Perfect soundtrack to a failed BPD relationship?

[FannyB]

Driving home today when 'Time is Running Out' by Muse came on the radio. Now I'd always loved this song, but hadn't heard it since meeting my uBPDexgf. Listening to it today, and the lyrics really seem to typify the pain and inner turmoil felt by many posters on this message board. What do you think guys?

Time Is Running Out"

I think I'm drowning

Asphyxiated

I wanna break this spell

That you've created

You're something beautiful

A contradiction

I wanna play the game

I want the friction

You will be the death of me

You will be the death of me

Bury it

I won't let you bury it

I won't let you smother it

I won't let you murder it

Our time is running out

Our time is running out

You can't push it underground

You can't stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom

Bound and restricted

I tried to give you up

But I'm addicted

Now that you know I'm trapped sense of elation

You'd never dream of

Breaking this fixation

You will squeeze the life out of me

Bury it

I won't let you bury it

I won't let you smother it

I won't let you murder it

Our time is running out

Our time is running out

You can't push it underground

You can't stop it screaming out

How did it come to this?

Oh

You will suck the life out of me

Bury it

I won't let you bury it

I won't let you smother it

I won't let you murder it

Our time is running out

Our time is running out

You can't push it underground

You can't stop it screaming out

How did it come to this?

Oh

[Blimblam]

Lol I tememer that one! 

I got into a perfect circle and the nirvanna in in utero album.

[mitatsu]

Tool, Push it



A Perfect Circle, Passive

[newlifeBPDfree]

At the beginning of my break up, when I was still very conflicted about my decision, the "Say Something" song by Great Big World featuring Christina Aguilera really hit a note with me:

Say Something"


Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'll be the one, if you want me to

Anywhere I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I am feeling so small

It was over my head

I know nothing at all

And I will stumble & fall

I'm still learning to love

Just starting to crawl

Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Anywhere I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I will swallow my pride

You're the one that I love

And I'm saying goodbye

Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

And anywhere I would've followed you (Ooh-oh)

Say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something... .


And this is what is hitting the note currently - Wake me up by Avicii

"Wake Me Up"


Feeling my way through the darkness

Guided by a beating heart

I can't tell where the journey will end

But I know where to start

They tell me I'm too young to understand

They say I'm caught up in a dream

Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes

Well that's fine by me

[2x]

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time I was finding myself

And I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world

But I only have two hands

Hope I get the chance to travel the world

But I don't have any plans

Wish that I could stay forever this young

Not afraid to close my eyes

Life's a game made for everyone

And love is the prize

[2x]

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time I was finding myself

And I didn't know I was lost

Didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know (didn't know, didn't know)

[leftconfused]

FannyB those lyrics are spot on! I'll have to listen to that.

Newlife - You know what is funny is I was relating to that song (say something) 4 mos into my relationship!  Why oh why didn't I get out then... .sigh

[shatterd]

good tune fanny    korn is the answer

[PaintedBlack28]

My xBPDgf loved "Ooops I did it again" by Britney Spears. I wasn't aware of the secret agenda... . until it was too late.

[zundertowz]

Believe it or not I actually watched the live youtube video from Wembly Stadium a week after we broke up... .good tune.  Love all the Tool and APC fans in here... .Pu___ is an epic song... .saw the gap again today... .

[shatterd]

[FlSunshineGirl]

Papa Roach - "Scars"

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut

My weakness is that I care too much

And my scars remind me that the past is real

I tear my heart open just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down

And I just wanna be alone

I'm pissed cause you came around

Why don't you just go home

Cause you channel all your pain

And I can't help you fix yourself

You're making me insane

All I can say is

[Chorus:]

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut

My weakness is that I care too much

And our scars remind us that the past is real

I tear my heart open just to feel

I tried to help you once

Against my own advice

I saw you going down

But you never realized

That you're drowning in the water

So I offered you my hand

Compassions in my nature

Tonight is our last stand

[Chorus]

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down

And I just wanna be alone

You shouldn't ever come around

Why don't you just go home?

