Will321 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 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: Link to comment
Guest noname Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 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.

lucy :) Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 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. Xxxx Link to comment
Guest Louby Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 'Mad world' by Sacre reminds me of the struggle with ocd and deppression only listen to it if im sad though not a very upbeat tune Link to comment
Guest LadyMacbeth Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 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 :/ Link to comment
Guest carpediem1975 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 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 ...

Guest noname Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 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 Link to comment

Guest xxBistoJoexx Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 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 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 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 Link to comment
Guest dazed Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 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.... Link to comment
Guest randyrambles Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 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] Link to comment
Guest DanniiLou89 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 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 Link to comment

Guest Thijs Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 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 Link to comment

Guest LucyS Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 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 [/center] Link to comment

Guest cookiegirf Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 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.
