Thats the song i was going to put up. ive told some people i know to lsiten to it. They tend to not know how to make me feel better or what to do ebcause I always go abck to being depressed but that song bascially expains what i want to tell them. especially the line. .."But soon enough you're gonna think of me, And how I used to be"
And also "Rain" by Amanda Marshall.
its amazing how things just 3 or 4 minutes long can express exactly how you feel inside.

"Socio" by Stone Sour......
I remember now, but I stll have my doubts
I think it's gonna be today
Everybody came, but it's just not the same
Why did it have to be today?
Now my chest is tight - no, I am not all right
It doesn't have to be this way
Why does it have to be this way?
I don't know what's wrong,
It's like i'm too far gone
It doesn't matter, anyway
Fear is in my heart - just when I stop, it starts
And I can never live this way
Freedom in a cage - no sun and too much rage
I don't know how much I can take
Push it down inside, but it knows just where I hide
I know that "normal" is hard to fake
Bleeding into life - it's like a thousand knives
Are slowly turning me into this
Why does it have to be like this?
I don't know what's wrong,
It's like i'm too far gone
It doesn't matter anyway
Fear is in my heart - Just when I stop, it starts
And I can never live this way
I lost again, today...
I don't know what's wrong,
It's like i'm too far gone
It doesn't matter anyway
Fear is in my heart - Just when I stop, it starts
And I can never live this way
Living with a curse, sometimes it's even worse
It slowly kills me everyday
Something I despise is gonna take my life
I guess i'll try again today
I remember now, but I stll have my doubts
I think it's gonna be today
Everybody came, but it's just not the same
Why did it have to be today?
Now my chest is tight - no, I am not all right

Like a Rolling Stone Lyrics
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody has ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
A complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

A bunch of Pink Floyd songs from The Wall and Dark Side
And a lot of people say "Authority Song" by John Mellecamp reminds them of me...
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid
Ive come out grinnin
I fight authority, authority always wins
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?

Alanis Morissette, Hand In My Pocket
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
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 shit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby
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
What it all comes down to my friends

I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab...

heaven knows I'm miserable now - the smiths
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
In my life
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I (naturally) fled
In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ?
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour

Something has to change.
Undeniable dilemma.
Boredoms not a burden
Anyone should bear.
Constant over stimulation numbs me
But I wouldnt want you
Any other way.
Just, not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said, I dont want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.
Finger deep within the borderline.
Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Relax, turn around and take my hand.
I can help you change
Tired moments into pleasure.
Say the word and well be
Well upon our way.
Blend and balance
Pain and comfort
Deep within you
Till you will not want me any other way.
But, its not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said, I dont want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.
Knuckle deep inside the borderline.
This may hurt a little but its something youll get used to.
Relax. slip away.
Something kinda sad about
The way that things have come to be.
Desensitized to everything.
What became of subtlety?
How can it mean anything to me
If I really dont feel anything at all?
Ill keep digging till,
I feel something.
Elbow deep inside the borderline.
Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Shoulder deep within the borderline.
Relax. turn around and take my hand.[/b]

My theme for my life (thus far):
"O Fortuna" by Carl Orff
The only one with lyrics from the above is "O Fortuna."
The original is in Latin. The translation is as follows:
O Fortune,
like the moon
you are changeable,
ever waxing
and waning;
hateful life
first oppresses
and then soothes
as fancy takes it;
poverty
and power
it melts them like ice.
Fate - monstrous
and empty,
you whirling wheel,
you are malevolent,
well-being is vain
and always fades to nothing,
shadowed
and veiled
you plague me too;
now through the game
I bring my bare back
to your villainy.
Fate is against me
in health
and virtue,
driven on
and weighted down,
always enslaved.
So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating strings;
since Fate
strikes down the string man,
everyone weep with me!

The lyrics that most sum-up my life to date come from the Pink Floyd song "Wish you were here". Roger Waters wrote the song about his former friend and bandmate Syd Barrett. Syd Barrett was the leader of Pink Floyd until he developed mental illness and was no longer able to function fully in society. I feel that the lyrics echo my own withdrawal from society and that I too have exchanged "a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage".
Wish You Were Here
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

OPEN YOUR EYES
All this feels strange and untrue
And i wont waist a minuite without you
My bones ache my skin feels cold
And im getting so tired and so old
The anger swells in my guts
And i wont feel these slices and cuts
I want so much to open your eyes
Cause i need you to look into mine
Tell me that you`ll open your eyes
Get up get out away from these liars
Cause they dont get your soul and your fire
Cause they dont see what i see in you
Take my hand knot your fingers through mine
And we`ll walk from this dark room for the last time
Every minute from this minute now
We can do what we like anywere
I want so much to open your eyes
Cause i need you to look into mine
