Iris by the googoo dolls.

I don't want the world to see me, because 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've always really connected with the song but those lyrics in particular. I find it really hard to let myself be me but also really wish someone could see.

I got married two years ago and I am quite certain he's the only person in the world that truly gets me and makes me feel safe enough to let my guard down.

I think they wrote it specifically for the movie City of Angels.

The song named "Never gonna give you up". I appear everywhere, I get annoying, and We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I (do I)
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (say it)
Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on)
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (to say it)
Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on)
We know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

"Fine on the outside" by Priscilla Ahn.... I swear this song is about me and my place in this world.... It's uncanny how much it reflects my life.... Can't hear it without crying, but I have to hear it daily, it grounds me....

I’m fine, I’m totally fine.
I will stand on the side as you shine.
I’m not fine, I’m not fine.

I can’t move the mountains,
I can’t make flowers bloom.
I can’t take another night up in my room,
Waiting on a miracle.

I can’t heal what’s broken,
Can’t control the morning rain or a hurricane.
Can’t keep down the unspoken, invisible pain.
Always waiting on a miracle, a miracle.

Always walking alone.
Always wanting for more.
Like I’m still at that door longing to shine like all of you shine.

All I need is a change.
All I need is a chance.

I would move the mountains,
Make new trees and flowers grow.
Someone please just let me know, where do I go?
I am waiting on a miracle, a miracle.

I would heal what’s broken,
Show this family something new,
Who I am inside, so what can I do?
I’m sick of waiting on a miracle.

Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago,
When you gave us a miracle!
Or, am I too late for a miracle?

Probably not what your asking but Slowtown by Twenty One Pilots, I feel like life is moving way too fast, god- 2020 was already 3 years ago- it’s also quite insane to me how I was 11 when COVID-19 came around and now, I’m f*****g 15. it’s already been a year since we got my moms dog. (she’s an awesome doggo) and it’s been 7 years since I got my dachshund, before I bloody know it I’m gonna be f*****g 20 years old which is absolutely insane. Apologies for my rant… it’s just overwhelming at times,

Wow, this was a really tough task but it was also fun!

I first made a list of songs that are somehow "emotionally charged" for me, and then I listed the most important requirements for a song to be truly "mine."
-must be on the "goth spectrum“, because that‘s what I am
-must be good to dance to, because I’m constantly restless and dancing is the only means for me to really calm down
-must be about desperation and fighting, because that‘s what my life has always been about
-must be a song I really, really like (obviously)

And *drumroll* the song that meets all of these requirements is….

„Battles“ by Minuit Machine

(It‘s a bit on the optimistic side, though, but that fits, too, because that‘s how I appear to be on the outside.)

"sweating bullets" by Megadeth. It's about how everybody has a darker side, and how some people "sweat bullets" all the time. And I really feel like I do that a lot.

Wake Me Up by Avicii.
I think it describes the journey of my (young) life so far. There have been many points in my life where I've wanted to fast-forward, so to speak to the times when the hardships I've gone through matured me. There have been times when I just wanted to step out of life, in a way. But I went through those experiences, I still am, but I can see how those experiences made me, and formed me into what I hope is a better person. Life has been described as a journey, or a race, and I think those descriptions are true, but for me personally, life is a revelation, a way of seeing our past experiences in a clearer light from being in the future; and I'm thankful for that perspective.

Wasn't going to post because I don't really have a song that reflects me 100% (not even self written, lol). But here's one I have on repeat at the moment. Rediscovered a band called Rapture, probably no one knows them anyway, but one of their songs is just perfect and nails my emotions perfectly...

Rapture - This is where I am

True colours by Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake from the movie Trolls. Don’t be afraid to let them show your true colours are beautiful like a rainbow. I have always been searching for my true colours and my true authentic to god self, when I met my boyfriend, he was the one who helped me find my true colours and my true identity.

