Lyrics that fit.

[Social_Moth]

No
I don't know why
I have to swear
To stay alive
I should think twice
And kill.myself
And celebrate
And just sit down

No
I have no choice
I want to live
Slave to my wish
I should think twice
And kill.myself
And fall asleep
Next to you

I need some love
I'm always tense
I hate myself
I'm always tense
I fuck this world
I'm always tense
I'm always bleeding
I'm always tense

 

[boro]

The lyrics of 'I should be allowed to' by they might be giants fit pretty well i think...kinda...in parts.


I saw the best minds of my generation
Destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical
I should be allowed to glue my poster
I should be allowed to think

I should be allowed to glue my poster
I should be allowed to think
I should be allowed to think
I should be allowed to think
And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea
If by random whim, one occurs to me
If necessary, leave paper stains on the grey utility pole (so true then this line. WTF????)

I saw the worst bands of my generation
applied by magic marker to dry wall
I should be allowed to shoot my mouth off
I should have a call in show

I should be allowed to glue my poster
I should be allowed to think
I should be allowed to think
I should be allowed to think
And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea
If by random whim, one occurs to me
If necessary, leave paper stains on the grey utility pole

I am not allowed
To ever come up with a single original thought
I am not allowed
To meet the criminal government agent who oppresses me(huh???)

I was the worst hope of my generation
Destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical
I should be allowed to share my feelings
I should be allowed to feel

I should be allowed to glue my poster
I should be allowed to think
I should be allowed to think
I should be allowed to think
And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea
If by random whim one occurs to me
But sadly, this can never be

I am not allowed to think
I am not allowed to think
I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)
I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)
I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)
I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)

 

[Broken_Memory]

Crysta, that Take Me Away Avril Lavigne song is one I've been able to relate to for quite some time as well. Whenever I;m feeling upset I usually listen to Evanescence, and I think about my social phobia and incorporate it into every song. I have tried to avoid listening to Evanescence though because its such powerful music in that sense, I can listen and cry for hours.

Here are some examples:


Whisper - Evanescence


Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me
Into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

[Chorus:]
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be
Blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

[Chorus]

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me
Shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet the end

[Chorus x3]
Servatis a pereculum.
Servatis a maleficum




This one here I can relate to because often my social phobia leads me to feel disconnected to the people around me. (Very upsetting);

Imaginary - Evanescence

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops
As they're falling tell a story

If you need to leave the world you live in
Lay your head down and stay a while
Though you may not remember dreaming
Something waits for you to breathe again

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me



Anyway, social phobia is given personification in a lot of songs that I hear. I've been keeping away from a lot of these types of songs though, even though I could easily listen to one now and set myself up for a depressing evening.

 

[sabbath92002]

There's a time, for living
And a time for love
There's a time, for forgiving, y'all
And a time to shove
Ohh there's more, won than lost
More hoping here to spare
And it's waiting, waiting
Don't ya spend your whole life hesitating
Come and tell the truth
Shame the devil

There's more, light than dark
Honey shining down on you
More despair, than what you got
And baby you'll need the truth
This whole world, has had enough
Of people giving up
And it's waiting, waiting
Don't you spend your whole life hesitating
Come on tell the truth
Shame the devil

And it's waiting, waiting
Don't spend your whole life hesitating
Come on tell the truth
Shame the devil
Don't you know that it's waiting, ah waiting
Don't you spend your whole life hesitating
Come on, let loose
Shame the devil

 

[misanthropic]

That's easy...Slayer all the way. They have a ton of songs that I can relate too. (super pissed off music helps to) Here's one:

'Cast Down' from the album God Hates Us All (I think he certainly hates me...)

