Second time I hear about it being referred to that way on WP. Why?

Because to me it talks about how others may assume we feel or think one thing and treat us that way when in reality we really feel another way and either don't or can't explain it.

No one knows what it's like

To be the bad man

To be the sad man

Behind blue eyes

(You misread my motivations, you don't know how sad I really am, and I am lonely and nobody really cares about that, they just label me instead)



No one knows what it's like

To be hated

To be fated

To telling only lies

(People don't really like me, they make fun of me, they push me around, for people to have anything to do with me I have to pretend to be somebody and something that I am not)



But my dreams

They aren't as empty

As my conscience seems to be

(There is more to me than you think there is, you only judge me on first impressions and your judgement of me is wrong)



I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free


(I spend most of my time alone, when I would rather be with other people but they don't want anything to do with me. Nobody cares about me and they show it in many ways. The only thing I can daydream about is how one day all of those people will get what's coming to them. I do this while sitting there watching all of you with your boyfriends and girlfriends and I wish I could do something to make you feel like I do, but it would backfire and I would pay the price for it, so I just stay angry)



No one knows what it's like

To feel these feelings

Like I do

And I blame you


(I have nothing in life, and you wouldn't know how that feels if it bit you on the *ss. None of you will even give me a chance to fit in. You wont give me a chance to be out there with everybody else. It's the way you judge me because I'm not exactly like you and the fact that you won't give me a chance to prove that I'm not so wierd or horrible that is causing all my pain and lonliness but you wouldn't understand that)



No one bites back as hard

On their anger

None of my pain and woe

Can show through

(I'm so very angry at the world, I hate all of you and I want to hurt you, and I want to cry. I don't let it show and it takes everything I have to hold it inside until I'm alone where I can punch the wall or cry)


But my dreams

They aren't as empty

As my conscience seems to be



I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free


(See above)



When my fist clenches, crack it open

Before I use it and lose my cool

When I smile, tell me some bad news

Before I laugh and act like a fool


(I want to react to things, and join in and do what you do, and be like you, but I'll just screw it up. I have to sit there and just imagine myself joining in and being included. I know I'll mess it up so I'll just leave before I tell you how I really feel or do something stupid and be made fun of)


If I swallow anything evil

Put your finger down my throat

If I shiver, please give me a blanket

Keep me warm, let me wear your coat


(I want somebody to just care about me enough to take an interest and step in and show me that they care. I want to mean something to somebody so that they make an effort for me)




No one knows what it's like

To be the bad man

To be the sad man

Behind blue eyes

(see above)


Thats the lyrics and my take on how it applies to how some of us feel at times is in the parentheses. The "you" that I typed in my commentary is the collective "you"

Thank you very much!

There's a song by a guy called Scott James that is specifically about living with Asperger's. Think it's called "Through My Eyes".

I love this one:

Short, sweet, and to the point.

Enya - may it be

Enya - now we are free

Bette Medler- Wings beneath your wings

Beyonce - Ave Maria

Queens of the stone age, Everybody knows that you're insane

You wanna know, why you feel so hollow

Because you are

You're missing out, well if you say so

Oh you're missing out

Everybody knows that you're insane

You wanna know, just how long you can hide from

What you are now

not very long

I have been lost, down every road I've followed

Out in the dark

On my way home

Everybody knows that you're insane

And I feel nothing

Am I better yet?

And I feel nothing

Am I better yet?

And I feel nothing

I'm not better yet

And I feel nothing

I'm not better

Everybody knows that you're insane.


Those last few verses always struck a particular note with me, as much of the time I feel nothing.and I truley have always been lost.
