It Ain't Easy Being Me- Blake Shelton

[Clara22]

"Dying Inside" --- Gary Barlow

How can I make sure no one notices me
I don’t wanna conversation with nobody
And it hurts too much to say how I feel
What you don’t know, is all I know
How can I make sure that I fool everyone
Gonna wear a suit and tie and put my bravest face on
And it’s far too deep to show you this wound
It won’t heal no time soon
Nobody knows what I’m going through

I’m dying inside
Who knows what I’m thinking
What I’m trying to hide
Yeh I’m dying all night
I’m breathing but I can’t feel life
I’m smiling but I’m dying inside
How can I make sure I’m invisible
Or find just a simple phrase that may say it all
Cos it’s far too soon and not the right time
What I’ve seen was for my eyes
And how can I make sure no one worries for me
’Cos I don’t need helping hand and don’t want sympathy
Don’t know what I need but know what I don’t
What you can’t see it feels so broke
That you can’t see is how I’ll cope

Want everyone around to think that I’m alright
Hope they assume I’ve left the dark and found the light
Want them to think that I don’t cry myself to sleep at night

I was going to suggest this one. And also another. I have been fond of Simple Plan for quite some time and one of their songs seems to hit the right note when it comes to depression with me.

Simple Plan - Welcome To My Life.

[ImNotHere]

Zzyzx Rd - Stone Sour

"I don't know how was to put this
It's taken me so long to do this
Falling asleep and I can't see straight
My muscles feel like a melee
My body's curled in a U-shape
I put on my best but I'm still afraid

Propped up by lies and promises
Saving my place as life forgets
Maybe it's time I saw the world
I'm only here for a while
But patience is not my style
And I'm so tired that I gotta go

What am I suppose to hide now?
What am I suppose to do?
Did you really think I wouldn't see this through?
Tell me I should stick around for you
Tell me I could have it all
I'm still too tired to care and I gotta go

I get to go home in one week
But I'm leaving home in three weeks
They throw me a bone just to pick me dry
I'm following suit and directions
I crawl up inside for protection
I'm told what to do and I don't know why

I'm over existing in limbo
I'm over the myths and placebos
I don't really mind if I just fade away
I'm ready to live with my family
I'm ready to die in obscurity
'Cause I'm so tired that I gotta go

Where am I suppose to whine now?
What am I suppose to do?
You still don't think I'm going see this through
Tell me I'm a part of history
Tell me I can have it all
I'm still too tired to care and I gotta go "

Gaeta's Lament from BSG

The Fragile Nine Inch Nails

[shortandcute]

I Need You Now--by Lady Antebellum
Paparazzi--Lady Gaga, well actually more the video (weird I know)
The Show Must go on, by three dog night (early to mid 1970's)
Save Me From This Winter (forgot who sang it, But it's done by a Christian artist; it's like a prayer asking God to help him out of his depression)

Bad dream - from keane
Hide in your shell - supertramp
People are strange - the doors

And many others that sometimes I remember ...like the sound of silence by Simon and Garfunkle

Tight Hughs

[shabur]

I know this song is actually about drug abuse, but the words say so much about what I want to feel as I suffer through depression. I want to be held, gently, and feel comforted and loved/

ANGEL - Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance,
for a break that would make it okay.
There's always some reason
to feel not good enough,
and it's hard, at the end of the day.
I need some distraction,
oh, beautiful release.
memories seep from my veins.
Let me be empty,
oh, and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight.

So tired of the straight line,
and everywhere you turn,
there's vultures and thieves at your back.
The storm keeps on twisting.
keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack.
It don't make no difference,
escape one last time.
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness,
oh, this glorious sadness,
that brings me to my knees.

In the arms of an angel,
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear.
You are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie.
You're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here.

