WHINE. BITCH. MOAN. GamingForce CD Soundtrack

While I like Cash's version better, I'd definitely say the NiN version is much more appropriate on this soundtrack.

How ya doing, buddy?

I strongly embraced the present

I'm not sure if it was really like that
I'm not sure I did what she told me to
"A rusty knife hurts, doesn't it?"

Okay, that's it In order to not lose anything,
I strongly embraced the present

She asked if I had seen the seasons pass, and
It was all passing by me
"Every bit of you is bad, you know"

Okay, that's it So that I wouldn't cry,
I strongly embraced the present

I strongly embraced the present

Although it's in Japanese, the translation is totally emo. Give it a listen!

I listened to the song, and I must say, it's not DEPRESSING enough.
If I hadn't looked at the lyrics I would've thought it was Japan trying to be 90s Seattle grunge.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

hmm not sure.. how about Avril Lavign?

Avril Lavign - My Happy Ending

Spoiler:

So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

(Chorus)
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

(Chorus)

It's nice to know you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

(Chorus x2)

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Avril Lavign - Nobody's Home

Spoiler:

I couldn't tell you why she felt that way,
She felt it everyday.
And I couldn't help her,
I just watched her make the same mistakes again.

What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

Open your eyes and look outside, find a reasons why.
You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind.
Be strong, be strong now.
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

Her feelings she hides.
Her dreams she can't find.
She's losing her mind.
She's fallen behind.
She can't find her place.
She's losing her faith.
She's fallen from grace.
She's all over the place.
Yeah,oh

She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah
She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah

oh I just thought of one... not sure about extreme angsty... the Kill Bill song "Bang Bang"

Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang (My baby shot me down)

Spoiler:

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.

Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.

Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down...

Mariah Carey - We Belong Together

Spoiler:

I didn't mean it
When I said I didn't love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should've let you go
I didn't know nothing
I was stupid
I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I could not fathom that I would ever
Be without your love
Never imagined I'd be
Sitting here beside myself

'Cause I didn't know you
'Cause I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt
The feeling that I'm feeling now
Now that I don't
Hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
Cause I don't have a choice
Oh, what I wouldn't give
To have you lying by my side
We belong together

(Chorus)
When you left
I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody there
We belong together

I can't sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Singing to me
'If you think you're lonely now'
Wait a minute
This is too deep, too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
I only think of you
And it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart
I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things
Crying
Trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain't even half of what
I'm feeling inside
I need you
Need you back in my life baby

(Chorus)

(Repeat chorus)
When you left
I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
Baby nobody else
We belong together

The Moffatts - Misery

Spoiler:

I cry myself to sleep again tonight.
'Cause I cannot hold you tight.
I wish I could see you again tomorrow
To take all this sorrow, sorrow, I'm hallow

(Bridge)
When I touch you
Can you feel it
When I need you
Can you give it
When I look in your eyes
Can you see me
When I fall, fall
Will you catch me, catch me, catch me

(Chorus)
Misery is what I feel
When you're not around
So I can't heal
Misery is what i feel
Is what I feel

These tears on my face
Are for you
I wish that I could hold you,
Touch you, feel you
My heart is bleeding
Can't you see
I wish that you could hold me,
Touch me, feel me

(bridge)
(chorus repeat twice)

I'm starting to think these songs aren't as angsty as I thought they were...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm starting to think that too, give me some real ANGST... I don't want to start a Backstreet Boys pop reunion CD.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Saosin - I Can Tell
Saosin - Bury Your Head
Bleeding Through - What I Bleed Without You
Smoke or Fire - Cryin' Shame

And just for comedic effect:

Tv on the Radio - Freeway
The Magnetic Fields - I Wish I Had an Evil Twin

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Haha, sure. I get where you're coming from. Just for clarification, we're looking for stuff that sounds angsty as well, eh?

