 is there a song that just really seems like it's narrating a part of your life?
For me, it's Never Went to Church by The Streets
i'll post the lyrics that get to me most:
We never went to church,
Just get on with work and sometimes things'll hurt,
But it's hit me since you left us,
And it's so hard not to search.
If you were still about,
I'd ask you what I'm supposed to do now,
I just get a bit scared,
Every now,
Hope I made you proud.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Put your hand up and interrupt the conversation with a, but..
People say I interrupt people with the same look.
Sometimes I think so hard I can't remember how your face looked,
Started reading about dreams in your favourite book.
Panic and pace when I can't see the right thing to do.
You'd be scratching your head through the best advice you knew.
And I feel sad I can't hear you reciting it through,
I miss you dad but I've got nothing to remind me of you
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I never cared about God when life was sailin' in the calm,
So I said I'd get my head down and I'd deal with the ache in my heart,
And for that if God exists I'd reckon he'd pay me regard,
Mom says me and you are the same from the start
------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess than you did leave me something to remind me of you,
Everytime I interrupt someone like you used to,
When I do something like you you'll be on my mind or through,
'Cause I forgot you left me behind to remind me of you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
But you you still tell me how you didn't know what to do even now,
And then I'm not so scared somehow,
'Cause I know that you'd be proud.
it's talking about when his dad died...change the "mum"s to "dad"s and vice versa, and you get my situation...nearly exactly
though it was over a year ago...
so, post yours' =]

I don't have one like that, but I can in some way relate to I'm Not Okay by My Chemical Romance because people are always asking me if I'm okay and I always say I am.... But sometimes I'm not...
Well, if you wanted honesty thats all you had to say
I never want to let u down or have you go
It's better off this way
For all the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems (I'm not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the words but dunno what it means (I'm not okay)
To be a joke and look
Another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time
Take a good hard look
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book
But the pages are all torn and frayed now
I'm okay
I'm okay!
I'm okay now (I'm okay now)
But you really need to listen to me
'Cause i'm telling the truth
I mean this
I'm okay! (trust me)
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-f**king-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay (okay)

Another one is 7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen) by Fall Out Boy because when I was diagnosed with juvinile diabetes I was very depressed and overwhelmed.
I'm sleeping my way out of this one
With anyone who will lie down
I'll be stuck fixated on one star
When the world is crashing down
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own
The only thing worse than not knowing
Is you thinking that I don't know
I'm having another episode
I just need a stronger dose
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own
this part:
The only thing worse than not knowing
Is you thinking that I don't know
I'm having another episode
I just need a stronger dose
especially because my mom had been treating me like I didn't know how to take care of myself, like she would always check to make sure I had everything I needed. And the second part of that verse because when your blood sugar gets too low or too high you can have an "episode". (I really don't like it when my mom talks to someone about me having an "episode") And if your your blood sugar is too high, you take 'a stronger dose' of insulin. Yeah, I know that song is actually about a suicide attempt, but it still kind of fits...

Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day.
I don't like posting lyrics. But I feel I can relate to it, somehow.

I'd have to agree with Genius to Madness about I'm Not Okay. I feel like I'm always saying that I'm okay when I'm really not.
I'd probably say Clocks by Coldplay too. I'll post different parts of it that affect me.
"Gonna come back and take you home."
"Am I a part of the cure, or a part of the disease?"
"When Nothing else compares..."
"Home is where I wanted to go."

I find it kind of strange to be influcenced by a really popular radio hit song, but every time I hear Snow (Hey Oh) by The Red Hot Chili Peppers I get really emotional. It's such a spiritual song, not in like a churchy, Jesus Christ kind of way, but in an actual human soul kind of way. It honestly brought a tear to my eye the first time I heard it. It's such a powerful song, and it makes me feel that it's okay to have problems, and it's okay to need to be fixed by something more powerful than yourself because you realize how hopeless you are. I don't know, probably comes off as a strange rant to everyone else, but the song really speaks to me. C:
Come to decide that the things that I tried were in my life just to get high on.
When I sit alone, come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time.
Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice.
Hey oh... listen what I say oh
I got your hey oh, now listen what I say oh
When will I know that I really can't go
To the well once more - time to decide on.
Well it's killing me, when will I really see, all that I need to look inside.
Come to belive that I better not leave before I get my chance to ride,
Well it's killing me, what do I really need - all that I need to look inside.
Hey oh... listen what I say oh
Come back and hey oh, look at what I say oh
The more I see the less I know
The more I like to let it go - hey oh, woah...
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow,
Finally divided by a word so undecided and there's nowhere to go;
Inbetween the cover of another perfect wonder and it's so white as snow,
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.
Ho!
Went to descend to ammend for a friend of the channels that had broken down.
Now you bring it up, I'm gonna ring it up - just to hear you sing it out.
Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do belive what we rely on,
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice
Hey oh... listen what I say oh
I got your hey oh... listen what I say oh
The more I see, the less I know
The more I like to let it go - hey oh, woah...
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow.
Finally divided by a word so undecided and there's nowhere to go
Inbetween the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.
I said hey hey yeah oh yeah, tell my love now.
Hey hey yeah oh yeah, tell my love now.
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow,
Finaly divided by a word so undecided and there's nowhere to go.
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow...
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.
I said hey oh yeah oh yeah... tell my love now
Hey yeah yeah... oh yeah.

