OCD Songs...

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...

'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 :)

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

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 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

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

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

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

oooo i love crash and burn by savage garden i only discovered it a couple of weaks ago though :p

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

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...

"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?

Oh, Alan beat me to it. :p

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. :}

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 :/

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.

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.

I am spellbound.

Everywhere I go.

I am spellbound.

I will break the spell you put on me.

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

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"

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 :p