Despair, emptiness
See the hatred wasted on yourself
Face down taste the dust; it's getting harder everyday
Just to find a reason not to end it all yourself
Suicide on the street
Everywhere around you watch it breed
It begins to bury you in self-induced rejection

So now you're wasted, broken down
I see through your ignorance
Penetrate the surface of your insecure inside
Next fix, shoot it up
Looking for the place where god speaks
Every time you find him he just stabs you in the back
again

No one hears you
You're society's infection
I won't judge you
When the blood steals life from you

Cast down and thrown away
You are the living dead
The needle numbs the pain
Of all your suffering
This is where the world of money changes nothing

Just a statistic in the shadows of the real world
The system's failing you just the way it failed me
Hell is home on the concrete where the city bleeds
America - home of the free - land of fucking
disenchantment

Despair, emptiness
Isolation rapes you everyday
Face down taste the dust, digging deeper in your grave
Haven't found a reason
Haven't found a thing to fucking live for
Godless he doesn't care
How you choose to destroy yourself
In a world that feeds on hate
You're left here just to waste away
In your cardboard prison, asphalt wasteland

No one hears you
You're society's infection
I won't judge you
When the blood steals life from you
No one sees you
You're society's infection
I won't judge you
When the blood steals life from you

Cast down and thrown away
You are the living dead
The needle numbs the pain
Of all your suffering
This is where the world of money changes nothing

 

[sabbath92003]

I got shot through a space not long ago,
I thought I knew the place so well.
It wasnt the same, now it goes to show,
Sometime you never can tell.

Im lookin high and low, dont know where to go,
I got to double back, my friend.
The only way to find, what I left behind
I got to double back again, double back again.

You know Im movin on in this fine machine,
Rollin on through the night.
Seein things like Ive never seen
And its taking me outta sight.

Lookin high and low, dont know where to go,
I got to double back, my friend.
The only way to find, what I left behind
I got to double back again, double back again.

Its got me up and down,
I been lost and found,
Down in a deep dark hole.
Looks like my luck has changed,
I been rearranged
And Im coming out on a roll.

Lookin high and low, dont know where to go,
I got to double back, my friend.
The only way to find, what I left behind
I got to double back again, double back again.

ELLIOTT SMITH - TOMORROW TOMORROW

Everybody knows which way you go, straight to over
No one wants to see you inside of me, straight to over
I heard the hammer at the lock
Say you're deaf and dumb and done
Give yourself another talk
This time make it sound like someone

The noise is coming out, and if it's not out now
Then tomorrow, tomorrow
They took your life apart and called you failure's art
They were wrong though, they won't know
'Til tomorrow

I got static in my head
The reflected sound of everything
Tried to go to where it led
But it didn't lead to anything

The noise is coming out, but if it's not out now
I know it's just about to drown tomorrow out


I BETTER BE QUIET NOW

Wish you gave me your number
Wish I could call you today
Just to hear a voice
I got a long way to go
I'm getting further away
If I didn't know the difference
Living alone'd probably be okay
It wouldn't be lonely
I got a long way to go
I'm getting further away
A lot of hours to occupy
It was easy when I didn't know you yet
Things I'd have to forget
But I better be quiet now
I'm tired of wasting my breath
Carrying on, and getting upset
Maybe I got a problem
But that's not what I wanted to say
I'd prefer to say nothing
I got a long way to go
I'm getting further away
Had a dream as an army man with an order just to march in my place
While a dead enemy screams in my face
But I better be quiet now
I'm tired of wasting my breath
Carrying on, not over it yet
Wish I knew what you were doing
And why you want to do it this way
So I can't go the distance
I got a long way to go
I'm getting further away
I got a long way to go
I'm getting further away

A DISTORTED REALITY IS NOW A NECESSITY TO BE FREE

I'm floating in a black balloon
O.D. on Easter afternoon
My mama told me "Baby stay clean
There's no in-between"
And all you ladies and you gentlemen
Between is all you've ever seen or been
Fit poorly and arrange the sight
Doll it up in virgin white
You disappoint me, you people raking in on the world
The devil's script sells you the heart of a blackbird
Shine on me baby, 'cause it's raining in my heart
Sun's rising on a chopping glare
Rain dropping acid bought up in the air
A distorted reality's now a necessity to be free
It's so disappointing
First I put it all down to luck
God knows why my country don't give a fuck
Fuck
Shine on me baby, 'cause it's raining in my heart
Shine on me baby, 'cause it's raining in my heart

