Are there any songs that you find bring back strong memories or emotional responses from you about your life? There are two that really get to me when I hear them. The first one is:

Laying on the bathroom floor
Kitty licks my cheek once more
And i could try
But waking up is harder when you wanna die

Walter's on the telephone
Tell him i am not at home
'cause i think that i am going
To a place where i am always high

My name's Elizabeth
My life is shit and piss

OK, so my name's not Elizabeth and I don't have a cat, but this song really gets to me. I have had quite extensive experience of depression and suicidal thoughts, so whenever I hear this it brings a lot of those memories back. Oddly enough though, it doesn't feel too bad to think about it sometimes.

One song that I really can't listen to though is this:

As the cheerless towns pass my window
I can see a washed out moon through the fog
And then a voice inside my head, breaks the analogue
And says

"Follow me down to the valley below You know
Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul"

I survived against the will of my twisted folk
But in the deafness of my world the silence broke
And said

"Follow me down to the valley below You know
Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul"

"My David don't you worry
This cold world is not for you
So rest your head upon me
I have strength to carry you"

(Ghosts of the twenties rising Golden summers just holding you)

"Follow me down to the valley below You know
Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul
Come to us, Lazarus
It's time for you to go"

I really don't know why, but this song always reminds me of my grandfather. He died two years ago from Alzheimer's disease. Every time I hear it I think of his funeral and have some kind of vision of his ghost walking away from me (I don't believe in ghosts though). Pretty messed up, right?

Anyway, post any song lyrics that remind you of important times/events in your life, or just ones you feel are personally significant to you! It doesn't have to be (mostly) negative like my ones, they can be about good times too! =)

EDIT: OK, just a couple of rules people:

1. If you're posting a lot of lyrics please place them in spoiler tags, as it makes the thread less wall-o-texty!

2. Please say why the song is significant to you/your life to the greatest degree to which you are comfortable.

Why should it be so bad to be bad,
When it's so hard to be anything at all?
And why does everyone seem to forget
What it's like to be all alone
- As soon as they
Have got someone, oh it's no fun
It makes me wanna vanish and die
Maybe I'll throw all my clothes
Into a waterfall
And sit and spy while they all cry
- You get so silly when you're lonely
And you think that you're the only
Who'll say:

I hope that someone's gonna call
And tell me this night is over
'Cause I wanna start living my life
Before I get much older

Maybe you all would consider it a joke
If I say that I hate myself
But now and then
When I look into the mirror
All I see is a big mistake
(And wouldn't you)
Well, I just wanna be fun
Just wanna be the one
Who makes you smile
I just wanna believe
That I could be something to someone
- Am I the only one around here,
Who's not gonna live my life in fear?

I hope that someone's gonna call
And tell me this night is over
'Cause I wanna start living my life
Before I get much older

(- I don't understand you!)
- And why would you?
(- Can you tell me
What is on your mind?)
- I don't have words to say
How much I think I owe you.
- We ain't gonna live our lives in fear...

It was so touching at their last concert yesterday, the entire crowd sang with them.

There are quite a few I could quote.

Blacktop pavement cover me
Like a Chemical Reaction or a steam roller
Spreading randomly
There's a distant buzz, and a low frequency
It tickles my ear, it rumbles under my feet
And it shakes the leaves off of every tree, violently
What pretension!
Everlasting peace
Everything must cease

Institution of the Hill
Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor
To ignite a people's will
There's a shadowed stain on the west facade
It has spread like decay to enshroud the fraud
And the descendants find it oh so odd
Oh so odd
What pretension!
Everlasting peace
Everything must cease

Grave memorial hewn white stone
Like the comforting caress of a mother
Or a friend you've always known
It evokes such pain and significance
What was once is reduced to remembrance
And the generations pass without recompense

What pretension!
Everlasting peace
Everything must cease

The bold part especially hits me, I dunno why...


I'll edit this post and put more tomorrow when I'm not going to get a severe case of keyboard-face.

Life.. by Marshall Mathers
What is life?
Life is like a big obstacle
put in front of your optical to slow you down
And everytime you think you gotten past it
it's gonna come back around and tackle you to the damn ground
What are friends?
Friends are people that you think are your friends
But they really your enemies, with secret indentities
and disguises, to hide they true colors
So just when you think you close enough to be brothers
they wanna come back and cut your throat when you ain't lookin
What is money?
Money is what makes a man act funny
Money is the root of all evil
Money'll make them same friends come back around
swearing that they was always down
What is life?
I'm tired of life


Shit got to me man.

This is some deep shit right here.

