What song hits home for you?

[dss262]

No Suprises by Radiohead had been a favorite of mine then I realized the lyrics pretty much speak my mind right now.
~ ♤ ~

"No Surprises"

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal

You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent

This is my final fit, my final bellyache with

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house, and such a pretty garden

No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises please (let me out of here)

limp bizkit chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavored water lyrics

Bring it on
Get the fuck up
Yeah
Check
One, two
Listen up
Listen up
Here we go (here we go)
It's a fucked up world (world)
A fucked up place (place)
Everybody's judged by their fucked up face
Fucked up dreams (dreams)
Fucked up life (life)
A fucked up kid with a fucked up knife
Fucked up moms (moms)
And fucked up dads (dads)
A fucked up cop with a fucked up badge
Fucked up job (job) with fucked up pay
And a fucked up boss is a fucked up day
Fucked up press
And fucked up lies (lies)
While Lethal's in the back with the fucked up eyes
Hey (it's on)
Everybody knows it's on
Hey (it's on)
Everybody knows it's on
Ain't it a shame that you can't say fuck? (fuck!)
Fuck's just a word and it's all fucked up
Like a fucked up punk (punk)
With a fucked up mouth (mouth)
A nine-inch nail get knocked the fuck out
Fucked up AIDS (AIDS) from fucked up sex (sex)
Fake-assed titties on a fucked up chest
We're all fucked up
So what cha wanna do
With fucked up me
And fucked up you?
You wanna fuck me like an animal
You like to burn me on the inside
You like to think that I am a perfect drug
Just know that nothing you do
Will bring you closer to me
Ain't life a bitch? (bitch)
A fucked up ditch (ditch)
A fucked up sore with a fucked up stitch
A fucked up head (head) is a fucked up shame
Swingin' on my nuts it's a fucked up game
Jealousy fillin' up a fucked up mind
It's real fucked up like a fucked up crime
If I say fuck two more times
That's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme
Hey (it's on)
Everybody knows it's on
Hey (it's on)
Everybody knows it's on
You wanna fuck me like an animal
You like to burn me on the inside
You like to think that I am a perfect drug
Just know that nothing you do
Will bring you closer to me
Listen up baby
You can't bring me down (bring me down)
I don't think so (I don't think so)
You better check yourself (check yourself)
Before you wreck yourself
Kiss my starfish, my chocolate starfish, punk
Kiss my starfish, my chocolate starfish
You wanna fuck me like an animal
You wanna burn me on the inside
You like to think that I am a perfect drug
Just know that nothing you do
Will bring you closer to me

XASTHUR - Prison of Mirrors

The prison of mirrors... we can't see,
Yet trapped we are... by its reflection,
It sees all fear and watches our downfall,
It will rip all lies and pride from the soul.
You are all... all that you hate,
Force fed memories, suffer humiliation,
Victim of darkness, of the inner hidden kind,
I am the eye within the gleam,
Shatter before a mirror that stares into (a shallow soul).
Poison yourself... revel in waste,
Poison yourself, in the name of evil... destroy yourself.
I will always be the reason to hate your self,
Mirrors... will oppress your mind,
And follow all... all that you hide,
Blind, step inside a subconscious warfare to guide the oblivious,
Mirrors of torture, unforgiving expose your sins,
Your suicide by the mirror's shattered blade.

I once smashed a mirror at work and held the sharpest piece to my neck. It was all so perfect, but as usual I bottled it.

 

[vinie]

Oh my god. Dan and Tim, Reunited by Fate by Have A Nice Life. I just love that song and its lyrics.

I feel so designed, so made to know
That there is no place in time in backwards-flow
And this is all there is
And I close my eyes, and I'm not depressed, or anything
I just close my eyes; this is all there is
I feel so designed, so made to know
I'm calling, and I'm calling, but not no one is
Standing at the river bank calling out my name
And I can feel the soil and silt
I'm calling and I'm calling like no one ever did
And I can feel my influence
Spreading out around me and living on my guilt
And I can feel how real it is
Saying, "We don't know anything."

About 15 years ago I recorded a cover of that song as it pretty much resonated with me but I changed the "let me out of here" to "live in reality".

I don't think I have the recording I made as it was such a long time ago and when I was dead set on ctb, ironically months before I was diagnosed with bipolar, I chucked all my CDRs with the recordings and hard disks.