[Unstable29]

"Unstable" Artist: Krizz Kaliko

And sometimes I don't, I don't feel good
Not physically but mentally, mentally
It's like I lose myself, like I'm not
Krizz anymore like
Unstable

It seems like I would've fixed it
But I've been gone for way too long
Put a band-aid on it to fix it
But I'll be barely hangin' on
If this is hell then I need help
So dark, it's like I never see the sun
It's like I'm dreamin' but feels so real
And I can't be the only one

Unstable! Give me a reason
'Cause I can't stop but thinkin' 'bout leavin
I'm so unstable! (unstable)
And I need help 'cause
I can't do it by myself

Unstable! Give me a reason
'Cause I can't stop but thinkin' 'bout leavin
I'm so unstable!
And I need God
By myself is just too hard
So unstable

Now I'm back on my coo-coo, medicine it's better than
Feelin' like I'd rather be in heaven if it never end
Even that is soon to a better room
Wish I could go back up in the room if there was any room
Unbirth me, this earth hurts me
Said I'm berserk, not a single person heard me
Up and down like workin' what I do when I'm worthy
If life's a beast then can we at least go surfin'?
My group was alone, under the umbrella soon, rains is the new soup
Pain got me jumpin' through these hoops
That's why I jump back in this booth
So when I figure it out I get it out
When I get rid of it so I gotta let it out
I'm still breathin' feelin' completely

Unstable! Give me a reason
'Cause I can't stop but thinkin' 'bout leavin
I'm so unstable! (unstable)
And I need help
I can't do it by myself

Unstable! Give me a reason
'Cause I can't stop but thinkin' 'bout leavin
I'm so unstable!
And I need God
'Cause by myself is just too hard
So unstable

Make it up out of it, battle it, take a hit, gotta get
Out of it before it gets malignant
I'm digging my own grave and being my own slave
I figure it's gon take a miracle one day
To get it up off me, it's killin' me softly
The feelin' is awfully like Jitterbug from coffee
Again this disorder, got me thinkin' it's over
Can we do this over [?]

Kali baby may be crazy
Since the day that you was born
But if he raised in 3 days maybe
He can get me through this storm

Unstable! Give me a reason
'Cause I can't stop but thinkin' 'bout leavin
I'm so unstable! (unstable)
And I need help
I can't do it by myself

Unstable! Give me a reason
'Cause I can't stop but thinkin' 'bout leavin
I'm so unstable!
And I need God
'Cause by myself is just too hard
So unstable, and I find myself lately reaching
Out to God, 'cause well, unstable

[HauntedElevator]

The way the song sounds is mostly how I feel all the time.
From A Shell - Lisa Germano

And the earth spins round while the people fall down
And the world stands still not a sound, not a sound
There is love, there is love to be found

In the worst way
In the worst way
In the worst way

Smother by Daughter
"In the darkness I will meet my creators
And they will all agree, that I'm a suffocator"

Hurt by Nine Inch Nails
"I hurt myself today,
To see if I'd still feel."

Beauty from Pain by Superchick
"And all that's left is to accept that it's over
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that i made"

Speeding Cars by Imogen Heap
"Don’t feed me violins, just run with me
Through rows of speeding cars"

Fast Car by Tracy Chapman
"And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone"

[smmath]

I thought of another one.

Hurt-- Cover by Johnny Cash

[Rohag]

It's not a song but a musical composition for piano: John Cage's

(1951; excerpt)

[Always be a unicorn]

Bright Eyes - by Art Garfunkel

"How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?"

Sums it up better than any song I know.

[Djinn8]

Nirvana
Lithium

I'm so happy,
'cause today I found my friends,
They're in my head.

And I'm so ugly,
That's OK 'cause so are you,
We broke our mirrors.

Sunday morning,
is everyday for all I care,
But I don't care.

Light my candles,
in a daze 'cause I found God.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

I'm so lonely,
It's OK to shave my head,
But I'm not sad.

And just maybe,
I'm to blame for all I've heard,
But I'm not sure.

I'm so excited,
I can't wait to meet you there,
But I don't care.

And I'm so horny,
That's OK, my will is good.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

I like it - I'm not gonna crack.
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack.
I love you - I'm not gonna crack.
I'd kill you but I'm not gonna crack.

Yeah...

----------------

Drowning Pool
Tear Away

I'm tearing away,
The pieces are falling I can't seem to make them stay.
You run away,
Faster and faster, you can't seem to get away.

