songs for post-breakup sadness

Artist: Saliva
Song: "Rest In Pieces"

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
'Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did
It has not healed with time
It just shot down my spine
You look so beautiful tonight
Reminds me how you laid us down
And gently smiled
Before you destroyed my life

Would you find it in your heart
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces?

Would you find it in your heart
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces?

Would you find it in your heart
To make it go away
And let me rest in pieces?

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
You got much closer than I thought you did
I'm in your reach
You held me in your hands
But could you find it in your heart
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces?

Would you find it in your heart
To make it go away
And let me rest in pieces?

PHIL COLLINS
That's What You Said


I remember the night you weren't at home
Had to work late is what I heard
That's what you said
I can never forget the way it felt,
you needed some time to work it out,
that's what you said
and now I feel a fool.
'Cos late at night I call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
'cos I've seen those other guys
sniffin' around your door.

Whatever happened to the words
'Lovers for all eternity?'
That's what you said,
I was your Romeo, you were my Juliet,
eternally
that's what you said
and now I feel a fool.
'Cos late at night I hear your voice
calling out my name,
oh I know it's just a dream
but every night's the same.

I carried a torch for you, through the thick and thin
you know it don't seem right that I won't see you again
No no
Late at night I call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
'cos I keep seeing those other guys
sniffin' around your door.

I carried a torch for you through the wind and rain
I'll never forget you, but I won't see you again
No no
I thought your friends all liked me
I thought I fitted in just right,
that's what you said.

Soon I'll be gone and you'll be free,
you can go find the things that you want.
That's what you said
and I won't feel a fool
'cos late at night I still call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
'cos I keep seeing those other guys
sniffin' around your door.
What for?

I tell you how I feel, but you don't care
I say tell me the truth but you don' t dare
You say love is a hell you cannot bear
And I say gimme mine back and then go there for all I care

I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds and you're not all what you seem
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise

I have never been so insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool just to be at my side
And now you run like a fool, but you just run to hide, and I don't abide

I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds and you're not all what you seem
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stiffled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise

Don't make it a big deal, don't be so sensitive
We're not playing a game anymore; you don't have to be so defensive
Don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain
Don't even show me your face, 'cuz it's a crying shame
Just go back to the rock from under which you came
Take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claim --
and don't forget the blame

I got my feet on the ground, and I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds, and you're not at all what you seem
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise

good one Luz, one of my favorites.

Espernaut, I've been trying to get yours on WinMx, but apparently it's popular because a bunch of people are trying to download it right now and it won't let me have it.

I think you'll like it. I like songs with a certain rhythemic speed but need lyrics that relate to me as well. This tune was used to assage past hurt feelings I'd had.
Do keep trying.

I will, most certainly. Your whole thing about songs needing a certain rhythmic speed/lyrics that relate to you, I can relate to that (lol). I'm not a huge fan of extremely slow music. But then, I also hate techno music, or anything with such a fast driving beat that it makes me feel like it's going to give me a seizure.

I don't know enough about the catagories to understand the merits of each. I like most kinds of music, and speeds, depends on my mood. Some techno is good.. but I get lost trying to understand the differences in rave, trance..etc.
Yes, there is such a thing as too fast. 'Made me smile about the seizure analogy. I agree!

I got this one. (After reading the above.) Is there a story behind your choice? (That you don't mind sharing..)

It's nice to hear something still in progress. Phoenix and I were kinda in the post "Stab~stab" genre. That and the song written from a male's point of view just stood out for me. Long distance does make it tough, I know.

"stab~stab"

lol, oh my -GOD-, I could never have said it better in a zillion years.

It started in trying to describe my work friends behavior, with an ex boyfriend. He loves me; he loves me not; I stabbed him. (She needed a smile.)

Where were you when I was all screwed up from my breakup? I could have used that laugh, dammit. 😛

See! You are like Aries! Wolf in the flock! Wolf in the Flock!! (stumble) *&^% well.. I never could run and talk in the same breath.

Actually Phoenix, I was getting pounded by a Pisces, at roughtly the same time you were dealing with your's.

second to last post cracked me up 🙂

Hmmm...so pretty recently then? I believe my breakup happened at approximately 8:00 pm on March 28.

My mistake. I realized I had troubles on Valentine's Day. Feb 14, things came to a head, between me and a friend of mine. It was a case of her not knowing what she wanted, yet continually coming over and confusing the issue. *code*
(say, this works pretty good now) Either commit to something or don't.. but don't keep offering, then disappearing for days, weeks..etc. It's taken since..1st March to NOT see her. (Well, I ended mine and I finally KNEW I'd sucessfully ended it, on that date.) You recall the terminal Virgo thing? I was very vocally nasty. The End.

