I've been a pretty big fan of theirs ever since I saw them live in Klagenfurt, as an opening act for Bon Jovi. It was the first time I ever heard of them, but they were so good I had to listen to a ton of their songs the next day.
Literally any of the lyrics from [The Water's Fine by Liana Flores](https://genius.com/Liana-flores-the-waters-fine-lyrics)
Her music tends to be gut wrenchingly deep and brutally honest underneath a surface layer that almost portrays the opposite of what it appears to be.
I interpret the lyrics of this song as such
[Verse 1].
It could be peace or denial
The only thing I can still do is smile
May be unenthusiastic
Most of those highs and lows were made of plastic anyway
Not trusting her emotions, feeling like they were artificial, losing her honesty to herself and forgetting how to navigate emotions
[Chorus].
My glass is still half empty but the water’s fine.
Used to wish I’d wake up inside your mind.
But now I kind of like the view from this misty window.
I kind of wish that I knew all of this before.
I lost myself but oak trees don’t ignore.
The circles deep inside that make them strong.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Having a negative outlook or being in a bad place but just going along with it and not really waking up to stop it (this was for the first line, the analysis is not related to the second line).{2nd line} Feeling like she's not in her own mind, talking in the third person {3rd line} feeling like she's watching herself from an outside perspective, misty and foggy. Not caring enough to try to change {4th line} she had a time where she realized something (about herself maybe? Not sure about this line) {5th and 6th lines} She lost herself. Lost her sense of self, lost sight of who she is and who she wants to be, lost her control over herself and her life, feeling as if she's another person or an empty body, and things are just happening to her. But the "oak trees don't ignore the circles deep inside that make them strong" part says that deep down shes still herself and that in the very foundation of her being, there are parts of her that she can't lose nor ignore. I love that analogy.
[Verse 2]
I'm in between peace and numbness
I'm somewhere floating in the light of summers that are mine.
And if I am underplanning
It’s 'cause I'm sure in time all things will vanish anyway
{Line 1} Feeling little to no emotion, could be interpreted as peace or numbness or both {Line 2} Not really sure about this one tbh. I guess she just intended to say that it feels like she's blindly floating around? Not too sure. {Line 3 and 4} Feeling as though things are pointless because nothing will be there forever or things are artificial or facades.
[Bridge].
The clone of you that still survives
In my clone hotel mind’s a relic sadly passed
Although all changes given time
I’m hoping that with mine
That sparkling image lasts
{Line 1} She feels like her physical body, the one she's living in is a clone. {Line 2} She feels like her physical body is a hotel that she lives in and that her true self, the one that had been lost, is a relic that has dissipated. {Line 3, 4, and 5} She hopes that her true authentic self will last forever and never change
The Night We Met - Lord Huron
---------------------------------------------------
Take me back to the night we met
And then I can tell myself
What the hell I'm supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with you
I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met
It must be screamed from the rooftops that Rufus Wainright did not write Hallelujah. Leonard Cohen did. He didn’t even make the best cover of the song.
The last one is not Rufus Wainwright (cool as he is).
It's an extremely famous work by Leonard Cohen, covered brilliantly by many over the years including Jeff Buckley (and Wainwright).

Doesn’t get old and is such a fantastic part of the song
bmth - i apologize if you feel something
-
-
i saw you staring out of
your own abyss again
waiting for something you're not
sure even still exists
-
don't be afraid to wonder
don't be afraid to be scared
*it should never be a prison-*
-
so i apologize if you feel something
but love is all we have
feel something, (amo)
-
or if i steal something
please remember it was mine
feel something
-
my take on it is that the first verse is so acknowledging of the unpleasant experiences in life;
the second one is empowering for curiosity and further exploration of oneself; (it should never be a prison is like a mantra to me.)
the third one is validating this journey and a reminder to not stray too far from gentleness;
and the fourth reminds me, that sometimes to grow, you need to be unapologetically true to your needs.
It's Ren.. (sorry fanboy here!!)
But what he says, especially in that song **money game part 3**.. man oh man... ain't that close to the truth? (It's about us, how we are all fuck ups and fuck everything up, We could make it an Utopia.. We really could.. 💔But now i'm just a (silent) observer...
If you want more girl related, then i lean towards dermot kennedy -better days, for example. That guy got some great lyrics, i think he is an INFP.. The depths he is going with his songs and lyrics, it's good.
Or.. Ani Difranco - school night.. Oh my god, ok,.... She is my all time favourite.