Cause you're drowning in the water

And I tried to grab your hand

And I left my heart open

But you didn't understand

But you didn't understand

Go fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself

But at least I can say I tried

I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

I can't help you fix yourself

But at least I can say I tried

I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

My xBPDgf loved "Ooops I did it again" by Britney Spears. I wasn't aware of the secret agenda... . until it was too late.

- this typifies their behaviour to a tee. Perhaps 'Toxic' by the same singer (is Britney borderline?) is our riposte to them!

This is a great thread idea. I really love music and stuff, so here are some of the artists that I went through from day one of my breakup to now—about 3 months ago.

First it was all like, new hip-hop, kinda trappy stuff like Future, Drake, Rich Gang, etc. Then I completely abandoned rap music and just started listening to really trashy indie rock. First more modern stuff like Beach Fossils, and Real Estate. Then lots of earlier stuff like Built to Spill, Beat Happening, things like that. Then, the punk phase of the breakup came and I was listening to a lot of Wire, The Wipers, etc.

For some reason I got really into country music, bluegrass, etc. Could absolutely not stop listening to Townes Van Zandt, and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Really good stuff, haha.

Recently I've moved on to 60s era southern soul, and I think I'll be here for a while. Been obsessing over Al Green, Sam Cooke, Aretha, all the greats.

[jammo1989]

The best track I can relate to is Linkin Park- Pushing Me Away


I've lied to you

The same way that I always do

This is the last smile

That I'll fake for the sake of being with you

(Everything falls apart

Even the people who never frown

Eventually break down)

The sacrifice of hiding in a lie

(Everything has to end

You'll soon find we're out of time left

To watch it all unwind)

The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away

Why I played myself this way

Now I see you're testing me pushes me away

Why I never walked away

Why I played myself this way

Now I see your testing me pushes me away

I've tried like you

To do everything you wanted too

This is the last time

I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you

(Everything falls apart

Even the people who never frown

Eventually break down)

The sacrifice of hiding in a lie

(Everything has to end

You'll soon find we're out of time left

To watch it all unwind)

The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away

Why I played myself this way

Now I see you're testing me pushes me away

Why I never walked away

Why I played myself this way

Now I see you're testing me pushes me away

(We're all out of time

This is how we find how it all unwinds)

The sacrifice of hiding in a lie

(We're all out of time

This is how we find how it all unwinds)

The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away

Why I played myself this way

Now I see you're testing me pushes me away

Why I never walked away

Why I played myself this way

Now I see you're testing me pushes me away

Pushes me away

[hope2727]

I too love all of the previous posts but here is one you may not have heard of the really speaks to me. 

Sara Barielles (sp)

Breathe Again


Car is parked, bags are packed

But what kind of heart doesn't look back

At the comfortable glow from the porch

The one I will still call yours?

All those words came undone

And now I'm not the only one

Facing the ghosts that decide

If the fire inside still burns

All I have, all I need

He's the air I would kill to breathe

Holds my love in his hands

Still I'm searching for something

Out of breath, I am left hoping someday

I'll breathe again, I'll breathe again

Open up next to you

And my secrets become your truth

And the distance between

That was sheltering me comes in full view

Hang my head, break my heart

Built from all I have torn apart

And my burden to bear

Is a love I can't carry anymore

All I have, all I need

He's the air I would kill to breathe

Holds my love in his hands

Still I'm searching for something

Out of breath, I am left hoping someday

I'll breathe again

It hurts to be here

I only wanted love from you

It hurts to be here

What am I gonna do?

All I have, all I need

He's the air I would kill to breathe

Holds my love in his hands

Still I'm searching

All I have, all I need

He's the air I would kill to breathe

Holds my love in his hands

And still I'm searching for something

Out of breath, I am left hoping someday

I'll breathe again, I'll breathe again

I'll breathe again, I'll breathe again

I'll breathe again, I'll breathe again

[zundertowz]

APC-by down and now


Moving in and out of the shadows

It's no easier mission

Holding onto how I picture you

Showing only bits and pieces

'Till the tide betrays you and your empty allocution

Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility

Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility

Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of it

Searching your eyes for humility

Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace

I'm still searching searching

Showing all the missing pieces

'Till the light betrays you and your empty allocution

Saw the Piper by and down the river

Caught his crippled alchemy

From pounding waves of adoration

Pied Piper float on down the river

Bloated carcass crippled me

The weight of adoration

Moving in and out of the shadows

It's no easy mission

Holding on to how I picture you

[downwhim]

Went and saw the play "Once" and they sang "Say something I'm giving up on you." I wondered why I was starting to cry. It was before the b/u during his periods of silent treatment and rage. I didn't know what was to come but knew that song sang to me.

