I've actually thought about this before. Mine is definitely Cosmic Castaway by Electrasy



[SIZE="2"]Lose my head to the chemical freeway
Comin' up on overload
In a mystic new dimension
Purify and sanctify me
What, so I'm in no end game
Move my piece right off the board
Losing sure is easy so I am no more

But I'm not broken, in my dream I win
In here I'm nothing, a Cosmic Castaway

In my head I'm a chemical dreamer
Speed up to burn out mode
Comin' up in the 5th dimension
Beautify don't crucify me, yeah
So I need no mind game poisoning my lonely soul
Losing sure is easy so I am no more

But I'm not broken, in my dream I win
And I take over, coz I'm no loser
And I'm in and you're not, bad dreams don't stop
But I'm all screwed up, a Cosmic Castaway
a Cosmic Castaway, a Cosmic Castaway

And I want but have not
Bad dreams, lust thoughts
In here with no pain, you hurt me again
And I want but have none
I should beat the alien
But here I'm no one, a Cosmic Castaway
a Cosmic Castaway, a Cosmic Castaway
a Cosmic Castaway[/SIZE]

Lately?




No one means what they say
And you can tell as clear as deep-sea fish
All internal organs and glowing eyes
I’ve been good, I’ve been busy
I’ve realized my friend’s true intentions
Cut all ties
I’ve been doing ten thousand pushups a day
Plastic cube filled with pus that sits atop my supervisor’s desk
The feeling of ice on the inside of a wrist
Always tired, need a nap
I have to make myself brush my teeth
I’ve made a list of everything I’ve ever owned
When the days bring nothing new
And the sound of laughter makes you sick
And snide
You know you’ve got the jitters
Nothing’s wrong, I’m just fine
I’ve realized I just don’t like jokes
I’m thinking of moving I can’t call anyone back
You can tell every time they lean away
When you just want to talk
You couldn’t buy their interest now
Stolen cars in a heap
A naked body on the neighbor’s yard
When they let you down on cue
When you give up way before you even try
You know you’ve got
You’ve got the jitters
They glows as they near
Then disappear
Like highway signs on a starless night
And it’s so hard to tell who’s being fled
And who’s in flight

My name was lifted from a song.
Of course, this song relates to everyone. Unless you're not a human.

So here's to all you beautiful people.

Good grief, it does get a bit serious in here sometimes, so here's mine.




Naturally you'll believe me when I say the name of the artist is what I identify with, rather than the practice he's advocating.

There is no perfect song that I know of, though interesting enough I think it's easier to find "just one" rather than several that describe different stages of my life. I'd guess this would do it (I chose an AMV instead of the official vids because I thought it was far more interesting than high school girls shaking their hips on stage or the Cheetah Girls pretending to be high school girls dancing on stage as they sang it):




When I was just a little girl
My momma used to tuck me into bed
and she'd read me a story
It always was about a Princess in distress
And how a guy would save her and end up with the glory

I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I want to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself

Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants my soul, heart, and mind
Who's not afraid to show that he loves me
Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am
Don't need nobody taking care of me

I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me
When I give myself then it has to got to be, an equal thing

[Chorus]

I can slay my own dragons
I can dream, my own dreams
My knight in shining armour is me
So I'm gonna set me free

'Course even that has to be tweaked. Only Granny read to me (and only until I was 4), after that I learned to read for myself. And obviously I'm more interested in a princess than a prince.

But when I was age 5 something happened that taught me even though I couldn't depend on the crazy adults I could depend on myself, and that feeling stuck with me through my entire life to this day ("as the twig is bent"). I did grow up to rescue myself, and I'd also learned a great distrust of the metaphoric prince (be it in the form of the 'rents, courts, school, or friendly guy wanting to help me out) out to save me and I had to save myself (often from the so-called "prince"). To this day I'm my own knight.
