Post a song that describes who you are as a person

Here’s for my chill side.
And my complicated side.

For my years in LA.

It’s also a jab about being called “WOMAN” by someone.

So, basically, what you need to do is go on YouTube, and find a song that describes who you are as a person. It can be serious or funny.

If you would like to, please type out a little description with the song, to further explain yourself. In this way, we can learn more about each other, whilst expressing ourselves.

I'll go first.

Actually I have two. Not necessarily describing me as a person, but describing much of my life and how I often feel.

Moving Pictures -- What About Me?

Simon & Garfunkel -- I Am a Rock

One is about being pushed aside by society, the other is isolating yourself to avoid pain. Both hit me pretty hard.

Where I’m at in life. Every word hits my center.

Spoiler: Lyrics

How could he know this new dawn’s light would change his life forever?
Set sail to sea, but pulled off course by the light of golden treasure
Was he the one causing pain with his careless dreaming?
Been afraid, always afraid of the things he’s feeling
He could just be gone
He would just sail on
He’ll sail on

How can I be lost if I’ve got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold, how come it’s got so cold?
How can I be lost? In rememberance I relive
And how can I blame you when it’s me I can’t forgive?

These days drift on inside a fog, it’s thick and suffocating
He’s seeking life, outside it’s hell, inside, intoxicating
He’s run aground, like his life, water much too shallow
Slipping fast, down with his ship, fading in the shadows
Now a castaway
They’ve all gone away
They’ve gone away

How can I be lost if I’ve got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold, how come it’s got so cold?
How can I be lost? In rememberance I relive
And how can I blame you when it’s me I can’t forgive?

Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me
Why can’t I forgive me?

Set sail to sea, but pulled off course by the light of golden treasure
How could he know this new dawn’s light would change his life forever?

How can I be lost if I’ve got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold, how come it’s got so cold?
How can I be lost? In rememberance I relive
And how can I blame you when it’s me I can’t forgive?

My inner soul

Spoiler: Lyrics

Join in, join in, my child, and listen
Digging through my old, numb shadow
My shadow’s shedding skin
I’ve been picking my scabs again
I’m down, digging through
My old muscle for a clue

I’ve been crawling on my belly, clearing out what could have been
I’ve been wallowing in my own confused and insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over or a word to guide me in
I wanna feel the changes coming down, I wanna know what I’ve been hiding

In my shadow, my shadow
Change is coming through
My shadow, shedding skin
I’ve been picking my scabs again

Join in, join in, my child
Shadow’s closer to meaning

I’ve been crawling on my belly, clearing out what could have been
I’ve been wallowing in my own chaotic, insecure delusions
I wanna feel the change consume me, feel the outside turning in
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and cleansing I’ve endured

In my shadow, my shadow
Change is coming, now is my time
Listen to my muscle memory
Contemplate what I’ve been clinging to
Forty-six and two ahead of me

I choose to live and to grow
Take and give and to move
Learn and love and to cry
Kill and die and to
Be paranoid and to lie
Hate and fear and to do
What it takes to move through
I choose to live and to lie
Kill and give and to lie
Learn and love and to do
What it takes to step through

See my shadow changing, stretching up and over me
Soften this old armor, hoping I can clear the way by
Stepping through my shadow and coming out the other side
Step into the shadow
Forty-six and two are just ahead of me

In the service of my soul
Let there always be forgiveness

I first heard this song at a nightclub when I was in college and it really resounded with me.
There is one incorrect lyric, it's supposed to say "throwing pirouettes around the stars" but I couldn't find a lyric video with the correct words. So this will have to do.
The lyrics "Let your colors run tonight, we're painting in the dark/the colors of your heart" really describe me, I think.
