If nobody here relates to this, I'm gonna... gonna... I'm gonna projectile vomit!

"Grade 9"

The Barenaked Ladies

I found my locker and I found my classes
Lost my lunch and I broke my glasses,
That guy is huge! That girl is wailin'!
First day of school and I'm already failing.

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

I've got a blue-and-red Adidas bag and a humongous binder,
I'm trying my best not to look like a minor niner.
I went out for the football team to prove that I'm a man;
I guess I shouldn't tell them that I like Duran Duran.

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

<b>Well, half my friends are crazy and the others are depressed
and none of them can help me study for my math test.</b>
I got into the classroom and my knowledge was gone;
I guess I should've studied instead of watching Wrath Of Khan.

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

They called me chicken legs, they called me four-eyes
they called me fatso, they called me buckwheat,
they called me Eddie

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

I've got a red leather tie and pair of rugger pants,
I put them on and I went to the high school dance.
Dad said I had to be home by eleven -
aw, man, I'm gonna miss Stairway to Heaven.

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

don’t worry Serissa that song speaks to me to

I found this song to be a aceturate description of how I feal about having debates with some NT’s

LIVE - White, Discussion
I talk of freedom
you talk of the flag
I talk of revolution
you'd much rather brag
and as the decibels of this disenchanting discourse
continue to dampen the day

the coin flips again and again, and again, and again
as our sanity walks away
all this discussion though politically correct
is dead beyond destruction
though it leaves me quite erect

and as the final sunset rolls behind the earth
and the clock is finally dead
I'll look at you, you'll look at me
and we'll cry a lot
but this will be what we said
this will be what we said

Look where all this talking got us, baby.

Another BNL song for Aspies RIGHT HERE

"This Is Where It Ends"

The Barenaked Ladies

I don't buy everything I read,
I haven't even read everything I've bought
I don't cry every time I bleed,
my eyes are dry, but they're bloodshot
I have faith in medication
I believe in the Prozac Nation
You play doctor, but I've lost patience

[Chorus]
But this is where it ends
This is where it ends
Call the police and call the press
But please, dear God, don't tell my friends
This is where it ends
This is where it ends

Where's my pride? Where's my self-esteem?
Does it show in the drinks I've bought?
I don't hide every time I'm seen, but I try not to get caught
Make excuses for behaviour
Can my illness be my saviour?
Hid my heart while you still gave yours

[Chorus]

She says she wants to live in a movie
I say I want someone else to stand behind me
And write it all down
'Cause I can't be bothered
Doing it myself.
And I don't want the responsibility of
proving it's importance.

I have loved and I have waited
Been picked up and been sedated
mental health is overrated

[Chorus]

A now obscure San Francisco punk band called Flipper did a song called 'Brainwashed' which captures my frustration with communicating to other people completely.

It consists of a repeating loop of a guy trying to monologue over driving bassheavy punk music with incomprehensible ( and barely audible) vocals, but not getting his words out. Finally he gets frustrated and says,"Nevermind, forget it, you wouldn't understand anyways." as the loop ends. This repeats in 30 second loops for 6 minutes before fading out.

What about "In My Mind" by Zed ... that's really identified me...

Zed wrote:

In my mind,
In my mind,
A world of enchantment,
Being sung through my mind.

In my mind,
Visual enhancement.

And I find myself in,
A red painted barn,
A million stars they,
Pick me up and spin me.

Now I am floating,
In a land of confusion,
Or is it reality,
Or just an illusion.

And nothing makes sense,
No start and no end,
When you get more,
Is when you get bored.

In my mind,
In my mind,
Turning the handle,
And it's starting to stain.

In my mind,
Burns like a candle,
And the wax tells a fairy tale,
My heads for sale,
I'm swimming through the hail.

Now I am floating,
In a land of confusion,
Or is it reality,
Or just an illusion.

And nothing makes sense,
No start and no end,
When you get more,
Is when you get bored.

But when you get more,
Is when you get something.

In my mind,
In my mind,
In my mind.

In my mind,
In my mind.

Why can't you find yourself,
Another place to rest,
In my mind.

In my mind,
In my mind,
In my mind.

In my mind I see,
A red painted barn,
A million stars they,
Pick me up and spin me.

Now I am floating,
In a land of confusion,
Or is it reality,
Or just an illusion.

And nothing makes sense,
No start and no end,
When you get more,
Is when you get bored.

But when you get more.
Is when you get something.

Why can't you find yourself,
Another place to rest.

Why can't you find yourself,
Another place to rest.