Shame all that work got wiped out and also my vintage computer collection besides other things. I didn't want to leave my family with too much to dispose of. Then ironically the bipolar meds fixed me for a good long while. I guess I got a little too confident that from that point on I would be doing great for ever. Didn't last it seems :-(

I posted this somewhere else but I guess it fits here. I also covered this next one, but it's hitting home for me again. It's a lot more insightful and profound than the arrangement might suggest. The lyrics are the best bit for me.



If I give up the seat I've been saving
To some elderly lady or man
Am I being a good boy
Am I your pride and joy
Mother please if your pleased say I am
And if while in the course of my duty
I perform an unfortunate take
Would you punish me so, unbelievably so
Never again will I make that mistake

This feeling inside me could never deny me
The right to be wrong if I choose
And this pleasure I get
From say winning a bet
Is to lose

When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy
Eating more than enough apple pies
Will I glance at my screen and see real human beings starve to death
Right in front of my eyes

Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost,
Nothing further than proof nothing wilder than youth
Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
Nothing I couldn't say
Nothing why 'cause today
Nothing rhymed

This feeling inside me could never deny me
The right to be wrong if I choose,
And this pleasure I get
From say winning a bet
Is to lose

Nothing good, nothing bad, nothing ventured
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost,
Nothing further than proof nothing wilder than youth
Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
Nothing I couldn't say
Nothing why 'cause today
Nothing rhymed

I have mood swings. Their not extreme so it might be a mild form of bipolar. I've heard some people have to switch meds after a while. There could be something that will make you feel good again.

I have mood swings. Their not extreme so it might be a mild form of bipolar. I've heard some people have to switch meds after a while. There could be something that will make you feel good again.

It could be, so definitely worth getting it diagnosed if you haven't already :-) Getting the right meds can be life changing. In my case my usual pattern of moods was reversed. It was basically like I was constantly hypomanic and compared to the way things are now, it was wonderful. If you get a good doctor that helps you, try to hold onto them.

It's a bit of a difficult situation as I don't like the sound of other meds and I'm worried changing could send me sky high or rock bottom again. I'm mostly depressed for the time being with the odd all too brief (but desirable) highs. It's difficult to know just how well things are being controlled by my current meds if you see what I mean? Uncharted Territory I guess.

The horrendous experience I've had with medical professionals of late, has lead me to feel like I'm better off without them messing around with my brain chemistry. The added spanner in the works is the physical issues I'm having which I think don't help my mood to get up off the floor. :-(

First Love / Late Spring by Mitski stings so fucking hard for me

Wild women don't get the blues
But I find that
Lately I've been crying like a
Tall child

So please hurry leave me
I can't breathe
Please don't say you love me
胸がはち切れそうで

One word from you and I would
Jump off of this
Ledge I'm on
Baby

Tell me "don't"
So I can
Crawl back in

And I was so young
When I behaved
Twenty five

Yet now I find
I've grown into
A tall child

And I don't wanna go home yet
Let me walk to the top of the big night sky

Please hurry leave me
I can't breathe
Please don't say you love me

Chosen Last by Sarah Kays

Inside jokes that I never know but I
Still laugh until I cry
Group photos but I'm standing off to the side
I'm just camera shy
Always at the birthday parties
But never close to anybody
I've been chosen last since the kindergarten
Walk in the grass and it's disregarded
Fast walk to the lunch table
And pack up before I'm ready to go
I don't speak my mind, I just sit and listen
I'm there on time 'cause they won't know I'm missing
Sometimes I would rather stay home
Than show up to be ignored and alone
Carpool everywhere but there's never room
For me to go to
Ride my bike like all of us used to do
Oh, I don't have a clue
Why I'm at the birthday parties
When I'm not close to anybody
I've been chosen last since the kindergarten
Walk in the grass and it's disregarded
Fast walk to the lunch table
And pack up before I'm ready to go
I don't speak my mind, I just sit and listen
I'm there on time 'cause they won't know I'm missing
Sometimes I would rather stay home



Than show up to be ignored and alone
I've been chosen last since the kindergarten
Walk in the grass and it's disregarded
Fast walk to the lunch table
And pack up before I'm ready to go
I don't speak my mind, I just sit and listen
I'm there on time 'cause they won't know I'm missing
Sometimes I would rather stay home
Than show up to be ignored and alone

