A Place For My Head by Linkin Park. Not all the time, but when it's bad it's bad.
Great song, honestly I like the Tommy profitt version of “in the end” as well
Sum 41 Pieces
Gambino - Lithonia
Bo Burnham - That Funny Feeling
I like the question.
I had to think of two songs immediately:
Coldplay - Magic. I really feel the lyrics but the "of course I do" at the end always leaves me in tears.
Daft Punk - Touch. I always interpret the song as a robot struggling to become sentient, but it also reminds me of my process of leaving behind my angry and frustrated teen and early twenties self because I realized that it made me unhappy.
I second Touch! Though just with my own experience I project some level of transness onto the robot. Sort of this feeling, or moment, of finally becoming “living” and knowing what human contact and connection feels like, but struggling to find it.
Seatbelts - Gotta Knock a Little Harder
Friend of Mine and Headlights by Charlie Cunningham
"The tears I might have shed for your dark fate grow cold and turn to tears of hate."
From The Phantom of the Opera, after being cheated on and physically abused by my ex. He's a widower and used it as an excuse for his behavior.
Falling In Reverse & Jellyroll - All My Life,
Fox Stevenson - Don’t Care Crown,
Quinn XCII - Tough
probably lemon tree by fools garden
I wonder how and I wonder why.
Mah’s Joint - Jon Bellion
“When my mother was a mother to my mom”
Always brings me to tears
Product of my Own Design - Artio
“Get on your knees and pray to me
The problem child becomes the only God you'll ever see
You made me believe that I was never mine
I made my goddamn self, a product of my own design”
This song is fairly explicitly about being trans and struggling being seen as who you really are by family. It’s not really trying to be sad about it though, more empowering in spite of that struggle. Great song.
For those of you who don’t want to click the link their song of choice is:
(Bob Geldof - The Great Song Of Indifference)
Rush - Losing It.
Also Marathon
it's a little sappy but Chappel Roan's Red Wine Supernova is what finally broke through my thick skull and cracked my egg 7 or so months ago. Specifically the line about standing there in gogo boots and a short skirt waiting for a pretty girl to bite on you. I kept listening to it over over and i just thought it was neat and then this lightbulb went off and i realized oh hey i want that to be me. I'm the girl in the skirt wanting to be bit!
Jeff Rosenstock: "The Fuzz"
I have no clue. I don't listen to lyrics because ADHD. The voice is just another instrument to me.
Gojira: L'enfant Sauvage
The drum in that is wild
It's All White Noise by Charli Morgan.
I just wanna be something good. I just wanna leave something decent. I just wanna make something I don't hate.
The Skin i Live In by Rav
Why does a song have to have lyrics in order to evoke strong emotion?
