Mah’s Joint - Jon Bellion

“When my mother was a mother to my mom”

Always brings me to tears

Product of my Own Design - Artio

“Get on your knees and pray to me
The problem child becomes the only God you'll ever see
You made me believe that I was never mine
I made my goddamn self, a product of my own design”

This song is fairly explicitly about being trans and struggling being seen as who you really are by family. It’s not really trying to be sad about it though, more empowering in spite of that struggle. Great song.

Numb by Linkin Park

Bo Burnham - That Funny Feeling

Sum 41 Pieces

Seatbelts - Gotta Knock a Little Harder

I like the question.

I had to think of two songs immediately:

Coldplay - Magic. I really feel the lyrics but the "of course I do" at the end always leaves me in tears.

Daft Punk - Touch. I always interpret the song as a robot struggling to become sentient, but it also reminds me of my process of leaving behind my angry and frustrated teen and early twenties self because I realized that it made me unhappy.

Gambino - Lithonia

probably lemon tree by fools garden

Falling In Reverse & Jellyroll - All My Life,

Fox Stevenson - Don’t Care Crown,

Quinn XCII - Tough

Fuck The World by ICP, specifically the Richard Cheese cover - Fuck The World

Y'all ready for this by 2 Unlimited

""" And I know you're going crazy

And I know you're going broke

And you're sitting here and laughing like that's some kind of joke, but I'm not laughing

And I want you to be careful

And I want you to be smart

I don't want you to romanticize falling the fuck apart

And I want you to remember that you're better

And I love you and I'll see you tomorrow """

One of the more powerful supportive songs I know.

"The tears I might have shed for your dark fate grow cold and turn to tears of hate."

From The Phantom of the Opera, after being cheated on and physically abused by my ex. He's a widower and used it as an excuse for his behavior.

Why does a song have to have lyrics in order to evoke strong emotion?

I have no clue. I don't listen to lyrics because ADHD. The voice is just another instrument to me.

it's a little sappy but Chappel Roan's Red Wine Supernova is what finally broke through my thick skull and cracked my egg 7 or so months ago. Specifically the line about standing there in gogo boots and a short skirt waiting for a pretty girl to bite on you. I kept listening to it over over and i just thought it was neat and then this lightbulb went off and i realized oh hey i want that to be me. I'm the girl in the skirt wanting to be bit!

It's All White Noise by Charli Morgan.

I just wanna be something good. I just wanna leave something decent. I just wanna make something I don't hate.
