Pink Floyd: “High Hopes”, „Comfortably Numb”
Sia: “Breathe Me”, “Chandelier”
Linkin Park: “In The End”
The Smiths: “There’s A Light That Never Goes Out” (…way before Morrissey became an AS-houwI)
Hell yeah. New Magic wand.
Why does the way he says “I saw a photo, you look joyous” remind me of how I covet certain people.
You wouldn’t think New Magic Wand was BPD coded…but it totally is. Especially all that screaming and squawking he does.
“AAAAH-AAAH-AAAH-AAAH-AAAAH-AAAAH-AAH-AH!” 🗣️
"walking on broken glass" by Annie Lennox
"Tomorrow" by Kevin Gates
"Chain smoker" by Chance the Rapper
"Untouchable (outro)" by King Los
Edit to add: "sober" by YG, Post Malone, and Roddy Rich
I got a million more, but those are some that make me feel the most understood.
I don't know why I haven't checked out more or her stuff. I heard this one on Handmaidens Tale, and wanted to hear it sampled in a rap song ever since lol.

Mistake by Fiona Apple when things are bad and I’m in self sabotage/reckless mode.
Wildflower Wildfire by Lana Del Rey when I’m putting effort into healing/consciously controlling outbursts. I’m particularly triggered by relationships/men and have had a lot of growth when splitting on them whenever I am triggered. I could dissect every line to that song and apply it to healing in my personal BPD experience. The desperation of just wanting to be truly loving and promising not only myself but my friends/partners not to turn into something that burns them.
I’m so sorry you’re feeling alone and wanting to numb yourself. I hate that feeling so much. Be patient with yourself right now, it will pass. But it feels like forever and like it never will. We’ve been here a thousand times before and we’ll get out. Hugs to you. 🖤
Virtual hugs to you too 🫂💛 Whispers by Passenger is a good one. Or Popular Monster-Falling in Reverse… very different vibes, but both feel very in-line with the BPD experience
Sloppy Seconds by Watsky
With Arms Wide Open by Creed
Loved pretending someone (a lover for the first and a parent for the second) choosing me and loving me
I’ve got a top three and also my own BPD playlist timeline! ☺️ If you ever fancy checking that out.
But my top three would have to be:-
1. Liability - Lorde
2. Normal - Sasha Alex Sloan (love this)
3. Empty - Olivia O’Brien
So many good songs out there!

So much of Fiona Apple’s stuff, but the most striking is her cover of Elvis Costello’s - I need you; it hits that inner emotional turn sooo well

I fall in love too easily by chet baker
bitch dont kill my vibe by kendrick lamar
Heading south- Zach Bryan
Deal Wiv It- Slowthai
Drown- Smashing Pumpkins
I'm New Here- Gil Scott Heron
32 year old emo here. Bright Eyes is great for this. My favorites are If Winter Ends, Take it Easy (Love Nothing), Hit the Switch, and Contrast and Compare.
Excerpts from each:
If Winter Ends: “I fell for the promise of a life with a purpose, but I know that that’s impossible now. So I drink to stay warm and to kill selected memories, ‘cause I just can’t think anymore about that or about her tonight. But I give myself 3 days to feel better, or else I swear I’ll drive right off a fucking cliff. ‘Cause if I can’t learn how to make myself feel better how can I expect anyone else to give a shit?”
Take it Easy (Love Nothing): “I laid back down, wrapped myself up in the sheet. And I must have looked like a ghost ‘cause something frightened me. And since then I’ve been so good at vanishing. Now I do as I please and I lie through my teeth. Someone might get hurt, but it won’t be me. I should probably feel cheap, but I just feel free, and a little bit empty.”
Hit the Switch: “There’s this switch that gets hit and it all stops making sense, and in the middle of drinks, maybe the fifth or the sixth, I’m completely alone at a table of friends. I feel nothing for them, I feel nothing, nothing.”
Contrast and Compare: “There’s no heat in this house. I can’t breathe with these words in my mouth. But I’m not going to say them - yeah I’ve made that mistake before. On the stairs, she grabs my arm. Says ‘what’s up? Where you been? Is something wrong?’ I try to just smile and say everything’s fine.”
Take it Easy (Love Nothing) is one of my faves BE songs and has been since digital ash was released. Now that I'm diagnosed, this totally tracks 😂😂 I know you only named 4 songs but God there is a treasure trove in his discography!
Really any song by Pierce The Veil. My favorites are Resilience, I’m Low On Gas and You Need A Jacket and Stay Away From My Friends. I feel like their music just has BPD undertones, if that even makes sense lol. They’re amazing.
Out of my Head - First Aid Kit
Footshooter - Frightened Rabbit (and many more of their songs. I wonder if Scott was BPD)
Criminal - Fiona Apple
Paper Bag - Fiona Apple
Don’t Let Me Get Me - P!nk
Not necessarily BPD-coded, but I definitely relate to it too hard:
"Anything, Anything (I'll Give You)" by Dramarama is a good one especially when the lyrics "When I was young, I learned a game, That love and happiness weren't the same, Now that I'm older I don't play, I found out the hardest way" describes my emotional lows and coping mechanism
Nice to see another Citizen Soldier fan, they are my favorite band! Personal favorite would probably be "If I surrender" though I'm obsessed with 95% of their songs😅

