Off topic but Three Dog Night has always been an underappreciated act. The "oldies" stations rarely play them and if they do it's only "Joy To The World". Yet from '69 through '75 they had 21 consectutive top 40 singles which were better then most of the songs that the "greatest hits" stations play over and over.

Growing up being a bit different and not knowing why, this song became my theme song. Don't know if it is an "Aspie" song per se but and I'm not sure what Dee Snider was writing about, but it got me through a lot of the hard times growing up. Still in my top 3 all time...



I am, I'm me

Who are you to look down
At what I believe?
I'm on to your thinking
And how you deceive

Well, you can't abuse me
I won't stand no more
Yes, I know the reasons
Yes, I know the score

I am and I'll be
I will, you'll see
I am and I'll be
I am, I'm me

How I tried to please you
Live the way you said
Do the things that you do
Like the living dead

Then the truth it hit me
Got me off my knees
It's my life I'm living
I'll live as I please

I am and I'll be
I will, you'll see
I am and I'll be
I am, I'm me

Now's the time to stand tall
Start your life anew
Freedom lies in your heart
Now's the time for you

I am and I'll be
I will, you'll see
I am and I'll be
I am, I'm me

Can't you see? Can't you see?
I'm me, I'm me, me, me, me, me
I am, I'm me
I am, I'm me

Can't you see? Can't you see?
I'm me, I'm me, I'm me
I am, I'm me
I am, I'm me

Can't you see that I'm me?
I'm me, I'm me, look at me
I am, I'm me
I am, I'm me

I interpret this one as the ultimate aspergers meltdown song, with the build up and all. A lot of people prolly won't like this song, it's loud and thrashy.

Because I'm a creep and a weirdo and I don't belong.

There's a great song by Dream Theater (one of my all time favourite bands) called 'Solitary Shell'. Specifically, it's written about people with autism...but a lot of the lyrics can come across as being related to AS as well.


Love me some Dream Theater. I can add two more:

MISUNDERSTOOD
"How can I feel abandoned, even when the world surrounds me?
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me?
How can I know so many, never really knowing anyone?
If I seem superhuman, I have been misunderstood."


THESE WALLS
"Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back

It's not too late for me
To keep from sinking further
I'm trying to find my way out
Tear down these walls for me now"

Seether - Fake it

Just fake it if you're out of direction
Fake it if you don't belong here
Fake it if you feel like infection
Whoa, you're such a f*****g hypocrite

You should know that the lies won't hide your flaws
No sense in hiding all of yours
You gave up on your dreams along the way, yeah
