Discussion Which song describes your struggles best?

[Sadbrains]

I actually have a playlist full of songs that relate so closely to me, but here is one.

 

[HopelessSoul]

Free me from this world... I dont belong here

 

[Toy]

 

[beyondgone]

 

[LaVieEnRose]

All I really want by Alan is Morissette

 

[junko]

"Sober Haha Jk Unless" by Hospital Bracelet, honestly. Top choice.

"Teen Idle" by Marina and the Diamonds also works. "Drunk Walk Home" by Mitski for the necessary 'Im mentally ill and love Mitski' moment

As for where I am now and how I'm feeling, it's gotta be "Snuff" by Slipknot.

Sorry for the full playlist! I just couldn't pick one.

 

[CuteThing]

probably these things take time by the smiths(the david jensen recording is superior), it describes my situation sooo well and its a great song

 

[w@yn3sw0rld]

For me it's At The Bottom by Leprous. Especially the lines:

I'm back to where
I was when this began
Stranded in the uncharted
Will I ever be the same?

The song is about being at your lowest, slowly getting better only to fall down again right where you started. Leprous is my favorite band,, their songs are so relatable.

Girl anorchinism by dressin dolls!!!

 

[LocalMistake]

the whole song is a mood but mostly the chorus tho:

the voices in my head keep on telling me i'm gonna die,
and i don't want to talk about the drama, i'm tramtized,
they're telling me i'm fine but we both know thats a fucking lie
im losing my mind, but i don't want to talk about it

this song is something i relate to a lot

the whole song is a mood but mostly the chorus tho:

and i don't want to talk about the drama, i'm tramtized,
they're telling me i'm fine but we both know thats a fucking lie
im losing my mind, but i don't want to talk about it

falling in reverse is such an amazing band

 

[𖣴 nadia 𖣴]

I don't listen to rap usually but I'd say Castle On A Cloud, and the beginning and middle part of Cleaning Out My Closet by Angel Haze. Those two songs probably come the closest.

 

[Sluggish_Slump]

Of Monsters And Men - Black Water
idk I just like the song, I think it can describe anyone who's currently overwhelmed by circumstances

 

[CompleteControl]

Under Saturn's Shadow by Tiger Army

 

[InaudibleEcho]

I have two.

Coin-Operated Boy by the Dresden Dolls
"I will never cry at night again, wrap my arms around him and pretend"
"And I'll never be alone
And I'll never let him go
And I'll never be alone, go"*

Teen Idle by MARINA
"I wanna stay inside all day, I want the world to go away"
"The wasted years, the wasted youth"

*I could go on and on about how much this part resonates with me

 

[sunsh1n3]

Leader of the Landslide by The Lumineers

 

[loyalskateboard]

I know you're talking about a completely different song but my mind went straight to Castle On A Cloud from Les Misérables

Anyway, I can't pick just one song so I'll throw lyrics in spoilers and you can choose whether or not to read them.

Spoiler: Dear Inner Child - Peach PRC

Someone kissed my closing eyelids
And I made it mean more than it did
And someone put a plate down a little too loud
Now I still flinch whenever I hear the sound

As I'm getting older
I learned my mama was just trying her best
And not that I owe her forgiveness
But I'm sorry to that girl in a dress

So if you wanna wear pink, I'll wear it for you
And if you wanna dance, then I'll strap up my shoes
And if you wanna sing, then consider it sung
I'm sorry that you had to grow up this young

Forget that love is earned 'cause it's always deserved
I know you had to work just to show them your worth
Remember that a plate is nothing but a plate
Even if it breaks we can throw it away

As I'm getting older
I learned that I was only trying my best
And I think I owe her a deep breath
She was the strongest little girl in a dress

So if you wanna wear pink I'll wear it for you
And if you wanna dance then I'll strap up my shoes
And if you wanna sing then consider it sung
I'm sorry that you had to grow up this young

You were the strongest little fighter that carried me here
And I know that you're tired from surviving in fear
So lay down, close your eyes
Cause now I got us for the rest of our life

So if I wanna wear pink I'll wear it for me
And if I wanna dance then I'll lift up on my feet
And I just wanna sing at the top of my lungs
Thanks for being there growing up so young

Spoiler: Replay - Lady Gaga

Am I still alive?
Where am I? I cry
Who was it that pulled the trigger?
Was it you or I?
I'm completely numb
Why you acting dumb?
I won't blame myself 'cause we both know you were the one

I don't know what to do, you don't know what to say
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay
The monster inside you is torturing me
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay-ay-ay
Replay, r-replay-ay-ay
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay-ay-ay

Every single day, yeah, I dig a grave
Then I sit inside it wondering if I'll behave
It's a game I play and I hate to say
You're the worst thing and the best thing that's happened to me

I don't know what to do, you don't know what to say
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay
The monster inside you is torturing me
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay-ay-ay
Replay, r-replay-ay-ay
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay-ay-ay

Psychologically, it's something that I can't explain
Scratch my nails into the dirt to pull me out, okay
Does it matter?
Does it matter?
Damage is done
Does it matter?
Does it matter?
You had the gun
You had the gun
You had the gun
You had the gun

Spoiler: Oh Father - Madonna

It's funny that way, you can get used
To the tears and the pain
What a child will believe
You never loved me

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you once had the power
I never felt so good about myself

Seems like yesterday
I lay down next to your boots and I prayed
For your anger to end
Oh Father I have sinned

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you once had the power
I never felt so good about myself

Oh Father you never wanted to live that way
You never wanted to hurt me
Why am I running away
Oh Father you never wanted to live that way
You never wanted to hurt me
Why am I running away

Maybe someday
When I look back I'll be able to say
You didn't mean to be cruel
Somebody hurt you too

 

[SetMeFree11]

Metallica - "The struggle within" and also "My friend of misery"

ironic.

 

[madhatguy]

On GP

 

[Paranorm]

Would it be selfish or narcissistic if the song that describes me best was a song that was made by myself?
Either way, here it is;

Alone by Paranorm

 

[sserafim]

Stray Kids Slump or Hellevator





This is what I want my life to be like:

 

[cherrypiegonnadie]

Yung lean - Agony (link goes to youtube) (i don't know how else to link the song.. )



Lyrics:

Take a pill and go to sleep
I'm chasing witches in the street
I'm the last page in your book
Can't write a song, only do hooks
Watching horses in the fields
The dragon rests in agony
When I'm afraid, I lose my mind
It's fine, it happens all the time
When I'm afraid, I lose my mind
It's fine, it happens all the time

Isolation caved in
I adore you
The sound of your skin

So many lies that I've found
Blood, Heaven, I stick to the ground
So many times I realized
What I seek for is right in front of my eyes
I'm alone in a hole in the ground
A theater of dogs is still around
My furniture has come alive
I'm dancing with a candlestick tonight
Flying kites, raven outside my window
Smiles with fright

Isolation caved in
I adore you
The sound of your skin

Isolation caved in
I adore you
The sound of your skin

Isolation caved in
I adore you
The sound of your skin

The Smiths - Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want


Or like someone had already posted this:

Have a Nice Life - Bloodhail

Things to do by Alex G.
"
Thinkin' of things to do
Yeah, only the cheapest things left there for you
And the only thing I learned from you is that there's nothing left
To look forward to
I was asleep for days and now you're the only thing
Keepin' me awake
The calculator will make the same mistakes
Yeah, I see it in its face
Hold on tight to this time, this place cause
Everything you know will be erased
You were born inside your head and
That is where you'll be when you are dead
You are just a boy you are no man and
Nobody you know will understand"
