So I have heard many songs that have touched me over the years. One of these I will explain to you.

"Snuff" by my all time favorite band Slipknot if what I am talking about. Here are the lyrics and these are property of Slipknot, not me.

"Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again...

So if you love me, let me go. And run away before I know.
My heart is just too dark to care. I can't destroy what isn't there.
Deliver me into my Fate - If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you...
My smile was taken long ago / If I can change I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your light
But all of that was ripped apart... when you refused to fight

So save your breath, I will not hear. I think I made it very clear.
You couldn't hate enough to love. Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren't my friend. Then I could hurt you in the end.
I never claimed to be a Saint...
My own was banished long ago / It took the Death of Hope to let you go

So Break Yourself Against My Stones
And Spit Your Pity In My Soul
You Never Needed Any Help
You Sold Me Out To Save Yourself
And I Won't Listen To Your Shame
You Ran Away - You're All The Same
Angels Lie To Keep Control...
My Love Was Punished Long Ago
If You Still Care, Don't Ever Let Me Know
If you still care, don't ever let me know..."


This song speaks to me about my ex. I was obsessed with her. So in love I could not see straight. So in love I did not see her break up with me. After that I sunk into a deep deep depression. I used women like drugs, drank so heavily I could not think or see straight, and often thought of ending it all. That was until I did something I tell everyone not to do, I gave up hope, I let it die.

I did not give up on the hope of life, just the hope of ever being with her again. I did this because I started looking back at our relationship. I will spare you the details of it all, but I will say it needed fixing, bad. Not on my part, but hers.

But basically this song speaks to me about how I felt after the breakup. Now, now I feel so much better because I let her go, I said goodbye and never looked back. The last lyrics sum it up. I still care about her, but if she cares about me, do not let me know because I have moved on and I am better now.

So I want to know, what songs and lyrics speak to you, and why? I have others I can share as well if you all like.
