Is there a song you have heard that embodies how you are without you having to conform to the lyrics? Is there a band that seems to hit home with every one of their songs? Are there songs out there that just rub you so wrong that you wish they had never been created? Go ahead and tell us about it!

personally, I have to say the song Broken Heart by Motion City Soundtrack is a very good one for me, and that band seems to be in my head half the time.

I’ll start this broken heart
I’ll fix it up so it will work again
Better than before
Then I’ll star in a mystery
A tragic tale of all that’s yet to come
Fingers crossed there will be love

But I get carried away with every day
And every fantasy
the deeper the wound,
the harder I swoon and wish that that was me

So much to say
But no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
But I’m getting used to it, you have to get used to it

I’ll devise the best disguise
A brand new look and take them by surprise
They’ll never guess what’s not inside

I’ll express myself with ease,
With confidence and character complete
With fingers crossed they’ll talk to me

But I get carried away with every page
In every magazine
The cheaper the thrill
the deeper I fill my head with blasphemy

So much to say
But no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
But I’m getting used to it, you have to get used to it

I’ll destroy this useless heart
I’ll fuck it up so it’ll never beat again
Not just for me but for anyone

But I get carried away
with every phrase and made up malady
The longer I hide behind these lies,
The more I disintegrate

So much to say
But no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
You never get used to it, you just have to live with it

However, there is also a song that drives me absolutely batty. I cannot STAND Dynamite by Taoi Cruz. Every time I hear it, it makes me want to punch babies and kick puppies I get so mad. (no babies or puppies were harmed in the making of this comment.)

This is a song that is me and my fiance's song due to how accurate it is =)

As for songs that irritate me to no end... well that's easy...this one

well there are two. One I've known for a while, the other I just found this weekend.

The first one is "No Reins" by Rascal Flatts. I'm not a huge fan of country, but I love the lyrics.

Like a painted wild mustang
Flyin' out across the open range
Finally gets to live her life that way
No fear, no fences, nobody - no reins

No Reins

All she's ever felt is held back
She says, "It's kinda nice to hear myself laugh"
She's gonna do a lot more of that
She's makin' plans and makin' tracks
She said, "Oh, oh I gotta go and find me"
Oh, oh she found the strength to break free

All my life, I've felt like I was second behind my older sister (25). My older brother really never battled against me for affection. But I'm realizing that I'm not breaking free of the reins of some guy (like in the song), I'm breaking free of the reins I made myself to keep in the sight and attention of my parents. I'm growing up and finding my own way.


The other is called 'I like you, I love you' by Kagamine Rin, Vocaloid.

Take your eyes off the monitor
I have to simulate distance
And yet I watch that idiot
My throat is dry and I can't speak
Sigh... What to do
I'm being honest, you see....
No good, it's as scary as ever
I want to convey my feelings
Why is it so hard?
He-he-he-hey, hey, could you wait a minute?
If you're busy, sorry
Just a little, hey, a little while
I want to talk with you
What can I do? What's the point
Um.. ro-ro-rock, paper, scissors!
Rock, paper, scissors, iced coffee, I think
I'm sorry, I'm pretty boring

The reason why this song speaks to me, is because my boyfriend is a huge gamer, and even before we were dating I was that flirtatious but shy friend. I never knew what to say around him. And listening to this song reminds me of how silly I was.

at the moment it is Electric Worry from Clutch.


Doctor or lawyer, I’ll never be.
Life of a drifter - only life for me,
You can have your riches, all the gold you saved.
Cause’ ain’t room for one thing in everybody’s grave.

"Passive" by A Perfect Circle kind of hit me when I first heard it, because the lyrics ("Wake up and face me, don't play dead 'cause maybe, someday, I will walk away and say, 'You disappoint me, maybe we're better off this way") really remind me of so many relationships, mostly friendships, I've been in and eventually had to walk away from. Pretty much every song by OTEP really affects me, but I identify with the lyrics to one of their songs, "You're a Woman Now", really strongly.

Stars litter the sky
The moon is shining high
This soft September night
Two lovers creep out of sight

A maiden dressed in white with copper hair
Restless for adventure, she don't care
That the wolf is in disguise, she's been ensnared
He's got the Devil in his eyes and stylish flair

He shoves her to the ground
Her soul begins to drown
A sky full of eyes where the stars should be
A sky full of eyes watching silently

You're a woman now
You've become a woman now
The weight of the cradle has broken the bough
You've become a woman now

Mama woke me up at dawn
She helped me get my best dress on
She braided flowers in my hair
So sweet was the summer air

I'm to meet my groom down by the sea
A perfect stranger to correct me
The judges arrive in pairs of three
Don't be scared, just relax and breathe

'Cause good girls hold real still
Surrender your free will
They cracked the crown to pluck the pearl
Here, on the jagged edge of the world

You're a woman now
You've become a woman now
The weight of the cradle has broken the bough
You've become a woman now

Standing on the welfare line
My daughter clinging to my side
I see the faith in her eyes
I whisper, "Baby, we will be just fine,

I'll get a good job and find a new place
And work real hard and we'll make our escape
I promise you I'll get us through
Together, we will bloom"

You're a woman now
You've become a woman now
The weight of the cradle has broken the bough
You've become a woman now

You're a woman now
You've become a woman now
You're a woman now
You've become a woman now

Pretty much every song by Buckcherry and Theory of a Deadman makes me want to punch something (no offense, fans). I really hate anything poppy or country, but it's the lyrics that make a song unbearable for me, so there a tons of songs I just cannot listen to without committing violence against inanimate objects.