 

[Someone123]

The Boys of Summer by Don Henley - it just kills me when I get into it. I missed certain romantic opportunities when I was younger- I could have been happy for my whole life if I had seen how important a connection with a certain girl was- at the time there was a little drama and I got confused by it and it ruined my life that I didn't see what a great chance this was for me- the lines that really get me are:

"Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but...
I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got the top pulled down and the
Radio on, baby
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone"

You just can't believe that it's possible to get so confused by a situation with a girl and to not get it figured out until it's way too late.
If I met her again now it wouldn't matter, too many years have gone by and what could have been could never be.
I hope we can be friends in the next life, but I don't know if even that would be enough to heal the pain of knowing what might have been.

radiohead songs hit too close to home
between the bars by elliott smith

Drink up baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do
You won't but you might
The potential you'll be that you'll never see
The promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now
And forget all about the pressure of days
Do what I say and I'll make you okay
And drive them away
The images stuck in your head
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
Drink up baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again, between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time, and I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

 

[...]

be free, weyes blood:

It's sad to dream
It constantly seems
Like there's no light at the end of my tunnel
False dreams and promises
How do I get through to you?
Tried to do the best I could
Loved you just like a girl should
Somewhere I got stuck on you
It's just the two of us
And I want you to be free
Don't worry about me
I got my thing
Stay close to the edge and try to admit it
That you gave it away when you started to care and I cared
A long, long time of mine, I waited for you to come around
I found a one-way street, that's me
Still hanging on to set you free, make you believe
I'm yours
It's just the two of us
And I want you to be free
Don't worry about me
I got my thing
I will never fear when you're not with me

you know you're right by nirvana,, the lyrics plus the wailing vocals plus the background of the song recording itself,, like ouch man i really feel it all to another level

 

[DEATHYON]

I'm fucking tired of all the perks
I've tried nothing, everything works
For less I'm worth, I've served my bid
All fuck life wasn't what it is
All fuck life was just a bridge
I seen some free landed some tricks
Far I see high time man quit
Won't let you know when I get going
Phone ring too long

[Bridge]
Phone ring too long, I'm probably gone
Ring tone jingle my swan song
I'll show you how to leave well enough alone
I'm not this world this on cue world
I fall back, concoct new worlds
I fall out in throbbing swirls
I fall until I stop this world
I fall the fuck off this world

[Verse 1]
I live down the street from you
Noticed me, I've never seen you
Wonder what the fuck I do
Listen up, you nosy bitch, listen close
My most recent purchase, old black rope
Gonna learn how to tie it, hang it in my chamber
Perfect reminder, occult I'm made of
Come try it out whenever you wanna
Last night, 3:30 in the morning, Death on my front porch
Can feel him itching to take me with him, hail death
Fuck you waiting for
Like a question no one mention
He turns around, hands me his weapon
He slurs, "Use at your own discretion, it's been a pleasure, Stefan"
Head on like dead, on like grey
Death in your way, not in my way, I got my way
I was in my way, crept out my way, kept out my way
I'm on one like bae, you're on your way, way, way, way
Head on like dead, on like grey
Death in your way, not in my way, I got my way
I was in my way, crept out my way, kept out my way
I'm on one like bae, you're on your way, way, way, way

[Chorus]
I'm fucking tired of all the perks
I've tried nothing, everything works
For less I'm worth, I've served my bid
All fuck life wasn't what it is
All fuck life was just a bridge
I seen some free landed some tricks
Far I see high time man quit
Won't let you know when I get going
Phone ring too long

[Verse 2]
Don't you worry, impossible for anything to be a big deal
I'm in no weary, my vital post dated
But clearly been ages since life had appeal
Far more than fascination
My second nature chant kill cause I can
This body by my own hands
My friends and family won't understand
So I stay in the end, don't make none to me
If it wasn't for them, I'd make that decision
On GP
Had to do it all again, I'd make that decision
On GP