"Roll away your stone" by Mumford and Sons:

Roll away your stone, I?ll roll away mine
Together we can see what we can find
Don?t leave me alone at this time,
For I am afraid of what I will discover inside
You told me that I would find a home,
Within the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal,
And all the while my character it steals
The darkness is a harsh term don?t you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
It seems as if all my bridges have been burned,
You say that?s exactly how this grace thing works
It?s not the long walk home that will change this heart,
But the welcome I receive at the restart
The darkness is a harsh term don?t you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
The darkness is a harsh term don?t you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
The darkness is a harsh term don?t you think?
And yet it dominates the things I seek
Stars hide your fires,
And these here are my desires
And I will give them up to you this time around
And so, I?ll be found with my steak stuck in this ground
Marking its territory of this newly impassioned soul
But you, you?ve come too far this time
You have neither reason nor rhyme
With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine

Well, two spring to mind at once:


Especially these lines:
My favorite song, my favorite show
I wonder if they even know
Or if they care or if they even notice
I am standing there
I want my pets to come alive
And cheer me up and tell me

Everything's alright
Stuffed animals are always right
Everything's alright
Stuffed animals are always right
Alright...

My eyes all red, the baby's wet
And someone has to get that phone
I want my pets to come alive and
Cheer me up and tell me

Alright...

I lock the door and lock my head
And dream of butterflies instead


And then there is this one:

I smoke a lot.
I'm not talking weed or pot,
I smoke the regular stuff.
I smoke a lot.

And if you're a smoker too,
you've got to know sometimes it's tough
to be in healthy company.
People who always say:
'You smoke a lot,

Imagine the amount of money
you could save if you'd quit.
You smoke a lot,
by now you'd have a bike-
Aren't you concerned about the kids...

Well, of course, sure I am,
concerned a bit.
But about that bike,
I could get killed with it.
And is that what you really want,
it's not.

So I smoke a lot,
I smoke a lot.
My god I smoke a lot, and I feel fine,
I smoke a lot.

I smoke a lot,
sometimes it's great,
sometimes it's not,
I smoke a lot.


The first one.. I have a hard time explaining that actually. But right now I'm pretty much down in the dumps and then it's my go to song.
The second one would be the soundtrack of my life. Not that I would like it to be.. But it's true, and so are the lyrics!

I'll Be There in the night when you need me
Just call my name
I'll be there close your eyes and you'll see me
Just Call My Name


"Just call my name(I'll be there" - Blackmore's Night

Not just that one part, but the entire song. Was told once it should be my theme song ^_^

This is how i feel since me and my ex-fiance broke up

"Superman" be Eminem
(feat. Dina Rea)

[Girls voice is Dina Rea]




[Verse 1]
They call me superman, leap tall hoes in a single bound
I'm single now, got no ring on this finger now
I'd never let another chick bring me down, in a relationship
Save it *****, babysit, you make me sick
Superman ain't savin' shit, girl you can jump on Shady's dick
Straight from the hip, cut to the chase, I tell a muthafuckin' slut, to her face
Play no games, say no names, ever since I broke up with what's her face
I'm a different man, kiss my ass, kiss my lips, ***** why ask
Kiss my dick, get my cash, i'd rather have you whip my ass
Don't put out, i'll put you out, won't get out, i'll push you out
Puss blew out, poppin' shit, wouldn't piss on fire to put you out
Am I too nice, buy you ice, ***** if you died, I wouldn't buy you life
What you tryin' to be my new wife, what you Mariah, fly through twice...

[Prechorus]
But I do know one thing though, bitches, they come they go
Saturday through Sunday, Monday, Monday through Sunday yo'
Maybe i'll love you one day, maybe we'll someday grow
Till then just sit your drunk ass on that fuckin' runway ho'...

[Chorus B]
Cause I can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman
I can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman
Your Superman, your Superman...

[Verse 2]
Don't get me wrong, I love these ho's
It's no secret, everybody knows
Yeah we fucked, ***** so what, that's about as far as your buddy goes
We'll be friends, i'll call you again, i'll chase you around every bar you attend
Never know what kind of car i'll be in, we'll see how much you'll be partying then
You don't want that, neither do I, I don't want to flip when I see you with guys
Too much pride, between you and I
Not a jealous man, but females lie
But I guess that's just what sluts do, how could it ever be just us two
I'd never love you enough to trust you, we just met and I just fucked you...

Oh yeah, all right
Are you going to be in my dreams
Tonight?

Love You, Love You, (x15)

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make.

That last verse is just... wow...

Only two songs really encompass all that is me....

Josh Tobin - I'm a gangster.
"I'm a gangster, a straight up G!"

Presidents of the United States - Kitty.
"There's a kitty at my foot and I want to touch it!"

PTH : Tapestry

Most of the song tbh.

Sometimes a knife right through your heart is exactly what you need,
Sometimes the things that you're ashamed of make you who you're supposed to be.

Also Dunsel from the same album,

Shitty music just ain't worth making
Smile's and thank-you's just ain't worth faking
Some asshole's hands just ain't worth shaking and if it ain't broken, we need to break it.

and

These days I don't know
The people I'm supposed to trust
And I don't trust these people
That I'm supposed to know

The handlebars on my dreams they slowly start to rust
They'll take everything and somehow you still owe

Only one song i've ever heard that brought tears to my eyes. And the only one i've ever heard that actually said how I feel about a certain subject.

The lyric that strikes me the most:

The loneliness is
only missed when
I am Alone


I can't explain why.
It just strikes a chord in me.