Well, good for you (and I got the code. hehe, works QUITE well, I would say). It's better to do it that way I think, rather than having an hours long, tearful on both sides, horribly drawn out, confusing breakup like mine. I agree, you either make a full commitment, or you don't. Both people have to be on the same page.

Woo. Found you again. I'd say you method and mine were roughly the same. Only you had a relationship, and mine never (really) got started. It took me 4 months to realize it wasn't ever going to happen. And somehow, something had clicked. I didn't want to be friends, I'd wanted more. When we couldn't agree (and that would have been FINE) and she kept on in that confused state, I decided for both of us.

And that's why Virgos are necessary in the world. 🙂

You know.. "they" say that Virgo's are the single majority of all the Zodiac signs. I do not find that hopeful.
Different tack. Pisces & Virgo are polar opposites. Meaning each supposedly knows what the other wants. Abridged version.. I could have used that. Appreciated that.

But not every Pisces will be the right Pisces for you. Just like not every Taurus (if any) will be right for me (I've had a really hellish relationship experience with one in particular). I'm not sure what you mean by "single majority".

Meaning.. we tend to "stay" single. Not marry, or divorce, and not remarry. Brrr. That's ominous.
True about Pisces.. that one at any rate. I've admitted eslewhere I'd really love a tie breakeer. I meant that too.

I dated a couple Pisceans...a bit too fluid and drifty-like for my taste. Not good staying or holding power. Good luck on your quest for a new one.

I don't know if that's true about Virgos, but one thing is true about them, this I know: they are the most "different" of all the signs. Thank God.

Ouch. How different?

No ouch. No no no. It's a GREAT, MOST AWESOME thing. TRUST me. There is a particular Virgo I dated, who I think of as the love of my life. Your different-ness is exactly what I dig about you (Virgos, hehee).

🙂

Very well. My brethen are upholding the code. Back to KeyBoard entry and Signing off. (you'll see.)

I've been reminded of a good tune I'd overlooked
RE: songs for post break up sadness:

Where Were You When I Needed You (Grass Roots)

Don't bother cryin, don't bother crawlin
It's all over now, no use in stallin
The love I once felt, I don't feel anymore for you
This time I'll even, open the door for you
You walked out when I was down
Well now I'm well off
And look, look who's comin round


Well you're lookin good, it's hard to fight it
But no use explainin, I've already decided
That livin with you, it's worse than without ya
I won't spend a lifetime a worryin about ya
Oh, things got rough and you disappeared
Now I'm back on my feet
But look, look who's standing there


Well you were so young, and you were so wild
I knew you were nobody's innocent child
That first day I saw you, you really got to me
I thought I could change you, what good did it do me
Oh, things got rough and you wouldn't wait
Now you're tripping back
But babe, babe it's too late

Where were you when I needed ya
Where were you when I wanted ya
Where were you when I needed ya
Where..ere...ere

Never heard this one, I'll have to give it a listen.

Damn, revivng 12 year old threads... Rest in pieces by saliva is one of my ultimate favorite break up songs. All this thread did was make me feel old because I listened to song through my first break up and it was new! Lol. Geeze. Never gets old though.

Right? I saw this thread active so I had to contribute.

And then I noticed it is probably the oldest thread on dxpnet.

Wow.. This thread is 13 years old!

Yes. The oldest thread I know which is more or less still active.

Well then, here's to another 13 years - heartbreak is timeless afterall.

I wish you peace when the cold winds blow

Warmed by the fire's glow

I wish you comfort in the, the lonely time

And arms to hold you when you ache inside

I wish you hope when things are going bad

Kind words when times are sad

I wish you shelter from the, the raging wind

Cooling waters at the fever's end

I wish you peace when times are hard

The light to guide you through the dark

And when storms are high and your, your dreams are low

I wish you the strength to let love grow on

I wish you the strength to let love flow

I wish you peace when times are hard

A light to guide you through the dark

And when storms are high and your, you dreams are low

I wish you the strength to let let grown on

I wish you the strength to let love flow on

I wish you the strength to let love glow on

I wish you the strength to let love go

There might have been things I missed

But don't be unkind

It don't mean I'm blind

Perhaps there's a thing or two

I think of lying in bed

I shouldn't have said

But there it is

You see it's all clear

You were meant to be here

From the beginning

Maybe I might have changed

And not been so cruel

Not been such a fool

Whatever was done is done

I just can't recall

It doesn't matter at all

You see it's all clear

You were meant to be here

From the beginning
