What are some Songs that describe you?

[Animal]

Here's my offshoot of PleasureToBurn 's thread: What are some movies or shows that Describe you?

What are some songs that describe you, or reflect who you are, how you often feel?

[Animal]

Music of the Night

Night time sharpens,
Heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses
Abandon their defenses

Slowly gently, night unfurls
Its splendour
Grasp it, sense it,
Tremulous and tender



Turn your face away
From the garish light of day,
Turn your thoughts away
From cold unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night



Close your eyes and
Surrender to your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life
You knew before
Close your eyes,
Let your spirit start to soar



And you'll live as you've
Never lived before

Softly, deftly
Music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it
Secretly possess you



Open up your mind
Let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know
You can not fight,
The darkness of
The music of the night



Let your mind start a journey
Through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world
You knew before
Let your soul take
You where you long to be

Only then can you belong to me



Floating, falling
Sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me
Savor each sensation
Let the dream begin
Let your darker side give in
To the power of
The music that I write
The power of
The music of the night

You alone can make
My song take flight
Help me make the
Music of the night

The Phantom of the Opera



[ANGEL]
In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
And speaks my name
And do I dream again
For now I find
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind



[PHANTOM]
Sing once again with me
A strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet



And though you turn from me
To glance behind
The phantom of the opera is
There inside your mind.



Angel: Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
Phantom: It's me they hear



Both: Your spirit and my voice
In one combined
The phantom of the opera is
There inside my mind



Phantom: In all your fantasies,
You always knew
That man and mystery
Angel: Were both in you



Both: And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind

Angel: Beware
The phantom of the opera




Phantom: Sing for me, my Angel of Music

[Animal]

These were my songs for years after I lost my voice.

NINE INCH NAILS - THE BECOMING

I beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me
I'm stuck in this dream it's changing me I am becoming



the me that you know had some second thoughts
he's covered with scabs and he is broken and sore
the me that you know doesn't come around much
that part of me isn't here anymore



all pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry
drowns out all I hear there's no escape from this my new consciousness



that me that you know used to have feelings
but the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay



the me that you know is now made up of wires
and even when I'm right with you I'm so far away

TOOL - SOBER

There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me



Waiting like the stalking butler
Whom upon the finger rests
Murder now the path called "must we"
Just because the Son has come

Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but what's past and done?
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but what's past and done?

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well

I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down



Mother Mary, won't you whisper
Something but what's past and done?
Mother Mary, won't you whisper
Something but what's past and done?

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave



Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over

I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want

These are the two songs we played at crucial moments during the wedding. I imagine myself as the person singing, while the "Angel" I'm singing to is Daeva . How desperately I wish I could have covered these songs and performed them for my soulmate on our wedding night

These songs turn me on immensely. I can't even listen to them without feeling the heavens and hells we explore together...

Beyond that, I relate to the portrayal of a predator seducing my prey, unraveling his soul and burning through the veil with my fire while his beauty arouses me to catharsis, and back to innocence.

DANZIG - I'M THE ONE

I was born in the dirt
I never had no home
And the places I've lived
You don't wanna know
But if you wanna hear evil
Just come a little bit close



I was a snake-eyed boy
And at the age of five
I made love to the howl of the wolves
With a dark haired girl
So if you wanna hear evil
Come a little bit close

She whispered in my ear
Little boy you the one
Set the world to rights
Make it tremble in fear
Do it one more time
'Cause you the one, you're the one



You're the one, you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
Yea, you're the one
Little boy, you're the one
Do it one more time

She said the path you walk
Gonn' be hard one to tread
'Cause the night is your only love
Lots of girls gonn' be hurt
Said it's part of your fate
'Cause you're the one, you're the one

And now I know my place
In this life I ride
And I know the things I feel
A burning deep inside
So if you want to meet evil
I'm the one, I'm the one



I'm the one, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one
Yea, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one
Do it one more time





TEA PARTY - LUXURIA

There's a secret I've learned
So many lives hold their lessons in turn
Just like a fire consumes what it burns
My desire for her is strong

She comes like a wave
When she dances beneath me she says
If I would only just taste her tonight
Then my fight with the night would be over



And the light seems to bend
When this darkness descends
On my soul
Is it strange I can see
Through the veil
When I loose all control



Show me
When this darkness descends
Please show me
When this darkness descends
Luxuria

Behind what she veils
Its just ten steps to her treasure and grail
I'm now convinced I can't fall and I can't fail
Because my love for her is strong



And the light seems to bend
When this darkness descends
On my soul
Is it strange I can see
Through the veil
When I loose all control



Show me
When this darkness descends
Please show me
When this darkness descends
Luxuria

Open the door
Please open the door
I need to see more



Show me
When this darkness descends
Please show me
When this darkness descends
Luxuria

When this darkness descends
Please show me
When this darkness descends
Please show me
When this darkness descends
When this darkness descends
Luxuria

Open the door
Please open the door
Please open the door
I need to see more

[Daeva]

My forum name, it can mean "disagreeable god." Way back when, I went by "Boogie Man." Some things never change.