Hey Dreamer, I've moved this over to the music forum for you. :)

Pretty much everything of Scott Weiland's (solo and with Stone Temple Pilots) gets to me. He often references much deeper pain than I'll ever feel (thankfully), but his words, tone, and voice just sort of seeps in. It's difficult to describe, but yeah, I'd say it speaks to me.

As for rage-inducing songs... "I Hate My Life" by Theory of a Deadman. It... At the risk of offending a Theory of a Deadman fan, I won't go into why, I'll just leave it at that I really dislike that song. :lol:

When it comes to an individual song -- well, that changes on a pretty regular basis. As my mood changes, as I hear new songs that fit better, the songs that fit me are going to change.

As far as one band hitting the nail on the head... I'm interpreting that as being the band that turns my personality into something audible, and that would have to be He Is Legend. The vocalist's voice has even changed drastically due to loads of cigarettes and whiskey, which happen to be my two favorite bad habits. It's like they were made for me. Haha.
Interesting, though, that they're not my #1 favorite band. Hmm.

A song that really speaks to me, in a lot of ways, is a song by one of my favorite Blackened Death Metal band Behemoth. The song is called Ov Fire and the Void,

I the Sun ov man
The offspring ov the stellar race
My halo fallen and crushed upon the earth
That I may bring balance to this world

I son ov perdition
From sheer nothingness transgressed
Unto the highest self -- to utmost freedom
To explore the starry nature ov my rage

I pulse ov existence
The law ov nature undenied
I hold the torch ov Heraclitus
So I can shake the earth and move the suns

I divine Iconoclast
Injecting chaos into my veins
With life accepted
With pain resurrected
Is the embrace ov god in man profound

The joy ov a dawn
The ecstasy ov dusk
Nourished have I this karmic flow
Where great above meets great below
Let it be written!
Let it be done!
Scattered I walk towards the fractured light

There is a lot of meaning in this song, dug deep where, if one choose, could see the deeper meanings and not the obvious.

Well there, re a lot of songs that really get to me but a couple that I think I really connected with was "What have you done" by Within Temptation, "My immortal" by Evanescence and "D-Technolife" by Uverworld (Japanese group). Here's the rough translation that I've found, I don't think it's perfect but it'll do.

You've been hurt by an unhealed pain, in sadness
We'll go on being burdened with our undisappearing pasts
I hold your hand
Not abandoning life

Will we lost it all one day?
I want to protect you and your smile, but they're fading away
Even the voice that calls out to me is dying
The wind that follows along time disappears
I find you

You've been hurt by an unhealed pain, in sadness
"I can't smile anymore, I don't like people", don't say those words
A future that can't be seen will occur, there's meaning in that
For right now everything is fine as it is now; certainly you must notice that the time is coming
Just like someone who's rusty

Lying atop one another is futile
You said that you could live your life alone
You began to ache with the mundane kind words
So much that now they aren't coming to you

Wow, your hand that I'm holding
Wow, longs for a casual gentleness
Do you remember?
By knowing pain, you can be gentle to someone
Drive your life

You have been hurt by an unhealed pain, in sadness
"I can't smile anymore, I don't like people", don't say those words
A future that can't be seen will occur, there's meaning in that
For right now everything is fine as it is now; certainly you must notice that the time is coming
Just like someone who's rusty

How can I see the meaning of life
It's disappearing, you're the only...

You who are leaving, wished for it not to break
"I can't smile anymore, I don't like people", don't say those words
Now, by and by, I won't be able to see
There is meaning in all of that
We'll go on being burdened with our undisappearing pasts
Not abandoning life

You'd better forget everything
Remember... your different life?
You'd better forget everything
Remember... there's no going back
But wow, throughout time, one day, we'll understand
Like a warped memory

Although the song that I probably connect with the most is "Caladonia" as I am Scottish and PROUD OF IT!!!!!

I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid
That I might drift away
I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I've come from
That's the reason why I seem
So far away today

[Chorus:]
Let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me, now I'm going home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Now I have moved and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing
Found others on the way
I have kissed the fellas and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
I have traveled hard, sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind

[Chorus]

Now I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, the forest choir
The flames have cooled, don't get any higher
They've withered, now they've gone
But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear
And I know what I will do tomorrow
When hands have shaken, the kisses float
Then I will disappear

[Chorus]

Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

The band tha I really connect with (or seem to) is Within Temptation. I don't know why but their music really really seems to go with me and I love it!
Another group is 'Celtic Woman' (I know, opisites much?) They're just...their music is beautiful and I love listening to it! Their version of Caladonia is my favourite at the moment and also their song "Isle of hope, isle of tears," is nice as it tells the story of a journey.

Okay, I'll stop rambling now.
