Songs That Seem To Tell Your Story

What songs are there that seem to describe your life right now? I know I've got one which perfectly reflects my voice toward the ones I care for.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][B]Jambi - Tool[/B]

Here from the king's mountain view
Here from the wild dream come true
Feast like a sultan I do
On treasures and flesh, never few.

But I, I would wish it all away.
If I thought I'd Lose you just one day.

The devil and his had me down,
in love with the dark side I'd found.
Dabble in all the way down
up to my neck soon to drown.

But you changed that all for me.
Lifted me up, turned me round.
So I...
I...
I...
I...
I would
I would
I would
Wish this all away

Prayed like a father dusk to dawn.
Beg like a hooker all night long.
Tempted the devil with my song.
And got what I wanted all along.

But I,
And I would,
If I could,
And I would,
Wish it away,
Wish it away,
Wish it all away,
Wanna wish it all away,
No prize that could hold sway,
Or justify my giving away,
my center.

So if I could I'd wish it all away.
If I thought tomorrow would take you away.
You're my peace of mind, my home, my center.
I'm just trying to hold on,
One more day.

Dim my eyes...
Dim my eyes...

Dim my eyes if they should compromise
our fulcrum what you need divides me then
I might as well be gone.

Shine on forever.
Shine on benevolent son.

Shine down upon the broken.
Shine until the two become one.

Shine on forever.
Shine on benevolent son.

Shine on upon the severed.
Shine until the two become one.

Divided I'm withering away.

Divide and I'm withering away.

Shine on upon the many, light our way
Benevolent son.

Breathe in union.
Breathe in union.
Breathe in union.
Breathe in union.
Breathe in union.
So as one survive.
Another day and season. [/COLOR]

this one describes my current state of mind:

Song: Bite To Break Skin[The Legion Of Doom Remix]
Artist: Senses Fail
Album: Underworld II Soundtrack

Bite to break skin
Don't give the secret
My stoic face
Beaten with passion
The Phoenix will die
Inside the firestorm
I am the sun
Follow my footsteps.

So let me take this medicine
To quench my love for violent things
My swan song will
Be like a bullet laced in anger
As the razor cuts the soft spot on your heel

Each breath
is getting slower
This war
it's getting harder To fight by myself

Sick waves
Of bitter fashion
Rip down
This shield that I have
Tears rain from above

Do you see?
The life I lead?

So follow me into the sun
And I will bleed
The poisons dry

These bayonet scars
Never cease
To blind the light shed from the beast
And all we do is hate

Eyes shot
From constant visions
Angels
Are rendered useless
Good has lost its heart

Bite to break skin
Don't give the secret
My stoic face
Beaten with passion
The Phoenix will die
Inside the firestorm
I am the sun
Follow my footsteps.

Do you see?
The life I lead?

So follow me into the sun
And I will bleed
The posions dry

For you
For you

^ it just kinda describes how I'm always the martyr of the group friends I'm with and stuff like that, and how I make sacrifices in order to enjoy myself.

another song that hauntingly descibes my life is:

Song: Breaking The Habit [Brian Walker's Addiction Rehabilitation Clinc Radio Edit]
Artist: Linkin Park
Album: E-Day: Part II - The Downfall

it's basically the same song, but with heavy orchestrated stuff layed on top of the track

Detroit Rock City, by KISS, of course.

feel uptight on a saturday night
Nine o clock, the radios the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
I got to

Get up
Everybodys gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybodys gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in detroit rock city

Get up
Everybodys gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybodys gonna leave their seat

Getting late
I just cant wait
Ten oclock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start up the car, and I try to make the midnight show

Get up
Everybodys gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybodys gonna leave their seat

Movin fast, doin 95
Hit top speed but Im still movin much too slow
I feel so good, Im so alive
I hear my song playin on the radio
It goes

Get up
Everybodys gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybodys gonna leave their seat

Twelve oclock, I gotta rock
Theres a truck ahead, lights starin at my eyes
Oh my god, no time to turn
I got to laugh cause I know Im gonna die
Why

Get up
Everybodys gonna move their feet
Get up
Everybodys gonna leave their seat

[SIZE=1]I love my boyfriend.
He's probably one of the biggest parts of my life, and he deals with me and my craziness.
So that's why I have chosen this song.

[B]Good Riddance- One For The Braves[/B]
Sometimes it seems so tough
Good friends are not enough
And I'm powerless to help
When you take it all upon yourself

Feels like you just can't win
The whole wide world is closing in
And it's so hard not to think the worse
When you're the centre of the universe

I see you struggling with the wait of the world
Remember I'm always by your side
Too many problems for one little girl
I'll be beside you when all your tears have dried

I lay next to you at night
I know something's just not right
But there's nothing I can say
When you feel ten thousand miles away

I don't have all the answers yet
But I get scared when you're upset
And your heart feels like an empty home
When you feel so scared and all alone

Think everybody's talking about you
And conspiring to bring you down
You're thinking that nobody loves you
Ever wonder why I'm still around

*****************
And this is pretty much my song. It just describes me so accurately.

[B]Alanis Morrisette- Hand in My Pocket[/B]
I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chicken****
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
And what it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab[/SIZE]

Ever since I was in fourth grade, I was in band at school. It's been a life-long passion ever since then. Music has literally become my life ever since about 9th grade when I started to realize that it's what I wanted to do the rest of my life.

