If my life were a movie, this would be the soundtrack (now with videos!)

This is a meme I've done before, and I thought it was worth redoing as some things in life had changed / improved / fallen apart, etc. Plus I've found more songs I identify with better.


1. Engel Rammstein listen
2. So Cold Breaking Benjamin listen
3. Anthem Good Charlotte listen
4. Full Moon Sonata Arctica listen
5. Somewhere I Belong Linkin Park listen
6. In The End Linkin Park listen
7. Chasing Cars Snow Patrol listen
8. I'm Not Okay (I Promise) My Chemical Romance listen
9. The Middle Jimmy Eat World listen
10. Changes David Bowie listen
11. American Idiot Green Day listen
12. Blue Monday Orgy listen
13. Just Like You Three Days Grace listen
14. Helena My Chemical Romance listen
15. Let's Live For Today Grass Roots listen
16. Fix You Coldplay listen


Yeah. There's a lot of songs I like but didn't end up on the soundtrack for various reasons (mostly cuz I tried to pick songs that at least vaguely actually apply to me personally). There are a couple on there that are songs I like whether they have anything to do with me or not. So yeah anyways... if you care to read on, there's special/relavent bits of the soundtrack songs typed out en masse in the following link: aww you clicked teh link... hi! xD


1. Engel Rammstein

Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein (God knows I don't want to be an angel)

2. So Cold Breaking Benjamin

You're so cold
Keep your hand in mine...

...You're so cold, but you feel alive


3. Anthem Good Charlotte

I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
And I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be

You...don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem
throw all your hands up, you, don't wanna be you


4. Full Moon Sonata Arctica

...in sickness and in health...

She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run away)
Fullmoon is on the sky and He's not a man anymore
She sees the change in him but can't
(run away run away, run away)
See what became out of her man... Full moon


5. A Place For My Head Linkin Park

I’m so
Sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest


6. In The End Linkin Park

I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

...I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end


7. Chasing Cars Snow Patrol

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough...

...Forget what we're told
Before we get too old


8. I'm Not Okay (I Promise) My Chemical Romance

What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I've told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means
(I'm not okay)


9. The Middle Jimmy Eat World

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright)...

...Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.


10. Changes David Bowie

And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
Theyre quite aware of what theyre going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
Dont tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
Wheres your shame
Youve left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you cant trace time


11. American Idiot Green Day

...I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along to the age of paranoia.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.


12. Blue Monday Orgy

How does it feel?
How should I feel?
Tell me how does it feel?
To treat me like you do...

...And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today


13. Just Like You Three Days Grace

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you...

...You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you


14. Helena My Chemical Romance

What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight


15. Let's Live For Today Grass Roots

When I think of all the worries people seem to find
And how they're in a hurry to complicate their mind
By chasing after money and dreams that can't come true
I'm glad that we are different, we've better things to do


16. Fix You Coldplay

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep...

...But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth...

...Tears stream down your face
And I..

...Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

I never heard of any of those songs but Engel and Engel is one of my all time fav Rammstein songs (probably tied with Du Hast).

[identity profile] tirsden.livejournal.com 2007-03-23 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Most of them are angst rock plus a couple heavy metal, pretty easy to find the tunes on YouTube... hmm in fact I could include links myself LOL. And yeah, Engel is my fave song altho So Cold is trying to take over. xD
