[DaughterOfOmega]

I will start posting some lyrics that have stuck out to me, and have stuck with me for most of my life, with some reasons on why they mean a lot to me.

First

"When this began
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
But all that they can see the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong"

Intro to "Somewhere I Belong" - Linkin Park

Linkin Park was one of the few bans that I attached myself to when I was young because of the feelings and views I shared with Chester their lead vocalist. In this particular set of lyrics I always love how he talked about being confused and unaware that he wasn't the only one. Wanting to seek out what he thought was never real, because all he knew was pain for so long and life didn't seem to have something real. The continuous desire to heal and find that place you belong is my daily struggle as well.

[DaughterOfOmega]

"I am, a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense
I am, what you never want to say
But I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you
For once just to hear me out"

A small excerpt from "Faint" - Linkin Park

I've always struggled explaining my struggles and who I am, people mistrusting who I am comes as a result of that. I love how LP put it, and the low feeling of just wanting to have someone hear you out for once.

[DaughterOfOmega]

Onto another artist that helped me express my inner emotions and faults. Kid Cudi.

"I've got some issues that nobody can see
And all of these emotions are pouring out of me
I bring them to the light for you
It's only right
This is the soundtrack to my life (yeah, yeah)
The soundtrack to my life
I'm super paranoid, like a sixth sense
Since my father died, I ain't been right since
And I tried to piece the puzzle of the universe
Split an eighth of 'shrooms just so I could see the universe
I tried to think about myself as a sacrifice
Just to show the kids they ain't the only ones who up at night
The moon will illuminate my room and soon I'm consumed by my doom
Once upon a time nobody gave a fuck
It's all said and done and my cock's been sucked
So now I'm in the cut, alcohol in the wound
My heart's an open sore that I hope heals soon
I live in a cocoon opposite of Cancun
Where it is never sunny, the dark side of the moon
So it's more than right, I try to shed some light on a man
Not many people of this planet understand, fam'"

Soundtrack 2 my life - Kid Cudi

Similar reasons to LP's lyrics. Not being able to be understood, and having issues that are invisible to those around you.

[DaughterOfOmega]

"They can't comprehend
Or even come close to understanding him
I guess if I was borin' they would love me more
Guess if I was simple in the mind, everything would be fine
Maybe if I was jerk to girls
Instead of being nice and speakin' kind words
Then maybe it would be okay to say then
I wasn't a good guy to begin with
But my mind is all crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
They got me thinkin' I ain't human
Like I came in from above, above, above, above, above
Feelin' like a airplane in the sky
But then they say I'm crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
They got me thinkin' I ain't human
Like I came in from above, above, above, above, above
Feelin' like a bird sittin' high, high
I be that man on the moon
I'm that man on the moon
And I'ma do what I do, so do you, hey, hey
I be posted with my blunt and a brew, my dude
I'm that man on the moon
I'm up-up on the moon"

"Man on the Moon" - Kid Cudi

When I was growing up, I dealt with a lot of confusion being labeled a lot in my life, not understanding what it meant to be crazy. Not understanding the world, and being told you are a bad guy, and you aren't like everyone else is tough to take in. This song in particular taught me that I wouldn't get anywhere trying to be the person they want me to be, and that if "I ain't human" then I should do me and be the man on the moon.

[DaughterOfOmega]

"I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire, exhale desire
I know it's dire my time today
I have these thoughts, so often I ought
To replace that slot with what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole my car radio
And now I just sit in silence
Sometimes quiet is violent
I find it hard to hide it
My pride is no longer inside
It's on my sleeve
My skin will scream reminding me of
Who I killed inside my dream
I hate this car that I'm driving
There's no hiding for me
I'm forced to deal with what I feel
There is no distraction to mask what is real
I could pull the steering wheel"

"Car Radio" - Twenty One Pilonts

[DaughterOfOmega]

"I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight"

"I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends"

"Breaking the Habit" - Linkin Park

This song actually reminds me a lot of my early mafia communities, on places like Mu or 2+2. I was going through so much, and I was so confused. I always found myself in battles, not knowing how I got there. I always said things I didn't mean, and couldn't fathom why I was screaming so much. I finally have some clarity, and have worked on breaking those habits of my dark side. This song helps motivate me a lot, because there are months that I feel my effort either isn't achieving the goals I set, or that the progress I make doesn't change what those think of me. I am the one at fault but I will never fight again, and I guess that is how mafia ends for me.