All the nights I don't die for you
Wouldn't believe how many nights I ain't died for you
On GP
Not that I care, I'd be a liar
If I sat here claiming I'd exit in a minute
But I can't say I wouldn't, I have my limits
All the nights I don't die for you
Wouldn't believe how many nights I ain't died for you
On GP
Not that I care, I'd be a liar
If I sat here claiming I'd exit in a minute
But I can't say I wouldn't, I have my limit
All the nights I don't die
(I'm fucking tired)

lana del rey ride long version
[Pre-Song]

I was in the winter of my life
And the men I met along the road were my only summer
At night I fell asleep with visions of myself dancing and laughing and crying with them
Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me
And my only real happy times

I was a singer
Not a very popular one
I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet
But upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky
That I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken
But I didn't really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is

When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing how I had been living, they asked me why, but there's no use in talking to people who have a home
They have no idea what its like to seek safety in other people
For home to be wherever you lie your head

I was always an unusual girl
My mother told me that I had a chameleon soul
No moral compass pointing due north
No fixed personality
Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean
And if I said I didn't plan for it to turn out this way I'd be lying

Because I was born to be the other woman
Who belonged to no one
Who belonged to everyone
Who had nothing
Who wanted everything
With a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn't even talk about it
And pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me

TUYU - Loser Girl

Someone please tell me
Am I not that good?
Meaning until I die I'd just become an inferior loser girl

I have worked very hard
But is that alone not enough?
Meaning until I die I'd just become an inferior loser girl

I want to become like her
Yet, I can't become like her

Brilliant deathless song, a deep favorite of this prisoner of regret, too.


Every time that I look in the mirror,
All these lines on my face getting clearer.
The past is gone.
It went by like dusk to dawn.


There's no chance for us.
It's all decided for us.
This world has only one sweet moment
Set aside for us.

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?

Who dares to love forever
When love must die?

But touch my tears with your lips,
Touch my world with your fingertips.

And we can have forever,
And we can love forever.
Forever is our today.

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today.


I tried so hard
And got so far,
But in the end,
It doesn't even matter.

I had to fall
To lose it all,
But in the end,
It doesn't even matter.

I have mentioned it before but Funeral Cry by Dark Sanctuary. I can relate to the lyrics a lot and I find the song calming to listen to. 'Death, close my eyes, stop my cries, misery, set me free.

MSI--It Gets Worse



Hey, you, baby
You don't know how bad it's gonna get
If you think shit sucks now
You ain't seen nothing yet
Because it doesn't get better unless you're pretty
It doesn't get better unless you got money
It doesn't get better, so just give up
It never gets better, no
It gets worse

Oh oh oh oh oh, woo hoo hoo
You're gonna die alone
Oh oh oh, shit yeah
It gets worse

Now I'm no psychiatrist, I'm no doctor with no degrees
But it don't take no fucking scientist to figure out that
There is nothing in this world for free
Because it doesn't get better
Unless you're pretty
It doesn't get better, unless you got money
It doesn't get better, so listen the fuck up!
It never gets better, it gets worse
You're gonna die alone
Oh oh oh shit yeah
It gets worse

You're going down the road, the same one that we have
We cannot wait to watch life kick you in your ass
I shed a little tear for all of you out there
There's no way to escape, there's no way to escape
Welcome to hell, welcome to hell, welcome to hell, welcome to hell
Welcome to hell, welcome to hell

Because it doesn't get better
Unless you're pretty
It doesn't get better
Unless you got money
It doesn't get better
So just give up
It never gets better
It gets worse

So long, cruel world
Oh oh oh shit yeah
It gets worse
It gets worse

The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared...

If we stay in topic

Death - Suicide Machine

Controlling their lives
Deciding when an how they will die
A victim of someone else's choice
The ones who suffer have no voice
Manipulating destiny

When it comes to living, no one seems to care
But when it comes to wanting out
Those with power, will be there
Prolong the pain
How long will it last?
Suicide machine
A request to die with dignity
Is that too much to ask?
Suicide Machine

How easy it is to deny the pain
Of someone else's suffering

Robbed of natural abilities
In death they now seek tranquility
In a confused state of mind
Extending agony, they must be blind
Manipulating destiny

When it comes to living, no one seems to care
But when it comes to wanting out
Those with power, will be there
Prolong the pain
How long will it last?
Suicide machine
A request to die with dignity
Is that too much to ask?
Suicide Machine

"If I had" by Eminem, just google the lyrics, can't put my feelings and thoughts in better words. So so relatable.
