This was actually inspired by a thing I saw on Buzzfeed. Type/paste some song lyrics that changed your outlook on life or helped you through a tough time. If you want, explain how they helped!
Mine are from "Blessings" by Laura Story:
'What if Your blessings come through raindrops, what if Your healing comes through tears? What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near?'
(I was going though a really tough time. My best friend at the time was completely ignoring me, my mom had just been laid off from her job, and a lot of my friends were acting weird around me and were completely oblivious to the fact that I was dealing with what I now believe was mild depression. I prayed a lot, but nothing seemed to change. I found this song, and it's really helped me through. I'll repeat these lyrics to myself sometimes if things are going wrong.)
"If I could take it all back now I wouldn't, I would've did more shit that people said that I shouldn't."
The whole song #41 by Dave Matthew’s Band was by far the most connecting song for me.
However, a specific lyric that will I will always sing with/love is:
“ Remember when I used to play
For all of the loneliness that nobody
Notices now
I'm begging slow I'm coming here
Only waiting I wanted to stay
I wanted to play,
I wanted to love you”
Car Radio by Twenty One Pilots. The whole song resonates right now, but it's the second verse's
" I ponder of something terrifying
Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind
I find over the course of a human existence
One thing consists of consistence
And that's that we're all battling fear
Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here
Oh my, too deep, please stop thinking
I liked it better when my car had sound. "
is a part that I'm resonating with. I have to ponder the terrifying thought that I don't know when I'm going to see my best friend again, and everything seems to be hitting the fan at once. The song ends with
" And now I just sit in silence "
Silence. A word my brain wants to know.
Yeah, I just love those lyrics. They give me something to understand.
slides in, a month later
"you can choke on your misery" from 'therapy' by all time low.
more often than not, it's written on my arm. i took it as a "fuck sadness" sort of thing.

that's metal as hell fr tho
On the complete opposite end of the spectrum from my first post on here, I present the chorus of "New Me" by Ella Eyre:
'Ella ain't here, it's a new me
I don't make time for your foolin
Kinda got things to be doin
Ella ain't here for your problems
Left-right-left, keep on walkin
Shoulda took care of your diamonds, oh
It's a new-new me, it's a new me'
I had like no self-esteem and while I still don't have a lot, this song did a lot to raise it.
I have a couple :/
"So Nice So Smart" by Kimya Dawson (literally such a cute song, it's from "Juno", 10/10 recommend)
"You're so nice and you're so smart
You're such a good friend, I have to break your heart
I'll tell you that I love you, then I'll tear your world apart
Just pretend I didn't tear your world apart"
"It's U" by Cavetown (once again, the cutest song)
"If you go blind, I'll describe the view, if you can't feel then I'll hold you
If you fall, know I've got you"
"Individuality Was so Last Year" by $uicideBoy$ & Travis Barker (this didn't change my life or anything but it's always stuck in my head"
"When I die I want a mural painted of me
If I'm lucky, they'll pick a building that's really f*cking ugly"
Pretty much the entirety of "Scars to Your Beautiful" by Alessia Cara, but this part in particular:
'She don't see her perfect, she don't understand she's worth it
Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface'
LMAOO i’m sorry but every time i hear that song there are two things that really get me
one, what does the title even mean?? i guess i understand, but the sentence makes absolutely no sense
and two, she don’t have to change a thing, the world could change its heart
if the whole world hates you, there may be a problem
My comfort song at the moment is North by Sleeping At Last
It's basically the whole song, but these are the lyrics that resonate a lot
We will call this place our home
The dirt in which our roots may grow
Though the storms will push and pull
We will call this place our home
Let the years we're here be kind, be kind
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide
Settle our bones like wood over time, over time
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine
A little broken, a little new.
We are the impact and the glue
Smaller than dust on this map
Lies the greatest thing we have
The dirt in which our roots may grow
And the right to call it home
this part from ease up kid by hippo campus really comforts me
ease up, kid, don't you worry, you'll be fine
simple worries have got you, it's alright
things will change with the seasons, until that time
be a man, be a brother, you'll be fine
@Iron_Soldier_Is_Struggling_But_OK i have that song on my winter mornings playlist!
From RWBY , song title: It's my turn
"You were the one
Who held me down and told me
I was heading nowhere
You said know your place
Accept your fate and show good face
And be thankful that you're there
That was so long ago
When you owned me
I believed it was true
Bend me shape me
Build me break me
Why was I your fool?
And now I'm so much stronger
I'm not yours any longer"
I've spent a lot of my life believing I belonged to some one else, This lyric in particular but really the entire song just kinda helped me kick that Idea away.
these,,,,,,,, these vErseS hoLy crAp-
(song: mrs potato head by melanie martinez)
"Kids forever, kids forever
Baby soft skin turns into leather
Don't be dramatic it's only some plastic
No one will love you if you're unattractive"
and,,,,,
"If you want a little more confidence
Potatoes turn to french fries, yeah it's common sense
All you need's a couple more condiments
And a hundred thousand dollars for some compliments
It's such a waste
When little girls grow into their mother's face
But little girls are learning how to cut and paste
And pucker up their lips until they suffocate"
this whole song is about plastic surgery and i mmmmm i just can't with melanie rn what the absolute friCk she said all the things i have been wanting to say to others about plastic surgery in the form of a beautful song holy h e c k
(omigod i always love melanie's songs they all have meanings like pity party is probs my fave song but strawberry shortcake is my fave meaning)
(yesss same i love the messages in her songs and the metaphors she uses to describe them it's just UGH i love her so much i pretty much grew up with her music too so that also adds to it too-)
(Lauren Aquilina’s: King. The whole song gets to me, but these two verses especially.)
You're alone, you're on your own, so what?
Have you gone blind?
Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours?
Glass half empty, glass half full
Well either way you won't be going thirsty
Count your blessings not your flaws
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king again
This song has helped me through so many things. It speaks to me on a personal note, and I’m sure it will with a lot of y’all too. It seems kind of sad, but It’s also so beautiful.
(omigod i love King! I learnt all the lyrics and i know it off by heart. was introduced to it through an animatic last year or the year before)
the chorus of ikon's i'm ok
I'm OK
위로하지 마 동정하지 마
곁에 있어 줄 필요 없어 괜찮으니까
I'm OK
걱정하지 마 신경 쓰지 마
차라리 혼자 있는 게 난 익숙하니까
I'm OK
or, rather the translation.
I’m OK
Don't comfort me
You don't have to have pity on me
You don't have to stay with me, I'm fine
I’m OK
Don't worry about me
You don't have to mind about me
I'm used to be alone
I’m OK
i dunno why, but this song… it's always hit me.
