How could I forget Korn!? One of my favorite bands.


Korn: Untouchables

"Hating"

My life is such a waste
Begging on something to work this time
But why can't I relate?
Feeling all I do is get what's mine
Holding on to faith, never gave me nothing but despair
So why do I create just to be swallowed?

I can't take (we have a start)
I can't take (we got a fantasy)
Come what may (we are the stars)
I can't wait (I’ll take what’s mine)

Been hating all this time before I crawled inside
Been hating all the faces of everything that I could find
Been hating all this time too far to cross the line
Been hating all the faces of everything that I could find

I Cannot take this place
Burning up inside this space of mine
So why can't I replace, feelings I find hard to really find?
I try but I can't taste
Memories they always f**k with me
So why do I create just to be swallowed?

I can't take (we have a start)
I can't take (we got a fantasy)
Come what may (we are the stars)
I can't wait (I’ll take what’s mine)

Been hating all this time before I crawled inside
Been hating all the faces of everything that I could find
Been hating all this time too far to cross the line
Been hating all the faces of everything that I could find,
find, find, find, find, find, find, find

All my feelings have been eating onto me
Feed inside, is there something wrong
with me?

I can't take (we have a start)
I can't take (we got a fantasy)
Come what may (we are the stars)
I can't wait (I’ll take what’s mine)

Been hating all this time before I crawled inside
Been hating all the faces of everything that I could find
Been hating all this time too far to cross the line
Been hating all the faces of everything that I could find,
find, find, find, find, find, find, find

Artist: Catherine Wheel
Album: Chrome
Song: Crank


Love my superstitious games
Running circles round my brain when I'm left smiling

I love to steal this living steam
My head in someone's dream
I'm tired of sleeping

Call me crank, my idea
Crank, so super
Crank, my conscience clear

I build my canopy of steel
It fulfills my sense of real
A chrome protection

Call me crank, my idea
Crank, so super
Crank, my conscience clear
It's clear

In this small partition, like a prison
Explode time bomb
If you know where I come from

You call me crank, my idea
Crank, so super
Crank, my conscience clear
Please call me crank, it's what I need
Crank, my mind in seed
Crank, my dream complete

Lay down, lay down, lay down


*Edit: Nice, I'm a yellow bellied woodpecker now.

Charley by The Prodigy. God I love that cat, with out him we wouldn't know what to do do.
"Charley says... ....Always tell mummy where you are going"

With all this GreenDay, how did everybody forget 'Minority'?

I pledge alliegence to the underworld
One nation under dog
There if which I stand alone
A face in the crowd
Unsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority

Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know

One light, one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
A free for all
**** em' all
You are your own sight!

You know, 'Masquerade' never occured to me, but now that I think about it...

WARNING: This is a rather long post.

This is a list that I identify with due to my A.S. Not sure what others make of it given how unique the 'disorder' is.

This one because the effect that autism has had on myself on a personal level. Not sure what others would think of it. For me it's the concept of being "somthin else" also I a perpetually hungry. Always.

Richie Blackmoore's Rainbow: Hunting Humans (insatable)

Lose your will,
See my world,
It's crimminal.
Insatiable. Insatiable.

Things we hide.
Keep them out of sight.
Shattered self,
It's a mirror ball.
Feell my pain,
Taste my shame,
Whos' to blame.
Inexcusable.

Don't cry.


The next little bit really reflects my attempts to try to encourage certain positive traits of A.S in others.

Live: Pain lies on the River Side. First of alll, it's Live. Live means a heck of alot to me. And I'd have to agree with White Disscussion.

I have never taken life,
Yet I have often paid the price.
And you,
You are a victim of endless hate,
And the guilt that hangs around your neck,
Has got me locked up in a cage
You've got to learn to live untill your end,
But first you must learn to swim all over again.


Live again: Good Pain. I have a bond with this song on accout that my tactile sense is rather... dull. I also find this song apt in expressing my anguish that some people are so... simple (probably NTs but I'm not sure I like that term).

He said, he said, he said
"There was nothing to fear boy"
And he said, he said, he said,
"Worthless are you tears boy"

"Just realize you senses
And realize you earth
Just realize your essence first"

I'll never be the same again
I want to walk in the sun
I am alive and well again
No more bittersweet
No more good pain

I'll stop with Live now because the list will just keep going.

Evanessence: Everybody's Fool. This song because I, unlike most people with A.S had a fasination with social interaction. And so I studied it. I learn how to act, but that's all it was, an act. Only recently have I been able to identify that fact {thanks AJ } It feels rather liberating, to say the least.

Perfect by nature, icons of self-indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world

That never was and never will be
Have you no shame, don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled.

Look here she comes now -
Bow down and stare in wonder.
Oh, how we love you
No flaws when you're
But now I know she -

Never was and never will be
You don't know how you betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.

Without the mask
Where will you hide?
Can't find yourself,
Lost in your lies

I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore


Gregorian Masters Of Chant (originally done by The Rasmus); In the Shadows: I think this one speaks for itself.

