If anybody's in the mood for some "different" music, something not on a chart somewhere, take a look at Queensryche's album Promised land. Alienation is the overbearing theme, cloaked in circumstances and points of view, it's present. These two songs I've most related to, perhaps others will as well?

Queensryche, off of the album "Promised Land":

7. Dis Con Nec Ted

I've got to do something
about the loathsome
state I'm in.

DiS CoN NeC TeD
DiS CoN NeC TeD
DiS CoN NeC TeD

Everywhere I see decay.
Mechanized and sterilized
visions of replay.
I must release my rage.

Oh...
DiS CoN NeC TeD
I'm...
DiS CoN NeC TeD
feeling so...
DiS CoN NeC TeD

D ow n.........

Maybe all I need
beside my pills
and the surgery
is a new metaphor for reality.

I'm...DiS CoN NeC TeD
feeling so...
DiS CoN NeC TeD
oh...
DiS CoN NeC TeD

- you know -

Same band, album:

2. I Am I

Beating with life you promised life,
security, happiness.
Unfortunate son cornered,
cowering in the pit of
circling panes of glass that
surround and reveal the ever present "It".

"It" is my move, my every look,
interpreting gestures,
informing other
what's undercover and
lurking beneath my mask
of this year's featured model.
Is this too much?
Close your eyes.
Care to look inside? I am I!

What may appear
might easily be explained,
but given the situation
of info saturation,
what you feel can never go away.

Steering perception? I am!
Inviting contradiction? I am!
It's my insistence
you keep your distance
from the glare behind my stare.
So this is the way
the game is played.
You can leave now...
but I think you'll stay. I am I!

Pearl Jam - Jeremy

at home
drawing pictures
of mountain tops
with him on top
lemon yellow sun
arms raised in a V
dead lay in pools of maroon below

daddy didn't give attention
to the fact that mommy didn't care
king jeremy the wicked
ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today

clearly I remember
pickin' on the boy
seemed a harmless little f**k
but we unleashed a lion
gnashed his teeth
and bit the recess lady's breast

how could I forget
he hit me with a surprise left
my jaw left hurtin
dropped wide open
just like the day I heard

daddy didn't give affection
and the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
king Jeremy the wicked
ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
try to forget this...
try to erase this...
from the blackboard...

Never paid close attention to those lyrics until you posted them just now. Can't believe I missed the meaning for so long.

MC Frontalot's song 'It's pitch dark' has some parts which fit the obsessions, I associate with being an Aspie.

Have seen that song used by parents for videos about their autistic kids.

The lyrics of Stone Sour - Through Glass

It's a great song and appropriate, but watching the video I kept trying to figure out how they did that!

If I had to pick an REM track it would have to be The Wrong Child from the Green album.
