What song sums up best how you feel right now?

Asked by Steve_A (5130points) February 2nd, 2010

You can only pick one.Just pick it and tell me why is it the lyrics, the song itself, something specific maybe even memories?

For me its

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftV_XepIwpo

I have not been happy at all for the past year(more than that but I don’t wanna sound like a whiny brat), but I feel the more I get rid of “excess things” the more I feel better , a little closer to what I want.Diggin my way shoveling the old dirt away.

I also like the lyrics of this song, there simple but speak to me, and the songs mood fits well its not really aggressive or mellow/sad just kind of yelling it out, a cleansing to me.

“I’m diggin’ my way
I’m diggin’ my way to somethin’
I’m diggin’ my way to somethin’ better

I’m pushin’ to stay
I’m pushin’ to stay with something
I’m pushin’ to stay with something better

I’m sowin’ the seeds
I’m sowin’ the seeds I’ve taken
I’m sowin’ the seeds I take for granted

This thorn in my side
This thorn in my side is from the tree
This thorn in my side is from the tree I’ve planted
It tears me and I bleed
And I feel”

Everyday is Exactly the Same – Nine Inch Nails
(Just one of those days today.. I wish I was back in my bed..)

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I’ve been told
I really don’t want them to come around

Oh, no

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I’m happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can’t remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

I’m writing on a little piece of paper
I’m hoping someday you might find
Well I’ll hide it behind something
They won’t look behind
I’m still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don’t know, I don’t know what else I can do

Relax, but I don’t want to come, not just yet anyway.

Ha! TImely Q! I put a line from A Brand New Day from The Wiz on my FB status this morning, apropos of nothing. I mean, sure, I’m still not working, I’ve got no fella and my bank account is pretty close to zero, but I feel good today.

Everybody look around
‘Cause there’s a reason to rejoice you see
Everybody come out
And let’s commence to singing joyfully
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we’ve been waiting for

Everybody’s glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can’t you feel a brand new day?
Can’t you feel a brand new day?
Can’t you feel a brand new day?
Can’t you feel a brand new day?

Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness

Hello world
It’s like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we’d be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we’ve got liberty

It’s such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can’t you feel a brand new day?
Can’t you feel a brand new day?

you sexy thing – hot chocolate. 100%

Only yesterday I was on my own
Just another day later my mind was blown
You sexy thing come into my life
Forever and a day it feels so right
How did ya’ know that I’d be the one
Been a long time coming only just begun
Doing all the things that makes my heart sing
Keep doing what you’re doing you sexy thing

How did ya know I needed you so badly
How did ya’ know I gave my heart gladly
Yesterday I was one of a lonely people
Now you’re lying next to me
Making love to me

I believe in miracles
Where you from
You sexy thing
You sexy thing
I believe in miracles
Since you came along
You sexy thing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rsxf1g3AKE Korn, Here To Stay

This time, taking it away
I’ve got a problem
With me getting in the way
Not by design
So I take my face and bash it into a mirror
I won’t have to see the pain

This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again

The hurt inside is fading
This shits gone way too far
All this time I’ve been waiting
Oh I cannot grieve anymore
For once inside awaking
I’m done, I’m not a whore
You’ve taken everything
and, Oh I cannot give in anymore

My mind’s done with this
Ok, I’ve got a question
Can I throw it all away?
Take back what’s mine
So I take my time, guiding the blade down the line
Each cut closer to the vein

This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again

The hurt inside is fading
This shits gone way too far
All this time I’ve been waiting
Oh I cannot grieve anymore
For once inside awaking
I’m done, I’m not a whore
You’ve taken everything
and, Oh I cannot give in anymore

I’m here to stay (bring it down)
I’m here to stay (bring it down)
I’m here to stay (bring it down)
I’m here to stay

Bring it down (lots of times)

Gonna break it down (this lots of times too)
GONNA BREAK IT!

This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again

The hurt inside is fading
This shits gone way too far
All this time I’ve been waiting
Oh I cannot grieve anymore
For once inside awaking
I’m done, I’m not a whore
You’ve taken everything
and, Oh I cannot give anymore

EXCEPT! maybe slightly less intense =P too tired for that =]

Tom Traubert’s Blues
(Tom Waits 1976)
Wasted and wounded, it ain’t what the moon did
Got what I paid for now
See ya tomorrow, hey Frank can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you?
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You’ll go a waltzing Matilda with me

I’m an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks English and everything’s broken
And my Stacys are soaking wet
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You’ll go a waltzing Matilda with me

Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab’s parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open
And I’m down on my knees tonight
Old Bushmill’s I staggered, you buried the dagger
Your silhouette window light
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You’ll go a waltzing Matilda with me

Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I’ve kissed her
And the one-armed bandit knows
And the maverick Chinaman and the cold-blooded signs
And the girls down by the strip-tease shows
Go, waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You’ll go a waltzing Matilda with me

No, I don’t want your sympathy
The fugitives say that the streets aren’t for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories
They want a piece of the action anyhow
Go, waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You’ll go a waltzing Matilda with me

And you can ask any sailor and the keys from the jailor
And the old men in wheelchairs know
That Matilda’s the defendant, she killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You’ll go a waltzing Matilda with me

And it’s a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace
And a wound that will never heal
No prima donna, the perfume is on
An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers
The night watchman flame keepers and goodnight to Matilda too