Not very depressing really : / more like generic emo

I would suggest The Drugs Don't Work by The Verve. The songs about his dad dying from cancer

Spoiler:

The Drugs Don't Work - The Verve

All this talk of getting old
All this talk of getting old
It’s getting me down my love
It’s getting me down my love

or Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

Spoiler:

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
running over the same old ground. What have we found?
The same old fears,
wish you were here.

Most amazing jew boots

I will not stand for this. Pink Floyd will NOT be on this album. Wish You Were Here isn't even angsty in this sense.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Maybe the final track could be NoFX - All Outta Angst. You know just to show that we've angst's ourselves out.

Placebo - Teenage Angst should probably be included somewhere.

Spoiler:

Shine the headlight, straight into my eyes.
Like the roadkill, I'm paralysed.
You see through my disguise

At the drive-in, double feature,
pull the lever, break the fever
and say your last goodbyes.

Since I was born I started to decay.
Now nothing ever ever goes my way

One fluid gesture, like stepping back in time.
Trapped in amber, petrified.
And still not satisfied

Airs and social graces, elocution so divine.
I'll stick to my needle, and my favourite waste of time,
both spineless and sublime.

Since I was born I started to decay.
Now nothing ever - ever goes my way.

Taking Back Sunday - Cute Without the E (Cut from the Team)
An absolute tour de force from TBS here, you will not find more emo and angst crammed into 3 minutes and 33 seconds.

Your lipstick, his collar...
Don't bother Angel
I know exactly what goes on

When everything you'll get is
everything that you've wanted, princess
(well which would you prefer)
My finger on the trigger, or
(me face down, down across your floor)
me face down, down across your floor
(me face down, down across your floor)
Well just so long as this thing's loaded

And will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head?
This all was only wishful thinkin',
this all was only wishful thinkin'
And will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head?
This all was only wishful thinkin',

Let's go...

Don't bother trying to explain Angel
I know exactly what goes on when you're on and
how about I'm outside of your window
(how about I'm outside of your window?)
watchin him keep the details covered?
You're such a sucker (you're such a sucker)
for a sweet talker, yeah

And will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head?
This all was only wishful thinkin',
this all was only wishful thinkin'
(the only thing I regret is that I, I never let you hold me back)
And will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head?
This all was only wishful thinkin',
this all was only wishful thinkin'

Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you'll never love me

(why can't I feel anything from anyone other than you?)

And all of this was all your fault
And all of this...

I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
for this simple reason I
just need to keep you in mind

I'm also amazed how far this thread ahs gone without anyone bearing the Dashboard Confessionals a mention. I mean they are the most popular band on myspace. What should that tell you? I can't however recommend any of their songs as they're all shit.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The Emo Song-Adam and Andrew

Come on, is there any really discussion needed for this?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

2. Korn - Thoughtless

Thanks for reading the part where I said "NO LINKIN PARK REQUESTS."
Also, thanks for ruining an almost 2 page streak of no LP requests.

As for Simple Plan, I agree that Untitled is totally suited for the CD.

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Nickel Creek - "Can't Complain"

Spoiler:

i made her smile i made her cry,
i cleared her head and made her wonder why,
i helped her live and made her want to die,
but she can't complain,
she tried to date a friend of mine,
i was at his house when she came to say goodbye,
he stood her up she took it as a sign,
and i can't complain,
we took off for the weekend and had quite a time,
we shared everything we'd ever tried,
i told her i could love her i told her i could lie,
so she can't complain,
she moved here and bought the first house she could find,
i moved in and we locked ourselves inside,
i guess we just kidnapped each others minds,
so we can't complain,
i cheated on her with a friend of mine,
and there are no days when we don't fight,
but remember i warned her and i'm a guy,
so she can't complain

Dream Theater - "Endless Sacrifice" or "Solitary Shell"

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hawthorne Heights - Where Do I Stab Myself In The Ears

Spoiler:

I guess I could've sent a letter from the road
With words that always meant more then updates on the phone
The signals fading fast and the ink is running out
The words repeating as I'm better from my mouth