No sleep
No sleep until I am done with finding the answer
Won't stop
Won't stop before I find a cure for this cancer
Sometimes
I feel I going down and so disconnected
Somehow
I know that I am haunted to be wanted

I've been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows all my time
I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

In the shadows
In the shadows

They say
That i must learn to kill before i can feel safe
But I
I rather kill myself then turn into their slave
Sometimes
I feel that I should go and play with the thunder
Somehow
I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder

I've been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows all my time
I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

Lately I been walking walking in circles, watching waiting for
something
Feel me touch me heal me, come take me higher

I've been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows all my time
I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrows all my life
I've been watching
I've been waiting
I've been searching
I've been living for tomorrows
In the shadows
I've been waiting


Sound Garden: Black Hole Sun.
In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise
As no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
The sun
In my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
'Neath the black
The sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I'll hear you
Scream again

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come, won't you come

Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm mind
Tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
And sometimes
Far too long
For snakes
In my shoes a walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings like you
Anymore

Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just disappear


Spider Bait: Calypso. It's just so... different.
(for those of you who don't know the song, I won't be posting it here because it's really the music that makes it so... odd, and also my post is already too long (sorry guys).


Voltaire: Dunce. I think other people can relate to this one.

I break the silence with my voice,
And everyone turns round,
To see the source of all the noise,
And here I stand,
It's not as though as I ment to offend you,
With the things I say and do,
I should know better,
But I said so anyway,
It's easier to play a part,
And read your lines,
Than freely speak,
What's in your heart and in your mind.
Is it me who says these things that so offend you?
Inapproprate and loud?
I'd say I'm sorry but it's hard to speak,
With both feet in my mouth.




As for lyricless songs. I find that the dischordant dichometry of some of these songs really appeals to my selse of... not quite fitting in.

G.R.I.D: Swamp Thing. It's kinda' techno but with banjos.
Rob D: Clubbed to Death.
F.C.B: Excalibur. Opera and tigers. Can't go wrong.
Apocalyptica: Hall of the mountain king.
Nightwish: Ghost Love Score. Only on the I Wish I Had An Angel single.
Nightwish: Moondance.
Final Fantasy (Advent Children): One Winged Angel. Oh but DARN this is good. Both versions are good.
Pendulum: (not sure of the name). It has the Willy Wonka "There's no earthly way of knowing, In which direction we are going..." poem in it.


I apologise for the length of the post. Really. I'd be impressed if anyone bothered to read this whole rant.

not sure if this has been posted yet but,

it is c alled standing out in a crowed.
http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/yearwood-trisha/standing-out-in-a-crowd-16205.html

It is not derectly good for aspies but every body who is diferent (which isin't that really everybody?)

Pink Floyd - 'Time'

really captures the mood of social isolation and sense of lost years, the music has that haunting melancholic quality;

Here's one - not directly an aspie song but I can definitely see the parallels about not fitting in, especially where it says "The truth is I don't stand a chance, It's something that you're born into, And I just don't belong".

Weezer - Beverly Hills

Where I come from isn't all that great
My automobile is a piece of crap
My fashion sense is a little whack
And my friends are just as screwy as me

I didn't go to boarding schools
Preppie girls never looked at me
Why should they?
I ain't nobody
Got nothing in my pocket

Beverly Hills
That's where I want to be
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Rolling like a celebrity
Livin' in Beverly Hills

Look at all those movie stars
They're all so beautiful and clean
When the housemaids scrub the floors
They get the spaces in between

I wanna live a life like that
I wanna be just like a king
Take my picture by the pool
'cause I'm the next big thing

Beverly Hills
That's where I want to be
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Rolling like a celebrity
Livin' in Beverly Hills

The truth is I don't stand a chance
It's something that you're born into
And I just don't belong

No I don't
I'm just a no-class beat down fool
And I will always be that way
I might as well enjoy my life
And watch the stars play

Beverly Hills
That's where I want to be
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Rolling like a celebrity
Livin' in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills

Suicidal Tendencies - Alone

I can't say I went through the whole thread, but since I didn't see these on the list on the first post, here goes:

Incubus - Pardon Me - think about it... well, actually, no one seems to be able to keep up with his lyrics. XD

Incubus – Agoraphobia – okay, I have my Incubus window open… whatever. It’s more about conquering the fear, I think.

Dir en grey - -mushi- - Well, I dunno. I just think so. Moreso, even, than the others so far.

Incubus – Sick, Sad Little World – I’m not even kidding.

R.E.M. – Texarkana – Why the hell not? ><

A.F.I. –This Time Imperfect – Why, oh, why do I feel such a connection with this song? Really, I can’t understand it, but I feel so much empathy with Davie’s persona. "I cannot stay hear, I cannot leave.Just like all I loved, I’m make-believe. Imagined heart, I disappear. Seems no one will appear here and make me real…" I include this for my own comfort. It’s everyone else’s discression as to whether or not this is list-worthy, as far as I’m concerned now.

