Song lyrics that make you go “wow…”

#1

“Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
Like your body's in the room but you're not really there
Like you have empathy inside but you don't really care
Like you're fresh outta love but it's been in the air
Am I past repair“
Numb Little Bug by Em Beihold

This... This is so depressing. It sounds a bit like "I really want to love this world" by Hua Chenyu. He's a singer who had depression and then wrote this song.

    "Both Sides Now" by Joni Mitchel
    "Oh, but now old friends they're acting strange
    And they shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed
    Well something's lost, but something's gained
    In living every day
    I've looked at life from both sides now
    From win and lose and still somehow
    It's life's illusions I recall
    I really don't know life at all"

    "homeward bound" by Simon & Garfunkel
    "Tonight I'll sing my songs again
    I'll play the game and pretend
    But all my words come back to me
    In shades of mediocrity
    Like emptiness in harmony
    I need someone to comfort me"

    Help, I'm still at the restaurant
    Still sitting in a corner I haunt
    Cross-legged in the dim light
    They say, "What a sad sight"
    I, I stayed there
    Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
    I'm sure that you got a wife out there
    Kids and Christmas, but I'm unaware
    'Cause I'm right where
    I cause no harm, mind my business
    If our love died young, I can't bear witness
    And it's been so long
    But if you ever think you got it wrong
    I'm right where you left me
    You left me no, oh, you left me no
    You left me no choice but to stay here forever
    You left me
    You left me no, oh, you left me no
    You left me no choice but to stay here forever

    “Right Where You Left Me” - Taylor Swift

    "Dance Again" by Kite

    "for too long I have been underground
    and for too long I've had my curtains down
    and I'm done with pity and doubt
    and now it's time for me to get out

    ...."

    "I know you're scared of the unknown
    You don't wanna be alone
    I know I always come and go
    But it's out of my control"
    —Sunflower by Post Malone

    "Where you go through life
    So sure of where you're headin'
    And you wind up lost
    And it's the best thing that could have happened
    'Cause sometimes when you lose your way
    It's really just as well
    Because you find yourself
    Yeah, that's when you find yourself"
    —Find yourself (brings Cars flashback)

    "Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    It's not warm when she's away
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    And she's always gone too long
    Anytime she's goes away"
    —Ain't no sunshine by Bill Withers

    You will understand the meaning of your life
    If you are brave enough to stand up
    Don’t care about those who will laugh at you
    They aren’t aware of what life is!

    Amazing by Aerosmith

    When I lost my grip
    And I hit the floor
    Yeah, I thought I could leave, but couldn't get out the door
    I was so sick and tired
    Of livin' a lie
    I was wishin' that I would die

    It's amazing
    With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light
    It's amazing
    When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
    It's amazing
    And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

    That one last shot's permanent vacation
    And how high can you fly with broken wings?
    Life's a journey, not a destination
    And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings

    (Translated)

    I'm afraid that you will go far away and leave me,
    And even more afraid you will stay here forever.

    - Big Fish (Dà yú, 大鱼) by Zhou Shen

    The song is from a movie called Big Fish and Begonia, and the lyrics refer to the feelings of a parent when their child grows up.
    On one hand, they want them to stay by their side (the first line) and on the other hand they want their children to find their own path, to "spread their wings and fly" (another lyric in the song)

    E equals MC squared
    I've got a blimp inside my head
    Flew over the cuckoo's nest
    The lights are on but there's no one here
    Puffing with the dragons
    I'm livin' for the thrill, formula
    Screws loose on a Monday
    Screws loose, where's the propane?
    Screws loose, tell 'em
    Screws loose, tell 'em
    Screws loose, tell 'em
    I'm livin' for the thrill, formula, tell 'em
    Puffing with the dragons
    Screws loose, tell 'em
    I'm livin' for the thrill, formula (screws loose)
    Screws loose