Well...I've never really thought about ONE song in particular. But if I had to choose, I'd probably say...
Paramore's for For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic.
Just talk yourself up
And tear yourself down
You've hit your one wall
Now find a way around
What's the problem?
You've got a lot of nerve
So what did you think I would say?
No, you can't run away, you can't run away
So what did you think I would say?
No, you can't run away, you can't run away
You wouldn't
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away
I'm not so naïve
My sorry eyes can see
The way you fight shy
Of almost everything
Well, if you give up
You'll get what you deserve
So what did you think I would say?
No, you can't run away, you can't run away
So what did you think I would say?
No, you can't run away, you can't run away
You wouldn't
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away
You were finished long before
We had even seen the start
Why don't you stand up, be a man about it?
Fight with your bare hands about it now
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay, well did you?
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
And I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
The bold sections are the part I feel like I can agree with the most. =/

You had at me at Hello. Right at this moment I really feel like The Spill Canvas: Saved, and Brand New: Jesus Christ are summing it all up for me.
The Spill Canvas: Saved
I am unbreakable
But it looks like I could sometime soon
You are unreachable
About as possible as me
Touching the moon
I am unraveling unbearably empty
And if this ground gives way
I just hope that you catch me
You came and saved me tonight
Defending all my life
Woah
Now I'm content with my breath
'Cause I'm alive
This is the epitamy
Of everything you see in the movies
This world is a time bomb ticking
And I think that I could stop it
If you help me
I am unraveling unbearably empty
And if this ground gives way
I just hope that you catch me
You came and saved me tonight
Defending all my life
Woah
Now I'm content with my breath
'Cause I'm alive
My faith will never rust
No longer prone to bust
Oh finally
I believe
You are unreachable
But it looks like I could sometime soon
I am unraveling unbearably empty
And if this ground gives way
I just hope that you catch me
You came and saved me tonight
Defending all my life
Woah
Now I'm content with my breath
'Cause I'm alive
Brand New: Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ
That's a pretty face
The kind that you'd find on someone
That could save
If they don't put me away
Well it'll be a miracle
Do you believe you're missing out?
That everything good is happening somewhere else?
But with nobody in your bed
The night's hard to get through
And I
Will die all alone
And when I arrive
I won't know anyone
Well Jesus Christ
I'm alone again
So what did you do
Those three days you were dead?
'Cause this problem's gonna last
More than the weekend
Well Jesus Christ
I'm not scared to die
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot?
Do I float through the ceiling?
Do I divide
And fall apart?
Cause my bright is too slight
To hold back all my dark
And this ship went down
In sight of land
And at the gates
Does Thomas ask to see my hands?
I know you're coming in the night
Like a thief
But I've had some time alone
O Lord
To hone my lying technique
I know you think
That I'm someone you can trust
But I'm scared that I'll get scared
And I swear I'll try to nail you back up
Do you think that we could work out a sign?
So I'll know that it's you
And that it's over
So I won't even try
Would it be okay, would it be okay if I took your breath away?

For some reason this song really gets to me.... It's Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
(break and solo)
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

One of the many songs that get to me is Chris Cornell's "Moonchild":
Open your arms to the lonely shine
Lonesome as gold in a poor man's smile
See how the moon is full
Follow the push and pull
Follow the ebb and flow in the breathing tide
Come on moonchild, you're so far away tonight
The door is falling open and we're flying wild
Cat on the road, down in the living night
See how the black dog grins
In the diamond light
We're dreaming and we're real
We're broken and we're healed
Give in to what you feel over what you see
Come on moonchild, you're so far away tonight
The door is falling open and we're flying wild
Come on moon flower
You're so far away from now
You could bloom forever in the hour
And when if is only yes and no
And now becomes too soon
I know you'll be alright if you only
Come away to the moon
In the blue shine
Come on moonchild, you're so far away tonight
The door is falling open and we're flying wild
Come on moon flower
You're so far away from now
You could bloom forever in the hour

Something about this song makes me want to cry all the time, just because it's so beautiful.
I love Stars. <3
'Your Ex-Lover is Dead' by Stars.
God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name
This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
You tried to reach deep but you never got in
And now you're outside me you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin
Nothing but time and a face that you'll lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news
From the house down the road from real love
Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back
There's one thing I have to say so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

Another one is "Hotel California" by the Eagles. I don't know why, really... On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
this could be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain,
please bring me my wine
He said, we havent had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said we are all just prisoners here, of our own device
And in the masters chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just cant kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
relax, said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!
