marguerite_kruxThe first song that popped into my head is Iris, by the Goo Goo Dolls. The song as a whole is not applicable to me, but the lines:
'And I don't want the world to see me, 'coz I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am...'
Made to be broken. I LOVE that. That about sums up life in general.
Songs that as a whole do apply...I turn to Linkin Park. Because I can empathize with almost every song they write, it's crazy awesome how so many people can read their lives into these lyrics, it means so many different things to so many different people. The ones I best relate to would be:
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes
[Caught in the undertow
/Just caught in the undertow]
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
[Caught in the undertow
/Just caught in the undertow]
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
[Caught in the undertow
/Just caught in the undertow]
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
[Caught in the undertow
/Just caught in the undertow]
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
But I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be

I have a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everybody can see these scars
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So I let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be there 'cause you're all that I've got
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand, I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense
I am what you never want to say, but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
For once just to hear me out
So I let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Hear me out now
You're going to listen to me
Like it or not
Right now
Hear me out now
You're going to listen to me
Like it or not
Right now
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling, I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence, I'm convinced
there's just too much pressure to take
I've felt this way before
So insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence, I'm convinced
there's just too much pressure to take
I've felt this way before
So insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

I watched Beetlejuice over the weekend and I giggle like mad every time I watch that 'Day-o' scene! Wheee!
Side note: you wouldn't believe how many times people have sung this song at me in my lifetime as a pun on my last name. HAHAHA, guys. *eyeroll*
Well, I much prefer it to Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal. The guys at high school used to randomly go, 'Annie, are you okay'? I just looked up the song and it freaks me out. The chick's getting attacked or been murdered or something, right? Yikes. I wanna track down these boys and give them a few whacks over the head now, that was so MEAN of them. *pouts*
New fact I didn't know: a suggested meaning for the lyrics includes a reference to the CPR doll that medics train on, which is apparently called Annie. LMAO. She's called 'the most kissed face in the world'. *dies laughing* My name, it amuses me.