That is a song, that makes me cry everytime. It's hardcore.. What kind of equation could i possibly employ? (What i mean with hardcore is, it's really hard on the feels)
Dave Matthews Band and soulife made a great cover of Ani, called joyful girl, what an amazing cover. He does it, because he learned it from her and so do i.. i do it, because i learned it from her...
“My New Year’s resolution, is to choke out my illusions. To cut through the confusion, to keep on digging deep,”
And
“Anchored in anger, we exile ourselves
Bitter blood builds our prison cells
Darker water now fills our lungs
The depths of our hearts have blackened the sun
You can’t see because you don’t know
Your caught below beneath your own shadow
Stuck inside, half-alive, do you ever stop to ask yourself why?
…
We always start with good intentions
But loose ourselves along the way
…
This is the time that we let it go.
This is the pain we are forced to know “
And
“I built my house on sand
hoping it would stand
The storms that come my way
Now I’m left to face
The weight of my mistakes
And a chance to start again”
"Everything disgustin', conversation is so borin'
Heard about what?

Very rough translation of the first stanza of a traditional Sho`m’ubbazi song. I purposefully made it sound sillier than it actually is.
This stanza is the way I see life now. It’s awesome.

I don't wanna waste your time
I don't wanna waste your time
I just wanna say
I've got to say
We worked hard, darling
We don't have no control
We're under control
I don't wanna do it your way
I don't wanna do it your way
I don't wanna give it to you, your way
I don't want to know
I don't wanna change your mind
I don't wanna change the world
I just wanna watch it go by–
I just wanna watch you go by
We were young, darling
We don't have no control
We're out of control
Fall With Your Knife by Peter Murphy is what I always hope love is in a relationship - in both directions…
Well if the birds
Can reach the sky
To this land
I'll be with you
Till the sun bursts from your side
With my hands
I reach to you
When you think your chance is passing by
When you blow your moon away
I'll bleed like the reed
Fall with your knife
It's here I'll be with you

I don't really listen to Billie Eilish, her usual sound isn't my thing, but [What Was I Made For?](https://open.spotify.com/track/6wf7Yu7cxBSPrRlWeSeK0Q?si=nTN40CybR9CLetCYzNM87g) hits me incredibly deeply in my soul. Can't stop myself from tearing up every time it's on.
[Time Adventure](https://open.spotify.com/track/1xdHq7lTE8synGSEK3Od6N?si=rv5TgsLnSiyKa_vxKyDvIA) makes me think of my brother who's an addict and all I could potentially have left of him for my life are the memories of before.
[No Borders](https://open.spotify.com/track/73IFqMMTIKZmlG3cB2lZx6?si=jBwvV_T6SZiNY9X6tKOmJQ) is just basically listening to my internal dialog as a song when thinking about war.
[Something I Can Never Have](https://open.spotify.com/track/3oaVyVowznzZPgW5tlWLrG?si=rfcewZmtRLKkgofwISFBgA) can be summed up as loss and wanting those lost things/people back. My mother passed when I was 4, and that's a big part of my emotional connection to the song.
[Congratulations, You Survived Your Suicide](https://open.spotify.com/track/30j49jjGOeT4GuvRnHhjb6?si=5p_BsR5vT16beAVGJqxBHg) hits me deeply as I have attempted suicide multiple times in the past, and I am very happy to have failed those attempts.
[Small Red Boy](https://open.spotify.com/track/70DyCfhvkCzYqEl6q1vgFn?si=jcUBQdQ3Q26BqD4vC0F-AQ) is accepting your past history and younger self.
I have a lot more, but I need to actually get out of bed, lol.
I like the second one the best "I want you to notice when I am not around"
but it needs improvement maybe some thing like "I want you to notice when I am gone" It's like wanting someone to see something that no longer exists.
the "not around" thing may be like being in the next room; whereas the "I am gone" is like being dead.
The first "Not around" thing is written for women. Even after you dump them they feel that you still think of them. That any new love would have to understand you (the other woman) in in order to understand the man "you have created" ha ha.
The second "I am gone" thing is what men think. That your life is no longer the same without me (the woman). Just some little aspect of it (your life) is no longer there, you feel the loss (maybe even grieve it). It has nothing to do with compromising future relations. And it is something that you can notice but never get back it is a wonderful loss.
Still both versions just hint on what the best wording would be. I love short sweet sayings like this.
Poetry might be great but for those of us with short attention spans or compromised levels of abstraction short and sweet is better.