Break...

Hope there's a reason,
Questions unanswered I just don't see everything.
Yes, I'm inside you.
Tell me how does it fell to feel like this, just like I do.

Do I really want this?
Sometimes I scare myself, I just can't let it go.
Can you believe it?
Everything happens for reasons I just don't know.

I don't care about anyone else but me.
I don't care about anyone.
I don't care care about anyone else but me.
I don't care about anyone or anything but me.

Finally, just one line from an Otep song:

"I survive, but I'm alive!".

[megfedorczyk]

"End Of My Rope" - Trapt

Things are getting harder and harder and harder
Seems like I barely get by
The days are getting shorter and shorter and shorter
I just can't find enough time
It's all around me
The fear of failing
It's all around me
And I keep looking down at where I know I could be
I don't want to hit the bottom

I'm at the end of my rope
Hanging from the last little bit of hope
Feeling like I'm bout to lose control
Maybe I should just let go
I'm at the end of my rope
Clinging to the only thing I know
As long as there's something left to hold
I won't let go

I can still remember remember remember
It was so easy to fly
I thought I'd live forever forever forever
Now I gotta fight to survive
It's all around me
Life's changing
It's all around me
But I just can't let it fall too far out of reach
I don't want to hit the bottom

I'm at the end of my rope
Hanging from the last little bit of hope
Feeling like I'm bout to lose control
Maybe I should just let go
I'm at the end of my rope
Clinging to the only thing I know
As long as there's something left to hold
I won't let go

There's still some hope
At the end of my rope
At the end of my rope

Everyone of us has got a story to tell
Some are still lost some have found themselves
Some are in denial with no soul to sell
And I am still here at the wishing well
I'll keep trying I'll keep fighting

I'm at the end of my rope
Hanging from the last little bit of hope
Feeling like I'm bout to lose control
Maybe I should just let go
I'm at the end of my rope
Clinging to the only thing I know
As long as there's something left to hold
I won't let go
I won't let go
I won't let go

There's still some hope
At the end of my rope
At the end of my rope

[LifeIsCruel]

Green Day "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"

[herethennow]

Nickelback - Savin Me

"These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you

Come please I'm callin'
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'"


.. and to remedy that would be Nickelback's Lullaby.

"Well I know the feeling
Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
And there ain't no healing
From cutting yourself with the jagged edge

I'm telling you that
It's never that bad
And taking that something is where at
Lay down on the floor
And your not sure
You can take this anymore

So just give it one more try
To a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And you can't tell
I'm scared as hell
Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Well honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby"

[Sadley]

Trapt: Bleed Like Me

Skillet: Dead Inside, Falling Inside the Black

Korn: Blind, Alone I Break, When Will This End

Metallica: Fade to Black, The Shortest Straw, My Friend of Misery

I only have about a thousand of these for examples...here's a few.

The destiny I've chose, all becoming clear
The currents have their say, the time is drawing near
Washes me away...makes me disappear"
The Great Below - Nine Inch Nails

"I could possibly be fading or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder, I could feel myself under your fate"
Into Dust - Mazzy Star

"All the days are the days to keep in your mind
And the mind dims to dark with the passing of time
He says 'I can't remember - as old as I am'"
As Old As I Am - The DoneFors

"i'm working on erasing you
just don't have the proper tools
i get hammered, forget that you exist
there's no way i'm forgetting this"
My Backwards Walk - Frightened Rabbit

"Like a soul without a mind
In a body without a heart
I'm missing every part"
Unfinished Sympathy - Massive Attack

"Now that I've found you and seen behind those eyes
How can I carry on?
For so bare is my heart, I can't hide
And so where does my heart belong?"
Undenied - Portishead

There's a Mark Knopfler song that has a lyric something like:

The suns's going down on the bay and falling off the world

Although the song is a love song and about the beauty of nature, sometimes I wish more than anything I could watch a sunset and fall off the world

I listen a lot to Demi Lovato "Skyscraper", every single day. I keep playing it over and over again. She was very depressed for a while too, cut herself, and bipolar. She went to rehab. Her Dad died who was also mentally ill.
