Paranoid Android - by Radiohead
Best song in the world.....

"please could you stop the noise I'm trying to get some rest,
from all the unborn chicken voices in my head,
when I am king you will be first against the wall
with your opinions which are of no consequence at all"

I think like this all the time.


or maybe "Worrywort" - by Radiohead.
or infact anything by radiohead really!!! *is a big fan*

Live Forever by Oasis

For me it has to be Matchbox 20 's Unwell.

All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something

Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why

[Chorus]

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be...me

I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind

[Chorus]

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away

[Chorus]

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell

I've been lurking on this site for a long time now -- and this topic sparked my interest only because it seems like music is my only *true* friend. I have been making a lot of progress with SA, but I thought I might suggest a few songs for everyone's listening pleasure : ).

Jason Mraz - The Remedy
Jack Johnson - Think Clearly
Jack Johnson - Losing Hope
Jack Johnson - Confused
Jack Johnson - It's all Understood

Here's a great theme song to live your life by:

Happy 05' all!

The Sign Post

Why then do I avoid the highways
Where the other travelers go,
Search out the hidden pathways
Through the snowy mountain tops?

I've committed no crime
That I should hide from other men -
What is the foolish compulsion
That drives me into desolation?

Signposts stand along the highways
Pointing to the cities,
And I wander ever further
Without rest and look for rest.

Before me I see a signpost standing
Fixed before my gaze.
I must travel a road
From which no one ever returned.

From Schuberts 'Winterreise'. Perfect SA music - 70 or so minutes of unrelieved gloom.

And 'Creep' by Radiohead is 'My Song'.

Creep is the "schlim schlam schnip schnap"! Get the acoustic version on kazaa if you can find it!

There are alot of songs out there that I can relate to my SA but I also liked Unwell when it first came out. Used to always turn it up everytime I heard it

2pac + Notorious B.I.G - Runnin' (Dying To Live)

Chorus

You know, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight
Why am I trying to see, when there aint nothing insight
Why I am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die

:roll:

For me, "The Birdie Song" by the Tweets pretty much sums up my life.

..

By Henry Rollins from “Black Coffee Blues”

I know you
You were too short
You had bad skin
You couldn’t talk to them very well
Words didn’t seem to work
They lied when they came out of your mouth
You tried so hard to understand the others
You wanted to be part of what was happening
You saw them having fun
Seemed like such a mystery
Almost magic

You thought that there was something wrong with you
You would look in the mirror trying to find the flaw
You thought that you were ugly
And that everybody was looking at you
So you learned to be invisible
To look down
To avoid conversation

The hours, days, weekends
The weekend nights
Alone
Where were you,
The basement, the attic, your room?
Working some job?
Just to have something to do?
Just to have a place to put yourself?
Just to have a way to get away from them
Staying away from the ones
That made you feel so strange
And ill at ease inside yourself

Did you ever get invited to one of their parties
You sat & wondered if you would go or not
For hours you imagined what might transpire
If they would laugh at you
If you would know what to do
If you would have the right things on
If they would notice that you came from a different planet
Did you get all brave in your thoughts
Like you were going to be able to go in there
Deal with it & have a great time?
Did you think that you might be the “life of the party?”
That all these people were going to talk to you
And you would find out that you were wrong
And that you had a lot of friends
And you weren’t so strange after all?
Did you end up going?
Did they mess with you?
Did they single you out?
Did you find out that you got invited
Because they thought you were so weird?
I think I know you

You spent a lot of time full of hate
A hate that was as pure as sunshine
A hate that saw for miles
A hate that kept you up at night
A hate the filled your every waking moment
A hate that carried you for a long time
Yes, I think I know you

You couldn’t figure out what they saw in the way they lived
Home was not home
Your room was home
A corner was home
Anywhere they weren’t
That was home
I know you

