Guest Charlotte Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 So, I was thinking about songs that reminded me of OCD and also songs that actually mention it... "Unwell" by Matchbox 20 is a good one, and "How Did It Come To This" by Take That says : Just the other day somebody Said to me, hey maybe youre also slightly OCD, a little out of reach my friend. I said, yes thats partly true, But jokes aside, please stay with me, Its just my way of compartmentalising All the things I see Ultraviolet Sound - O.C.D. (Obsessive Compulsive Dancing) is something that I found when googling it... Link to comment
Guest Jennikat Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 'Buttons' by Sia is fairly obviously about OCD. 'You got me pushing imaginary buttons ... You got me counting imaginary school children ... Yes I see open wounds in everyone I've dated ... You got me turning all the lights on and off ... I am no good for you I'm seeing ghosts in everything I do' Good song Link to comment
Guest Duckfoot Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 As much as i hate katy perry (and believe me, i REALLY hate her) that song 'hot and cold' always makes me think of ocd.. can't really think of any others at the moment.. will try and think of some good ones :lol: Link to comment
Guest legend Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 robbie williams ....feel, :a1_cheesygrin: Come on hold my hand, I wanna contact the living. Not sure I understand, This role I�ve been given. I sit and talk to god And he just laughs at my plans, My head speaks a language, I don�t understand. (chorus) I just wanna feel real love, Feel the home that I live in. �cause I got too much life, Running through my veins, going to waste. I don�t wanna die, But I ain�t keen on living either. Before I fall in love, I�m preparing to leave her. I scare myself to death, That�s why I keep on running. Before I�ve arrived, I can see myself coming. (chorus) I just wanna feel real love, Feel the home that I live in. �cause I got too much life, Running through my veins, going to waste. And I need to feel, real love And a life ever after. I cannot get enough. (instrumental) (chorus) I just wanna feel real love, Feel the home that I live in, I got too much love, Running through my veins, going to waste. I just wanna feel real love, In a life ever after There�s a hole in my soul, You can see it in my face, it�s a real big place. (instrumental) Come and hold my hand, I wanna contact the living, Not sure I understand, This role I�ve been given Not sure I understand. Not sure I understand. Not sure I understand. Not sure I understand Link to comment
Guest Charlotte Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 That's a good one Legend - I'd never thought about it like that! For me, the Killers "Why Do I Keep Counting"...! Link to comment
Guest Duckfoot Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 This song "i'm the one" by static x makes me think about ocd and the determination to overcome it, it's a really good song :a1_cheesygrin: Li-ving in the mo-ment Forgot-ten and re-pea-ted No I, can not, be the one No I, can not, be bea-ten I'm the (Yeah) I'm the (Yeah) I'm the (Yeah) I'm the one I don't want you I don't need you With the lies I See right through you I was crawling Always falling You don't know what I have lived through No I, am, not-a-rich-man No I, am, not-a-bitch I know you, made one mistake This is my, life You cannot take it I'm the (Yeah) I'm the (Yeah) I'm the (Yeah) I'm the one I don't want you I don't need you With the lies I See right through you I was crawling Always falling You don't know what I have lived through Auto-matic termi-nation Self-des-tructive revolution Auto-matic termi-nation Automatic termination Self destructive revolution Automatic termination Self destructive revolution Automatic termination Self-destructive revolution (self destructive) Break it down To the ground Carve a J Jealousy I'm the (Yeah) I'm the (Yeah) I'm the (Yeah) I'm the one I don't want you I don't need you With the lies I see right through you I was crawling Always falling You don't know what I have lived through Link to comment
Cub Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I definitely agree on 'Unwell' by Matchbox 20, although sometimes it makes me want to cry. It's a very sad song, although very powerful. I think 'One-X' by Three Days Grace is pretty good; it reflects the way I used to feel: Do you think about Everything you've been through You never thought you'd be so depressed Are you wondering Is it life or death Do you think that there's no one like you We are We are We are We are the ones We get knocked down We get back up and stand above the crowd We are one We are the ones We get knocked down We get back up and stand above the crowd We are one The life I think about Is so much better than this I never thought I'd be stuck in this mess I'm sick of wondering Is it life or death I need to figure out who's behind you We are We are We are We are the ones We get knocked down We get back up and stand above the crowd We are one We are the ones We get knocked down We get back up and stand above the crowd We are one The life I think about Is so much better than this I never thought I'd be stuck in this mess I'm sick of wondering Is it life or death? We are the ones We get knocked down We get back up and stand above the crowd We are one We are the ones We get knocked down We get back up and stand above the crowd We are one We stand above the crowd We stand above the crowd We stand above the crowd (Crowd) (We stand) We stand above the crowd We stand above the crowd (We Stand) We stand above the crowd (We are the ones) We stand above the crowd (We get knocked down get back up) We stand above the crowd (We are the ones) We stand above the crowd (We get knocked down get back up) We stand above the crowd We stand above the crowd We stand above the crowd We stand above the crowd Link to comment