I CAN'T ANSWER YOU ANYMORE

Something came from nothing today
While I was saying no

Don't you knock on my door
I can't answer you anymore

Absence makes the heart grow fond
Staying away from people

Was a question before
But I can't answer you anymore

Stepped to the scene where we'd meet
And wrote a song
I did everything right for somebody that
Does everything wrong

So I go from coast to coast
Over the hawthorn bridge

To the one I adore
You asked me what I'm looking for
But I can't answer you anymore
No, I can't answer you anymore

ST. IDES HEAVEN

Everything is exactly right
When I walk around here drunk every night
With an open container from 7-11
In St. Ides Heaven
I've been out haunting the neighborhood
And everybody can see I'm no good
When I'm walking out between parked cars
With my head full of stars
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It'll go around with anyone
But it won't come down for anyone
You think you know what brings me down
That I want those things you could never allow
You see me smile and you think it's a frown turned upside-down
Cos everyone is a fucking pro
And they all got answers from trouble they've known
And they all gotta say what you should and shouldn't do
Though they don't have a clue
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It'll go around with anyone
But it won't come down for anyone
And I won't come down for anyone

ABUSED

Now that everybody's worn the expression
Not that you wanted to use
It seems untrue now
But the funniest thing is
It fits you now
To a perfect T

You may never understand this affliction
Although you feel the effects you feel
Bruised now, body and mind you feel
Used now, almost all of the time
Been abused
Abused
Abused

Sunday morning in the aisle with my brother
Watching the men in black tell the youths how
You're supposed to behave, and tell the truth now
You don't know what you're saying
We've been abused
Abused
Abused
Abused
Abused
Abused
Abused

Other people see some evil intention
But the closer you get
The more you get confused how
Why does everyone know
Been abused now
Didn't want it to show

 

[sabbath92003]

It was starting to rain
On the night that they first decided
It was blinding with snow
On the night that they ran away
They were found in the dark
But they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door

She was meant to be wild
He was nearly a child
But they only could feel each other
They were paper and fire
Angel and liar
The devil of one another

Then they were thrown to the ground
Wiht a terrible sound
Just like somebody broke a heart

Rock 'N' Roll Children
Alone again
Rock 'N' Roll Children
Without a friend
But they got Rock 'N' Roll

It was starting to rain
On the night that they cried forever
it was blinding with snow
On the night that they screamed goodbye

They were lost in the dark
And they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door

On Rock 'N' Roll Children
Alone again
Rock 'N' Roll Children
Without a friend

"hold me" by weezer

don't know if anyone posted these yet, but the song is perfect... what an amazing song...

"Hold Me" by Weezer

I am terrified of all things
Frightened of the dark
I am
You are taller than a mountain
Deeper than the sea
You are

Hold me
Hold me
Take me with you 'cause I'm lonely

I was closer to you back then
I was happier
I was
You are fading further from me
Why don't you come home to me

Hold me
Hold me
Take me with you 'cause I'm lonely

I am...
I am...
Cold

Hold Me

 

[ripewithdecay]

Nine Inch Nails
"Every Day Is Exactly The Same"

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around

Oh, no

[Chorus:]
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

[Chorus]

I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
Well I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I'm still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do

 

[Jansky]

I didn't read the whole thread so I'm not entirely sure if someone has already said this but some words of Goo Goo Dolls Iris I feel relate to me and how I feel. Think thats why its my fave song....

'I don't want the world to see me
cos I don't think that they'd understand
When everything is made to broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive'

Those are just two of the sections I feel I relate too.

