What Song Reflects You?

Heh, I listen to a rather odd and sometimes naive jumble of songs, that varies every couple of months... but I'd probably say these ones always sum me up:

- Still Alive from Mirror's Edge.

Despite being from a video game, each verse sums up many things about how and what I think...

"So silent
No violence
But inside my head
So loud and clear
You're screaming
You're screaming
Coverd up with a smile
I've learned to fear.
Just sunshine
And blue sky
Is this all we get
For living here?
...
I've learnt to lose
I've learnt to win
I turn my face against the wind.
I will move fast
I will move slow
I'll take me where I have to go."


- Imaginary and Everybody's Fool by Evanescence sum me up as well- again they deal with reality vs lies vs the imaginary:

"Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos - your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape"


and

"...Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame?..."

Probably "One Step Closer" by Linkin Park. It makes me feel powerful and vengeful because of supressed rage caused by childhood bullying.

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break!

Thing is I don't normally think about this kind of thing so it's difficult for me. I listen to music purely for what sounds good to me, so I listen to a lot of music that does not fit or suit me well personality-wise.

There was one song I listened to that really resonated with me, cheesy as it may sound when you read the lyrics.

It was Shine It All Around by Robert Plant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSt3x5HqiAA

The lyrics (below) are absurdly happy and optimistic. While I wouldn't say that's me exactly, those sort of are my ideals. I don't believe in approaching things with pessimism and I think if you literally spread good around things will be better, just as long as you choose to do so. I also feel the instrumentals work along with the lyrics to overall fit my personality (darker sounds, etc. I'm not always nice, as I can be kind of an *** and sort of constantly irritated :xd: ). So there's my explanation. XP

Lyrics (roughly):

This is the land where I live
Paint it all over golden
Take a little sunshine spread it all around
This is the love that I give
These are the arms for the holding
Turn on your love light shine it all around

Shine it all around, shine it all around
These are the times of my life
Bright and strong and golden
This is the way that I choose when the deal goes down
This is the world that I love

Painted all over troubled
Take a little sunshine shine it all around
End a little sign now, spread it all around now
Hine it all around now, when the deal goes down now
Shine it all around, Shine it all around

This is the heart of the man
This is the heart of the matter
Break a little bread now spread it all around
E a little bread now, all around
Shine it all around, shine it all around

I'm not sure if there is a song that reflects me right now, but parts of Jewel's Good-Bye Alice in Wonderland resonate with me, particularly this section of the bridge:

Growing up is not an absence of dreaming
It's being able to understand the difference between the ones you can hold
And the ones that you've been sold
And dreaming is a good thing cause it brings new things to life
But pretending is an ending that perpetuates a lie
Forgetting what you are
Seeing for what you've been told


I like the way it effectively says that being realistic doesn't mean giving up your dreams. The song actually has several layers, but that's the part that I connect with.

I have a few songs that have some lyrics that pertain to me. One of them is the song "Just the Way I Am" by Skye Sweetnam.

I'm strange and I like it
That's just the way I am
I can't change; I can't hide it
That's just the way I am
Might as well get over it
But don't try to understand
I'm strange and I like it
That's just the way I am
~~
They can't rain on my parade
I'm sunshine on a cloudy day
Make lemons into lemonade
I'm just having fun


Another one is "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield:

I am Unwritten
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page
Before you open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate
The words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release you inhabitions
Feel the rain on you skin

No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten


And lastly "Awake and Alive" by Skillet:

I'm at war with world cause I...
Ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind...
No matter what I can't be bought or sold

This was all I could think of. I couldn't really think of something else besides the fact that I'm always ready to challenge someone. I'm also really determined, competitive, and self-centered. If you say crap to me I'll immediately take it as an attack. Also the beginning...I have a foul mouth but it gets worse when I'm angry.

Bring It! (Snakes On A Plane)-Cobra Starship



[Samuel L. Jackson:]
"That's it!
I have had it with these ************* snakes
on this ************ plane!"

Times are strange

We got a free upgrade for
snakes on a plane.
**** 'em, I don't care.
Bought the cheap champagne,
we're going down in flames, hey.

Oh, I'm ready for it

Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.

So kiss me goodbye.

Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive.
So kiss me goodbye.
I can see the venom in their eyes.
Goodbye.

It's time to fly,

to make the skies align
with the serpentine
lounging in their suits and ties.
Watch the ****** parade
for the price of fame, hey.

Oh, I'm ready for it

Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.

So kiss me goodbye.

Honey I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye.
I can see the venom in their eyes
So kiss me goodbye.
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye.
I can see the venom in their eyes
Goodbye.

Ladies and gentlemen

These snakes are slitherin'
with dollar signs in they eyes
with tongues so reptilian
This industry's venomous
with cold-blooded sentiment
No need for nervousness
It's just a little turbulence.

So kiss me goodbye.

Honey I'm make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye.
I can see the venom in their eyes

So kiss me goodbye.

Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye.
I can see the venom in their eyes
Goodbye.

Oh, I'm ready for it

Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.

We seem to be losing altitude

at an alarming pace
From Midtown to downtown
Snakes on your block
I suggest you grab your ankles
and kiss your *** goodbye.

It's been awhile, so I'll change the song "I am.....All of me" into....Servant of Evil

The reason behind this is the song itself. It's about a servant, who is actually the brother of the queen who reigns the kingdom. Her sister, is full of pride, corrupt, and does everything frivolously without concern. Her Brother helped her with her wishes, and granted them, sacrificing his needs for her. The people could not stand her, so they rose against her, to get revenge. Her brother reveals his identity, and then cross-dresses to protect her, by taking the death toll. The Selfish Queen, disguised as her brother, cried while he was executed, and has seen what she had done. What's so sweet about the song is, that his wish was to be her brother in the next life. The song is related to Daughter of Evil.

It reflects me, because somewhat, I am like that servant, always helping people who had lost SO much. I want them to be happy, even if it costs me what I want. Take time to listen to it. It's sweet, yet sad.
Here are the lyrics....in English.
You're a princess, I'm a servant
Destiny separated pitiful twins
If it's for the sake of protecting you
I'll become evil for you

We had high expectations when we were born
We were blessed by the ringing of the church bells
But because of selfish adult reasons
Our future was split in two

Even if all the world
Became your enemy
I will protect you so
Just be there smiling

You're a princess, I'm a servant
Destiny separated pitiful twins
If it's for the sake of protecting you
I'll become evil for you

When I went to a neighbouring country
In town I caught sight Green Haired Girl
Hearing her kind voice and seeing her smiling face
I fell in love at first sight

But if the princess wishes for that girl
To be removed....
I will answer that request

..Why? My tears won't stop?

You're a princess, I'm a servant
Destiny separated madly driven twins
"Today's snack is brioche"
You laugh innocently as I served you

Before long this country will probably end
By the hands of angered citizens
Even if we so deserved this
I will definately oppose them

"Here, change into my clothes"
"Please do this and escape immediately"
"It's alright we are twins"
"Surely no one will realize"

I'm a princess, you're a fugitive
Destiny separated sad twins
If they say that you are evil
Then I have the same evil blood flowing through me

Once upon a time there was
A treacherous kingdom
And reigning over that place
Was my very cute sibling

Even if all the world
Became your enemy
I will protect you so
You just be somewhere smiling

You're a princess, I'm a servant
Destiny separated pitiful twins
If it's for the sake of protecting you
I'll become evil for you

If we could be reborn...
I want to be with you again....