Guest JimbobRedsFan Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Drive you Home by Garbage is my OCD song - hits very close to home lol Its funny how Even now You still support me after all of the things that Ive done Youre so good to me Waiting patiently And isnt it sad that you still have to ask if I care? I never said I was perfect But I can take you away Walk on shells tonight Cant do right tonight And you cant say a word Cause I leap down your throat So uptight am i I never said I was perfect But I can drive you home I got down on myself Working too hard Driving myself to death Trying to beat out the faults in my head What a mess Ive made Sure we all make mistakes But they see me so large that they think Im immune to the pain Im praying for a miracle But I wont hold my breath I never said I was perfect But can you drive me home Link to comment
Guest Gemini Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 When you feel all alone And a loyal friend is hard to find You're caught in a one way street With the monsters in your head When hopes and dreams are far away and You feel like you can't face the day Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone. Because there has always been heartache and pain and when it's over you'll breathe again You'll breathe again. Crash and Burn by Savage Garden. Link to comment
Starlight Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 oooo i love crash and burn by savage garden i only discovered it a couple of weaks ago though i also like two beds and a coffee machine by savage garden because the chorus just gives me hope and keeps me moving through blips: Another ditch in the road You keep moving Another stop sign You keep moving on And the years go by so fast Wonder how I ever made it through Link to comment
Guest acliffe Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I know its a strange choice but i find that Linkin Park's "Crawling" reminds me of OCD. [Chorus:] Crawling in my skin These wounds they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing what is real There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface Consuming/confusing This lack of self-control I fear is never ending Controlling/I can't seem [bridge:] To find myself again My walls are closing in (without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take) I've felt this way before So insecure [Chorus] Discomfort,endlessly has pulled itself upon me Distracting/reacting Against my will I stand beside my own reflection It's haunting how I can't seem...

Northern Star Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) I love Norah Jones' songs and there's one that always makes me think of OCD..... Cold Cold Heart ".....and so I'm paying now for things I didn't do....." Edited May 4, 2009 by Northern Star Link to comment
Guest Georgia Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 "Cosy Prisons" by A-ha reminds me of OCD, quite a lot really. In fact, a couple of their songs do! Take a moment if you dare Catch yourself a breath of air There's another life out there And you should try it Dead ends hide on every street Look before you place your feet Cracks and fissures keep the beat And you're inside it Every thought you never dared to think Every mood you always knew would sink Every line you spoke out loud in a jest All the time you took to be your best Soon forgotten The sun must never touch your skin It could expose the dark within You're paranoid about the paranoia And panic hits without a sign You worry about it all the time Every perfect moment is a hidden warning Cuz everything makes your pretty head spin And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in With everything this way it's better to forget Than end up in a place with something to regret Your transatlantic shopping spree Your health forever guarantees Organic bio-life's a breeze in cosy prisons But hiding out in a salad bar Isn't gonna get you far and bottled wine is vinegar tomorrow Everything around here makes your pretty head spin Its piling up high and you're back where you begin Moments you have tried so hard to forget Are promising to've been the best ones yet Everytime you shut your eyes it appears Everytime you trace your steps back here None of your convictions have the same old ring No doubt you found a place for everything In cosy prisons So if you're careful You won't get hurt But if your careful all the time Then what's it worth?

