A song lyric that encapsulates what your about?

[Eamar]

It doesn't really describe *all* of me, but this really sums up how I feel about escapism a lot of the time:

Spoiler: You know, when I'm feeling all fed up and nihilistic and stuff

Spoiler: I'm particularly fond of this lyric

Come with me and join me/ a new life's waiting for you/ Jump through the mirror/ leave fear behind

So, make of that what you will.

 

[Clearing the Eye]

I find this band manages to sum up my feelings and ideologies quite well. Their songs mostly deal with government, social constructions and culture. This song in particular, I think, defines my attitude towards both my own country and more specifically the U.S.

Racking the Skulls of American Golgatha, by Buried Inside

Believing is seeing
The facts will construct themselves
Unitary, innate, and linearly rankable

Believing is seeing
The facts will perpetuate themselves
Under a bankrupt banner of science and dogma
A self-fulfilling prophecy of biological determinism

The essence of every picture is the frame
Sewn up at the seams
Nailed down dreams

In objectivity we trust
Serving numbers like gods, as apostles to IQ
But the paths to destruction are often indirect
Unlike the last train to Auschwitz or the angle of Broca's meter stick
History has spoken, science is not neutral

Strangle the last reification with the guts of the last quantification
Plato was wrong
Unbelieving is unseeing
Debunk or die

 

[Loonyyy]

The entirety of Rise Against's Voices Off Camera.

"I can't bear the thought of losing
I dread the attention winning brings
And ever since the day I came here
I can stand without your strings

And I'm so sick of all these people
But I'm scared to be alone
And if this life has taught me anything
I forgot it long ago"

-Me, pretty much every day.

I set my sail
fly the wind it will take me
back to my home, sweet home

Lie on my back
clouds are making way for me
I'm coming home, sweet home

I see,
your star
you left it burning for me
Mother, I'm here.

Eyes open wide
feel your heart and it's glowing
I'm welcome home, sweet home

I take your hand
now you'll never be lonely
not when I'm home, sweet home

I see,
your star,
you left it burning for me
Mother, I'm here.

I've not been feeling too well recently.

...Stop staring at me!

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

"I'll do what I got to, the truth
is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt"

Yeah I am hopelessly in love with my wife to an unhealthy addiction.

 

[Innegativeion]

I've always been all about the whole "fuck destiny, decide your own path, and never give up on it" thing.

So,

Spoiler: Specific lyric

"Let's decide to be the architects, the masters of our fate! We still believe in all the things that we stood by before, and after everything we've seen, here, maybe even more."

Oddly enough, I can't actually think of anything off hand. I probably will later, but for now I can't - if I do then I'll edit this post to add it in. However, I can probably write a song to sum up myself and my own feelings. I actually want to write a proper character song for each of the girls from Katawa Shoujo (anyone who wants to get involved with that and plays an instrument, get in touch!), and the song I want to write for Rin would be as much for myself as for her, I reckon. So watch this space!

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

This song basically described me up until relatively recently.


"Kiss me/hold me/help me break this/frozen sea within."

 

[SB Ripping]

I?d rather die enormous than live dormant thats how we on it.

 

[Blunderboy]

I set my sail
fly the wind it will take me
back to my home, sweet home

Lie on my back
clouds are making way for me
I'm coming home, sweet home

I see,
your star
you left it burning for me
Mother, I'm here.

Eyes open wide
feel your heart and it's glowing
I'm welcome home, sweet home

I take your hand
now you'll never be lonely
not when I'm home, sweet home

I see,
your star,
you left it burning for me
Mother, I'm here.

Is it Mutter by Rammstein? Translated of course.

EDIT- It's not. It's from Bastion. Oh well.

I can't believe this hasn't been posted yet. Also, it's terrifying how much this fits me. Well, no, it fits me-of-between-two-and-ten-years-ago, I'm more well-adjusted now, but still.