Name thy god, Daeva, and BLEED.
Cut me and I bleed.

"Bleed The Freak"

SPOILER
My cup runneth over
Like blood from a stone

These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me

When the pig runs slower
Let the arrow fly
When the sin lies bolder
I'll pluck out thine eye

These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me

If you scorn my lover
Satan got your thigh
If you steal in hunger
I will kick you when you try

These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me

"All these things that you've done for me,
Have left me so... FUCKING TIRED
I'm not saying that you haven't done a lot of good,
But if there's one thing you can do,
You can BLEED FOR ME, BLEED FOR ME"

These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me

These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me

I grew up listening to an old Queen CD on repeat. The 'big boys' - I was a child in the 90's - were a far-away phenomenon. But this song.. It's magical.
Choose life.

"Underworld - Born Slippy (Nuxx)"

SPOILER
Drive boy, dog boy, dirty, numb angel boy
In the doorway boy, she was a lipstick boy
She was a beautiful boy and tears boy
And all in your inner space boy

You had chemicals boy and steel boy
You had chemicals boy, I've grown so close to you
Boy and you just groan boy
She said, "Come over, come over", she smiled at you boy

Drive boy, dog boy, dirty, numb angel boy
In the doorway boy, she was a lipstick boy
She was a beautiful boy and tears boy
And all in your inner space boy

You had chemicals boy and steel boy
You had chemicals boy, I've grown so close to you
Boy and you just groan boy
She said, "Come over, come over", she smiled at you boy

Let your feelings lift, boy, but never your mask boy
Random blonde boy, high density
Random blonde boy, blonde country
Blonde high density

You are my drug boy, you're real boy
Speak to me and boy, dog dirty numb cracking boy
You get wet boy, big, big time boy, acid bear boy
And babes and babes and babes and babes and babes

And remembering nothing boy, when you like my tin horn boy
And get wet like an angel, derail

You got a velvet mouth, you're so succulent
And beautiful shimmering and dirty wonderful
And hot times on your telephone line
You got to never land on your telephone and in walks an angel

And look at me, your mum squatting pissed in a tube hole
At Tottenham court road
I just come out of the ship
Talking to the most blonde I ever met

Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager"
Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager"
Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager"
Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager"

Shouting "Mega, mega white thing, mega, mega
White thing, mega, mega white thing, mega, mega"
Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager
Mega, mega white thing, mega, mega white thing"

So many things to see and do in the tube hole true blonde
Going back to Romford, mega, mega, mega
Going back to Romford, hi mum, are you having fun?
And now are you on your way to a new tension and headache?

My teenage life. I was in a dark place. So I Chained Alice... and Alice Chained me.

"Nutshell"

SPOILER
We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home

Oooh...Oooh...
Oooh...Oooh...

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead

Oooh...Oooh...
Oooh...Oooh...

Hope was spilling from me; but now, at least, I had proof of its existence.

"I Appear Missing"

SPOILER
Calling all comas
Prisoner on the loose
Description:
A spitting image of me
Except for the heart-shaped hole where the hope runs out

Shock me awake
Tear me apart
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown
Prison of sleep
Deeper down
The rabbit hole never to be found... again

Where are you hiding, my love?
Cast off like a stone
Feelings raw and exposed when I'm out of control
Pieces were stolen from me
Or dare I say, given away?
Watching the water give in
As I go down the drain
I appear missing now

I go missing
No longer exist
One day, I hope
I'm someone you'd miss

Shock me awake
Tear me apart
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown
Deeper I sleep
Further down
The rabbit hole never to be found
It's only falling in love
Because you hit the ground

Dancing on wire
Both ends are on fire
Cut me loose
Nowhere to run, no more room to pretend
Wandering along the road in the summer night

I go missing
No longer exist
One day, I hope
I'm someone you'd miss

Shock me awake
Tear me apart
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown
Deeper I sleep
Further down
The rabbit hole never to be found

Confide
With my toes on the edge it's such a lovely view
Don't cry
I never loved anything until I loved you
Inside
I'm over the edge. What can I do?
But shine
I haven't a thing unless I have you

Confide
With my toes on the edge it's such a lovely view
Don't cry
I never loved anything until I loved you
Inside
I'm over the edge. What can I do?
But shine

I've fallen through


***.***.***

I wonder now, can I ever forgive myself? Can I even be lost?

"The Unforgiven III"

SPOILER
How could he know this new dawn's light
Would change his life forever?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure

Was he the one causing pain
With his careless dreaming?
Been afraid, always afraid
Of the things he's feeling
He could just be gone
He would just sail on
He'll just sail on

How can I be lost
If I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?

These days drift on inside a fog
It's thick and suffocating
This seeking life outside its hell
Inside intoxicating
He's run aground like his life
Water much too shallow
Slipping fast down with his ship
Fading in the shadows now

A castaway
They've all gone away
They've gone away

How can I be lost
If I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?

Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me
Why can't I forgive me?

Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure
How could he know this new dawn's light
Would change his life forever

How can I be lost
If I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
So how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?
