Music has been a fundamental piece throughout my life, it has accompanied me and has taught me throughout this journey that we know as "life". Some lyrics that probably didn't make sense or didn't feel like my own back in the day, now I identify myself and can connect better after certain experiences, etc. In fact, many times some learning or advices that I use comes from some excerpts of songs.

 

Some I can share...

 

From Cheryl's "Fight for this Love" 

"Too much of anything can make you sick,

Even the good can be a curse."

 

From Björk's "It's Not Up to You"

"I can decide what I give,
But it's not up to me
What I get given."

 

I think the next has been there during my very low's, personally one of my favorite lyrically.

 

From Avril Lavigne's "Nobody's Home"

"Her feelings, she hides
Her dreams, she can't find
She's losing her mind
She's falling behind
She can't find her place
She's losing her faith
She's falling from grace
She's all over the place."

 

From P!nk's "Try"

"Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try."

 

Feel free to share some of your favorites, perhaps to motivate yourself, to keep going, to help you live better on your daily basis, that makes you feel less lonely, whatever you feel but can relate to that and feel it as "personal".

Smack my a$s like a drum !

 

 

Yo d!ck brick hard like a medal (uhh)
I got 3 holes for it like a pretzel (uhmm)
Tight as a virgin boy don't get nervous (tight)
I'm here to serve you customer service (right)
I save d!ck by giving it CPR 

When there's no time for joking, there's a hole in the plan...

 

All of the moments thatve already passed...we'll try to go back and make them last, all of the things we want each other to be, we never will be 

Taylor Swift - Cardigan

But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
And you'd be standin' in my front porch light
And I knew you'd come back to me

 

Mariah Carey - Breakdown

So, what do you do when somebody you're devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride and sing "I will survive"
Do you lash out and say "How dare you leave this way"
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away

 

Kylie Minogue - Limbo

I see them all smiling, those all around me
They tend to my wounds and alert my senses
And it would be nice but I'm not here
I'm dreaming, holding on
Time has no meaning, all of it wasted
It smothers me 'til there's no more air
When will it be that I can breathe again?
I'm waiting in the void

Demi Lovato - Happy Ending

I tried love
Gave me something to believe in
Planning futures from the start, giving pieces of my heart
Just to end up leaving

Am I gonna die trying to find my happy ending?
And will I ever know what it's like
To be fine without pretending that my

Skin isn't crawling, my demons aren't calling
And tearing me to shreds?

 

Demi Lovato - Everything You're Not

I used to sing to your twisted symphony
The words that had me trapped inside your misery
But now I know the reason why I couldn't breathe

'Cause all I want is everything you're not

 

Demi Lovato - California Sober*

Trading judgment for freedom
Found somethin' new to believe in
Somethin' inside of me screaming
"Don't be so hard on yourself"
Look up, somethin' has shifted
My heavy spirit is lifted
I found myself

 

Ethel Cain - Western Nights

I’d hold the gun if you asked me to
But if you love me like you say you do
Would you ask me to

 

Ethel Cain - A House in Nebraska

Your mama calls me sometimes
To see if I'm doing well
And I lie to her
And say that I'm doing fine
When really I'd kill myself
To hold you one more time
And it hurts to miss you
But it's worse to know
That I'm the reason
You won't come home

 

Ethel Cain - A House in Nebraska

You know, I still wait at the edge of town
Praying straight to God that maybe you’ll come back around
I cry every day, and the bottles make it worse
'Cause you were the only one I was never scared to tell I hurt
And I found photographs of our school, on the day we met
I thought that you were so beautiful, it was love, I guess
And you might never come back home, and I may never sleep at night
But God, I just hope you're doing fine out there, I just pray that you're all right

 

 

*I know this song is controversial but the meaning I give to those lines has nothing to do with the singer's state of sobriety back in the day.

Maybe some lyrics about coming out to yourself? 
 

„Metamorphosis
Whatever this is
Whatever I'm going through
Come on and give me a kiss
Come on, I insist
I feel something new
Metamorphosis

Everyday is a transformation
Everyday is a new sensation
Alteration
Modification
An incarnation
Celebration”

 

here's some random choices that make me feel the feels

 

The Beach Boys - A Day in the Life of a Tree

"But now my branches suffer
And my leaves don't bear the glow
They did so long ago

 

One day I was full of life
My sap was rich and I was strong
From seed to tree I grew so tall
Through wind and rain I could not fall

 

But now my branches suffer
And my leaves don't offer
Poetry to men of song

 

Trees like me weren't meant to live
If all this world can give
Pollution and slow death

 

Oh Lord I lay me down
No life's left to be found
There's nothing left for me"

 

Bruce Springsteen - Sundown

"I'm twenty-five hundred miles from where I wanna be [...] So I work all day out here on the county line
I tell myself it's all just gonna work out in time"

 

Bobbie Gentry - Fancy

"Now in this world, there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrites
That'd call me bad
And criticize mama for turning me out
No matter how little we had"

 

(e.g.) Dean Martin - The Things We Did Last Summer

"The leaves begin to fade like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong
That things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long"

 

Dolly Parton - Starting Over Again

"Starting over again
Now where do you begin
When you've never been out on your own?
Starting over again
Never any end
When your dreams are all shattered

And the kids are all grown

And all the king's horses
And all the king's men
Could never put mommy and daddy back together
Back together again"

 

Coldplay - Talk

"So you don't know where you're going and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen, but you feel ignored
Nothing's really making any sense at all, let's talk"

 

 

 

The ultimate life is a journey lyrics from one of the most empowering songs ever:

 

Christina Aguilera - The Voice Within

"Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you're learning
You'll find all you'll ever need to know (Be strong)
Break it (hold on)
You'll make it (be strong)
Just don't forsake it because (hold on)
(No one can tell you what you can't do)
No one can stop you, you know that I'm talking to you

When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within"
