Song Lyrics about Social Anxiety, etc.

FOR REAL

Banned
drink up, baby, stay up all night
the things you could do, you won't but you might
the potential you'll be, that you'll never see
the promises you'll only make

drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days
do what I say and I'll make you okay and drive them away
the images stuck in your head

people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

drink up, baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again between the bars where I'm seeing you
there with your hands in the air, waiting to finally be caught

drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
keep you apart deep in my heart separate from the rest
where I like you the best and keep the things you forgot

the people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

The smiths - Asleep

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired and I
I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't 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 don't want to wake up
On my own anymore


Sing to me
Sing to me
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore


Don't 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 ...

Warning - Incubus

Bat your eyes girl.
Be otherworldly.
Count your blessings.
Seduce a stranger.
What's so wrong with being happy?
Kudos to those who see through sickness...yeah

Over and over and over and over...........

She woke in the morning.
She knew that her life had passed her by
She called out a warning.
Don't ever let life pass you by.

I suggest we
Learn to love ourselves,
Before its made illegal
When will we learn, When will we change
Just in time to see it all come down

Those left standing will make millions
Writing books on ways it should have been

She woke in the morning.
She knew that her life had passed her by
She called out a warning.
Don't ever let life pass you by.

Floating in this cosmic Jacuzzi
We are like frogs oblivious
Soon the water starting to boil,
Now I flinched and we all float face down

She woke in the morning.
She knew that her life had passed her by
She called out a warning.
Don't ever let life pass you by.
Pass you by.

Sorrow by Pink Floyd

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
a man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers
but awakes to a morning with no reason for waking

He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
in his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
he's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, It's not enough

His blood has frozen & curled with fright
his knees have trembled & given way in the night
his hand has weakened at the moment of truth
his step has faltered

One world, one soul
Time pass, the river roll

And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
and silent replies that swirl invitation
flow dark and troubled to any oily sea
a grim intimation of what is to be

There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
and there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
and silence that speaks so much louder than words
of promises broken.

"I Hate...people"



God I wish that I could hide away
And find a wall to bang my brains
I'm living in a fantasy, a nightmare dream... reality
People ride about all day
In metal boxes made away
I wish that they would drop the bomb
And kill these ****s that don't belong

I hate people
I hate the human race
I hate people
I hate your ugly face
I hate people
I hate your ****ing mess
I hate people
They hate me

My mother thinks that I am a jerk
Because I hate my bleeding work
Be like your daddy he's sincere
But don't be true... or you'll be queer
I'm working at my 9 to 5
with boring ****s that give me jibe
their talking of the love they give
they never give... they never give

I hate people
I hate the human race
I hate people
I hate your ugly face
I hate people
I hate your ****ing mess
I hate people
They hate me

I'm in Hiding-Pearl jam

I shut and lock the front door.
No way in or out.
I turned and walked the hallway, and pulled the curtains down.
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every plug around.
But nothing's sound.
Oh, oh. Nothing's sound.

I stayed where my last step left me.
Ignored all my rounds
Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls.
Oh. They were upside down. Oh. Oh.
I swallow my words to keep from lying.
I swallow my face just to keep from biting. I, I...
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving. Diving.
I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened.
Now I'm...

I'm in hiding. I'm in hiding.
I'm in hiding. I'm in hiding.

It's been about three days now since I've been aground.
No longer overwhelmed.
And it seems so simple now.
It's funny when things change so much, it's all state of mind.

I swallowed my words to keep from lying.
I swallowed my face just to keep from biting. I, I...
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving. I was diving.
I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened.
Now I'm...

I'm in hiding. I'm in hiding, I'm...
I'm in hiding, I am, oh. I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding yeah. I'm in hiding, I am...
I'm in hiding.

Unkle - Lonely Soul (Lyrics)

God knows you're lonely souls.
God knows you're lonely souls.

God knows you're lonely souls.
Yeah, yeah.

I believe, there's a time, and a place...
To let your mind drift and get out of this place.
I believe, there's a day, and a place...
That we will go to and I know you wanna share.

There's no secret to living. (There's no secret to living)
Just keep on, walking.
There's no secret to dying. (There's no secret to dying)
Just keep on flying.

I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name.
I'm gonna die in a space that don't hold my fame.

(God knows you're lonely souls.
God knows you're lonely souls)

I believe, there's a time, when the cord, of life,
Should be cut, my friends. (Cut the cord my friend)
I believe, there's a time, when the cord, can be cut,
And this, vision ends. (Let this vision end).