The Pixies – Alec Eiffel – Okay, Explanations are coming hard for me now, so I’ll exclude them if they don’t flow immediately... "To be great is to be misunderstood," as Ralph said.

Matchbox 20 – Mad Season – Come on

Gorillaz – Last Living Souls – hmm?

Coldplay – Talk – eh?

This is just a short bit I found on my computer really quick. I think, however, it’s all about individual perception of the song as far as whether or not the song is Aspie-related. For instance, I have no idea how Weezer’s "Undone -–the Sweater song" relates. However, someone else does.

Anyway, her’s my contribution for now.

see ya!

look at this. It comes from the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack... read the lyrics, watch the clip. It's the most Aspergian song I ever listened to, I listen it en boucle / repeteadly


P.O.D. LYRICS

"Sleeping Awake"

Reveal to me the mysteries
Can you tell me what it means?
Explain these motions and metaphors
Unlock these secrets in me
Describe the vision, the meaning is missing
Won't anybody listen?

Define the riddles of my mind
Nothing is really what it seems

Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Sleeping Awake
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping...

Can you see it? The writing,
Can you tell me what it means?
Translate the symbols, Enigma
Expressions keep questioning me
The message is written, the meaning is missing
Won't anybody Listen?

Prophesy, interpretate the signs
Nothing is really what it seems

Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Sleeping Awake
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
And do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
And do you feel like I feel?
And can you dream like I dream?

Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Or do you feel like I feel?
Or do you dream like I dream?
Anybody see me?
Anybody hear me?
Anybody feel me?
Anybody out there?!?

Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Sleeping Awake
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Anybody see me?
Anybody hear me?
Anybody feel me?
Anybody out there?!?

end.







what do you think about it ?

Vejita...
sou desu yo. it's hard for me to take it out of Matrix context, but I did. And I do think I agree ^^

Simon and Garfunkel's "For Emily" - not necessarily specifically about AS (and contains the irritating mistake referring to crinoline as a kind of cloth when it was actually a framework for holding women's skirts out like open parachutes) but depicts the kind of longing I feel at the moment for my poor lost "Mikey" and the kind of imaginative world I've lived most of my life in...

What a I dream I had:
Dressed in organdy;
Clothed in crinoline of smoky Burgundy;
Softer than the rain.
I wandered empty streets
Down past the shop displays.
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alley ways,
As I walked on.

And when you ran to me
Your cheeks flushed with the night.
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight,
I held your hand.
And when I woke and felt you warm and near,
I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears.
Oh I love you, girl.
Oh, I love you.

Just reading that makes me cry! And I was feeling OK to go to bed...!

The empty streets bit reminds me of the conversation I had with my psychiatrist on Wednesady about trying to repopulate my imagination's empty city, stripped bare when they arrested Mikey on Tuesday and sent him to the Gulag outside it... sorry if that sounds weird but ...it's a very long story.

My god, 3am...already!

well, admittedly I'm too lazy to go through all nine pages of posts with my dial-up connection to see if this was mentioned, and since I don't see it on the list, I'll post it.

I mentioned this not five minutes ago in a different post.

Linkin Park - MY<DSMBR (because it's the version I have)

This is my December.
This is my time of the year.
This is my December.
This is all so clear...
(Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed)
This is my December.
This is my snow-covered home.
This is my December.
This is me alone.
And I just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed.
And I take back all the things I said to make you feel like that.
And I just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed.
And I take back all the things I said to you.
And I'd give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to.
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to.
This is my December.
These are my snow-covered trees.
This is me pretending
This is all I need.

And while we’re here, and to avoid making another post, here’s…

The Pixies – Alec Eiffel

Pioneer of aerodynamics, (Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel)
They thought he was a real smart-alec. (Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel)
He thought big, but they called it a phallic. (Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel)
They didn’t know he was panoramic.
Little Eiffel Stands in the archway, (Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel)
Even though it doesn’t make no sense.
Sometimes people can be oh-so-dense.
They didn’t want it, but he built it anyway. (Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel)
Little Eiffel stands in the archway, (Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel)
Even though it don’t make sense,
Even though it doesn’t make no sense. (Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel)
Little Eiffel stands in the archway…
"Oh, Alexander, I see you beneath the Archway of Aerodynamics."

and that’s my contribution for the evening ^__^

Stephen Hawking does some of the lyrics on this song. It's from The Division Bell which is a concept album all about communication.

Keep Talking by Pink Floyd

For millions of years mankind lived just like animals
Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination
We learned to talk

There's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I'LL sit in the corner
No one can bother me
I think I should speak now
My words won't come out right
I feel like I'm drowning
I'm feeling week now
But I can't show my weakness
I sometimes wonder
Where do we go from me

It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
What are you feeling
Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
Where do we go from here

It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
What are you feeling
Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
What are you feeling

I feel like I'm drowing
You know I can't breathe now
We're going nowhere
We're going nowhere

i am human - the smiths