 

[SocialButterSlip]

The Killers - Sweet Talk

Lift me up on my honor
Take me over this spell
Get this weight off my shoulder
I've carried it well
Loose these shackles of pressure
Shake me out of these chains
Lead me not to temptation

Hold my hand harder
Ease my mind
Roll down the smoke-screen
Open the sky

Let me fly
Man I need a release from this troublesome mind
Fix my feet when they're stumblin'
And well you know it hurts sometimes
You know it's gonna bleed sometimes

Dig me out from this thorn tree
Help me bury my shame
Keep my eyes from the fire
They can't handle the flame
Race cried out for my brothers
But most of them failed
I carried it well

Let me fly
Man I need a release from this troublesome mind
Fix my feet when they're stumblin'
I guess you know it hurts sometimes
You know it's gonna bleed sometimes
Now hold on

I'm not lookin' for sweet talk
I'm lookin' for time
Time for towerin' sweet folk
Brother 'cause it hurts sometimes
You know it's gonna bleed sometimes
Hold on

You know it's gonna hurt sometimes
When you call on me, hold on

Hold on
Hold on

I’m gonna climb that symphony home and make it mine
Let his resonance light my way
See, all these pessimistic sufferers tend to drag me down
So I could use it to shelter what good I’ve found

Daniel Johnston - Loner

I wish I could be as happy as you
I wish I could have as much fun as you do
I wish I could be your friend

I wish I had my own way
but I rarely do
but I wish I had my way with you
I'm a loner - oh oh - loner

Been a loner since high school - oh yeah

I'm a loner - uh - uh

I'm a loner in my car - oh yeah
sometimes it gets scary - oh yeah
been a loner since high school - oh yeah
and a loner ain't no fool - oh yeah

But I wish I could be as happy as you
and I wish I could have as much fun as you do
I wish I could be your friend

lone, lone, lone,
lone, lone, lone, lone
uh-uuh, uh-uuh, loner, uh
I'm a loner

Daniel Johnston - Story of an Artist

listen up and i'll tell a story
about an artist growing old
some would try for fame and glory
others aren't so bold

everyone in friends and family
sayin "hey get a job
why do you only do that only
why are you so odd?

"we dont really like what you do
we dont think anyone ever will
it's a problem that you have
and this problem's made you ill"

listen up and i'll tell a story
about an artist growing old
some would try for fame and glory
others aren't so bold

the artist walks alone
someone says behind his back
"he's got his gall to call himself that
he doesn't even know where he's at"

the artist walks among the flowers
appreciating the sun
he does this all his waking hours
but is it really so wrong

they sit in front of their tv
sayin "hey this is fun"
and they laugh at the artist
saying "he doesn't know how to have fun"

the best things in life are truly free
singing birds and laughing bees
you got me wrong says he
the sun don't shine in your tv

listen up and i'll tell a story
about an artist growing old
some would try for fame and glory
others aren't so bold

everyone in friends and family
sayin "hey get a job
why do you only do that only
why are you so odd?

"we dont really like what you do
we dont think anyone ever will
it's a problem that you have
and this problem's made you ill"

listen up and i'll tell a story
about an artist growin old
some would try for fame and glory
others just like to watch the world

 

[LittleMissScareAll]

"Blood is Thicker Than Water" -Black Label Society:

Here comes the rain
Another day, another storm
I've been down, down, down
For oh, so long

I'll walk this mile
And I'll ask no quarter
For in the end
Blood is thicker than water

They try to break me but I refuse to die
They try to break me but I refuse to cry

Here comes the rain
Another day, another storm

I'll walk this mile
And I'll ask no quarter
For in the end
Blood is thicker than water









"Hate Me!" -Children of Bodom:

I come from the ashes of molten hatred
Raised by the demons in abodes of the end
The reaper's scythe I fall upon to light my path
Wrecked by mangled wounds of life I have become
The resurrection of the evil one
You know that I don't fucking care if I live or die!

Need a bishop preaching fire
To get away with my sins
Despise everything I see

Ain't got respect for humanity
Never lived or wanted immortality
The reaper's shadow I fall upon to obscure my path
Every day I'm getting battered up until I bleed
You motherfuckers just leave me be
You never gave me a cure for the pain I feel inside

Need a bishop preaching fire
To get away with my sins
Despise everything I see
I don't give a fuck if you hate me

Led by the reaper I walk in the night
Show me the way to your kingdom come

I believe in armageddon
Baptised in alcohol
Embodiment of anti-Christ
I'm living for my own demise







"Laid to Rest" -Lamb of God:

