Which specific song truly reflects you?

songs come and go that define me I'm currently between two. Going from

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8tSXFH2SS8"]YouTube- "Failure" - Sevendust[/ame]
To
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShtAtZEMGUY"]YouTube- Breaking Benjamin - I Will Not Bow[/ame]
 
I feel like this song's sound and lyrics are pretty reflective of what goes on inside my brain.

Sarah Slean - Drastic Measures

I should go to drastic measures
Steal enormous works of art
Write a piece for eighteen violins
It's no march, but it's a start

Rub their eyes and wake distracted
Frantically, they fill their days
Please say I will never be like that-
Safe
Politely dazed
Politely crazy

Don't you want my love?
It's a cloud, it's a broken boat
But it might make you laugh a bit
Easier
I'm like the trees in the midnight parks
Oozing danger, igniting sparks
We've been left by the viaducts
With the last flame of the universe

I never held a truer notion
Than when my dear I held your hand
May your shadow always follow you
Through
Our get-away plan
Our master plan

Don't you want my love?
It's a cloud, it's a broken boat
But it might make you laugh a bit
Easier
I'm like the trees in the midnight parks
Oozing danger, igniting sparks
We've been left by the viaducts
With the last flame of the universe

Sum 41 - Some Say
This song encompasses my attitude toward a lot of people I hang around. A desire for them to see I'm stronger than they think I am and I can handle their problems.

Staind - So Far Away
Sometimes I can't believe I am where I am today. I grew up with people generally ignoring me and I never put much stock in my dreams. That's different now. Now I own my past and put it behind me.

"Yeah you're punk enough, well yeah that's good enough for me
The firesides all the way across town
If i didn't beg then I know you'd never come down
Little girl, sitting at home
I guess I'll stay here cause you know I'd rather hang around with you
Than practically anyone else
I fall into your arms and the show starts to fade away.
None of those punk rock kids even know
Punk Rock Girl

Don't have your nipples pierced
A Rancid raver's tee
Bright orange hair or cut off jeans
You're not as punk as the punk rock girls I've seen
But hey, your shit is punk enough
And yeah that's good enough for me

Went to Hoffman estates
You missed the show
I know you don't give a fuck about punk
So it means a lot that you even came out
To see bands that you couldn't give a shit about
Oh, he's gone now, we're only 2/3
We played this song way before it had any words
Even then I knew it would be about you"

-Almost Punk Enough by Slapstick
 
Billy Joel, "River of Dreams"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNS4pV9Pls0

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
>From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something scared I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of a blind
In the middle of the night

I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promized land

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To a river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

This song always puts me in the best mood!
 
Still the two above for me and this

On a good day this song feels like the crazy happy energy I feel:

When I'm feeling sad I relate to this song lyrically the best:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghPcYqn0p4Y"]YouTube- Sia - Breathe Me[/ame]
 
Staind - For You
Every time I listen to that song I'm thankful that my parents accept me for who I am, sort of. I'm lucky that I didn't end up in a hateful home like Raccoon has to deal with right now. Not that I had the greatest childhood ever. But I'll take ignored over hated any day. It's a good thing I can manage to pay for college on my own.
 
My emotional being, to it's absolute core:

Apparat - You Don't Know Me
Genre: Electronic/IDM

My mind in every aspect:

Apparat - Limelight

I can not convey how accurate these songs represent my mind and emotions.
 
Which song (not songs) do you think best reflects who you are as a person/an individual?
I gotta say I spent an embarrassing amount of time scouring the booklets of every CD I own to answer this question. I found a lot of good ones but I think this one, in it's simplicity, reflects me the best.

"So hold your head up high and know it's not the end of the road
Walk down this beaten path before you pack your things and head home
At the end of the road you'll find what you've been longing for

I know 'cause my feet have the scars to show
I was lost with vague direction and no place to home

It's time for you to press on
This is not your war
Set your sights to North and press on
This is not your escape
Wash away what they thought of you
Because in this place, we're all as good as dead
...end cycle...

Behind the mask you'll find yourself alone
It's not the end of road for you"