[DaughterOfOmega]

"What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty
So let mercy come and wash away"

"What I've Done" - Linkin Park

I suffer from strong regret, over a lifetime of not understanding myself and letting the uncontrolled me run rampant hurting others, and hurting myself. I listen to this, and try to remember what my focus is, and all of this pain is for. It's hard to make up for years of causing pain and hatred. It does a lot to your head, but it's worth it in the end.

[DaughterOfOmega]

"I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so, I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new"

The Reason - Hoobastank

Very similar reasoning to the above song

[DaughterOfOmega]

"I couldn't tell you
Why she felt that way
She felt it everyday
And I couldn't help her
I just watched her make
The same mistakes again
What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems
Don't know where she belongs
Where she belongs
She wants to go home
But nobody's home
That's where she lies
Broken inside
With no place to go
No place to go
To dry her eyes
Broken inside"

Nobody's Home - Avril Lavigne

[DaughterOfOmega]

"Maybe your ego and echo friendly
Bro you got a life that we don't envy
And I bet suicide must be so tempting, do it

Wait, hold up (damn)
Fucks wrong with me?
I can't leave me alone with me
I'm like, "Who is this nigga and why do I fear him?"
It couldn't be clearer, the man inside the mirror
Wait, hold up (shit)
Stop controlling me
I don't know who I'm supposed to be
I'm like, (Who is this nigga and why do I fear him?)
It couldn't be clearer, the man inside the mirror"

Alone with me - Hopsin

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

On the topic of cudi lyrics that resonate

People told me slow my roll, I'm screaming out "Fuck that"
I'ma do just what I want, looking ahead, no turning back
If I fall, if I die, know I lived it to the fullest
If I fall, if I die, know I lived and missed some bullets

From pursuit of happiness, an all around plus plus song

I probably listen to that entire album every few months. It has stuck to me for a long time, and needed it post highschool

[G-Man]

I’ll have to think about this one. I’m not one to focus too heavily on lyrics unless something hits my ears that is a slick turn of phrase or really corny/vulgar. The latter seems to happen far more often than the former. I usually just take in the vocals as another instrument and consider how well a singer’s voice and delivery meshes with a song.

The song lyrics I probably remember best are from my teenage years, but I am no longer in that moody, hormonal headspace.

[DaughterOfOmega]

"Before we go any further
Friends

[Verse]
As you call 'em, they call you when they need something
Trees for the blunt, the G's for the front
I found a way to get peace of mind for years and left the hell alone
Turn a deaf ear to the cellular phone
Send me a letter or better, we could see each other in real life
Just so you could feel me like a steel knife
At least so you could see the white of they eyes
Bright with surprise, once they finish spitting lies
Asssociates, is your boys, your girls, bitches, niggas, homies
Close, but really don't know me
Mom, dad, comrade, peeps, brothers, sisters, duns, dunnies
Some come around when they need some money
Others make us laugh like the Sunday funnies
Fam be around whether you paid or bummy
You could either ignore this advice or take it from me
Be too nice and people take you for a dummy
So nowadays he ain't so friendly
Actually they wouldn’t even made a worthy enemy"

"I check the dictionary for the meaning of friend
It said: person, one who likes to socialize with
Sympathiser, helper, and that's about the size of it
Most of the time these attributes is one-sided
To bolster the crime, they're apt to shoot you through your eyelid
And they can't hide it, going wild like a white bitch
Sometimes ya need to cut niggas off like a light switch
(Click!) And when things get quiet
Catch 'em like a thief in the night, what a riot"

Deep Fried Frenz - MF DOOM
RIP MF DOOM

This is one of my favorite sets of lyrics from him. Friends and trust is something I've never really understood in my life, because most of time I think I am friends with someone, it usually ends up being one sided and my trust being betrayed. Doom talks about that well in this song.
