OCD Songs...

Both of the above songs are fantastic and really speak to me. It is true, it isn't just thoughts, but it is the feelings and emotions that come with them that freak us out! If only I knew that in 2009. :lookaround:

Okay, so this song isn't really about OCD, but I relate to it. It's by the band Amber Pacific and it's called If I Fall.

"This is for the ones who believe their lives won't change

Hoping that someday things will mend and be the same

And this is for the ones who have lost it all

When all that's left to gain

Is a simple reminder that the things that we're blind to slip away

How can I say

Say I'll be okay

And if I fall through these days that go by without cause

Just a painful mistake has left me here on my own

And if I fall through these nights I can't seem to go on

Just a sign that you're with me gives me the strength to hold on

Now that the line's been broken

I'm too afraid to just look back

The pages have left an empty space

You were all I had

Why does it have to be this way

These things they'll never change

Still I'm left with knowing, content and happy, this is all I need"

And I also relate to "We are broken" by Paramore

"I am outside

And I've been waiting for the sun

With my wide eyes

I've seen worlds that don't belong

My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize

Tell me why we live like this

Keep me safe inside

Your arms like towers

Tower over me

Yeah

Cause we are broken

What must we do to restore

Our innocence

And oh, the promise we adored

Give us life again

cause we just wanna be whole

Lock the doors

Cause I like to capture this voice

it came to me tonight

So everyone will have a choice

And under red lights

I'll show myself it wasn't forged

We're at war

We live like this"

And the song Let The Flames Begin also by Paramore gives me strength to fight the OCD.

It's been so long since i've posted on this thread!

A song that always reminds me of ocd and the difficulty of overcoming it, is Fix You - Coldplay. It makes me cry everytime. It makes me think more of being 'fixed' or cured of ocd, rather than the obsessions.

Jesus - Brand New. Particularly poingnant for me considering im rather God-fearing

Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face

The kind you'd find on someone that could save

If they don't put me away

It’ll be a miracle

Do you believe you're missing out?

That everything good is happening somewhere else

But with nobody in your bed

The night is hard to get through

And I will die all alone

And when I arrive I won’t know anyone

Well, Jesus Christ, I’m alone again

So what did you do those three days you were dead?

Because this problem's gonna last

More than the weekend

Well, Jesus Christ I’m not scared to die

I’m a little bit scared of what comes after

Do I get the gold chariot

Do I float through the ceiling

Do I divide and fall apart

Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark

This ship went down in sight of land

And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?

I know you'll come in the night like a thief

But I’ve had some time alone to hone my lying technique

I know you think that I’m someone you can trust

But I’m scared I’ll get scared and I swear I’ll try to nail you back up

(everyone now)

So do you think that we could work out a psalm

So I’ll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try

I know you'll come for the people like me

But we all got wood and nails,

And talk dirt at hating factories

But, we all got wood and nails

And talk dirt at hating factories

Yeah, we all got wood and nails

And we sleep inside of this machine

just a good song with strong meaning for me :/

Biffy Clyro ...

Machines ...

"I look around the grave for an escape route of old routines

There doesn’t seem to be any other way

Cause I’ve started falling apart I’m not savouring life

I’ve forgotten how good it could be to feel alive"

Thats it for me ...

This Circle - Paramore

For me this song is soooo about ocd. Don't think it is actually about it though.

Take this time to realize

That you always shut your eyes

In the midst of trial

And everything is always right

(and I think that it's time)

this battle must be won

(but you pushed it aside)

Pushed it aside

Pretend that it's gone

This circle never ends

And it's time you

Just face it, don't pretend

That it's over

This circle never ends

And it's time you

Just face it, don't pretend

That it's over

Take this time to realize

That you always force a smile

In the midst of trial

And everything is always right

(and I think that it's time)

This battle must be won

(but you pushed it aside)

Pushed it aside

Pretend that it's gone

John Mayer - Say

such a perfect song.

oh, and i saw him live last night :D i reccommend him to anyone and everyone :D

xxxxx

Ooh my father is probably watching him live right now.