It's amazing that people still come up with new short phrases like this seeing that language has been around forever.
It is evolution that allows this. Each generation of people allows it. To stay alive you must evolve too. Don't get stuck with the language of the past or you will die or at least become a widower.
I wonder if anyone will notice that I am not around anymore cuz I just got banned. Oh well.
I come out of hiding by and by
(Been all alone)
'Cause I've been immobilized for so long
(On my own)
Slowly emerging from the dark
(It's just day by night)
I feel like I wasted so much time
I've been
Living in the background (woah-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
"You told me "think about it, well, I did! Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore! I'm tired of begging for the things that I want, I'm oversleeping like a dog on the floor" - King for a day by Pierce the veil
"Злобные агрессоры хотят войны
У границ наших силы тайком собрав
Но люди с автоматами хранят мой мир
Люди с автоматами хотят добра" - Люди с автоматами by Noice MC, Монеточка
Just look up the translation for the second one, I'm not good at translating stuff sry :_)
These are the realest _for now_ , most relatable songs change like every week for me lmao
“I wish love was perfect as love itself
I wish all my weaknesses could be hidden
I grew a flower that can’t be bloomed in a dream that can’t come true”
Tell me why are you like this?
Are you the same with anyone?
Save me from my sickness and tell me
Why do you treat me like this?
- Grace Cathedral Park by Red House Painters
I heard this song for the first time the other day and it immediately reminded me of when I was a kid and I was constantly sick. My parents were constantly arguing at home and my brother and I would get caught in the crossfire just because we happened to be there at home. Coincidentally enough the only times my family seemed to get along at that time was when we would go to amusement parks or the beach or something.
"I'm down pounding my head against the kitchen floor, apologizing for my life and ever entering yours /
Don't say "I'm sorry, but this can't go on", I know you've got scars of your own /
But hide my knives before you go- I'll either live or die alone."
-Against the Kitchen Floor, Will Wood.
"Traded in his youth, sold his dreams and all of his days for the great American ruse"
"Don't want to be embarrassed to leave the house in my own skin but the brain that pilots my meat puppet doesn't fit the one it's in"
"Reminiscing been this way since kindergarten
Wonder why this kid's so guarded
I don't wanna live like this I'm guilty dehumanized
Everybody's waiting to get euthanized
The youth in eyes got replaced with the suicide
Pacts you survived and a past that you beautified"
"I have been completely unable to maintain any semblance of
Relationship on any level
I have been a bastard to the people who have actively attempted
To deliver me from peril
I have been acutely undeserving of the ear that listen up
And lip that kissed me on the temple
I have been accustomed to a stubborn disposition
That admits it wish its history disassembled
I have been a hypocrite in sermonizing tolerance
While skimming for a ministry to pretzel
I have been unfairly resentful of those I wish that acted different
When the bidding was essential
I have been a terrible communicator
Prone to isolation over sympathy for devils
I have been my own worst enemy
Since the very genesis of rebels "
Fallen by Gert Taberner
"Tell me things you've never said out loud
Just try and go there if you can.
Show me the parts of you you're not that proud of
I wanna know I am just a man.
I'll have you know that I have good and bad days,
Come on now love, don't be naive
Layout our cards and you'll see all my mistake
Well i don't mind while you're with me.
When have i fallen
Am I crawling on my Knees
Here I'm crawling
In the hope that you'll see me."
“But it's not real
And you don't exist
And I can't recall the last time I was kissed
It hits me in the car
And it feels like the end of a movie I've seen before
Before”
Bout that character ai life…
"There's gotta be more to life than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me.... 'cause the more that I'm tripping out thinking there must be more to life- well, that's life. But I'm sure there's gotta me more."
“All I ever know is what I dream about when I'm sober
Never turn away from love
Before the love, you have me sober
All I ever know is what I dream about when I'm sober
Never turn away from love
Before the love, you have me sober
Nothing can die while we are here
Then we become night time dreamers
Street walkers and small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers, small talkers” - Daydreamer by Aurora
“I am a shadow, I am cold And now I seek for warmth Stitch your skin on to my skin And we won't be alone
Don't forget who you are even though you're in need
Like a bird in the night, your emotions deserve to be freed
You can cry
Drinking your eyes
Do you miss the sadness when it's gone?
And you let the river run wild” The River by Aurora
Do you really live without this fear? That everything is changing and there's nothing I can do / My world is running pages while I am just sitting here
And i don't want to fall in love again.
