Songs that seem to be about YOU!

Here's another song that, when I first heard it, made me think, "Wow...it is almost as if it were written about me!" because I am a vegetarian in Iowa, and, face it, there aren't a lot of Iowan vegetarians. In the song, the subject is described as "an intellectual and yet despite that fact remains quite sexual." Heh heh. I used to like to dance around to this song while working in the lab: the hidden life of vegetarian scientists.

While "New Age Girl" by Deadeye Dick is a little annoying (describing a woman in a sexual way...ho hum, old theme), I like the song because I don't think I'd ever heard one about a vegetarian before this one. Plus, I think it is amusing that the song captures so well our Iowan penchant for running around with pumpkins on our heaRAB.

I've never been to Seattle either but I've certainly never gotten the impression that it's a rundown shithole. The city where I live, on the other hand, now that's a rundown shithole. :laughing:
 
Been listening to that Monster Of Folk leak quite a bit, Magic Marker definitely has some hooks that can be applied to my life I think.

You know, the fascinating world of medical terminology. As some writer said once:

"Medicine is the art of accompanying people to the torab with Greek worRAB"
​

They broke up in 2006 but left us 11 good albums, and some of them are really notable, like the one named It's Beautiful, It's Love (that's a splendid record, really). It's one of those good, although little known worldwide, indie banRAB in this planet. Like Siddharta, for instance. ;) Fortunately we have the Internet.

Thank you! I don't know if it is some sense of aesthetics, a wish to please others, or a thing about "neurotic perfectionism". :)
 
Ok, this song isn't about me, but it's about this bitch I know. I can't find a link for a video, so I'll just post the lyrics

Carissa's Wierd - Sophisticated Fuck Princess Please Leave Me Alone

Still recall what made me like you
so yes they have said things about you
and yes I see where its true
thought you could get all you wanted
by just thinking of yourself
its not your pretty face that matters
and I think you need some help
so please just leave me the hell alone
cause now I know this isn't at all right
how much more times
will I have to tell you
you try to cry but its just for show you know I know you know
They said things that don't make sense
can just make you look like a liar
don't convince me that your right
about some fear I have of heartache
so I'll make you just one promise that I'll never regret this
take a long look inside cause right now
I'm leaving you
 
I know. Hypothyroidism was ruled out (by blood tests and all that). It seems to be a kind of "resistant depression". It's hard to say this, but my hopes rely on some future "launch" from "the Big Pharma". :)

Yes, more or less. They call it anhedonia. But at least Garfield enjoys his lasagna. Let's say music or cinema are my "lasagna", though I can't fully enjoy them now. And they're also a way of escaping from pessimism. Something like that of Sexy Sadie's song A Brand New World. Some years ago, I used to listen to a music radio program in which the host had a motto (something like the famous "good night and good luck") that I still remeraber: "Look for the beauty, it's the only protest that is really worth it in this disgusting world".
 
That song *does* do a nice job of describing how it can feel to be 18, though I don't think of you as having a baby's brain like in the line, "I got a
Baby
 
I had never heard of the term anhedonia before, Zaqarbal...sort of the opposite of the ability to experience hedonism. That Sexy Sadie song "A Brand New World" was very nice not only as music, but also as a demonstration of how you feel. I don't think I've heard one of their songs before.

Pleasure is an interesting emotion because I feel it can be so fleeting and often noticed most strongly in its absence. As soon as I'm aware I'm feeling joy about something, the feeling kind of diminishes. I usually feel the most pleasure when I am engrossed in something and forget myself...forget to assess whether I am feeling pleasure...so that might be similar to when you enjoy somewhat your music or cinema lasagna.

I also enjoy noticing beauty. I like the idea of looking for and noticing beauty as being a protest. I do a lot of protesting! :D My favorite protest of all is to make something that I feel is beautiful.

By the way, I appreciate how you explain yourself so clearly using links...and cat metaphors, of course. You craft your posts carefully. I notice that. Perhaps they are part of your protest. :)
 
It's not necessarily a song that portrays my personality, but I identify with this one very much:

The Patient

A groan of tedium escapes me, startling the fearful.
Is this a test?
It has to be. Otherwise I can't go on.
Draining patience. drain vitality.
this paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old.

But I'm still right here, giving blood and keeping faith. And I'm still right here.
But I'm still right here, giving blood and keeping faith. And I'm still right here.

I'm gonna wait it out

If there were no rewarRAB to reap,
no loving erabrace to see me through this tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.

I'm gonna wait it out

If there were no desire to heal
The damaged and broken met along this tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.

I still may. And I still may.
Be patient.

I must keep reminding myself of this...

If there were no rewarRAB to reap,
no loving erabrace to see me through this tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.
And I still may. And I still may. And I still may.

I'm gonna wait it out.
I'm gonna wait it out.
Gonna wait it out.
Gonna wait it out.

I'M TRYIN'
I'M TRYIN'
To drink away, the part of the day I cannot sleep away.
