"It's like I can't see anything, nothing but you..."

[Jules]

"It's like you're a drug / it's like you're a demon I can't face down / it's like I'm stuck / it's like I'm running from you all the time / and I know I let / you have all the power / it's like the only company I seek / is misery all around / it's like you're a leach / sucking the life from me / it's like I can't breathe / without you inside of me / and I know I let you / have all the power / and I realise I'm never gonna / quit you over time...

It's like I can't breathe / it's like I can't see anything / nothing but you / I'm addicted to you / it's like I can't think / without you interrupting me / in my thoughts / in my dreams / you've taken over me / it's like I'm not me / it's like I'm not me.

It's like I'm lost / it's like I'm giving up slowly / it's like you're a ghost / that's haunting me / leave me alone / and I know these voices in / my head are mine alone / and I know I'll never change my ways / if I don't give up you now.

I'm hooked on you, I need a fix, I can't take it, just one more hit, I promise I can deal with it. I'll handle it, quit it, just one more time, then that's it, just a little bit more to get me through this.

It's like I can't breathe / it's like I can't see anything / nothing but you / I'm addicted to you / it's like I can't think / without you interrupting me / in my thoughts / in my dreams / you've taken over me / it's like I'm not me / it's like I'm not me."

(Kelly Clarkson - Addicted)

[Wish Upon A Wish]

Found another good song yesterday that describes MD: To Myself I Turned- Lacuna Coil

I was born in another world
strictly connected to a piece of my mind
nothing more than a little land
it is a small cradle where I'm a kid
I am the princess in there,
nothing wrong in my fantasy world

I am the king, the nation,
no dictators or religions
no laws laid down for me
I have my own liberty inside of me
Nothing to lose, I want to live here

As you see I'm the only survivor in this land(2x)

When did I hear this wind before
change like this to a deeper roar?
I'm starting to bleed another way
I just need some time to complete myself

these spotlights are here again
I can't see anything, I'm blind
this nature of time and space
makes me sick of the situation

I couldn't know if I...
if I will be strong enough for this
I have to choose, do I want to live here?

As you see I'm the only survivor in this land (x4)

I couldn't know if I...
if I will be strong enough for this
I have to choose, do I want to live here?

As you see I'm the only survivor in this land (x4)

Thanks for sharing everyone! (: I guess when songs like these are out there it reminds us that we're all just human, and feel all sorts of things for all sorts of reasons. I am and we are, normal. Good to know! (;

[Wish Upon A Wish]

A few people have already mentioned Imaginary by Evanescence.

There was also another song I saw today, though I only skimmed through the lyrics, so I don't remember exactly how accurately it'd describe MD. It was Realm of Fantasy by Visions of Atlantis

 

[Skylar Grey]

This is so weird, i was JUST listening to this song on my ipod and thinking of how much it related to MD. When you really think about it, i think a lot of songs can be related to MD!

I will have to get Addicted - it says it all.

I had to post the other song on here. It is Unwell by Matchbox 20.

All day 
Staring at the ceiling 
Making friends with shadows on my wall 
All night 
Hearing voices telling me 
That I should get some sleep 
Because tomorrow might be good for something 
Hold on 
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a 
Breakdown 
I don't know why 
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell 
I know, right now you can't tell 
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see 
A different side of me 
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired 
I know, right now you don't care 
But soon enough you're gonna think of me 
And how I used to be 
Me 
Talking to myself in public 
Dodging glances on the train 
I know 
I know they've all been talking 'bout me 
I can hear them whisper 
And it makes me think there must be something wrong 
With me 
Out of all the hours thinking 
Somehow 
I've lost my mind 
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell 
I know, right now you can't tell 
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see 
A different side of me 
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired 
I know right now you don't care 
But soon enough you're gonna think of me 
And how I used to be 
I been talking in my sleep 
Pretty soon they'll come to get me 
Yeah, they're taking me away 
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell 
I know, right now you can't tell 
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see 
A different side of me 
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired 
I know, right now you don't care 
But soon enough you're gonna think of me 
And how I used to be 
Hey, how I used to be 
How I used to be, yeah 
Well I'm just a little unwell 
How I used to be 
How I used to be

Hmm interesting. I have two songs that I think describes MD for me. The first one is Paradise by Coldplay.

When she was just a girl 
She expected the world 
But it flew away from her reach so 
She ran away in her sleep 
And dreamed of 
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise 
Every time she closed her eyes 

When she was just a girl 
She expected the world 
But it flew away from her reach 
And the bullets catch in her teeth 
Life goes on, it gets so heavy 
The wheel breaks the butterfly 
Every tear a waterfall 
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes 
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly 
And dreams of 
Para-para-paradise 
Para-para-paradise 
Para-para-paradise 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh 
She'd dream of 
Para-para-paradise 
Para-para-paradise 
Para-para-paradise 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh 

La-la-la-la-la-la-la 
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la 
And so lying underneath those stormy skies 
She'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise" 

This could be 
Para-para-paradise 
Para-para-paradise 
This could be 
Para-para-paradise 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh 
This could be 
Para-para-paradise 
Para-para-paradise 
This could be 
Para-para-paradise 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
And dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly
And dreams of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
She'd dream of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"

This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh

The other one is Unwell by Matchbox 20

this is great depiction of MD.

@ Emilia I LOVE that song by Savage Garden.. not many people know it bc it wasn't played on the radio like the others.

[rainydaydreams]

I have often given allot of thought lyrics like these and wondered, do they know this secret of mine? I wondered if everyone knew I wondered if if everyone did it. Could people read my mind, was I talking out loud.