Please hold me tightly, I don't care if I can breathe tonight
Forget these lungs their jealousy your burning up but I can't leave this all behind
Forget these lungs their jealousy your burning up but I can't leave this all behind

Behind your back talking like knives
And I can hardly breathe
Sharpen your tongue the rest of your life
And I can not believe anything that you say

Please hold me tightly, I don't care if I can breathe tonight
Forget these lungs their jealousy your burning up but I can't leave this all behind
Forget these lungs their jealousy your burning up but I can't leave this all behind

So your the fire and I'm the water
I am the balance and you are the color
I wont forget you when we're not together
This is the ending, it's my surrender

(So your the fire and I'm the water

Hey there,
I know it's hard to feel like I don't care at all.
Where you are and how you feel.

Because my heart is in Ohio.

So cut my wrists and black my eyes. (Cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight or die.
Because you kill me.
You know you do, you kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until my final breath is gone.

Spare me just three last words.
"I love you" is all she heard.
I'll wait for you, but I can't wait forever.

You like it too and i can tell
You never stop until my final breath is gone

How ya doing, buddy?

Why didn't I think of Hawthorne Heights? I thought I was the most generically emo kid on this board.

Ohio is for lovers is a great song because it reminds me of the band Virgina Is For Lovers.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

johnette napolitano - suicide note

Spoiler:

Every night
You wrote another line
With a bloody, broken, bottle
And every day
You wish it away
Why don't you pull the pin
On that grenade
You cuddle

I wanted to believe
Bodies swinging from trees
Struggling to stand
With your head in your hands
A stoic last stand
Of a dying man

I wanted to believe
As I watched your world
Crumble in your hands
I wanted to believe
As you raised your glass
To your last stand
And I wanted to believe
You would win
The war in your head
That I did not understand
That I did not understand

Every night
The questions poured out
Of your wounded eyes
Damn dark things
Every day
You used to pray
Listen to the black raven sing
You wanted to believe
As you were falling to your knees
Struggling to stand
With your life in your hand
The sad last stand
Of a broken man

I wanted to believe
As I watched your world
Crumble in your hands
I wanted to believe
As you raised your glass
To your last stand
And I wanted to believe
You would win
The war in your head
That I did not understand
That I did not understand

I wanted to believe
As I watch your world
Crumble in your hands
I wanted to believe
As you raised your glass
To your last stand
And I wanted to believe
You would win
The war in your head
That I did not understand
That I did not understand

And the questions pour out
And the questions pour out
I did not understand
I did not understand
I did not understand
I did not understand
The sound of you falling
I did not understand
As the trembling heart of a man
Did not understand
The sound of a trembling heart

EMOOOO

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Weezer - Say It Ain't So

Spoiler:

Somebody's Heine'
Is crowdin' my icebox
Somebody's cold one
Is givin' me chills
Guess I'll just close my eyes

Oh yeah, alright
Feels good, inside

Flip on the tele'
Wrestle with Jimmy
Something is bubbling
Behind my back
The bottle is ready to blow

Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker

I can't confront you
I never could do
That which might hurt you
To try and be cool

When I say
This way is a waterslide away from me
That takes you further every day
So be cool

Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker

Dear Daddy, I write you
In spite of years of silence

You've cleaned up, found Jesus
Things are good or so I hear

This bottle of Stevens
Awakens ancient feelings

Like father, stepfather
The son is drowning in the flood, yeah

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers - Hospital

Spoiler:

When you get out of the hospital
Let me back into your life
I can't stand what you do
I'm in love with your eyes

And when you get out of the dating bar
I'll be here to get back into your life
I can't stand what you do
I'm in love with your eyes

I can't stand what you do
Sometimes I can't stand you
It makes me think about me
That I'm involved with you

...But I'm in love with this power that shows through in your eyes

I go to bakeries all day long
There's a lack of sweetness in my life
And there's pain inside
You can see it in my eyes

There is pain inside
You can see it in my eyes
It makes me think about me
That I've lost my pride

...But I'm in love with this power that resides in your eyes

You live in modern apartments
Well I've even got scared once or twice
Last time I walked down your street
There were tears in my eyes

Well now these streets we all know
They help us cry when we're alone late at night
Don't you love them too?
Is that where you got your eyes?

