“The carousel is spinning fast
better enjoy while it lasts
Every moment is like gold
you’ll remember when you’re old
And the meaning of this life
is to live and is to die
Make the best out of your dreams
they’re the world where you are free
All the sorrow and the pain
will be washed away by rain
An eternal joy will come
it can be found by everyone
Though the end is drawing near
I’m not feeling any fear
I have found the truth inside
after all the tears I’ve cried”
And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night

One that always stuck with me was “I cannot hold on, I will not let go”. Breaking benjamin had alot growing up I really liked, but I guess the feeling of helplessness that comes with depression. Sometimes you just want to go to sleep and not wake up. Refusing to let the intrusive thoughts win and keep moving on was a struggle for awhile.
You’re gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that’s left is a ghost of you
Now we’re torn, torn, torn apart
There’s nothing we can do
Just let me go, we’ll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around
I’ll see you when I fall asleep
Forgotten by Plot in You. This is for my friends who put needles in their veins who society erased, hope their children all escape

Right before he pulled the trigger and ended her life He thought about the cocaine with the platinum and ice And he felt strong standin’ along with his new brothers Cocked the gat to her head and pulled back the shirt cover But what he saw made him start to cringe and stutter ‘Cause he was starin’ into the eyes of his own mother She looked back at him and cried ’cause he had forsaken her She cried more painfully than when they were rapin’ her
“And now I’m reaching out with every note I sing
And I hope it gets to you on some Pacific wind
Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear
Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here”
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
“Hold me darling, just a little while”
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love, that I knew I had missed
And now she’s gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life that night
Last Kiss (cover)- Pearl Jam
I never thought I’d die alone
Another six months, I’ll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You’ll never step foot in my room again
You’ll close it off, board it up
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell Mom this is not her fault
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow (Hi-ha)
>You say the ocean’s rising like I give a shit You say the whole world’s ending, honey, it already did You’re not gonna slow it, Heaven knows you tried Got it? Good, now get inside
It hit me hard one year into the pandemic and while I was struggling with another deep, dark dive into my depression.
Now the valley cried with anger,
“Mount your horses! Draw your sword!”
And they killed the mountain-people,
So they won their just reward.
Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it…
“Peace on Earth” was all it said
But I’m not your son, you’re not my father
We’re just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you’re sleeping I’ll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won’t you just close your eyes?
Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
To chase the monsters away
Monsters- james blunt.
And the song last letter by Witt Lowry just wrecks me for the similarities in my life.
“It could all be so easy, but you’d rather make it hard.” (Ex-Factor)
“It comes so easy when you get to the part where you’re breaking my heart.” (Take a Bow)
“I can’t believe that you can fill my heart. And I can’t believe you let me fall so hard. Stop playin’. How could you let it go this far if you had doubts that I wasn’t the one? You said that you’re the type to take it slow. You said ‘Before I stop, I’ll let you know.’ Stop playin.’ Before you let me see you with her. You could’ve told me a change was gonna come.” (Is She the Reason)
“There were days where all I thought about was how you chewed me up and spit me out.” (Into the Night)
“Sometimes our own hearts rewrite these histories to keep themselves from breaking.” (Tigers)