But I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name.
And I'm gonna cry in a space that don't hold my fame.

Walking in the cold,
Just keep on flying.
There'll be a searchlight,
On the mountain high,
God knows you're lonely souls,
God knows you're lonely souls,
God knows you're lonely souls,
God knows you're lonely souls.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm a lonely soul.

I'm going to die in a place that don't know my, name.

God knows you are lonely souls.
Lonely souls.
Lonely souls.
Lonely souls.
I'm a lonely soul.

So long, little chapel.
Sweet is the little sound
Pack up your light,
Pack up your light.
Say goodbye to the holy water life.
Listening and...
Ohhh... we get in and out.
Ahhh.....
Pushing it in.
Pushing it in.

The death of me- city and colour

Do I have nothing good left to say
Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints
People love to drink their troubles away
Sometimes I feel that I’d be better off that way

Cause maybe then I could sleep at night
I wouldn’t lie awake until the morning light
This is something that I’ll never control
My nerves will be the death of me
I know
I know
I know

So here’s to living life miserable
And here’s to all the lonely stories that I’ve told
Maybe drinking wine would validate my sorrow
Every man needs a muse
And mine could be the bottle

Maybe then I could sleep at night
I wouldn’t lie awake until the morning light
This is something that I’ll never control
My nerves will be the death of me
I know

Finally I could hope for a better day
No longer holding on to all the things that cloud my mind
Maybe then the weight of the world wouldn’t seem so heavy
But then again I’ll probably always feel this way

At least I know I’ll never sleep at night
I’ll always lie awake until the morning light
This is something that I’ll never control
My nerves will be the death of me
My nerves will be the death of me
My nerves will be the death of me
I know

when she passes me by, she's a ray of light
like the first drop of sun from the sky
and I know she's a queen, who deserves a king
but I'm not a king
and she doesn't see me

when she dances she moves me to a smile
i see everything near her shine
there is a grace in her ways i can't contain
i don't have that grace
so she doesn't see me

and the closer i get i can't help but hide
so ashamed of my body and voice
there are boundaries we pass in spite of the war
but our own, we can't seem to cross

he has a way that surrounds him, so delicate
with a glory that reigns in his life
he is all so so much that he is not
but these things they don't see
and she doesn't see me

there are things we can change if we just choose to fight
but the walls of injustice are high

when she passes me by, she's a ray of light
like the first drop of sun from the sky

and i know she's a queen who deserves a king
someone other than me
different from me
she doesn't see me
she doesn't see me

Green Day - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's ****ed up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

I'm not sure if any of you will interpret these lyrics as "social anxiety lyrics" but they do express some feelings that I go through with my social anxiety.

Song: My Bemoaning Sign
Band: Starless Night
Genre:Black Metal

Oblivious to no ones world but mine
I'm aware of my surroundings
**** you no matter what you say
I see your form of life, it sickens me to no end
you see through me but not whats inside
an evil being of misfortune
discouragement is my bemoaning sign

Uncontrolled emotions, unfulfilled desires
sadness spreads through me fruitlessly searching for a way out
a life of pain, and courage lost long ago I'll never feel happy again
to be followed through this life alone, I have no feelings
nor do I care about humans anymore

My visions become blurry, in my dreams I am real I live forever
in life I'm blind I cant grasp reality, I'm vulnerable to diseases
my body is ridden with stench and decay
is this all in my mind?
or is this all just a dream, am I eternally sleeping?

Here I go out to see again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere

Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life

Sun in your eyes
The heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
Because you're there
And I need a friend
Oh, I need a friend
To make me happy
Not stand here on my own

Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life

I need a friend
Oh, I need friend
To make me happy
Not so alone.......
Look at me here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Wonderful life, wonderful life

Wearing the Inside Out - Pink Floyd (Yes it's another Pink Floyd song. ::p: )

From morning to night, I stayed out of sight
Didn't recognize I'd become
No more than alive, I'd barely survive
In a word . . . overrun

Won't hear a sound (He's curled into the corner)
From my mouth (But still the screen is flickering)
I've spent too long (With an endless stream of garbage to)
On the inside out ( ... curse the place)
My skin is cold (In a sea of random images)
To the human touch (The self-destructing animal)
This bleeding heart's (Waiting for the waves to break)
Not beating much