Oh I can't stand what you do
Sometimes I can't stand you
It makes me think about me
How I'm involved with you

...But I'm in love with this power that shows through in your eyes

Your world---it is beautiful
I'll take the subway to your suburb sometimes
I'll seek out the things that must've been magic to you little girl mind

Now as a little girl you must've been magic
I still get jealous of your old boyfriends in the suburbs sometimes
And when I walk down your street
There'll probably be tears in my eyes

(I knew it would happen)

I can't stand what you do
Sometimes I can't stand you
It makes me think about me
That I'm involved with you

...But I'm in love with this power that shows through in your eyes

So when you get out of the hospital
Let me back into your life
I can't stand what you do
But I'm in love with your eyes

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Alicia Keys - Nobody Not Really

Spoiler:

Who really cares?
Who really cares?
When I talk?
What I feel?
What I say?
Nobody not really

Who wants to take
The time to understand
I would like someone to heal me with some empathy
But I can't find…
Nobody not really

Maybe I'm invisible to the world
Does anyone in the world even think of me?
As more than just a hopeless cause
Maybe the world is not my block

My stoop
My life
My dreams
My anything, anything

Who wants to help?
Mama, but she's so tired
Papa, but you're not here
I'm alone in a big empty space with
Nobody not really

How ya doing, buddy?

Mineral - Parking Lot

Spoiler:

I wouldn't mind if you took me in my sleep tonight
I wouldn't even put up a fight
I wouldn't care if you took it all away today
I'm sure I wouldn't even miss the pain

But I know I've got to live my life
And roll around on the ground and feel the strife
And realize along the way that I'm nothing more
Than a grain of salt in the salt of the earth
And everything is grace

So come on with the darkness
Come on with the fear
Cause I've got to start somewhere
And it might as well be here

When I'm finally naked and standing in the sunlight
I'll look back at all of this selfishness and foolish pride
And laugh at myself

I'm 99% sure the song is about suicide and that the title, 'Parking Lot', is a reference to a graveyard (a parking lot for bodies).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The Dresden Dolls - Bad Habit

Spoiler:

biting keeps your words at bay
tending to the sores that stay
happiness is just a gash away
when i open a familiar scar
pain goes shooting like a star
comfort hasn't failed to follow so far...

and you might say it's self-indulgent
you might say its self-destructive
but, you see, it's more productive
than if i were to be healthy

pens and penknives take the blame
crane my neck and scratch my name
but the ugly marks
are worth the momentary gain...
when i jab a sharpened object in
choirs of angels seem to sing
hymns of hate in memorandum

and you might say it's self-indulgent
and you might say it's self-destructive
but, you see, it's more productive
than if i were to be happy

and sappy songs about sex and cheating
bland accounts of two lovers meeting
make me want to give mankind a beating

and you might say it's self-destructive
but, you see, i'd kick the bucket
sixty times before i'd kick the habit

and as the skin rips off i cherish the revolting thought
that even if i quit
there's not a chance in hell i'd stop
and anyone can see the signs
mittens in the summertime
thank you for your pity, you are too kind

and you might say its self-inflicted
but you see that's contradictive
why on earth would anyone practice self destruction?

and pain opinions are sitcom feeding
they dont know that their minds are teething
makes me want to give mankind a beating

i'm tried bandages and sinking
i've tried gloves and even thinking
i've tried vaseline
i've tried everything
and no-one cares if your back is bleeding
they're concerned with their hair receding
looking back it was all maltreating
every thought that occurred misleading

makes me want to give myself a beating....

