"Airplanes" by Eminem (at least his part in the song has a very AS theme)

The closest I can think of right now is "Elijah" by Rich Mullins.

"This life has shown me
how we're mended and how we're torn.
How it's okay to be lonely as long as you're free....

"There's people been friendly
but they'd never be your friend.
Sometimes this has bent me to the ground.
And now that this is all ending,
I want to hear some music once again.
'Cause it's the finest thing
I have ever found."

Maybe "Rachel Delavorias" by Randy Stonehill

Alien, by Atlanta Rhythm Section
I Robot Album, by Alan Parsons
Animals Album, by Pink Floyd
Tom Sawyer, by Rush
Spirit of Radio, by Rush

These songs gave me comfort in my youth and made me feel connected to the world.
Strange now that some of the people involved in the music are considered to have Aspergers now. I always wondered why I couldn't stand to touch things. It took 45 years for me to meet someone else like this. It didn't seem like there were many people like me when I listened to the music, but I know there is now.

i think a certain song relates to a different part of being an aspie

some examples would be:

failing in social situations: ziplock by lit

being alone: im just a kid by simple plan

Not about being aspie, though for me the video & song flow with aspieness (perhaps it has a lot to do with the detail & deciphering of every process in the video), this is still probably my most favourite music video.

"Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who reminds me of my aspie brother. The song makes me sad. I don't know what the song is really supposed to be about, but the line: "no one knows what it's like, to be a sad man" is what makes me think of my brother.

Okay I'm gonna go all out on this post. These are just the songs that relate to me as an aspie (I'm a very DEPRESSED aspie so they might not relate to you so think before you post). Here we go.

Fix You by Coldplay. "When you try your best but you don't succeed, when you get what you want but not what you need, when you feel so tired but you can't sleep... Stuck in reverse. When the tears come streaming down your face, when you lose something you can't replace, when you love someone but it goes to waste. Could it be worse?" Enough said.

The Nobodies by Marilyn Manson. "We are the nobodies. We wanna be somebodies. When we're dead, they'll know just who we are." I know the song is actually about the Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, but I have always related to Eric and Dylan. And I definitely relate to those lyrics.

Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park. "I want to heal, I want to feel what I thought was never real. I want to let go of the pain I've held so long. I want to heal, I want to feel like I'm close to something real. I want to find something I've wanted all along. Somewhere I belong."

Given Up by Linkin Park. The whole song is a description of my average day. I'll just put the first bit in. "Wake in a sweat again. Another day's been laid to waste in my disgrace. Stuck in my head again, feels like I'll never leave this place. There's no escape. I'm my own worst enemy. I've given up. I'm sick of feeling. Is there nothing you can say? Take this all away. I'm suffocating. Tell me what the f*** is wrong with me."

Mad World by Gary Jules. "All around me are familiar faces. Worn-out places. Worn-out faces. Bright and early for the daily races, going nowhere, going nowhere. The tears are filling up their glasses, no expression, no expression. Hide my head, I want to 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."

Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day. "I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known. Don't know where it goes, but it's only me and I walk alone. I walk this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams. And the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone. I walk alone, I walk alone. I walk alone. My shadow's the only one that walks beside me, my shallow heart's the only thing that's beating. Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me. Till then, I walk alone."

Adam's Song by Blink-182. "I never thought I'd die alone, I laughed the loudest. Who'd have known? I trace the cord back to the wall. No wonder, it was never plugged in at all. I took my time, I hurried up. The choice was mine, I didn't think enough. I'm too depressed to go on. You'll be sorry when I'm gone. I never conquered, rarely came. Sixteen just held such better days. Days when I still felt alive. We couldn't wait to get outside. The world was wide, too late to try. The tour was over, we'd survived. I couldn't wait till I got home to pass the time in my room alone."

Downfall by Trust Company. "Fear in me so deep, it gets the best of me. In the fear I fall, here it comes face to face with me. Here I stand, hold back so no one can see. I feel these wounds. Step down step down step down. Am I breaking down? Can I break away? Push me away. Make me fall. Just to see another side of me. Push me away. You can't see what I see, the other side of me."

If You Only Knew by Shinedown. "If you only knew how many times I counted all the words that went wrong, if you only knew how I refuse to let you go even when you're gone. I don't regret any days I spent, nights we shared or letters that I sent. It's 4:03 and I can't sleep without you next to me, I toss and turn like the sea. If I drown tonight, bring me back to life. Breathe your breath in me. The only thing I still believe in is you. If you only knew. If you only knew." I can pretty much relate to this song because well.... when I try to say things, it almost always comes out wrong and I regret it. But I can't change it and I lost the girl who loves me BECAUSE I'm like this. And she will never know I really love her BECAUSE of that. It's a part of my life that I wish I could change.

Disappear by Hoobastank. "There's a pain that sleeps inside, it sleeps with just one eye and awakens the moment that you leave... And I search through every face without a single trace of the person, the person that I need. Do you know that every time you're near, everybody else seems far away? So can you come and make them disappear? Make them disappear and we can stay." You guessed it, another love song heh. I wish everyone else was far away heh but unfortunately they never will be.

The whole song, Welcome To My Life by Simple Plan. I'm too exhausted by now to type out the lyrics to this one. Listen to the whole song, it rocks. Oh and I'm Just A Kid by them.

Unwell by Matchbox Twenty, whole song, it's my theme song.

Creep by Radiohead, I'm Still Here by Goo Goo Dolls, Away From The Sun by 3 Doors Down, Lying From You by Linkin Park, Papercut by Linkin Park, Crawling by Linkin Park, Don't Stay by Linkin Park. Through The Glass by Stone Sour, Bother by Stone Sour. Crawling In The Dark by Hoobastank, World So Cold by Three Days Grace. That's about it.. I'm tired. Hope that helped you guys find some good relateable music....

We Are The Few by Streetlight Manifesto. I think this sums it up pretty perfectly.

Unwell by Matchbox Twenty is one of my favorite songs about mental illness in general, but I think it's more about schizophrenia than Aspergers.

I agree with the poster that put Adam's Song and Boulevard of Broken Dreams, both great IMO. "I am a Rock" from Simon & Garfunkel was my favorite song for a while when I was in high school.

Here are some more that no one has mentioned yet.

Round Here--Counting Crows
"Step out the front door like a ghost into a fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white" is still the most haunting first line of any song I know

Nothingman--Pearl Jam
The World I Know--Collective Soul
Desperado--The Eagles
Crazy--Gnarls Barkley

Seeing someone mention Rush reminded me of how perfect the song "Subdivisions" is.
