Straightforward, but for those of us in the grey, what song do you know that you think represents your feelings, beliefs, personality, and life.
​


I'll start off. Anyone ever heard of...

Artist: Three Dog Knight

Song: One

Lyrics:
​

One is the loneliest number
that'll you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one


No is the saddest experience
You'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience
You'll ever know
Because one is the loneliest number
That you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number
worse than two

It's just no good anymore
since she went away
Now I spend my time
Just making rhymes
Of yesterday
​

One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
that you'll ever do

One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number
that you'll ever do

It's just no good anymore
since she went away

(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest
that you'll ever do
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest number
that you'll ever do



Before any1 makes any judgements, I do not want to DO the number one.
Get that out of your heads.

For me, this song represents how I tackle life. Alone, and in practically everything I do. From Everyday problems to my homework, I like to solve and do things myself. Don't get me wrong though, I still have friends, and I'm quite a social guy.

Very good idea, but just one? I have two, one for happiness, one for those not so happy moments. However, one is loud, one is relatively soft.

Song one: If Everyone Cared by Nickelback. Call me a hippie or pacifist, but the chorus represents what I continually feel:

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

Song Two: Determined by Mudvayne. Despite the coarse language, it pumps me up and makes me want to achieve amazing things. For those who don't know, the chorus goes as:
GO, SO #^(&!%$ DETERMINED, YEAH
YEAH GO, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT CONFIDENCE
GO, SO #^(&!%$ DETERMINED, YEAH
YEAH GO, SPIT OUT ALL REASON, YEAH
It then has the following lines throughout the song:
Clock's ticking on my 15 minutes of fame
Come on now 1 2 3...
...Set my sight can't die until I'm done
...Never wanted any more than what I deserve,
better bring it I'm takin' it all.
#^(* an inch 'cause I'm bringin' a mile,
...This fire, is growing, it's burning, deep inside of me.
Focused, driven, certain, the way it's got to be
Tell me that metal sung like this isn't good...

So basically, I want more love and confidence/motivation for the world. Imagine that...
 
David Bowie's Thursday's Child. It's sad but hopeful, and a bit odd at times, but that's part of its charm. Other than that, I won't go into a whole spiel as to why I chose this particular song, because it's difficult to pinpoint just what it is about it.

All of my life I've tried so hard
Doing my best with what I had
Nothing much happened all the same

Something about me stood apart
A whisper of hope that seemed to fail
Maybe I'm born right out of my time
Breaking my life in two

(Throw me tomorrow, oh oh)
Now that I really got a chance
(Throw me tomorrow, oh oh )
Everything's falling into place
(Throw me tomorrow, oh oh)
Seeing my past to let it go
(Throw me tomorrow, oh oh)
Only for you I don't regret

And I was Thursday's child
(Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, born I was)
(Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, born I was)

Sometimes I cry my heart to sleep
Shuffling days and lonesome nights
Sometimes my courage fell to my feet

Lucky old son is in my sky
Nothing prepared me for your smile
Lighting the darkness of my soul
Innocence in your arms
 
These songs all sound great guys. As for me, here is where you can listen to the song One by Three dog knight. In case any1 doesn't know, it's the song I choose for this topic.
 
Anvil of Crom.

It doesn't have words, but the sentiment is there.
 
Candlelight Fantasia by Symphony X. Musically and lyrically, it's just plain me. And says a lot about my writing and my beliefs about it (even if the dude in the song is composing music and I write novels...), and the occasional danger it poses to me via my obsessive nature...
Just one more night
One more score
Another question in my mind,
can't take no more

Kissing the tears form my face as
they fall
To the ground in silence
in twilight and faded time
Spirits cold, with no love
Bells ring a lonely chime
Candle fires
These lit dreams can't burn alone

Winds of change bring songs
upon my memory
An empty heart and soul
intoxicates me
This darkened page orchestrates
my final destiny
Not knowing what,
what tomorrow will bring

From within the mirror's eyes
I'm forced to run away and hide
I feel those mystic eyes subside
And leave my blind
Through passages in time
A prisoner locked beind the door
Lonely roses slowly wither and die

I can't escape this captive misery
Heart stone cold, under supremacy
Thrown into a raging sea of tyranny

Lifes vile walls have tangled me in threads
Eternally caught in my futures threads
Play the violent strings of my symphony

Transcend the absence of this fantasy
Just another vision
Washed away with the tide
No place for forgotten ones
I cannot deny
What lies beyond, beyond this fantasy

From within the mirror's eyes
I'm forced to run away and hide
I feel those mystic eyes subside
And leave my blind
Through passages in time
A prisoner locked beind the door
Lonely roses slowly wither and die
 
Haven't found one for me... I'll probably have to write a perfect one myself and then I'll have found my song.

Yeah who am I kiddin', I can't write no dang ol song!

But - I found the song to represent ME!!

Nom's Song

Or maybe it's this one - haven't decided.

Right now, the song that best represents me is a song I wrote myself. The title: THE PRISONER.
 
Interstellar by Groove Addicts

Pure symphony, no lyrics.

I think the song that represents me now is Can't Catch Tomorrow by Lostprophets, I feels really betrayed and my friend changed a lot and is lying all the time now and became completely fake.
One, two
One, two, three, four

I'm sure I've seen this look before
Done a thousand times and a million more
How many lies did he tell this time?
How many times did he cross the line?

It won't help me but I have to ask
Is there something real that's behind the mask?
Something true we don't know about?
A little faith in amongst the doubt

Maybe someday you will grow
And maybe someday you will know
Maybe someday you will end
These fears and go

A little piece of me grows old
I keep on walking down this road
I've seen a million people change
But I will stay the same

And I know you
(Know you, know you)
Know you always steal and borrow
And I know you
(Know you, know you)
You never catch, you're never gonna catch tomorrow

I'm sure I've played this scene before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I'm sure I used to hold your hand
Did I hurt you?

All this attitude with no history
All this anger when you're attacking me
Got a lot to learn and you need to know
That your time is up kid let it go

Maybe someday you will grow
And maybe someday you will know
Maybe someday you will end
These fears and go

A little piece of me grows old
I keep on walking down this road
I've seen a million people change
But I will stay the same

And I know you
(Know you, know you)
Know you always steal and borrow
And I know you
(Know you, know you)
You never catch, you're never gonna catch tomorrow

Never gonna catch tomorrow, ooh

A little piece of me grows old
I keep on walking down this road
I've seen a million people change
But I will stay the same

And I know you
(Know you, know you)
Know you always steal and borrow
And I know you
(Know you, know you)
You're never gonna catch tomorrow

Yeah the hair cuts hot
But this has gotta stop
And good shoes won't save you this time
Think you're gonna find
With everything combined
That time runs out on this lie

And I know you
(Know you, know you)
Know you always steal and borrow
And I know you
(Know you, know you)
You never catch, you're never gonna catch tomorrow
 
This was quite a tough one for me. . .it may not fully represent me, but it's a song I relate heavily to.
Staind - Epiphany
Your words to me just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles
'Cause my words get in my way
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away
'Cause I can't take anymore of this
I want to come apart
And dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention
Yet I always try to hide
'Cause I talk to you like children
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said
