Diver012 Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 You ever find yourself listening to music that could slow down the healing process? I love music. I get lost in it so easily. Ive played a few instruments back in the day and its always been a part of my life... I think music helps set your mood. It can guide you to where you need to be, or pull you in the wrong direction... While I know I should be listening to songs like "I dont care anymore" by Phil Collins, I find myself listening instead to "Right Here" by Stained.
Brittanyjean06 Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Music place a big part in the process I'm going through, I meen when I hear a song that gets my adrenalin going and makes me happy, I feel fine and happy. Now if a very sad song comes on, I really usually change it even if I like it. It would be nice for it to be a healer for me, but I can't bare to hear some songs..
that_kid Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Yeah, right now it's "Lying Eyes" by The Eagles for me...
Pantero Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Fallen by Sarah McLachlan. I'm addicted to feeling miserable.
fabulousgal Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 I just don't listen to anything right now!!!! Its horrid but true....
GB111 Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Heard an old song the other day that really made me feel much better. "Feeling Stronger Every Day" by Chicago. Specifically about the end of a relationship. Made me feel pretty good, actually!
Guest Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 I think music helps set your mood. It can guide you to where you need to be, or pull you in the wrong direction... Why don't you try 'Better do Better' by Hard-Fi. Puts a smile on my face without fail!
Author Diver012 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Posted May 31, 2006 The Gift... Blasting the HELL out of it as I type this!!! Hold me now I need to feel relief Like I never wanted anything I suppose I'll let this go and find a reason I'll hold on to I'm so ashamed of defeat And I'm out of reason to believe in me I'm out of trying to get by I'm so afraid of the gift you give me I don't belong here and I'm not well I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living Right on the wrong side of it all I can't face myself when I wake up And look inside a mirror I'm so ashamed of that thing I suppose I'll let it go Til I have something more to say for me I'm so afraid of defeat And I'm out of reason to believe in me I'm out of trying to defy I'm so afraid of the gift you give me I don't belong here and I'm not well I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living Right on the wrong side of it all Hold me now I need to feel complete Like I matter to the one I need I'm so afraid of the gift you give me I don't belong here and I'm not well I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living Right on the wrong side of it all Now I'm ashamed of this I am so ashamed of this Now I'm so ashamed of this I am so ashamed of me...
Author Diver012 Posted June 18, 2006 Author Posted June 18, 2006 Another Damn good song... by Evanescene Perfect by nature Icons of self indulgence Just what we all need More lies about a world that Never was and never will be Have you no shame? Don't you see me? You know you've got everybody fooled Look here she comes now Bow down and stare in wonder Oh how we love you No flaws when you're pretending But now I know she Never was and never will be You don't know how you've betrayed me And somehow you've got everybody fooled Without the mask, where will you hide? Can't find yourself lost in your lie I know the truth now I know who you are And I don't love you anymore It Never was and never will be You don't know how you've betrayed me And somehow you've got everybody fooled It never was and never will be You're not real and you can't save me Somehow now you're everybody's fool
Author Diver012 Posted June 18, 2006 Author Posted June 18, 2006 Going Under by Evanescene 50 thousand tears I've cried Screaming, deceiving, and bleeding for you And you still won't hear me Don't want your hand this time, I'll save myself Maybe I'll wake up for once Not tormented...Daily defeated by you Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom I'm dying again... (Chorus) I'm going under Drowning in you I'm falling forever I've got to break through I'm going under Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies So I don't know what's real and what's not Always confusing the thoughts in my head So I can't trust myself anymore I'm dying again (Chorus) So go on and scream Scream at me I'm so far away I won't be broken again I've got to breathe I can't keep going under (Chorus)
Author Diver012 Posted June 18, 2006 Author Posted June 18, 2006 Hello: by Evanescence playground school bell rings again rain clouds come to play again has no one told you she's not breathing? hello i'm your mind giving you someone to talk to hello if i smile and don't believe soon i know i'll wake from this dream don't try to fix me i'm not broken hello i'm the lie living for you so you can hide don't cry suddenly i know i'm not sleeping hello i'm still here all that's left of yesterday

While I know I should be listening to songs like "I dont care anymore" by Phil Collins, I find myself listening instead to "Right Here" by Stained. I know what you mean, Music is a big part of my life as well. I try to devote at least 6 hours to guitar a day. It's a good hobby to have, whenever Im feeling down I can focus all my energy into my instrument until all the negitivity washes away under my playing. Hahaha, I know what you mean about listening to music that could hurt you what your coping. When one of my Ex's broke up with me (My first love, actually), my good friend told me; "Now, make sure you don't listen to ANY Jonny Cash for a while. You'll kill yourself." Apparently his brother almost did after a break-up, he listened to too much Jonny Cash, and yeah. Anyway, Music is really the most important thing in my life. It kicks ass.