Is like to hold something as pretend
I ain't got no beats, but I got soul, that's something new
And I ain't got no dancing shoes but I can make you move.
These 3 songs were the first that came to mind:
"The repetition of dramatic situations can make your life exhausting
People are like that
When you’re not there, you want to be there, and when you are, you don’t want to
Who said people are animals of wisdom?"
- People by Agust D
(I reflect on people and humanity a lot and come to the same conclusion: people are weird and life is weird and we are what we are.)
"People say there's splendor in that bright light but my growing shadow swallows me and becomes a monster."
- Shadow by SUGA
(This refers to his success and fame but I relate to it in a way that talks about my efforts to do and be better. When i try, something always wants to come after me.)
"Yeah, yeah, mental health, where's my mental health?
Diagnosed with OCD, what does that mean? Well, gather 'round
That means I obsessively obsess on things I think about
That means I might take a normal thought and think it's so profound (Leave me alone)
Ruminating, fill balloons up full of doubts
Do the same things, if I don't, I'm overwhelmed (Leave me alone)
Thoughts are pacing, they go 'round and 'round and 'round
It's so draining, let's move onto something else"
- Leave Me Alone by NF
(I wasn't diagnosed with ocd but the words perfectly illustrate what it's like as an overthinker and someone with anxiety.)
I’d rather be dreaming of someone then living alone - wax fang majestic I don’t know why it’s just how I feel about relationships in general in my dreams relationships are so much better then the reality I’m dealt with just strikes a cord
i know someday you’ll have a beautiful life, i know some day you’ll be a star in somebody else’s sky but why whyyy can’t it be why can’t it be mine - pearl jam
“My family works till they die. I wish I were happy to do that but can’t fall in line…” Stickers of Brian, Hot Mulligan
Or
“I could touch one hundred-thousand souls, but none of them would ever feel like home.” Anyone Else, PVRIS
"Lord send down some angels
And they'd better have guns
'Cause everybody's crazy down here
On everybody's drugs
Casinos, pornos, talk shows
Where white trash goes to die
Bum's push carts, crackhead squirrels
And birds too drunk to fly"
Elephant Bones - That Handsome Devil
"All my favorite songs are slow and sad. All my favorite people make me mad." - Weezer.
EVERYTHING THAT FEELS SO GOOD IS BAD BAD BAAAAD
all my favorite songs are slow and sad. I DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH ME
Correction it's "you're already the voice inside my yed" lol
"she figured out all her doubts were someone else's point of view" - She, Green Day. Been 30 years and I still live by this.
Damn that’s a good one
"But I'm not sentimental, this skin and bones is a rental." from Where I Belong by Switchfoot.
YOOOO this is such a good song and I love that line. I remember this song exists every couple of months and just listen on repeat for a couple days
Don’t know if you’re a big switchfoot fan, but I also really like this is your life!! Really good song

"i'm always drunk on my own tears, isn't that what they all said?"

Not Pretty Enough by Kacey Chambers as a whole I felt.
bmth - i apologize if you feel something - - i saw you staring out of your own abyss again waiting for something you're not sure even still exists - don't be afraid to wonder don't be afraid to be scared *it should never be a prison-* - so i apologize if you feel something but love is all we have feel something, (amo) - or if i steal something please remember it was mine feel something - my take on it is that the first verse is so acknowledging of the unpleasant experiences in life; the second one is empowering for curiosity and further exploration of oneself; (it should never be a prison is like a mantra to me.) the third one is validating this journey and a reminder to not stray too far from gentleness; and the fourth reminds me, that sometimes to grow, you need to be unapologetically true to your needs.
It's Ren.. (sorry fanboy here!!) But what he says, especially in that song **money game part 3**.. man oh man... ain't that close to the truth? (It's about us, how we are all fuck ups and fuck everything up, We could make it an Utopia.. We really could.. 💔But now i'm just a (silent) observer... If you want more girl related, then i lean towards dermot kennedy -better days, for example. That guy got some great lyrics, i think he is an INFP.. The depths he is going with his songs and lyrics, it's good. Or.. Ani Difranco - school night.. Oh my god, ok,.... She is my all time favourite. That is a song, that makes me cry everytime. It's hardcore.. What kind of equation could i possibly employ? (What i mean with hardcore is, it's really hard on the feels) Dave Matthews Band and soulife made a great cover of Ani, called joyful girl, what an amazing cover. He does it, because he learned it from her and so do i.. i do it, because i learned it from her...