When you get more,
Is when you get bored,
When you get more,
Is when you get bored.

When you get more,
Is when you get bored,
But when you get more,
Is when you get something.

Why can't you find yourself,
Another place to rest.

When you get more,
Is when you get bored,
When you get more,
Is when you get bored.

When you get more,
Is when you get bored,
But when you get more,
Is when you get something.

I may be wrong but I don’t think any one has mentioned Linkin park?
If so let me change that

Linkin park - Runaway

Graffiti decorations
Under the sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learned were never true

Pre chorus:
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true

- Breaking the habit
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I’m picking me apart again
You all assume
I’m safe here in my room
(unless I try to start again)

I don’t want to be the one
The battles always choose
‘Cause inside I realize
That I’m the one confused

I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don’t know why I instigate
And say what I don’t mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I know it’s not alright
So I’m
Breaking the habit
Tonight

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

I’ll paint it on the walls
‘Cause I’m the one at fault
I’ll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don’t know how I got this
I’ll never be alright
So I’m
Breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Tonight

- Lying from You
When I pretend, everything is what I want it be,
I looked exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can’t forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just cause I know I can, but
I can’t pretend that this is they way it will stay, I’m just
(lying to defend the truth)
I can’t pretend of who you want me to be so
(I’m lying my way from)

You
(nah, no turning back now)
I wanna be close beside so let me go
(nah, no turning back now)
Let me take me back my life
I’d rather be all alone
(no turning back now)
And anywhere on my own, cause I can see
(nah, no turning back now)
’cause everyone’s lying from you
With me

I remember what they taught to me,
Remember condescending took for what I ought to be
Remember fussing and all of that and this again
So I could turned it up to the person who was feeling it
And now you think this person really is me and i
(trying to defend the truth )
Yo, the more I push I’m pulling away cause i’m
(lying my way from)

- Numb
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

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]
and every second i waste is more than i can take

but i know
i may end up failing too
but i know
you were just like me
with someone disappointed in you

- Somewhere I belong
I had nothing to say
and i get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(i was confused)
and i live it all out to find, but im not the only person wit these things in mind
(inside of me)
but all that they can see the words revealed
is the only real thing that i got left to feel
(nothing to lose)
just stuck hollow and alone
and the fault is my own and the fault is my own

[Chorus]
i wanna heal i wanna feel what i thought was never real
i wanna let go of the pain ive felt so long.
erase all the pain til its gone
i wanna heal i wanna feel like im close to something real.
i wanna find something ive wanted all along
somewhere i belong

and i got nothing to say. i cant believe i didnt fall right down on my face
(i was confused)
look at everywhere only to find.
it is not the way i had imagined it all in my mind.
(so what am i)
what do i have but negativity
cuz i cant trust no one by the way everyone is looking at me
(nothing to lose)
nothing to gain im hollow and alone
and the fault is my own
and the fault is my own

Sorry for the long post

"Mr. Big" made some songs I can relate to.

Take Cover:

Quote:

Words in my mouth
Someone told me to say
They go unspoken
My mind gets in the way
I hold my tongue
Save my, save my soul
True to myself
And stay gold

Sometimes you gotta pull the plug
Somewhere a little place to crawl
Love me for who I am
It doesn't have to be this hard
For an ordinary man

I wanna take cover, take cover
From you, make me when it's over
Take cover, I wanna take cover
From you

Sold all my dreams
Watched them all disappear
I've spilled my blood
No one seems to care

Sometimes you gotta pull the plug
Some where a little place to crawl
Love for who I am
How low do I have to go to make you understand

Where Do I Fit In:

Quote:

Don't you color me by the way you paint your pictures
I'm happy just the way I am
It's been soaked into my bones, a child under pressure
I'm a bastard of the master plan

I wanna live my life
Don't wanna live a lie
I hear freedom ringin'
Everyone's got a place
But where do I fit in

Don't go sellin' me a dream you can't deliver
Like a dog in a cat suit, it's a poor disguise
Strange little angels a parade of saints and sinners
Greetings from the other side

I wanna live my life
Don't wanna live a lie
I hear freedom ringin'
Everyone's got a place
But where do I fit in

I was walking on glass from thousand broken mirrors
Saw my reflection stare me down
I tried to run, I was going through the motions
I got my feet on solid ground

I wanna live by life
Don't wanna live a lie
I hear freedom ringin'
I wasn't the same as you baby
But take a walk in my shoes

I hear freedom ringin'
Everyone's got a place
But where do I fit in

and Wake Up:

