound of Silence - Disturbed

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams, I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls

And whispered in the sound of silence

Love the Disturbed version of Sound of Silence.. but it was Simon and Garfunkel that wrote the lyrics :-)

There are so many. These are the two full songs that first comes to mind.

[sorrowful]

The Smiths - I Know It's Over

Oh, mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well, enough said
I know it's over, still I cling
I don't know where else I can go, over

Oh, mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me?

Sad veiled bride, please, be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
Though she needs you more than she loves you
And I know it's over, still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over, over and over
Over and over

I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart, it was so real
And you even spoke to me and said

If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very good looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight?
I know
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms

It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over

Love is natural and real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is natural and real
But not for such as you and I, my love

Oh, mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh, mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Born to suffer - Xiu Xiu

"I don't want to talk
I wish I were dead

born to suffer
you are embarrassed by this thought
and with that all your dreams are gone
fall apart
try not to cry in public
try not to cry in public
try not to cry in the shower
and try not cry at the clinic"