“I had a dream I was your hero. Damn, I wish I was your lover.” (Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover)
“Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart? Well you can try sleeping in my bed.” (Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart)
“There’s no shame in letting go. Feels the same to hold on. Maybe it’s stupid. I know myself, but I’m hoping. ‘Cause I want nothing else. Don’t wanna change. You don’t wanna change what you do to me.” (Holding On)
Young mother down at Smithfield, 5 AM, looking for food for her kids. In her arms she holds three cold babies and the first word that they learned was please.
Keith Whitley and Lorrie Morgan were married country stars. Keith was an alcoholic. Lorrie went out of town leaving Keith alone with booze. He was found dead with a .47 blood alcohol level. He was only 34.
Those lyrics are haunting because of how much Keith relied on Lorrie to keep him safe from his addiction. She worried every time she left, and that last time, she was right.
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh-so-tight
Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then
She pulls me close
Says that she loves me
That she wishes to still be around
On the day that I marry
Tightly she holds
But the plan still unfolds
I’m cutting the cord from the mother
Who gave me everything
“I lost my wife and little boy
When someone crossed that yellow line
The day we laid ’em in the ground
Is the day I lost my mind
Right now I’m down to holdin’
This little cardboard sign”
And I watched you begin to fade when I was eighteen
I swore that I would be okay
You told me that your biggest fear was waking up each day
“Smooth Jazz” by Sorority Noise. I lost a friend to suicide my junior year of highschool. This song will always remind me of him, and I listen to it to remember him. Rest easy Alex, you were always so kind to me no matter what. Acting out Romeo and Mercutio with you in English class will forever be a highlight of my life.
Cause I threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind the
eyes of a fallen angel,
eyes of a tragedy,
Oh well…
Oh well…
Apparently nothing.
Nothing at all.
“He said it’s all in your head, and I said, so is everything, but he didn’t get it. I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy.” – Fiona Apple
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can’t find one good thing to say
And I’d hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You’d stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
The lump in my throat grew bigger
With every question that she asked
Until I felt the tears run down my face
And I told her that Alyssa wouldn’t be at school today
‘Cause she doesn’t lie in the classroom
She doesn’t lie anymore at school
Alyssa lies with Jesus
Because there’s nothin’ anyone would do
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger.
He finally drank away her memory. They buried him beneath the willows, and the angels sing a whisky lullaby
Please, take this
And run far away, far away from me
I am tainted
And happiness and peace of mind were never meant for me
All these pieces and promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my nothing
You meant everything, everything to me
And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
Never understood this when I was young. Now the older I get, the harder this hits. Time, by Pink Floyd.
The windscreen wipers are a-beatin’ in time
The song they sing is a part of my mind
And I can’t believe it’s a-really happenin’ to me
Oh, but I’m over the edge and down the mountain side
I know they’ll tell about the night I died
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin’ me
The evening sun, touched gently on, the eyes of Lucy Jordan…….and she bowed and curtseyed to the man, who bowed and offered her his hand….. Gives me goosebumps .
It’s sad, so sad. What a sad, sad situation, and it’s getting more and more absurd. It’s sad, so sad. Why can’t we talk it over? Well, it seems to me that sorry seems to be the hardest word.
A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant’s rings make way for other toys
One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff, that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave
So Puff, that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave
They say ‘good bye’ Tomorrow, Wendy, is going to die,
They say ‘good bye’ Tomorrow, Wendy, is going to die,
Underneath the chilly gray November sky
We can make believe that Kennedy is still alive and
Were shooting for the moon and smiling Jackie’s driving by …
Jerimiah was a bullfrog. The entire song. Now hear me out. My dad passed away suddenly when I was 14. That was his favorite song. We played it at his funeral. It was my first day back to school after he died. I walked into my first class, and that was the song that was playing on the radio. Can’t listen to it the same
I couldn’t help but ask for you to say it all again.
I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen.
I’d give anything to hear you say it one more time,
that the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes
“You raped me in the same bed
Your daughter was born in”
-Fiona Apple, For Her
For Her is always a punch to the gut. Sometimes it feels good to scream this part with her. Sometimes it makes me want to shrivel up and cry. Absolutely devastating
“And I tried all my days
To love you just the way you hoped I might,
But I’m leaving here tonight.
I can’t remember yesterday
I tried, if I said I could I lied.”
“She comes back to tell me she’s gone
As if I didn’t know that
As if I didn’t know my own bed
As if I’d never noticed the way she brushed her hair from her forehead
And she said, “Losing love is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you’re blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow” – Graceland, Paul Simon
Shadows are falling and I’m running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for a while
If I leave you, it doesn’t mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for a while
When you get up in the morning, and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for a while
There’s a train leaving nightly called “When all is said and done”
Keep me in your heart for a while

They’d never spent a night apart,
For sixty years, she heard him snore.
Now they’re in a hospital,
In separate beds on different floors.

Don’t worry about me and these green eyes
Mama, just know that I love you (I love you)

“God loves you, but not enough to save you”
Have you ever seen a robin weep
When leaves begin to die
That means he’s lost the will to live
I’m so lonesome I could cry

Every moment is like gold

All the sorrow and the pain

Though the end is drawing near
I’m not feeling any fear

He stopped loving her today
Gets me every time.
And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
“Whyd you have to touch so many lives and just leave us?”
Hey, you called me up again
Just to break me like a promise
So casually cruel
In the name of being honest
I’m a crumbled up piece of paper lying there
Because I remember it all too well
Vibrations good like Sunkist. Many wanna know who done this.
Try ELO’s “Kuiama”, if you have a spare 11 minutes.
Well I’ve been here all night
And I’m watching you
breathe in and breathe out
Is it really you, or just a machine
that’s giving you life?
And it’s making it seem
that there could be hope

I have torn everyone who reached out for me.

And I’ve tried having faith but I’ll rot like a dog

And why wait another day
when a day won’t change a thing

And they’ll kiss as if they know

I don’t know why, but this just slays me every.single.time:
Just cause you’re right, it don’t mean I’m wrong…
Never is a promise and I can’t afford a lie.
Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
And I would give everything I own
I’d give up my life, my heart, my home….
“Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops”
I never thought I could act this way
And I’ve got to say that I just don’t get it
I don’t know where we went wrong
But the feeling’s gone and I just can’t get it back
How I wish, how I wish you were here
Paralyzed by NF. The whole song.
Oh, it’s hard to find a place to hide when you’re running from what’s inside, no matter where you go there you are
So, tonight I’ll go to war with me cause im my own worst enemy and I don’t wanna fight anymore
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh-so-tight
Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then