I am a Rock by Simon & Garfunkel

A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock I am an island
I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pains
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock I am an island
Don't talk of love
Well I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock I am an island
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock I am an island
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

Being a weird kid growing up in the 80's and 90's and not having friends, creating a world around me to shield me from family trauma and severe undiagnosed mental illness. I was able to feel that this song didn't apply for about a decade of my life but after losing 2 life partners and control over my life, it's back to being my theme song.

A song that really hits home for me is Lift Me Up by Twiztid. Sample:
"Our life is unclear shed a heavenly tear
For father we still toughen it out down here
In the midst of mankind
Where moneys so tight they cuttin throats for pennies nickels and dimes
Hard to walk a straight line
When the road curves like a snake
And most leaders are cowards lies and fakes
Who shout out follow in fear I pose a question
Your response, stay strong son and pick a direction
I'm not sure if I possess the confidence to carry on
I'm only here for today and tomorrow we'll be gone
It's an example of scenarios
Use your time to leave a mark stronger than a miracle felt in a soul
To a believer, you don't have to say it twice
To a skeptic, I'm sure no proof will ever suffice
To a sinner, it was over before it ever began
To the lost and lonely, sometimes they only need a friend".

nobody else by em beihold
"it's no secret that i get in my head and i think that i'm not enough
i believe it like a fact in a book that i can't stop pickin' up
and i'm diving off the deep end but i'm tryin
to go slow and dip my feet in but i'm dying
and i wish that i could help it but i get too satisfied
with the idea of this perfect life where i don't cry
and i mean it cause i try and i try and i try
but when i take a better look at myself
i should be happy that i'm nobody else"

or one of the shorts that she's posted
"trespassin' in my own skin, wearin' thin, never really felt like a fit
i saw
yours hanging on the clothesline
wish it was mine
even just for a bit
i would
drive your skeleton
take it out for a spin
joyride from inside your life
but i probably wouldn't pull it off
call the cops
and then turn myself in"

sooo good

Pick yourself up.

...Nothing's impossible I have found,
For when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off,
Start all over again.
Don't lose your confidence if you slip,
Be grateful for a pleasant trip,
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again....

One that I always find that I scream at the top of my lungs is Growing Up by Nathan Wagner.

Would you hold on love
I’m just trying to catch up
Cause these leaves keep on falling
Then winter is stormin’
These seasons are shifting
Like dusk to morning
Wake me up
Make this slumber stop
It’s all slipping away
These hours to days
I’ll admit it I’m afraid
Of growing up

It basically tells a story of how the narrator is finding the little things that show that they are growing up. A grey hair, another wrinkle, uncertainty that they are strong enough.
I've reached adulthood recently and I'm afraid of growing up. I want to be five again and my worst worry be where is my purple crayon. I don't know how to describe it, but this song does.

Wire to Wire - Razorlight

What is love but a strangest of feelings?
A sin you swallow for the rest of your life?
You've been looking for someone to believe in
To love you until your eyes run dry

She lives by disillusion glow
We go where the wild blood flows
On our bodies we share the same scar
Love me, wherever you are

How do you love with a fate full of rust?
How do you turn what the savage tame?
You've been looking for someone you can trust
To love you, again and again

How do you love in a house without feelings?
How do you turn what the savage tame?
I've been looking for someone to believe in
Love me, again and again

She lives by disillusion's glow
We go where the wild blood flows
On our bodies we share the same scar

How do you love on a night without feelings?
She says, love, I hear sound, I see fury
She says, love's not a hostile condition
Love me, wherever you are

Love me, wherever you are
Love me, wherever you are
Wherever you are

Both myself and my partner (also my oldest friend), grew up in cold, unloving, abusive households. Our bodies and minds shared the same scar. While I was let down by everyone and everything and "living by disillusion glow" they, brought me to life and taught me to trust and to feel positive emotions .. We gave each other something to believe in and, finally ... I've lost the one person I'd trust with my life, to covid-related early onset dementia so, while they're here physically their mind is elsewhere... Hence, "love me, wherever you are..."
