  1. Codeless

    Codeless Cheshire Cat

    A lot like tumblr sjws. They come in two types:
    1) Emilie Autumn is literally god and can do no wrong ever. Often goes along with Psychiatrists are all evil.
    2) Emilie Autumn is the worst person ever and can do no right. Often goes along with thinking anyone who expresses ANY negative feelings towards mental health care and how it is handled, even if only to say that one personally doesn´t want to take psychoactive medication, must belong to the Pyschiatrists are evil camp.

    I sadly can´t find my damn diary, so i don´t remember which year i saw her first, but it was the year FLAG came out. I had her sign said diary.

    (I also bawled my eyes out the first time i heard both I Want My Innocence Back and One Foot In Front Of The Other. This is a thing with me and really good songs)

  4. liminal

    liminal I'm gonna make it through this year if it kills me

    Speaking of angry music, I heard this song awhile ago and it reminded me of @Vast Derp 's advice about dropping toxic people in your life.



    [Slug]
    You know you fucked up right?
    Bye bye, wish you luck with life
    But I'd be damned if, I let you manage
    to bless that blade and keep taking advantage
    Look man, yeah you shook my hand
    But that was back then, we're not good fam
    I'm the fool cause I started to be cool with him
    But I got schooled in the art of opportunism
    I ain't the only one that walked away
    Look around, everybody gone today
    You all alone with your empty chest
    So bury the bones with any regrets
    and keep those skeletons piled in stacks
    Just drink your medicine, don't bite your glass
    I tried to make a difference
    But the only thing that changed was I gave you distance

    [Chorus: 2X]
    I won't trust you again
    Getting better at choosing friends
    This time the loser wins
    Cause I learned how to cut off the looser ends

    [Slug]
    I'm not tripping, this just an excuse
    for me to dick down a little bit of the truth
    We killing time and time's killing us
    So I won't waste mine tryna grip a grudge
    But don't twist it into what it isn't
    Don't call, don't write, don't visit
    I put you on ignore, you're not the homie anymore
    The only thing that you could show me is the door
    Game over, yeah who's winning?
    Save your gas, I refuse to listen
    If you doing math, we doing division
    Don't even ask how I've been, there's no you in existence
    Go your way, I'll go my way
    And you keep going until there's no one to violate
    And I'ma remember your last impression
    Thanks for that lesson

    [Chorus: 2X]

    [Slug]
    Now I lay you down to sleep
    I swear to God you're dead to me
    If I should give you any thought
    It's just to teach self how to not
     
  5. prismaticvoid

    prismaticvoid Too Too Abstract



    This song is sad as hell but in a way it's about owning that, and I love it. "All folks are damaged goods...so collect your scars and wear 'em well"


    And on the angry side, Amanda Palmer reminding me that family bullshit is universal.

  6. liminal

    liminal I'm gonna make it through this year if it kills me

    I don't know how relevant this song is but it has been stuck in my head all day:



    There's bound to be a ghost at the back of your closet
    No matter where you live
    There'll always be a few things, maybe several things
    That you're going to find really difficult to forgive

    There's going to come a day when you feel better
    You'll rise up free and easy on that day
    And float from branch to branch, lighter than the air
    Just when that day is coming, who can say, who can say?

    Our mother has been absent
    Ever since we founded Rome
    But there's going to be a party
    When the wolf comes home

    We're going to commandeer the local airwaves
    To tell the neighbors what's been going on
    And they will shake their heads and wag their bony fingers
    In all the wrong directions, and by daybreak we'll be gone

    I'm going to get myself in fighting trim
    Scope out every angle of unfair advantage
    I'm going to bribe the officials, I'm going to kill all the judges
    It's going to take you people years to recover from all of the damage

    Our mother has been absent
    Ever since we founded Rome
    But there's going to be a party
    When the wolf comes home

    Another one for dealing with abusers. "You keep picking at the scab and I'll keep selling the plaster/You keep telling me that I'm bad, but I keep on getting better faster"

  14. Fish butt

    Fish butt Everything is coming together, slowly but surely.

    I've got really weird and random taste in music, but I'll share anyways. The music that really helped me get through these last four months was mainly old CD's that I had when I was a teenager (so mostly classical with some weird 80's synth bands scattered through), or a weird mix of pop and punk. The happy songs was what I played when I got my own apartment and started moving in and settling down, the angry songs were what I listened to when I was moving stuff out of the big one and sorting all the stuff he left behind:

    Happy: Colección del Milenio - Offenbach, La Alegría Parisiana



    Happy: Rondo Veneziano - Symphonic Run




    Angry:
    Dead Kennedys/Give me Convenience or Give me Death - California Uber Alles Not positive at all, but was really good for those angry feelings.



    Angry: Blah Blah Blah - Ke$ha (my EX was always good at talking and this song just felt so fucking appropriate when he left)



    Skip to 0:31 for the music and not have to listen to stupid dialogue.

    i am a natural born Shonen Retard. i am motivated by FIGHT MUSIC. i just occasionally need to be reminded that i'm the character who always gets beaten to a pulp just before they get up and wipe the floor with the bad guy.

    Ahh, yes, Danger Days is such a good album for inspiration!

    I also really like Patrick Wolf. Whenever there's angst, there's always an underlying anger/hope/determination. In my bedroom at my parents' house, I scratched the words THE SUN IS OFTEN OUT in pencil in a crack on my ceiling, so that most of the time I forgot about it, but when I was feeling so awful that I found myself collapsed on the floor I'd spot it and feel inspired. I recommend the song Hard Times in particular.