I'm sure he'll come back with a CD for me to listen to or something.

And wow, that Marina & The Diamond's song is really fitting.

This to me is THEE greatest tune ever. Especially the 2nd verse. If you havent heard it then look it up. Amazing :)

Do you know what's worth fighting for

When it's not worth dying for?

Does it take your breath away

And you feel yourself suffocating?

Does the pain weigh out the pride?

And you look for a place to hide?

Did someone break your heart inside?

You're in ruins

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky

You and I

:yes:

When you're at the end of the road

And you lost all sense of control

And your thoughts have taken their toll

When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul

Your faith walks on broken glass

And the hangover doesn't pass

Nothing's ever built to last

You're in ruins

:yes:

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky

You and I

Did you try to live on your own

When you burned down the house and home?

Did you stand too close to the fire?

Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it's time to live and let die

And you can't get another try

Something inside this heart has died

You're in ruins

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky

You and I

Old thread I know but just saw it and thought I wold add.

We are Pilots - Shiny Toy Guns

Holding close my secrets

Naked broken pieces

-from the madness in what you do

The fingers point right back at you

What about my problems?

The people try to solve them

I guess I’m under the weather...

Since no one else belongs here, with me

Chorus

Hello mother,

Some news for you:)

I’m really not that crazy.

Hello father,

I'm curious?

Why you think there's something wrong with me.

Sunday I cried all night...

And it hurt so bad

But if you try to understand--

This is who I am.

Color coated sweetness

Swords beneath my clean dress

I'm making sense of shattered dreams

Because I want you to be proud of me

What about my problems?

The people try to solve them?

I guess i’m under the weather

Since no one else belongs here with me....

good song reminds me of High School

Motion City Soundtrack - Everything is Alright

Tell me that you're alright,

Yeah everything is alright.

Oh please tell me that you're alright,

Yeah everything is alright.

Give me a reason to end this discussion,

To break with tradition.

To fold and divide.

Cause I hate the ocean, theme parks and airplanes,

Talking with strangers, waiting in line..

I'm through with these pills that make me sit still.

"Are you feeling fine?"

Yes, I feel just fine.

Tell me that you're alright,

Yeah everything is alright.

Oh please tell me that you're alright,

Yeah everything is alright.

I'm sick of the things I do when I'm nervous

Like cleaning the oven or checking my tires

Or counting the number of tiles in the ceiling..

Head for the hills, the kitchen's on fire!

I used to rely on self-medication,

I guess I still do that from time to time.

But I'm getting better at fighting the future,

"Someday you'll be fine.."

Yes, I'll be just fine.

Tell me that you're alright,

Yeah everything is alright.

Oh please tell me that you're alright,

Yeah everything is alright.

Give me a reason (I don't believe a word)

To end this discussion (of anything I've heard)

To break with tradition (they tell me that it's not so hard)

To fold and divide (it's not so hard)

So let's not get carried (away with everything)

Away with the process (from here to in-between)

of elimination (the long goodbye)

I don't want to waste your time.

Tell me that you're alright,

Yeah everything is alright.

Oh please tell me that you're alright,

Yeah everything is alright.

(Alright)

Tell me that you're alright, (Hi, everything's great)

Yeah everything is alright. (Everything's fine)

Oh please tell me that you're alright, (Hi, everything's great)

Yeah everything is alright.

(Everything's fine) [x4]

Linkin Park-Bleed It Out. I listen to it all the time because it sort of somes up how i feel.