Quote:

You go to school with your head held down
You try to fit in but they push your out
Too many people put your face in the ground
You'll get them back you'll get them
Even if you gotta wait it out the rage is out
And you feel like you're worthless
When you're breakin' down
No one's around there's gotta be somethin' better than this
You wanna feel like you're livin'

Wake up wake up son it's just a voice in your head
Get up get up tell 'em what you should have said
I know they get to ya but you got a future
Don't let 'em take you done
Wake up wake up boy you're gonna live again
You think an attitude can make you cool
Sick and tired of being everyone's fool
You think daddy's gun is gonna erase all the scars and the pain
But you better weigh it out don't ever doubt
In one moment your life can change
It's easy now to live it down
You say you feel like a number now
But you're more than a number

You can waste your time try to
Find someone to blame and let it out
But all you need to hear is everything is gonna be fine

Frenzal Rhomb - I hate my brain

Frenzal Rhomb wrote:

Some people say that your brain is a product
If I bought it today I would take it back tomorrow
So many defects and faults
Sometimes I wish I didn't need one at all

I hate my brain
I hate my brain
I hate my brain

When ignorance gets a hold of your neurons
Then it's not hard to be tempted by its bliss
Its easy to get annoyed when you focus on one thing
Until it almost disappears.

I hate my brain
I hate my brain
I hate my brain

My brain
My brain
My brain

Some people say that your brain is your master
Not your mind or your soul, it is what you have
I guess I'll try to find some common ground
So we can get along.

I hate my brain
I hate my brain
I hate my brain
I hate my brain
I hate my brain.

This is more of an ADHD song, but I guess you can try and include AS int it somehow.

Depeche Mode - Something To Do

Quote:

My little girl
Won't you come with me
Come with me
And tell me

Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do

I'm going crazy with boredom
Come with me
Tell me

Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do

Grey sky over a black town
I can feel depression
All around
You've got your leather boots on

Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do

I can't stand another drink
It's surprising this town
Doesn't sink
You've got your leather boots on

Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do

Your pretty dress is oil stained
From working too hard
For too little
You've got your leather boots on

Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do

You're feeling the boredom too
I'd gladly go with you
I'd put your leather boots on

Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do
I'd put your pretty dress on

Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do

Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do
Is there something to do

I dunno if this has already been said, but Ben Lee's 'Catch My Disease'
I'll post the lyrics when I can be bothered to.

Scott Krippayne-I'm not cool

Some people tell me that I look kind of funny
My nose is red and the braces didn't work at all
They say the clothes I wear are all out of fashion
I don't fit in and should be shopping at a different mall
I studied classical piano when I could've been playing guitar
I used to drive an El Camino and I'm not even sure it's a car

I'm not cool but that's okay
My God loves me anyway
I'm not cool but that's alright
I'm still precious in His sight
I'm not cool but I don't care
How I'm supposed to do my hair
I'm not cool but that's okay
My God loves me anyway

It doesn't matter if I know all the lingo
He doesn't mind if I'm not hanging with a certain crowd
Some people still believe in building image
But I am fine and that's a worry I can do without
I used to wish I was athsmatic 'cause football was never my game
I met some friends in mathematics but no one could spell my last name

I'm not cool but that's okay
My God loves me anyway
I'm not cool but that's alright
I'm still precious in His sight
I'm not cool but I don't care
How I'm supposed to do my hair
I'm not cool but that's okay
My God loves me anyway

He says that I am one of a kind
And I don't have to try to be somebody else
He believes in me and says I'm free to be myself
I can be myself

I'm not cool but that's okay
My God loves me anyway
I'm not cool but that's alright
I'm still precious in His sight
I'm not cool but I don't care
How I'm supposed to do my hair
I'm not cool but that's okay
My God loves me anyway
My God loves me anyway

Yet another GBS aspie song, sorta, I see the world of NTs like this.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

cracking song, but its an REM song really...

My addition to the pile is a Joy Division song, which will surprise absolutely nobody...

Quote:

Joy Division - Isolation

In fear every day, every evening
He calls her aloud from above
Carefully watched for a reason
Painstaking devotion and love

Surrendered to self preservation
From others who care for themselves
A blindness that touches perfection
But hurts just like anything else

Isolation, isolation, isolation

Mother I tried please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am

Isolation, isolation, isolation

But if you could just see the beauty
These things I could never describe
These pleasures a wayward distraction
This is my one lucky prize

Isolation, isolation, isolation, isolation, isolation.

The cover by Therapy? is totally different to the jittery original, but just as powerful.