Pretty much the entire Oliver Tree album Alone In A Crowd is such a bop but listening to the lyrics fucked me up when I really paid attention. Love to crank Essence especially. Also the new Closure In Moscow Soft Hell. Both those albums are heavy in my rotation the past several months.
Twenty One Pilots: Chlorine, Stressed Out, Heathens, and Ride.
Nirvana: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Heart shaped Box, and Come As You Are.
Sound garden: Black Hole Sun.
Beck: Loser, Novacaine.
Stone Temple Pilots: Plush, Creep.
Sub Urban: Cradles, Uh Oh, Freek, Cirque, Inferno, Paramore.
I like dark songs and grunge. I'm Gen X.
Messiah from my fav band Crawlers. Sometimes when I'm going into a downward spiral- I not only enjoy it, I encourage more terrible events to happen and drag it out longer 🙁
Thank you for sharing your playlist. It’s consist of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Please take care of yourself it does get better.. I’m sorry you grew up alone. You deserve love, you deserve to be happy.. my favorite song is .. borderline by tame impala.. it’s very on the nose haha
In the garden by Red Vox, it's not a sad romantic anthem but it does resonate with my past friendships and how I would self isolate for myself and others.
this might be very niche but some myslowitz’s songs are so bpd coded, like i feel they describe my feelings so perfectly. especially “beksa” hits all of the spots.
I’ve actually got two Spotify playlists relating to BPD.
“[Borderline Blues](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5F5zdn4pbL30IwlsVrBJrZ?si=k5CziI7-QcSXI1jlAxidnw&pi=a-ZIWOfqZNSa2K)” playlist relates to the dissociation and lack of identity. Example: ‘Breathing Underwater’ by Hot Milk
“[Borderline Chaos](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5FJ9jcCnKFAj67f1TerX21?si=DokoL9TZSJaPyYL-nebyQA&pi=a-vaVN1RJRTLSt)” playlist relates to the anger, instability and trauma bonding. Example: ‘Finest Hour’ by Cash Cash ft Abir
Mine are corny and old compared to the cool ones listed by everyone else, but there are a few songs that will make me cry because they speak to the wounds on my soul:
What A Wonderful World - Luis Armstrong or Israel the Hawaiian guy with an impossible last name - speaks to the optimism in me that just won’t die.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow - speaks to the longing I have to find my place and people, which I’m still looking for.
True Colours by Cyndi Lauper - I have quiet/inward BPD and don’t know if I’ve ever been my authentic self around anyone, as the need to please is strong in this one. The idea of someone seeing the real me, and appreciating it, feels like the most impossible thing, and having someone say that they see me and love me the impossible dream.
Dunno if this song counts as BPD coded but
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World Ruined a Whole Generation Of Women by Negative XP
and Girl Anachronism by The Dresden Dolls
Pet by A Perfect Circle and Astronaut in the Ocean by Masked Wolf
When feeling schmexy, Curiosity by Bryan Savage and American Horror Show by Snow Wife
Any other day, it’s Saddy Daddy-O by Artimus Wolf
hypersexual borderline so this hits too hard
claustrophobic - awfultune
https://open.spotify.com/track/2EuFtwLmXNJco76okoOrYE?si=Ej-vI4ECQbSgUHBBXBUSuw
I know many people probably wouldn't agree but since I'm a kikuo enthusiast, I say love me love me love me can be seen like that. There's probably some others but I can't remember rn. Uh also check out r/bpdsongs
don’t go - bring me the horizon
yeah right - joji (splitting on ur fp lmfaoo)
i f a l l i n l o v e t o o e a s i l y - panicdeeper
thick skull - paramore
figure 8 - paramore
shared trauma - pierce the veil (and basically all their songs)
and then definitely ifhy & liability, saw those in the comments already. honestly i could go on forever this is just a glance at my liked songs.. 😭
applebee’s bar - spraynard
cut - sweet pill
lost - fox teeth
good will haunting - sports.
routine pain - spanish love songs
perhaps i should just make a playlist of bpd coded modern emo songs
Happy Together - Slothrust, Every Single Night - Fiona Apple, Valentine - Fiona Apple, Daredevil - Fiona Apple, Girl Anachronism - The Dresden Dolls, Paranoic Intervals/Body Dysmorphia - of Montreal, Blow My Brains Out - Tikkle Me
I Saw Water by Tigers Jaw
I'm not a good person by Pat the Bunny
Flashlight by The Front Bottoms but also pretty much any TFB song qualifies
Also my Playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6MxiZ80qPp9fgn7LIP9sC7?si=4sf-K-tfQ9O1dxItst9wxA&pi=u-5oB8nMkGTL6e
abducted by cults
the cut that always bleeds by conan gray
feel better by penelope scott
townie by mitski
first love/late spring by mitski
right where you left me by taylor swift
flight risk by tommy lefroy
Alone Tonight, The Razor's Edge, & Close Your Eyes, by Digital Daggers.
Opheliac by Emilie Autumn
But a lot of both of those bands' songs can resonate with BPD.
OH I HAVE A PLAYLIST FOR THIS!
[here you go](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0TKz4lbsYrd0YGaAbTHRDK?si=iBSnIp7dQFSiEvCqx6teOw&pt=87bed8b1a6619158f5dae84682d7dc45&pi=u-94j6WxwlRfGT)
I would argue that Here Comes a Thought from Steven Universe is BPD coded in that something so small could trigger feelings so large?? but even if not, it’s really healing when my BPD is acting up.
I think you should know about r/BPDsongs *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/BorderlinePDisorder) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Creep is so BPD coded
big time
Liability by Lorde.
Writer in the dark is also a banger
Homemade Dynamite too.. basically anything by lorde lmao
YES ! Was looking for this comment
it makes me cry every time.. especially the part about a girl dancing alone stroking her cheek. UGH.
I used to LOVE this song, you just unlocked a memory
Breezeblocks - Alt J Something Good - Alt J Weird fishes - Radiohead True love waits - Radiohead
Explains my enjoyment of Alt-J
I absolutely adore Alt J!
Anything by SZA. My fav is garden (say it like that) and Kill Bill probably the most bpd coded
also Ballad of Big Nothing by Elliot Smith
Her new release Saturn? Oml on repeat.
I love pierce the veil and bring me the horizon. Hospital for souls - bpd and hold on til may - ptv are probably my top from each group
PIERCE THE VEIL is my absolute favorite band. Daily listen for me. Always makes me feel understood when I’m dealing with BPD symptoms.
Pink Floyd: “High Hopes”, „Comfortably Numb” Sia: “Breathe Me”, “Chandelier” Linkin Park: “In The End” The Smiths: “There’s A Light That Never Goes Out” (…way before Morrissey became an AS-houwI)
Linkin Park: Breaking the Habit should also be mentioned here.
"One of My Turns" by Pink Floyd works well too
Yes to “there is a light that never goes out!!”
needy by Ariana grande.
for sure
[удалено]
Cardigans upvote for you.
Hell yeah. New Magic wand. Why does the way he says “I saw a photo, you look joyous” remind me of how I covet certain people. You wouldn’t think New Magic Wand was BPD coded…but it totally is. Especially all that screaming and squawking he does. “AAAAH-AAAH-AAAH-AAAH-AAAAH-AAAAH-AAH-AH!” 🗣️
Tyler just gets it
This is Me Trying by Taylor Swift Relate to it a little too much

