"Lyrics that describe you"

Sorry folks, got music going round and round my head.
And that ain't a bad thing by any means.
Are there lyrics that describe you? A point in your life? Some that match how you felt at a time and spoke to you?
There are several for me, scarily accurate like there were written after peering into my head.

No Surprises - Radiohead
"a heart that's full up like a landfill a job that slowly kills you..bruises that won't heal, you look so tired_nhappy..bring down the government, they dont speak for us.."
Pretty much describes how I felt before I found my girlfriend, just too much going on in the world that got me down, upset me and there was nothing it seemed I could do about it.

Karma Police - Radiohead
"arrest this man, he talks in math he buzzes like a fridge"
How I feel when I come home most days after work, just a head full of static and noise of things that don't matter.
I go sit and listen to music for 20 mins until I can think again and have found my voice that says "it doesnt matter dude, just a job, let it go"

Can't Bring Me Down - Suicidal Tendencies
"Just 'cos you don't understand what's going on, don't mean it don't make no sense and just 'cos you don't like it, don't mean it ain't no good"
My mental state.
Everything isn't for everyone, but that don't make me right or you wrong.

Everybody Hurts - REM
"When the day is long..and the night is yours alone, when you've had enough of this life, well hold on. Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes"
For moments when it's 2am and sleep is a million miles away, monsters speak and nobody can hear you cry for help.
That's all I will say on this one.

Ok, I've had enough of this topic now, let's hear yours.

2pac (RIP), every song of his I have listened to has described his rough life living in the ghetto when he was younger and about his family and troubles.

There is only one lyric that describes me and my life. I've got it as my little 'quote' thingy too.

DMX - Slippin'
To live is to suffer.....

How Soon is Now by The Smiths

'You shut your mouth
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does'

It reminds me of a girl who said I "didn't try in the right way"

And...
Jeff Buckley's 'Lover you should've come over'

'It's never over,
my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles
when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over,
all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she is the tear
that hangs inside my soul forever
Maybe I'm just too young to keep good love
from going wrong
Lover you should've come over...
'cause it's not too late...'

That one's about the same girl. They are all are really.

More lyrics that describe me...

"Wishing for a summer without rain
Seeing is believing for ourselves
Breathing as we're sinking to the sand

But I will wait for her arms
Then I can reach for the stars
I will wait for her love
Tomorrow shine

Wishing for a lover, not just a friend
Reaching for a hand to pull me in

But I will wait for her arms
Then I can reach for the stars
I will wait for her love
Tomorrow shine
Shine on, shine on

Waiting for a summer without rain
Reaching for the starlet in the sky, again

But I will wait for her arms
Then I can reach for the stars
I will wait for her love
Tomorrow shine

But I will wait for her arms
Then I can reach for the stars
I will wait for her love
Tomorrow shine, tomorrow shine
Tomorrow shine, tomorrow shine
Tomorrow shine, tomorrow shine"
Feeder - Tomorrow Shine

(Another Brick In The Wall part 2 (Whole song))

We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave the kids alone

All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

Here's Some More:

"Polythene, polythene girl
Wrap me up in a cellophane world
Polythene, polythene girl
I'm breaking the seal, never thought I would"
Taken from "Polythene" by Feeder.

"Here comes that radioman
he smiles, but no one sees him, yeah, yeah
Here comes that radioman
Tune in you might hear him"
Taken from "Radioman" by Feeder.

I like Feeder I do.....

There are loads of songs that describe me, especially songs by Feeder, but this sums up my life perfectly. See if you can guess what it's about.

The song's called "Hole In My Head" by Feeder, and is on their third album "Yesterday Went Too Soon."

Remember yesterday?
Driving down the M4
The sun lit up your face

Playing all the tunes
Feeling like a child again
The pain has been erased

I feel much better anyhow
Until I see that black cloud

I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole in my head and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in

Stop looking in

Hide it all away
Keeping your heart inside a box
That no one else can take

Smile it all the way
Holding back a thousand lies
But that was yesterday

I love it when she comes around
Until I see that black cloud

I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole in my head and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in
Got a hole in my head
Got this song in my head

Waiting for the sun to come around
Waiting for the sun to come around

Take another smoke
I though you said you'd give up?
And does your mother know?

Take another rest
Holding out my hand again
I hope that we're still friends

I got a, I got a, I got a, I got a...

I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole in my head and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in
I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole in my head and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in.

Queen Of Hollywood - The Corrs entire song

"I'm taking all you down with me.
Explosives duct taped to my spine
Nothing's gonna change my mind.

I won't listen to anyone's last words,
There's nothing left for you to say
Soon you'll be dead anyway.

No one is getting out alive,
This time I've lost my mind and i don't care,
So close your eyes and kiss yourself goodbye,
And think about the times you spent
And what they meant.
To me it's nothing.

I'm losing all my happiness,
The happiness you pinned on me
Loneliness still comforts me.
My anger dwells inside of me
I'm taking it all out on you and
all the (stuff) you put me through.
Do you ever think back to another time?

Did it bring you so down that
you thought you lost your mind?
Do you ever want to lead a long trail
of destruction and mow down any (stuff) that
confronts you?
Do you ever build up all the small things
in your head,
To make one problem that all adds up to nothing?"

Green Day - Having a Blast
(stuff) replaces the actual lyrics used.

From Mansun's 'Being A Girl':

"My deodorant hides the real me
These things elevate me above the animals"

It's true, I do smell. But I'll never be above a monkey.