If there was a single day I could live
A single breath I could take
I'd trade all the others away

The blood's on the wall so you'd might as well just admit it
And bleach out the stains, commit to forgetting it
You're better off empty and blank than left with a single pathetic trace of this
Smother another failure, lay this to rest

Console yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck
Absorb yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself

I'll chain you to the truth, for the truth shall set you free
I'll turn the screws of vengeance and bury you with honesty
I'll make all your dreams come to life, then slay them as quickly as they came
Smother another failure, lay this to rest

Console yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck
Absorb yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck

See who gives a fuck
See who gives a fuck

Failure

If there was a day I could live
If there was a single breath I could take
I'd trade all the others away
I'd trade all the others away

Rasputina- Things I'm Gonna Do

Against the law to talk about the
Rocket in the park I send it
Off to be examined by a
Scientific team
On the Moon on the Moon
On the Moon on the Moon.

I organize a council where the
Prize goes unannounced until there's
In the trees a city, just some
Leaves we left it pretty
Long ago long ago
Long ago Oh so long ago.

I have half-a-mind, it's cracked and breaking.
It's recommended as great for tasting
Spit in the face of a tried and true one,
These are Things That I'm Going To Do.

My cave is lit with tiny lights
I climb the stairs and catch the sights
Of other people far below
I've heard of them, they think they know
I make no friends. I've got no spark
In my defense, I take apart
What's put together easily
This is all true
I'll make it be.

Every day like Jesus He's not
Up there He can't see us. Maybe
Eyes uplifted slowly for effect
The land below me
Far away far away
Far away Oh so far away.

I have half-a-mind, it's cracked and breaking.
It's recommended as great for tasting
Spit in the face of a tried and true one,
These are Things That I'm Going To Do.

I make no friends. I've got no spark
In my defense, I take apart
What's put together easily
This is all true
I'll make it be.

I have half-a-mind, it's cracked and breaking.
It's recommended as great for tasting
Spit in the face of a tried and true one,
These are Things That I'm Going To Do.

Flyleaf

Amy says she's all alone
Says the world doesn't even know
About the pain she hides inside
Says happiness is just a lie
Smell the roses; throw them down
Just whisper; don't make a sound
Don't want the world to know the truth
You've been broken and abused
By you

Amy says,
"I see you laughing at the rain that hits your face
With your arms stretched open soaking in the love
In a world I find so hard you find so beautiful
There's a hope in you deep inside for me."

The colors of her mind
Bleed into each other
As the morning melts the night
And the stars enchant another
While her eyes are still held shut
She can hear you breathing softly
Your words echo in her mind
And your words are clear and she knows that you are here

Yes
I see her laughing at the rain that hits her face
With her arms stretched open soaking in the love
In a world she found so hard she finds so beautiful
There's a hope in her deep inside from you

This may have been posted already, but I just read the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and discovered this great song that was mentioned in teh book many times.

"Asleep" by The Smiths.


Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
Im tired and i
I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Dont try to wake me in the morning
cause I will be gone
Dont feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I dont want to wake up
On my own anymore

Sing to me
Sing to me
I dont want to wake up
On my own anymore

Dont feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go

There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well ...

Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye ...

Wow, The Smiths is an awesome band. Here's their song "Ask."


Shyness is nice, and
Shyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life
You'd like to

Shyness is nice, and
Shyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life
You'd like to

So, if there's something you'd like to try
If there's something you'd like to try
ASK ME - I WON'T SAY "NO" - HOW COULD I ?

Coyness is nice, and
Coyness can stop you
From saying all the things in
Life you'd like to

So, if there's something you'd like to try
If there's something you'd like to try
ASK ME - I WON'T SAY "NO" - HOW COULD I ?

Spending warm Summer days indoors
Writing frightening verse
To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg

ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME

Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb
the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb
That will bring us together

Nature is a language - can't you read ?
Nature is a language - can't you read ?

SO ... ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME

Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb
the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb
That will bring us together

If it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb
Then it's the Bomb
That will bring us together

SO ... ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
Oh, la ...
