Red - Confession (What's inside my head)

I feel fine
And I can't smile
But I feel the anger coming
Its underneath
I don't know why
It's always overflowing
It's a constant fight
Deep inside
And I wanna forget it

I confess I'm always afraid always ashamed
Of what's inside me
I confess I'm always afraid always ashamed
Of what's inside my head

And I can't breath
And I still feel
But not the way I want to
I'm on the edge I don't' know how
I can escape this nightmare

I confess I'm always afraid always ashamed
Of what's inside me
I confess I'm always afraid, always ashamed
Of what's inside my head
What's inside my head

Wasting away is part of my instinct
I'll runaway, everything I hate
Take this away, help me escape
Take this away
I confess,
Innocence!
Innocence!
Innocence!

Mad World by Gary Jules




lyrics to Mad world by Gary Jules

"Mad World"


All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world, mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world, mad world

Enlarging your world
Mad world

I'm Not Like Everybody Else, by The Kinks

Owner of a lonely heart, by Yes. It's an old song but still played on pop radio where I'm from.....it always reminds me of us, somehow.

The Unforgiven - Metallica.

New blood joins this earth,
And quickly he's subdued.
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules.

With time the child draws in.
This whipping boy done wrong.
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on.

He's known a vow unto his own,
That never from this day
His will they'll take away.

What I've felt,
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never be.
Never see.
Won't see what might have been.

What I've felt,
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never free.
Never me.
So I dub thee unforgiven.

They dedicate their lives
To running all of his.
He tries to please them all –
This bitter man he is.

Throughout his life the same –
He's battled constantly.
This fight he cannot win –
A tired man they see no longer cares.

The old man then prepares
To die regretfully –
That old man here is me.

What I've felt,
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never be.
Never see.
Won't see what might have been.

What I've felt,
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never free.
Never me.
So I dub thee unforgiven.

[Solo]

What I've felt,
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never be.
Never see.
Won't see what might have been.

What I've felt,
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never free.
Never me.
So I dub thee unforgiven.

Never free.
Never me.
So I dub thee unforgiven.

You labelled me,
I'll label you.
So I dub thee unforgiven.

Never free.
Never me.
So I dub thee unforgiven.

You labelled me,
I'll label you.
So I dub thee unforgiven.

Never free.
Never me.
So I dub thee unforgiven.

Lately, I've loved listening to the songs Let it Go from Frozen and Brave by Sara Barreilles. When I think about those songs in the context of my autism, they make me happy!

The Goo-Goo Dolls...IRIS..." and I don't want the world to see me, because I don't think that they'd understand"

OR Supertramp "Hide in your Shell"

OR... Depeche Mode, "People are People so why should it be, you and I should get along so awfully"

When I was a kid and even now in some ways, I really empathized with Disney's The Little Mermaid. Especially the "Part of Your World" song. She was one of the few female characters I connected with.

I second "Let It Go" from Frozen. I really, really relate to Elsa.

"I See the Light" from Tangled except for the last part about "now that I see you."

"Defying Gravity" from Wicked

"Dancing with Myself"

"Never Once" by One Sonic Society

"Say" by John Mayer

Day after day I'm more confused...
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n roll
And DRIFT AWAY...

Peter Gabriel - My body is a cage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTZQ2IB_x7c



My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

I'm standing on a stage
Of fear and self doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key

I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head

I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
My body is a...

My body is a cage
We take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten
That don't mean you're forgiven

I'm living in an age
That screams my name at night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight

I'm living in an age
They laugh when I'm dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key

Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free

Set my spirit free
Set my body free

IMHO this song is by far the best representation of Theory of Mind. Beautiful song also

Pain Redefined - Disturbed

"Pain Redefined"

Fading, falling, lost in forever
Will I find a way to keep it together?
Am I strong enough to last through the weather in the hurricane of my life?
Can it be a conscious decision?
That I look for ways to alter my vision?
Am I speeding towards another collision in the alleyways of my life?

Memories don't lie
You know better than
Memories don't lie
You know better than
Memories don't lie
You know better than
Those who have fallen in
Memories don't lie
You know better than
Memories don't lie
You know better than
Memories don't lie
You know better than
Those who have fallen in

Please believe me
That my eyes deceive me
Don't stand me up
Just leave me
I have fallen again
This is the end
Pain redefined

Shaking, burning up with the fever
In the realm of pain, I am the deceiver
Now I lie to myself, so I can believe her
As she disassembles my life
I cannot dispel the illusion
All my hopes and dreams are drowned by confusion
Can I find a way to make a solution that will reconfigure my life?

Memories don't lie
You know better than
Memories don't lie
You know better than
Memories don't lie
You know better than
Those who have fallen in
Memories don't lie
You know better than
Memories don't lie
You know better than
Memories don't lie
You know better than
Those who have fallen in

Please believe me
That my ears deceive me
Don't stand me up
Just leave me
I have fallen again
This is the end
Pain redefined

And I know that stillness shatters
We have all been frightened by
The sound of footsteps on the pavement of our lives
I stand and fight
I'm not afraid to die
Elochai, bury me tonight

Please believe me
That the world deceives me
Don't stand me up
Just leave me
I have fallen again
This is the end
Pain redefined

All Beauty Destroyed - Aesthetic Perfection

And everyone is so kind,
With the lies that they tell themselves,
'Cause everyone is so blind,
To the truth that they're ugly inside,
When the mirror's laughing,
Time takes over,
You should know,
We're rotting away.

There's no,
Nothing left for me,
When all beauty's destroyed,
There's no,
Nothing left to see,
Once all beauty's destroyed.

And everyone is so torn,
Between truth and a false veneer,
Well no one wants to be alone,
In the wake of their faults and fears,
If you don't stop scratching,
Wounds reopen,
As we slowly start to decay.

Lie for you,
Die for you,
Beg for you,
Bleed for you.

It's all you want,
It's all you need.

This song is brand new by one of my favorite current music acts


OMG maybe the best "Autistic" song yet

"You're Only Human (Second Wind)" - Billy Joel

You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good
You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood
It's alright, it's alright
Sometimes that's what it takes
You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes

You better believe there will be times in your life
When you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool
So take it from me you'll learn more from you accidents
Than anything you could ever learn at school

Don't forget your second wind
Sooner or later you'll get your second wind
It's not always easy to be living in this world of pain
You're gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again
It's alright, it's alright

Though you feel your heart break
You're only human, your gonna have to deal with heartache
Just like a boxer in a title fight
You got to walk in that ring all alone
You're not the only one who's made mistakes
But they're the only things that you can truly call your own

Don't forget your second wind
Wait in your corner until that breeze blows in

You've been keeping to yourself these days
Cause you're thinking everything's gone wrong
Sometimes you just want to lay down and die
That emotion can be so strong
But hold on
Till that old second wind comes along

You probably don't want to hear advice from someone else
But I wouldn't be telling you if I hadn't been there myself
It's alright, it's alright
Sometimes that's all it takes
We're only human
We're supposed to make mistakes
But I survived all those long lonely days
When it seemed I did not have a friend
Cause all I needed was a little faith
So I could catch my breath and face the world again
Don't forget your second wind
Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in
Don't forget your second wind
Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in