The Dresden Dolls - Shores of California

Spoiler:

he’s been trying with limited success
to get this girl to let him get into her dress
but every time he thinks he’s getting close
she threatens death before he gets a chance

that’s the way it is in minnesota
and that’s the way it is in Oklahoma
that’s the way it’s been since protozoa
first climbed onto the shores of California

she’s been trying with limited success
to get him to turn out the lights and dance
cause like any girl all she really wants
is that fickle little bitch romance
that fickle little bitch romance

and that is why a girl is called a tease
and that is why a guy is called a sleaze
and that’s why god made escort agencies
one life to live and mace and GHB

and that’s the way it is in minnesota
that’s the way it is in Oklahoma homa
that’s the way since the animals and noah
first climbed onto shores of California

must not be too kind
stop thinking love is blind
clench your fists, yeah right
she's just not my type

why all these conflicting specifications
maybe to prevent overpopulation
all I know is that all around the nation
the girls are cryin’ and boys are masturbatin’

that’s the way it is in Minnesota
and that’s the way it is in Oklahoma homa
the way since Aristophanes and homer
wrote the iliad and lysistrata

that’s the way it is in minnesota
and that’s the way it is in Oklahoma homa
that’s the way it’s been since protozoa
first climbed onto the shores of California

Haha. I love Mineral, I can't believe I overlooked them.

I'll add Gloria Record - Miserere to this list as well.

Spoiler:

A disconcerting way to wake: to find everything in place
the world goes on without my faith in anything
to have to drag myself from bed, pull a sweater over my head
(somehow find a way to brave the sun again).
And all of this just as I was beginning to have the most amazing dream.
They rolled the stones away
and let everyone come right in and say hello to me.
They picked me up and held me there
and smiled at my crumpled wings.
And all of this just as I was beginning to have the most amazing dream.
And when you go to sleep at night, don't you ever feel the weight
of all the things that make you happy;
that float around you, pull you down?
And don't you ever want to stand up on the waves and run?

Most amazing jew boots

<shrug> This song always made me feel sad/happy.

Brand New - Play Crack The Sky

Lyrics:

Brand New - Play Crack The Sky Lyrics


Sent out the s.o.s. Call.
It was a quarter past four in the morning
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
Four months at sea, four months of calm seas to be pounded
In the shallows off the tip of Montauk Point.
They call them rogues; they travel fast and alone--
one-hundred-foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong.
What they call love is a risk, to always get hit out of nowhere
By some wave and end up on your own.

A hole in the hull defied the crew's attempts, to bail us out.
It flooded the engine and radio, half-buried bow.

Your tongue is a rudder.
It steers the whole ship, sends your words past your lips,
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
But the wrong words will strand you, come off-course while you sleep,
Sweep your boat out to sea or dashed to bits on the reef.

The vessel groans; the ocean pressures its frame.
To the port I see the lighthouse through the sleet and the rain.
And I wish for one more day to give my love and repay debts,
But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west.

They say that the captain stays fast with the ship through still and storm.
But this ain't the Dakota; the water's cold. (So cold.)
Won’t have to fight for long.

(This is the end.)
This story's old, (this is the end) but it goes on and on until we disappear.
(This is the calm.)
Calm me and let me (this is the calm) taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath.
(We are the resin)
i am the one (we are the resin) who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea.
(After the storm.)
I spoke the words (after the storm) but never gave a thought to what they all could mean.
(Rest here with thee,)
i know that this (rest here with thee) is what you want.
(Washed up on the beach.)
A funeral keeps both of us apart.
You know (washed up on the beach.) that you are not alone.
I need you like water in my lungs.

(This is the end.)
This story's old, (this is the end) but it goes on and on until we disappear.
(This is the calm.)
Calm me and let me taste (this is the calm) the salt you breathed while you were underneath.
(We are the resin)
i am the one who (we are the resin) haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea.

This thread seems to have served its time and purpose. Unstuck and closed.