You’re sensitive
You hide it
You fear getting stepped on one more time
It seems that when you show a part of yourself
That is the least bit vulnerable
Someone takes advantage of you
One of them steps on you
They mistake kindness for weakness
But you know the difference
You’ve been the brunt of their weakness for years
Strength is something you know a bit about
You had to be strong to keep yourself alive
You know yourself very well now
You don’t trust people
You know them too well
You try to find a special person
Someone you can be with
Someone you can touch
Someone you can talk to
Someone you won’t feel so strange around
You found that they don’t really exist
You feel closer to people on movie screens
Yea, I think I know you

You spend a lot of time daydreaming
People have made comment to that effect
Telling you that you’re self involved & self centered
But they don’t know, do they
About the long night shifts alone
About the years of keeping yourself company
All the nights you wrapped your arms around yourself
So you could imagine someone holding you
The hours of indecision
Self doubt
The intense depression
The blinding hate
The rage that made you stagger
The devastation of rejection
Well, maybe they do know
But if they do
They sure do a good job of hiding it

It astounds you how they can be so smooth
How they seem to pass thru life
As if life itself was some divine gift
It infuriates you to watch yourself
With your apparent skill in finding every way possible
To screw it up
For you life is a long trip
Terrifying & wonderful
Birds sing to you at night
The rain & the sun
The changing seasons are true friends
Solitude is a hard won ally
Faithful & patient
Yes I think I know you

Pink Floyd - Yet Another Movie

"The march of fate, the broken will
Someone is lying very still
He has laughed and he has cried
He has fought and he has died
He's just the same as all the rest
He's not the worst, he's not the best
And still this ceaseless murmuring
The babbling that I brook
The seas of faces, eyes upraised
The empty screen, the vacant look"

also

"You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is you do it to yourself, just you
You and no-one else"

From Radiohead - Just

for me it has to be drive by incubus

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear.
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the
fear take the wheel and steer.
It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal.
But lately I am beginning to find that
I should be the one behind the wheel.

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there with open arms and open eyes.

So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before and it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around.
But lately I'm beginning to find that
when I drive myself my light is found.

So whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there with open arms and open eyes. Yeh.

Would you kill the Queen to crush the hive?
Would you choose water over wine....
hold the wheel and drive?

Good Charlotte - Wounded

Lost and broken
Hopeless and lonely
Smiling on the outside
Hurt beneath my skin
My eyes are fading
My soul is bleeding
I’ll try to make it seem ok
But my faith is wearing thin

So help me heal these wounds
They’ve been open for way too long
Help me fill this soul
Even though this is not your fault
But I’m open
And I’m bleeding
All over your brand new rug
And I need someone to help me sew them up

I only wanted a magazine
I only wanted a movie screen
I only wanted the life I’d read about and dreamed
And now my mind is an open book
And now my heart is an open wound
And now my life is an open soul for all to see

So you come along
I’ll push you away
Then kick and scream for you to stay
'Cause I need someone to help me
Oh I need someone to help me

I need someone to help me fill them
I need someone to help me sew close them up

"creep" by radiohead

sorry to post again but, forgot "nothing to lose" by Billy Talent, lead singer can scream like I only wish I could :wink:

There's a couple of Dido songs that kinda describe how I feel with sa.. I find it helps me a lot to listen to songs I can identify with....


Honestly OK

I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again
I just want to feel deep in my own world
but I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore

On a different day if I was safe in my own skin
then I wouldn't feel so lost and so frightened
But this is today and I'm lost in my own skin
And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore

I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again

oops forgot to post the other song too!

Don't Slide

Even on a day like this when your crawling on the floor.
reaching for the phone to ring,
anyone who knows you anymore.
It's all right to make mistakes your only human
inside everbody's hiding somthing

Staring at the same four walls,
have you tried to help yourself
the ring around your eyes,
they don't hide that you need to get some rest
it's all right to make mistakes your only human
inside everybody's hiding somthing take time
to catch your breath and choose your moment

don't slide - 5x

Even at a time like this when the morning seems so far
think that pain belongs to you but it's happend to us all
it's allright to make mistakes your only human
inside everybody's hideing somthing
take time to catch your breth and choose your moment

lie here and rest your head
dream of something else instead