Bullgator Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 I don't know if the music influences the mood, or the mood influences the music. After all, Phil Collins wrote "I don't care anymore" a couple of years after his marriage ended, during which time he had become an international pop star. I'm sure he didn't care at that point.
Guitar Wizard Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 I don't know if the music influences the mood, or the mood influences the music. Actually, it's both. "Major" guitar chords are used to portray a happy feeling in the brain, while "Minor" chords are used to portay sad feelings. So, if your feeling blue, you can eather play a bunch of minor chords to reflect your sadness, or a bunch of major chords to cheer you up Music is neat.
StussyMagnet Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Music is a big part of my life too. Play guitar everyday and have started learning the drums. Right now I'm listening to anything by the Arctic Monkeys (particularly 'Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts'). Definitely NOT listening to anything by The Smiths (particularly not 'Never Had No-one Ever'!) No sad music here!
Author Diver012 Posted June 23, 2006 Author Posted June 23, 2006 Lost in my music again tonight... just thought I would share... My Immortal By Evanescence I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave 'Cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me You used to captivate me By your resonating life Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind Your face it haunts My once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away All the sanity in me I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone But though you're still with me I've been alone all along
AriaIncognito Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 man the lyrics of my immortal ring very true for me right now. I agree, music is a huge part of me and my moods. I'm a singer, and actually got my degree in music ed (though i'm not using it). I play a few instruments, and in general, always can find some happiness amongst depression, by doing something with music. It's just right now, I hear certain songs that remind me of him. Songs he liked. Etc. Sad how that happens too... Jennifer
Great Gazoo Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 I love music also, I love songs with emotion in them, you can just feel them. Heres one I love listening to in my self pity. Stabbing Westward- Save Yourself I know your life is empty And you hate to face this world alone So you're searching for an angel Someone who can make you whole I can not save you I can't even save myself So just save yourself I know that you've been damaged Your soul has suffered such abuse But I am not your savior I am just as f**ked as you I can not save you I can't even save myself So just save yourself Please don't take pity on me Please don't take pity on me Please don't take pity on me Please don't take pity on me My life has been a nightmare My soul is fractured to the bone And if I must be lonely, I think I'd rather be alone I think I'd rather be alone You can not save me You can't even save yourself I can not save you I can't even save myself Save yourself So just save yourself
Poboy Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 It also depends on kind of music you listen to I prefer black or death metal if i am recovering. Helps much better i think in coping faster Listening to slow songs or rock songs can infact lead to more thinking abt the whole relationship in my opinion which is not good or is it . what do others think ?
AriaIncognito Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Behind these hazel eyes - Kelly Clarkson Seems like just yesterday You were a part of me I used to stand so tall I used to be so strong Your arms around me tight Everything, it felt so right Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong Now I can't breathe No, I can't sleep I'm barely hanging on Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes I told you everything Opened up and let you in You made me feel alright For once in my life Now all that's left of me Is what I pretend to be So together, but so broken up inside 'Cause I can't breathe No, I can't sleep I'm barely hangin' on Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes Swallow me then spit me out For hating you, I blame myself Seeing you it kills me now No, I don't cry on the outside Anymore... Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes
Author Diver012 Posted June 24, 2006 Author Posted June 24, 2006 Letting GO: By ME At the end of the day When a loves gone away Does it really even matter The reasons feelings get shattered We sit and wonder why Our minds wonder and cry We scream out in pain Our soul is stripped away The pain just wont subside We crawl inside and hide Till one day comes along Bad feelings now are gone You have to let it go It takes some time I know Let out the bad inside Let Love back in your life Another will come along If you are true and strong Don’t deny your self this fact And you’ll find a love that lasts
