Post a song that describes your current state in life and how long you've been in that state. For example, this song pretty much describes my life for the past three years. I would only change the lyrics "smoking cigarettes" to "smoking tons of weed"

The Statler Brothers - Flowers on the Wall (Lyrics)

(For some reason it wouldn't link the youtube video directly)

"(There's Gotta Be) More to Life" - Stacie Orrico (click)

This song is the only one that pretty much describes word for word how I have felt inside for the past 3 years. It's a song about basically having it all and yet still feeling unfulfilled, so you go around pursuing things that only bring you temporary happiness.

Hah, thank you. I think that you misinterpreted why exactly I posted the song I posted though

(See the last stanza).

I guess I'll post another one then, that was actually written in the past 50 years!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85W0JQMLJ8g

PS: I never thought I'd see the day when Jay-Z was backing a Coldplay track.

Can't find song entitled "This f*****g Sucks, I Hate It, Please Don't Let Things Be Like This Forever."

Yeah, I translated the title which came out to "I am lost to the world." (Or my bad translation)

It's really nice though, what am I missing about the last stanza?

Jay-Z and Coldplay, kind of like Bologna and Cheese Spread, but it works.

Whenever I feel like that, I find this one pretty accurately covers my mood:

I would update the lyrics to "I found out I was an Aspie when the THE DSM 5 took it away" . Which segues into the next song

Don't worry, I am not slashing my wrist but the above song does describe my life now.

Not really, I just like this song. I think this song is about being strung out on drugs. I don't take drugs so it doesn't apply to me. I guess a line (this is not a pun) of the song here and there might. Anyway, I find this song cathartic for some reason.

The anime opening song fits my current life pretty well:

http://youtu.be/FSQNF4BmFt4

I even set it as my alarm clock and it is waking me up - giving me strength for the new day.

(...)
So what if I sing off key, who cares?
Not good with drawing, no big deal.
(...)
Overcome yourself.
(...)
No more fears. No more tears.
Everything will work out.
(..)
Whatever happens in my life,
turn the page and come of age.
Remember, no one can judge me.
Every end leads to a new beginning
of the next stage.
Try to make my life complete, trust myself.
Be strong and do my best.
Don't look back. Carry on.

(Be yourself.) Be happy. It's your life...
(Find your love.) Find your way for your life...

It's pretty much what I am doing with my life. Well - except the finding love. If love comes I am OK with it but I am not really looking for one. It isn't one of my priorities. But all other stuff fit perfectly: trying to be strong and do my best, being myself, looking for my own way in the life. The singing/drawing might be replaced by some social interaction issues.