Cold - Bleed


I'm feeling crossed
I take it inside
Burn up the pain
My thoughts are strange
Just like the things
I used to love
Just like the tree that fell
I heard it
If art is still inside
I feel it

I wanna bleed
Show the world all that I have inside
I wanna scream
Let the blood flow that keeps me alive

Take all these strings
They call my veins
Wrap them around
Every ******* thing

Presence of people
Not for me
Well I must remain in tune
Forever
My love is music
I will marry melody

I wanna bleed
Show the world all that I have inside
I wanna scream
Let the blood flow that keeps me alive

Won't you let me take you
For a ride
You can stop the world
Try to change my mind
Won't you let me show you
How it feels
You can stop the world
But you won't change me

I need music
I need music
I need music to set me free
To let me bleed

[FONT=Georgia]This one song seems to poignantly express my whole life (or at least, my adolescence). I look competent and brilliant on the outside, but no one knows the painful secrets that I've lived through. And I try my best to escape from my troubles, but still walk with a limp through life.

[B]Beautiful[/B]
[I]by Belle and Sebastian[/I]

She lay in bed all night watching the morning change
She lay in bed all night watching the colours change
She lay in bed all night watching the colours change into green and gold

The doctor told her years ago that she was ill
The doctor told her years ago to take a pill
The doctor told her years ago that she'd go blind if she wasn't careful

They let Lisa go blind
The world was at her feet and she was looking down
They let Lisa go blind
But everyone she knew thought she was beautiful
Only slightly mental
Beautiful, a bit temperamental
Beautiful, only slightly mental
Beautiful

She thought it would be fun to try photography
She thought it would be fun to try pornography
She thought it would be fun to try most anything
She was tired of sleeping

They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind
They let Lisa go blind
She's looking like a queen
But if you knew what's going on in her life
There'd be a thousand barren mothers there to talk to her
If you knew what's going on in her life
There'd be two hundred troubled teenagers to sit with her
And to talk to her
If you knew what's going on in her life
What's going on in her life
What's going on in her life
There would be a documentary on Radio 4

She made herself a pair of orthopaedic shoes
She thought it was the answer to the fashion blues
She mad herself a pair of orthopaedic shoes
But she walked with a limp[/FONT]

"**** and Run" by Liz Phair.
Nothing sweeter than self-discovery! Even if it's slightly on the edge, ya know?

I woke up alarmed
I didn't know where I was at first
Just that I woke up in your arms
And almost immediately I felt sorry
'Cause I didn't think this would happen again
No matter what I could do or say
Just that I didn't think this would happen again
With or without my best intentions, and
What ever happened to a boyfriend
The kind of guy who tries to win you over, and
What ever happened to a boyfriend
The kind of guy who makes love cause he's in it, and

I want a boyfriend
I want a boyfriend
I want all that stupid old ****
Like letters and sodas
Letters and sodas

You got up out of bed
You said you had a lot of work to do
But I heard the rest in your head
And almost immediately I felt sorry
'Cause I didn't think this would happen again
No matter what I could do or say
Just that I didn't think this would happen again
With or without my best intentions, and

I want a boyfriend
I want a boyfriend

I want all that stupid old ****
Like letters and sodas
Letters and sodas

I can feel it in my bones
I'm gonna spend another year alone
It's **** and run
**** and run
Even when I was seventeen
**** and run
**** and run
Even when I was twelve

You almost felt bad
You said that I should call you up but
I knew much better than that
And almost immediately I felt sorry
'Cause I didn't think this would happen again
No matter what I could do or say
Just that I didn't think this would happen again
With or without my best intentions

And I can feel it in my bones
I'm gonna spend my whole life alone
It's **** and run
**** and run
Even when I was seventeen
**** and run
**** and run
Even when I was twelve

Well if it's your responsibility to purify the world, go ahead. Make sure all the kiddies don't end up like Liz Phair.
And let some moderator take my post down. But what message would that send? I'm being honest about something and while I am sad that you disagree with me, I feel like that it's just too bad for you. Don't read it if you don't like it.

It is not my responsibility to purify the world; that is G-d's role. I only filter His ideas to the world so that the sinners in life will learn that He can make the world peaceful, not full of sex like the song suggets. One can only receive pleasure through the satisfaction of feeling connected with Him.

Well pretend that the song is not about sex. Maybe it's much more than meaningless intercourse. You can interpret the song as the perils of a certain life style, or you can think of it as something different. But neither of us is "wrong" or "right". And not everyone is as religious as you'd hope. People believe in different things, and if that affects my choice of music and causes me to favor "immoral" music in your opinion, so be it.

I feel this is an important issue and dialogue should continue.

How can i "pretend that the song is not about sex?" I cannot fake reality and believe that G-d's wishes have been fulfilled; I believe that He will make everything much more safe.

This is not a "right" or "wrong" issue. You may not be as religious, but displaying such profanic and satanic words should not be outreached towards the youth and generation of today. Your choice of music is not exactly immoral, but is turning towards the wrong attitude of life.

I would also like to hear the input of other people.

That is a biased opinion. Unless you convince me that every person in this world is not persuaded to go sleep with a complete stranger, then I shall believe. Although that may seem hypocritical because I am sure not everyone agrees with myself, I stand proud with what I believe. Our cases won't rest until He gives us a sign.

I feel it relates to me because we are all on a journey of self-discovery.

And hell will not expand my mind.
I don't even believe in hell, but I completely respect your opinions whether or not they apply to me.

I feel that lyrics of some song does not per say tell the story of my life. Words cannot merely describe it; actions and beliefs determines my life. I think that generalizing one's life to a song is not sufficient; it gives a measly glimpse into their life and a library full of songs will not satisfy such a expression of emotion and time.

HarvardYay, you are completely in the wrong in this situation. You do not have the right to come to any place and push your views and beliefs on other people, and tell them that if they aren't living like you, then they are living a life of wrong-doing.

Btw, it's God. Not G-d. I think you're disrespecting him by not saying his name, than filtering it.