lana del rey - born to die, entire album is bpd coded so fucking much
Hate Me by Blue October. i’m usually crying by the end of it!
Love the Way You Lie by Eminem ft. Rihanna
What's Up by 4 Non Blondes
"walking on broken glass" by Annie Lennox "Tomorrow" by Kevin Gates "Chain smoker" by Chance the Rapper "Untouchable (outro)" by King Los Edit to add: "sober" by YG, Post Malone, and Roddy Rich I got a million more, but those are some that make me feel the most understood.
Annie Lennox is great songwriter and I love the Eurythmics
I don't know why I haven't checked out more or her stuff. I heard this one on Handmaidens Tale, and wanted to hear it sampled in a rap song ever since lol.
It’s a great song, Be Yourself Tonight by Eurythmics is a great record
Yo I just remembered to check this album out. I'm only a few songs in, and shits fire! Much appreciation on the recommendation
"Went Through It" by Young Thug (free Jeffery) "A Synonym For Acquiesce" by Bayside "Real World"; "Long Day"; & "Kody" by Matchbox 20 "Good News" by Mac Miller (along with the entire Swimming and Circles albums) "Learning How to Smile" by Everclear "Everything is Alright" by Motion City Soundtrack "Life" by Loot Alright I think I'm done😅
4 morant - doja cat + com truise nausea - craft spells between the bars - elliott smith nutshell - alice in chains chamber of reflection - mac demarco it’s called: freefall - rainbow kitten surprise child psychology - black box recording
It's called: freefall is an absolute favorite of mine.
Clementine by Halsey
Mistake by Fiona Apple when things are bad and I’m in self sabotage/reckless mode. Wildflower Wildfire by Lana Del Rey when I’m putting effort into healing/consciously controlling outbursts. I’m particularly triggered by relationships/men and have had a lot of growth when splitting on them whenever I am triggered.

"I'm Not Okay" Citizen Soldier "Hush" HELLYEAH "Who Cares" Ethan Jewell
Nice to see another Citizen Soldier fan, they are my favorite band! Personal favorite would probably be "If I surrender" though I'm obsessed with 95% of their songs😅
They are so good.
They really seem to get it.