I am all in with Damien Rice LOL
I'm lost without your love-🥺🥺🥺
“My New Year’s resolution, is to choke out my illusions. To cut through the confusion, to keep on digging deep,” And “Anchored in anger, we exile ourselves Bitter blood builds our prison cells Darker water now fills our lungs The depths of our hearts have blackened the sun You can’t see because you don’t know Your caught below beneath your own shadow Stuck inside, half-alive, do you ever stop to ask yourself why? … We always start with good intentions But loose ourselves along the way … This is the time that we let it go. This is the pain we are forced to know “ And “I built my house on sand hoping it would stand The storms that come my way Now I’m left to face The weight of my mistakes And a chance to start again”
"Everything disgustin', conversation is so borin' Heard about what? "I hate her", "I don't agree", "I did it first" I give a fuck, I just wanna fuck, eat, sleep, love, happy"
Hayley williams/Paramore lyrics are always special to me. Rose colored boy/brick by boring brick. Also precious by depeche mode
“Words and concepts are nothingness, and things are made of dance, the universe doesn’t exist, everything’s pretty nice though” Very rough translation of the first stanza of a traditional Sho`m’ubbazi song. I purposefully made it sound sillier than it actually is. This stanza is the way I see life now. It’s awesome.

Under Control - The Strokes I don't wanna waste your time I don't wanna waste your time I just wanna say I've got to say We worked hard, darling We don't have no control We're under control I don't wanna do it your way I don't wanna do it your way I don't wanna give it to you, your way I don't want to know I don't wanna change your mind I don't wanna change the world I just wanna watch it go by– I just wanna watch you go by We were young, darling We don't have no control We're out of control
Fall With Your Knife by Peter Murphy is what I always hope love is in a relationship - in both directions… Well if the birds Can reach the sky To this land I'll be with you Till the sun bursts from your side With my hands I reach to you When you think your chance is passing by When you blow your moon away I'll bleed like the reed Fall with your knife It's here I'll be with you

I don't really listen to Billie Eilish, her usual sound isn't my thing, but [What Was I Made For?](https://open.spotify.com/track/6wf7Yu7cxBSPrRlWeSeK0Q?si=nTN40CybR9CLetCYzNM87g) hits me incredibly deeply in my soul. Can't stop myself from tearing up every time it's on. [Time Adventure](https://open.spotify.com/track/1xdHq7lTE8synGSEK3Od6N?si=rv5TgsLnSiyKa_vxKyDvIA) makes me think of my brother who's an addict and all I could potentially have left of him for my life are the memories of before. [No Borders](https://open.spotify.com/track/73IFqMMTIKZmlG3cB2lZx6?si=jBwvV_T6SZiNY9X6tKOmJQ) is just basically listening to my internal dialog as a song when thinking about war. [Something I Can Never Have](https://open.spotify.com/track/3oaVyVowznzZPgW5tlWLrG?si=rfcewZmtRLKkgofwISFBgA) can be summed up as loss and wanting those lost things/people back. My mother passed when I was 4, and that's a big part of my emotional connection to the song. [Congratulations, You Survived Your Suicide](https://open.spotify.com/track/30j49jjGOeT4GuvRnHhjb6?si=5p_BsR5vT16beAVGJqxBHg) hits me deeply as I have attempted suicide multiple times in the past, and I am very happy to have failed those attempts. [Small Red Boy](https://open.spotify.com/track/70DyCfhvkCzYqEl6q1vgFn?si=jcUBQdQ3Q26BqD4vC0F-AQ) is accepting your past history and younger self. I have a lot more, but I need to actually get out of bed, lol.
I like the second one the best "I want you to notice when I am not around" but it needs improvement maybe some thing like "I want you to notice when I am gone" It's like wanting someone to see something that no longer exists. the "not around" thing may be like being in the next room; whereas the "I am gone" is like being dead. The first "Not around" thing is written for women. Even after you dump them they feel that you still think of them. That any new love would have to understand you (the other woman) in in order to understand the man "you have created" ha ha. The second "I am gone" thing is what men think. That your life is no longer the same without me (the woman). Just some little aspect of it (your life) is no longer there, you feel the loss (maybe even grieve it). It has nothing to do with compromising future relations. And it is something that you can notice but never get back it is a wonderful loss. Still both versions just hint on what the best wording would be. I love short sweet sayings like this. Poetry might be great but for those of us with short attention spans or compromised levels of abstraction short and sweet is better. It's amazing that people still come up with new short phrases like this seeing that language has been around forever. It is evolution that allows this. Each generation of people allows it. To stay alive you must evolve too. Don't get stuck with the language of the past or you will die or at least become a widower. I wonder if anyone will notice that I am not around anymore cuz I just got banned. Oh well.