Thanks for the reminder.

I've watched you change

Into a fly

I looked away

You were on fire

I watched a change

In you

It's like you never

Had wings

Now you feel

So Alive

I've watched you change

I took you home

Set you on the glass

I pulled off your wings

Then I laughed

I watched a change

In you

It's like you never

Had wings

Now you feel

So alive

I've watched you change

It's like you never

Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh

I look at the cross

Then I look away

Give you the gun

Blow me away

I've watched a change

In you

It's like you never

Had wings

Now you feel

So Alive

I've watched you change.

Now you feel Alive

You Feel Alive

I've watched you change

It's like you never

Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh

[dagwoodbowser]

How about some Queen... .I Want to Break Free

I want to break free

I want to break free

I want to break free from your lies

You're so self satisfied, I don't need you

I've got to break free

God knows, God knows I want to break free

I've fallen in love

I've fallen in love for the first time

And this time I know it's for real

I've fallen in love yea

God knows, God knows I've fallen in love

It's strange but it's true, hey yea

I can't get over the way you love me like you do

But I have to be sure

When I walk out that door

Oh how I want to be free baby

Oh how I want to be free

Oh how I want to break free

But life still goes on

I can't get used to livin' without livin' without

Livin' without you by my side

I don't want to live alone, hey

God knows, got to make it on my own

So baby can't you see

I've got to break free

I've got to break free

I want to break free, yea

I want, I want, I want

I want to break free .

[dobie]

This would be mine .

Cocaine flame in my bloodstream

Sold my coat when I hit Spokane

Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes in the early morning rain

Lately my hands they don't feel like mine

My eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind

Held you in my arms one time

Lost you just the same

Jolene

I ain't about to go straight

It's too late

I found myself face down in the ditch

Booze on my hair

Blood on my lips

A picture of you, holding a picture of me

in the pocket of my blue jeans

Still don't know what love means

Still don't know what love means

Jolene

Ah, La, La, La, La, La

Jolene

Been so long since I seen your face

or felt a part of this human race

I've been living out of this here suitcase for way too long

A man needs something he can hold onto

A nine pound hammer or a woman like you

Either one of them things will do

Jolene

I ain't about to go straight

It's too late

I found myself face down in the ditch

Booze in my hair

Blood on my lips

A picture of you, holding a picture of me

In the pocket of my blue jeans

Still don't know what love means

Still don't know what love means

Jolene

[shatterd]

she dosent love you shes just lonely   ring any bells?

Shut up and Drive by Chely Wright

Shut up and drive, you don't know what you're talking about

He's not the one, you ought to know that by now

You've got one of those hearts, that keeps changing your mind

Your heart has a way of making you stay so shut up and drive

Don't look in the mirror, he might have that look in his eyes

The one that's so strong it strangles your will to survive

He's mastered the art of looking sincere

His eyes have a way of making you stay don't look in the mirror

I'm the voice you never listen to

And I had to break your heart to make you see

That he's the one who will be missing you

And you'll only miss the man

That you wanted him to be

Turn the radio on to drown out the sound of goodbye

Blink back the tears show me you've still got your pride

Just get yourself lost in a sad country song

Those guys that they play know just what to say turn the radio on

I'm the voice you never listen to

And I had to break your heart to make you see

That he's the one who will be missing you

And you'll only miss the man

That you wanted him to be

Shut up and drive

Don't look in the mirror

Turn the radio on

Get out of here

Shut up and drive

Shut up and drive

Shut up and drive