eyes of a fallen angel,
eyes of a tragedy,
Oh well…
Oh well…
Apparently nothing.
Nothing at all.
Dreams can be so cruel sometimes
I swear I kissed your crying eyes
A stillborn was still born
I am a father
Amend, amend, amend, amend
Baby shoes for sale, never worn
I don’t want to die but I ain’t keen on living either. Feel by Robbie Williams
Summer has come and passed, the innocent can never last, wake me up when September ends 😭😭😭
“He said it’s all in your head, and I said, so is everything, but he didn’t get it. I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy.” – Fiona Apple
Would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven?
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can’t find one good thing to say
And I’d hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You’d stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
Does anyone know where the love of god goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours.
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
The lump in my throat grew bigger
With every question that she asked
Until I felt the tears run down my face
And I told her that Alyssa wouldn’t be at school today
‘Cause she doesn’t lie in the classroom
She doesn’t lie anymore at school
Alyssa lies with Jesus
Because there’s nothin’ anyone would do
Alyssa Lies – Jason Michael Carroll
There’s a hole in Daddy’s arm where all the money goes
Jesus Christ died for nothing, I suppose
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger.
He finally drank away her memory. They buried him beneath the willows, and the angels sing a whisky lullaby
Whiskey lullaby, Brad Paisley and Alison Krause
“I still believed in my dreams”
Like a Rock- Bob Seger
It really hits once you become middle aged etc
I tried so hard, and got so far
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
Please, take this
And run far away, far away from me
I am tainted
And happiness and peace of mind were never meant for me
All these pieces and promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my nothing
You meant everything, everything to me
Nine Inch Nails – “And All that Could Have Been”
And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
Never understood this when I was young. Now the older I get, the harder this hits. Time, by Pink Floyd.
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I bowed my head and I cried
Wish you were here. My husband died 11 years ago from cancer and I miss him every day. But they’re my favorite band.
The windscreen wipers are a-beatin’ in time
The song they sing is a part of my mind
And I can’t believe it’s a-really happenin’ to me
Oh, but I’m over the edge and down the mountain side
I know they’ll tell about the night I died
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin’ me
The evening sun, touched gently on, the eyes of Lucy Jordan…….and she bowed and curtseyed to the man, who bowed and offered her his hand….. Gives me goosebumps .
I’ve been living so long with these pictures of you that I almost believe that they’re real.
The Johnny Cash version of Hurt. The whole thing.
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life
I know you’ll be a star
In somebody else’s sky
But why
Why
Why can’t it be
Why can’t it be mine
-Black. Pearl Jam.
It was me and a gun/
And a man on my back/
But I haven’t seen Barbados/
So I must get out of this
-Tori Amos, “Me and a Gun”, which she wrote based on her own rape
Sometimes before it gets better
The darkness gets bigger
The person that you’d take a bullet for is behind the trigger.
“Life Goes on long after the thrill of living is gone”
Mellencamp
Yesterday
It’s sad, so sad. What a sad, sad situation, and it’s getting more and more absurd. It’s sad, so sad. Why can’t we talk it over? Well, it seems to me that sorry seems to be the hardest word.
The entirety of Cut Here by The Cure wrecks me every time
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine, I didn’t think enough
I’m too depressed to go on
You’ll be sorry when I’m gone
-Adam’s Song, Blink 182
Joey, I’m not angry anymore
I’d give anything to hear you say it one more time
That the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes
Saturn Sleeping at Last
I’d trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
“I must be strong, and carry on. Cause I know I don’t belong here in heaven.”
A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant’s rings make way for other toys
One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff, that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave
So Puff, that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave
They say ‘good bye’ Tomorrow, Wendy, is going to die,
They say ‘good bye’ Tomorrow, Wendy, is going to die,
Underneath the chilly gray November sky
We can make believe that Kennedy is still alive and
Were shooting for the moon and smiling Jackie’s driving by …
Tomorrow Wendy
Jerimiah was a bullfrog. The entire song. Now hear me out. My dad passed away suddenly when I was 14. That was his favorite song. We played it at his funeral. It was my first day back to school after he died. I walked into my first class, and that was the song that was playing on the radio. Can’t listen to it the same
I couldn’t help but ask for you to say it all again.
I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen.
I’d give anything to hear you say it one more time,
that the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes
“Saturn” – Sleeping At Last
“You raped me in the same bed
Your daughter was born in”
-Fiona Apple, For Her
For Her is always a punch to the gut. Sometimes it feels good to scream this part with her. Sometimes it makes me want to shrivel up and cry. Absolutely devastating
“And I tried all my days
To love you just the way you hoped I might,
But I’m leaving here tonight.
I can’t remember yesterday
I tried, if I said I could I lied.”
The Counting Crows.
“I’m still angry at my parents for what their parents did to them.”
If you should die before me
Ask if you can bring a friend
Still Remains, Stone Temple Pilots
And I hope when you think of me years down the line, you can’t find one good thing to say
And I hope that if I found the strength to walk out, you’d stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unloveable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
“No Children” by the Mountain Goats
“She comes back to tell me she’s gone
As if I didn’t know that
As if I didn’t know my own bed
As if I’d never noticed the way she brushed her hair from her forehead
And she said, “Losing love is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you’re blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow” – Graceland, Paul Simon
Shadows are falling and I’m running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for a while
If I leave you, it doesn’t mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for a while
When you get up in the morning, and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for a while
There’s a train leaving nightly called “When all is said and done”
Keep me in your heart for a while
– Warren Zevon, “Keep Me in Your Heart”