Yeah here we go for the hundred time

Hand grenade pins in every line

Throw 'em up and let something shine

Going out of my ******* mind

Filthy mouth, no excuse

Find a new place to hang this noose

String me up from atop these roofs

Knot it tight so I won't get loose

Truth is you can stop and stare

Run myself out and no one cares

Dug a trench out, laid down there

With a shovel up out of reach somewhere

Yeah someone pour it in

Make it a dirt dance floor again

Say your prayers and stomp it out

When they bring that chorus in

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away

Just to throw it away, just to throw it away

I bleed it out, go, stop the show

Choppy words in a sloppy flow

Shotgun, I pull, lock and load

**** it back and then watch it go

Mama help me I've been cursed

Death is rolling in every verse

Candy paint on his brand new Hearse

Can't contain him he knows he works

**** this hurts, I won?t lie

Doesn't matter how hard I try

[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/l/linkin-park-lyrics/bleed-it-out-lyrics.html ]

Half the words don't mean a thing

And I know that I won't be satisfied

So why try ignoring him?

Make it a dirt dance floor again

Say your prayers and stomp it out

When they bring that chorus in

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away

Just to throw it away, just to throw it away

I bleed it out

I've opened up these skies

I'll make you face this

I pulled myself so far

I'll make you face this now

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away

Just to throw it away, just to throw it away

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away

Just to throw it away, just to throw it away

I bleed it out

I bleed it out

I bleed it out

added this one in the members only section, thought i could place it here too

just thought i could share,

- Internal Cannon - from the new august burns red album Leveler,just about every song made me want to cry but this one is just so beautiful

dunno if im allowed to share youtube vids here but:

accoustic version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Njdcem4MkbI&feature=player_embedded

original version ( very loud):

lyrics

Internal Cannon

I’ve feared the deepest darkest secrets that live inside of me.

Defeat and tragedy, walking in shame, finding nowhere to hide.

I’ve thrown my bottles of guilt into the sea, hoping the waves carry them away

from me.

Oh....

My heart is beating. I’ll never stop fighting. I’ll keep breathing...

My heart is beating. I’ll never stop fighting. I’ll keep breathing to stay

alive.

And here I go, off to make a change. I’m screaming... screaming revival.

All of my strength, all of my might, will go into this to take back my life.

All of my strength, all of my might, will go back into this to take back my

life...

...my life... my life... my life. I’m taking back my life... my life... my

life... my life... taking back my life.

Let’s go....

This song is music to my ears... (this song is music...)

and is a new production on an old stage (...on an old stage).

I won’t dwell in unhappiness (I will not dwell in...), grasping humility,

asking forgiveness.

Tomorrow is gone, I’ll start living for today. I’ll never stop the fighting and

I’ll take it all away.

Tomorrow is gone, I’ll start living for today. I’ll never stop the fighting and

I’ll take it away

:whistling:

And the lyrics

I stare at my reflection in the mirror:

"Why am I doing this to myself?"

Losing my mind on a tiny error,

I nearly left the real me on the shelf.

No, no, no, no, no...

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!

Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,

It's okay not to be okay.

Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.

Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,

Just be true to who you are!

(who you are [x11])

Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?

I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah!

The more I try the less it's working, yeah

'Cause everything inside me screams

No, no, no, no, no...

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!

Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,

It's okay not to be okay.

Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.

But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,

There's nothing wrong with who you are!

Yes, no's, egos, fake shows, like WHOA!

Just go, and leave me alone!

Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight,

With a smile, that's my home!

That's my home, no...

No, no, no, no, no...

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!

Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,

It's okay not to be okay...

Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.

Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,

Just be true to who you are!

Yeah yeah yeah

You Must Love Me

Where do we go from here?

This isn't where we intended to be

We had it all, you believed in me,

I believed in you.

Certainties disappear

What do we do for our dream to survive?

How do we keep all our passions alive,

As we used to do?

Deep in my heart I'm concealing

Things that I'm longing to say,

Scared to confess what I'm feeling,

Frightened you'll slip away...

Why are you at my side?

How can I be any use to you now?

Give me a chance, and I'll

make you see

How nothing has changed.

This isn't the whole song, but it's the part that most reminds me of OCD.