Guest Serpent7 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Oh, Alan beat me to it. Yes, Crawling is very similar- apparently it's actually about a guy addicted to Crystal Meth (I think) but the whole thing definately made me think twice when I first heard it properly. :} Link to comment
lucy :) Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I've recently started listening to All American Rejects, and some of their songs fit, well I realte to them. "Move Along": When all you got to keep is strong, Move along, move along like I know you do. And even when your hope is gone, Move along, move along just to make it through. Move along. "Dance Inside": you don't have to move, you don't have to speak lips for biting. you're staring me down, a glance makes me weak eyes for striking now im twisting up when i'm twisted with you brush so lightly and time trickles down, and i'm breathing for two squeeze so tightly. i'll be fine, you'll be fine. this moment seems so long don't waste now, precious time we'll dance inside the song [Chorus] what makes the one to shake you down? each touch belongs to each new sound say now you want to shake me too move down to me, slip into you she sinks in her mind as she sheds through her skin touch like taste like fire hands to know what i no longer defend hands to fuel desire i'll be fine, you'll be fine this moment seems so long don't waste now, precious time we'll dance inside the song And, for no particular reason, Nothing Compares To You by Sinead O'Connor hits me everytime. No links to OCD what-so-ever, it just gets me :/ xxxx Link to comment

Guest resisting slingshot Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) I like the first couple of verses of Bullet with Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins. 'The world is a vampire, sent to drain Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames And what do I get for my pain? Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game Even though I know - I suppose Ill show All my cool and cold-like old job Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage, Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage' Its not an OCD song per sé, but a lot of those words (not necessarily intended meanings) have applied to me at some point. Then there's the chorus of The Unforgiven by Metallica 'What I've felt, What I've known, Never shined through in what I've shown, Never free, never me, So I dub thee unforgiven' Same type of thing really.

Guest Bebz Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I've been listening to 'Spellbound' by Lacuna Coil again and again and think the lyrics kind of sum up, for me at least, the battle against OCD. Particularly the chorus. So much that I put a bot of it in my signature :original: See what you think... ------------------------------------------------- Burning here, in my room. Feeling bad, the walls are moving closer. Silence in, the dark days near. Leads me to the ending of another day. I'm haunted. Tell me who you are. I am spellbound. You cannot have this control on me. Everywhere I go I am spellbound. I will break the spell you put on me. Velvet drapes, glowing candles. Silent whispers of words inside of my head. The night time calls, it waits for me. Leads me to the ending of another day. I'm haunted. Tell me who you are. I am spellbound. You cannot have this control on me. Everywhere I go I am spellbound. I will break the spell you put on me. Tell me who you are. I am spellbound. You cannot have this control on me. Everywhere I go I am spellbound. I will break the spell you put on me. Everywhere I go. I am spellbound. Everywhere I go.

bdc1982 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Limp Bizkit 'take a look around' - Fred Durst suffers from a secretive form of OCD apparently. does anybody really know the secret or the combination for this life and where they keep it its kinda sad when u dont know the meanin but everything happens for a reason (everything happens for a reason) i dont even know what i should say cause im an idiot a loser, microphone abuser i analyze every second i exist beatin on my mind every second with my fists and everybody wanna run (wanna run) everybody wanna hide from the gun (hide from the gun) you can take a ride through this life if you want but you cant take the edge off the knife (no sir) and now you want your money back (money back) but your denied cause your brains fried from the sack and there aint nothin i can do cause life is a lesson you learn it when your through Link to comment

Guest Serpent7 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 LongWayDown, the only Lacuna Coil song I know is the one on Guitar Hero-- Though I like a bit of Metal, are they any good? :} And now I'm thinking of it, there's a lot that at least has a little to do with OCD! Like Private Universe by Crowded House. He's talking about escaping to a 'private universe' where things don't matter: "I will run for shelter Endless summer lift the curse It feels like nothing matters In our private universe I have all I want is that simple enough Theres a whole lot more Im thinking of" Link to comment
Guest Ryobi Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I've been cheated by you since I don't know when So I made up my mind, it must come to an end Look at me now, will I ever learn I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control There's a fire within my soul Just one look and I can hear a bell ring One more look and I forget everything Mamma mia, here I go again My my, how can I resist you Mamma mia, does it show again My my, just how much I've missed you I've been angry and sad about things that you do I can't count all the times that I've told you, we're through And when you go, when you slam the door I think you know that you won't be away too long You know that I'm not that strong Just one look and I can hear a bell ring One more look and I forget everything Mamma mia, here I go again My my, how can I resist you Mamma mia, does it show again My my, just how much I've missed you --------------------------------------------------- Kind of sad that the first thing I think of is ABBA but bear with me, replace the guy she's addressing with 'OCD' and suddenly parts of the song change all meaning Link to comment
