Many of us have made mistakes or decisions that have in some way or form shaped how we have developed. I, myself, have made many choices already. some of these I don't quite know if it was the right decision, yet I live with it because without those choices, I would not be who I am today.

So, whilst going through my playlist on youtube, a song which I can directly relate too and which I feel, defines me as a person, came on. It got me thinking, that music is such a powerful medium, maybe others have had this feeling too, that an artist has managed to capture the very essence of your life, or just you, you as a person and how you feel.

And so I ask fellow Escapists, which song do you feel defines you?

I'll start:

A song of royalty, power, revenge and courage.

How about I give you the song which defines everything I'm not?

Complex. Bombastic at points, but overall pretty mellow and charming, even if I do blend in with the background sometimes.

There's maybe a tie between three:

Call Me by Shinedown

Rooster by Alice in Chains

The Gunslinger by Demons and Wizards

NINJA! I literally had the code all good and ready!

Oh well, at least it's up here. Someone had to do it.

This is the most insane not-metal to metal ratio I believe I have ever seen on these forums... something must be wrong! I'm practically waiting for someone to post a Nickelback song.

Edit:
Might not define my life, but the lyrics hit me deep.
I really like almost all the songs that have been posted :)

I am always so calm, but on rare occasions, I have bursts of anger.

This song always makes me feel whole.

Sorry about that, but I'm guessing this song probably defines a large number of people on this site.

Possibly due to the question! Which song defines you or your life? I can't see many Metal RAWR! songs doing that very well! Haha

Through the mayor's ruined head, the boy steps through the window
and cries out to the people below
There's a time to pray, and there's a time to fight.
Anything can be a weapon if you're holding it right.
Defend what is yours!
They will not take our souls!
It is time now to rise now and fight!
