We all experienced days when we couldnโt put our feelings into words and took comfort in the simple pleasure of listening to a song. Sometimes, the songs acted as our diaries translating our every feeling to beautiful lullabies. Other times, they were our secret keepers, the only thing we could develop a connection with. In a way, music has always been there for us, through the hard times and the good times. Letโs take a look back on lyrics that were more than just words to us.
1. When we lost ties with people who used to mean a lot to us
There were days when our hearts were broken from the friends and lovers we once loved so much. Yet now, we cross to the other side of the street when we see them by coincidence because they’ve become just people whom we used to know.
Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know
2.ย When we were ready to swallow our egos and get back together with our exes
We cut ties with a fewย people and swore to never talk to them again, only to realiseย that it was not worth it and that we need them more than ever. We couldnโt help but call them, because caring about them is all we could afford to do.
Kenny Chesney – Come Over
3.ย When people expected more from us than we can handle
Just because we donโt complain a lot and try to help as much as we can, doesnโt mean you get to walk all over us and expect far more of us than we can give. We are only human after all. We do get tired. Most of all, we do get hurt.
Christina Perri- Human
4.ย When people acted like they understand what we were going through
Itโs those times when you were taking shelter in your friend or family, only for them to tell you that they know what you are going through and that you should man up because itโs not that much of a big deal. They had no idea what they were talking about. It was not the same.
Lady Gaga- Till It Happens To You
5.ย When the world that we once knew so well, stopped making a lot of sense
One day, out of the blue, it just happened. You woke up and you were no longer the little kid who once believed so much, and loved so much. You wondered when it all stopped making sense!
Jow Williams- Speaking A Dead Language

6.ย When you had a lot of fight in you, you were ready to face the whole world
Suddenly one day, you woke up and you refused to be the victim. You decided to fight and to make sure the whole world knew that you were a fighter.
Rachel Platten – Fight Song
7.ย When you caused someone so much misery, but didnโt really meanย to
No matter how much we try, we will always cause damage to those we love. It pains us so much to see them suffering because of the damage we inflicted on them. Sometimes, we just want to tell them that we never meant to cause them trouble.
Cold Play – Trouble
8.ย When we couldnโt understand what society wants
Having been exploited by societyโs demands, it was about time we give up on the whole concept.
Eddie Vedder – Society
9.ย When we understood that we canโt trust anybody
We grew up to realize the ugly truth. We realized that people are temporary, and that the only thing that is constant in this life is you. We shouldnโt really count on anything else.
The Fray – Trust Me
Finally, music is different for everyone. A song that I can relate to in some way, you could relate to in a totally opposite way. If you found a song that you felt different about, donโt hesitate to share how it expressed your feelings.