I murmured a vow, of silence and now
I don't even hear when I think aloud
Extinguished by light, I turn on the night
Wear its darkness with an empty smile

I'm creeping back to life
My nervous system all awry
I'm wearing the inside out

Look at him now
He's paler somehow
But he's coming around
He's starting to choke
It's been so long since he spoke
Well he can have the words right from my mouth

And with these words, I can see
Clear through the clouds, that covered me
Just give it time, then speak my name
Now we can hear, ourselves again

I'm holding out (He's standing on the threshold)
For the day (Caught in fiery anger)
When all the clouds (And hurled into the furnace he'll)
Have blown away ( . . . curse the place
I'm with you now (He's torn in all directions)
Can speak your name (And still the screen is flickering
Now we can hear (Waiting for the flames to break)
Ourselves again

This song is not really about social phobia but I can relate to it anyway, since being a social phobic really feels like walking a 'long lonesome highway'...

Shane MacGowan & The Popes - Lonesome Highway

‪Shane MacGowan - Lonesome Highway‬‏ - YouTube

As I wondered down the long lonesome highway
I meet other people on the way
The broken hearted lovers who’ve been left along the by-way
Living by night and hiding from the day
The people I meet as I go on my way
They all have a story to tell
How they once had a lover who left them on the by-way
To wonder this lonely hell

And if you know, don’t let me go
And if you know, don’t let me go
And if you know, don’t let me go
I love you so
I love you so

So as I carry on down the long lonesome highway
I meet other people on the way
More broken hearted lovers who’ve been left along the by-way
Living by night and hiding from the day

And if you know, don’t let me go
And if you know, don’t let me go
And if you know, don’t let me go
Cause I love you so
I love you so

I love you so....

The soundtrack of my life(?).

Oh dear god I’m writing this letter to you
Cause I don’t have a clue
Can you help me?


I’m sitting here
Simply trying to figure out
What my life’s all about it
Can you tell me?

I never wanted to be
The person you see

Won’t you tell me who I am?

I always wanted to die
But you kept me alive

Please tell me who I am


I lie awake conducting this symphony,
That you have gifted to me,
but I don't ever sleep

Don’t get mad
Cause I get weak inside
And I start to fall apart

Cause I feel nothing


I never wanted to be
Some kind of comic relief

Please show me who I am

I been tortured and scorned
Since the day that I was born
But I don’t know who I am


And I thank you man for everything
Sorry I’m so frightened about all of this
Oh I wish I could give you more


But all the lights are shining down on me
And I feel violated by it all


I never wanted to be
The person you see but thank you
Oh god please tell me now
Are you disappointed or are you proud
I’ve been also EVRYTHING, EVRYTHING!

I’m so sorry I’m so weak
And I turned into a freak

But I don’t know ANYTHING, ANYTHING!

I’ve lost all self-esteem

A million, everything
And I feel NOTHING, NOTHING!

Oh god please tell me now
God please tell me now
Cause I feel nothing

Oh dear god I’m writing this letter to you
Cause I’m coming undone
Please help me

Well I Wish There Was Someone
Well I Wish There Was Someone
To Love Me
When I Used To Be Someone
And I Knew There Was Someone
That Loved Me
As I Sit Here Frozen Alone
Even Ghosts Get Tired And Go Home
As They Crawl Back Under The Stones
And I Wish There Was Something
Please Tell Me There's Something Better
And I Wish There Was Something More Than This
Saturated Loneliness
And I Wish I Could Feel It
And I Wish I Could Steal It
Abduct It, Corrupt It, But I Never Can
It's Just Saturated Loneliness
Does The Silence Get Lonely?
Does The Silence Get Lonely?
Who Knows?
I've Been Hearing It Tell Me
I've Been Hearing It Tell Me
Go Home
Cause The Freaks Are Playing Tonight
They Packed Up And Turned Out The Lights
And I Wish There Was Something
Please Tell Me There's Something Better
And I Wish There Was Something More Than This
Saturated Loneliness
And I Wish I Could Feel It
And I Wish I Could Steal It
Abduct It, Corrupt It, But I Never Can
It's Just Saturated Loneliness
And The Bath Waters Cold
And This Life's Getting Old
And I Wish I Could Feel It
And I Wish I Could Feel It
And I Wish I Could Steal It
Abduct It, Corrupt It
And I Wish I Could Feel It
And I Wish I Could Steal It
And I Wish I Could Feel It
Abduct It, Corrupt It
But I Never Can
I Never Can