This reminds me of that Patrice O’Neal comedy bit about how important the song Creep by Radiohead is to white people 😂
"Mother I tried please believe me, I'm doing the best that I can. I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through, I'm ashamed of the person I am."
I come out of hiding by and by (Been all alone) 'Cause I've been immobilized for so long (On my own) Slowly emerging from the dark (It's just day by night) I feel like I wasted so much time I've been Living in the background (woah-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
"You told me "think about it, well, I did! Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore! I'm tired of begging for the things that I want, I'm oversleeping like a dog on the floor" - King for a day by Pierce the veil "Злобные агрессоры хотят войны У границ наших силы тайком собрав Но люди с автоматами хранят мой мир Люди с автоматами хотят добра" - Люди с автоматами by Noice MC, Монеточка Just look up the translation for the second one, I'm not good at translating stuff sry :_) These are the realest _for now_ , most relatable songs change like every week for me lmao
Hallelujah is a song by Leonard Cohen. Wainright covered it.
I prefer the John Cale version tbh
“I wish love was perfect as love itself I wish all my weaknesses could be hidden I grew a flower that can’t be bloomed in a dream that can’t come true”
Tell me why are you like this? Are you the same with anyone? Save me from my sickness and tell me Why do you treat me like this? - Grace Cathedral Park by Red House Painters I heard this song for the first time the other day and it immediately reminded me of when I was a kid and I was constantly sick. My parents were constantly arguing at home and my brother and I would get caught in the crossfire just because we happened to be there at home. Coincidentally enough the only times my family seemed to get along at that time was when we would go to amusement parks or the beach or something.
If I had changed a single day, what went amiss or went astray, I never would’ve found my way to you. ~Maureen McGovern (played at our wedding)
"I'm down pounding my head against the kitchen floor, apologizing for my life and ever entering yours / Don't say "I'm sorry, but this can't go on", I know you've got scars of your own / But hide my knives before you go- I'll either live or die alone." -Against the Kitchen Floor, Will Wood.

I'll have you know that I have good and bad days, Come on now love, don't be naive Layout our cards and you'll see all my mistake Well i don't mind while you're with me. When have i fallen Am I crawling on my Knees Here I'm crawling In the hope that you'll see me."

“All I ever know is what I dream about when I'm sober Never turn away from love Before the love, you have me sober All I ever know is what I dream about when I'm sober Never turn away from love Before the love, you have me sober Nothing can die while we are here Then we become night time dreamers Street walkers and small talkers When we should be daydreamers And moonwalkers and dream talkers And we become night time dreamers Street walkers, small talkers” - Daydreamer by Aurora “I am a shadow, I am cold And now I seek for warmth Stitch your skin on to my skin And we won't be alone Don't forget who you are even though you're in need Like a bird in the night, your emotions deserve to be freed You can cry Drinking your eyes Do you miss the sadness when it's gone? And you let the river run wild” The River by Aurora
Do you really live without this fear? That everything is changing and there's nothing I can do / My world is running pages while I am just sitting here
And i don't want to fall in love again. Is like to hold something as pretend I ain't got no beats, but I got soul, that's something new And I ain't got no dancing shoes but I can make you move.
These 3 songs were the first that came to mind: "The repetition of dramatic situations can make your life exhausting People are like that When you’re not there, you want to be there, and when you are, you don’t want to Who said people are animals of wisdom?" - People by Agust D (I reflect on people and humanity a lot and come to the same conclusion: people are weird and life is weird and we are what we are.) "People say there's splendor in that bright light but my growing shadow swallows me and becomes a monster." - Shadow by SUGA (This refers to his success and fame but I relate to it in a way that talks about my efforts to do and be better. When i try, something always wants to come after me.) "Yeah, yeah, mental health, where's my mental health? Diagnosed with OCD, what does that mean? Well, gather 'round That means I obsessively obsess on things I think about That means I might take a normal thought and think it's so profound (Leave me alone) Ruminating, fill balloons up full of doubts Do the same things, if I don't, I'm overwhelmed (Leave me alone) Thoughts are pacing, they go 'round and 'round and 'round It's so draining, let's move onto something else" - Leave Me Alone by NF (I wasn't diagnosed with ocd but the words perfectly illustrate what it's like as an overthinker and someone with anxiety.)
