Default social phobic songs/lyrics

Does anyone know any social phobic songs or songs with lyrics which remind them of social phobia? There's a song I like by Garbage called Silence is golden which reminds me alot of how I feel sometimes, although another message board said it's about abuse.

If I am silent then I am not real
But if I speak up then no one will hear
If I wear a mask there’s somewhere to hide

Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins

If I raise my voice will someone get hurt
And if I can’t feel then I won’t get touched
If no truths are spoken then no lies can hide

Silence is golden
Nobody gets in
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins

Did you hear me speak
Do you understand
Did you hear my voice
Will you hold my hand
Do you understand me

Won’t someone listen
Nobody gets in
My body’s a temple
But nothing is simple
Silence is golden
I have been broken
Something was stolen
Safe in my own skin
Something was stolen.
I have been broken.

I think "I am a Rock" by Simon and Garfunkel is one of the most famous songs about social anxiety and lonliness.

Not quite the same musical genre as Garbage lol but good lyrics all the same.

There's a lyrics link at the end of the article.

No one here will have heard of them but Grave Flowers a doom metal band from Sweden I can relate to this song even though am not quite as morbid yet lol.


Mentally Exposed

Waking up alone
and my dream is gone
Face another day

I***8217;m feeling cold
my soul has holes
That will never heal

I***8217;m so sick inside
got a twisted mind
Can no longer cope

I wish I could be happy but reality hurts
It brings me down and makes me lick the dirt

Looking back at life
then I realize
I***8217;m not meant to be

How did I end up here
is it cause I fear
The world outside

I can***8217;t hear a sound
and I can***8217;t look out
Mostly my eyes are shut

I fear for my tomorrow cause it might be like yesterday
I felt all the sorrow and I cried in vain

Looking at the white walls with tears in my eyes
I don***8217;t know why I***8217;m here and why I***8217;m alive
It***8217;s so cold in here and no one hears me cry
When death calls my name I***8217;ll gladly say goodbye

Night will soon be here
then I disappear
Into my own world

No one can hurt me there
and I feel no fear
Embraced by tranquility

Please don***8217;t let me wake
my body shakes
I have left my life

Now I***8217;m happy and reality doesn***8217;t hurt
I***8217;m underground, I***8217;m buried in the dirt
No white walls surrounds me, now I***8217;m free to fly
To leave this earth was a good way to say goodbye

Also this one

2. Lackrosy

I hide myself in me and I always will
Overdose of reality has made me ill
Have I spent to much time alone?
I curse myself for being born
When everything drowns in black, there is no turning back
And I don't want to be seen
I hide from reality, I'm scared like a child
Don't come close to me
There is no hope, no joy only anguish that bites
And cuts me like a knife
This is how it feels to be me, do you want to
Take over my life?
Lift me from this abyss where I dwell
Please save me from my private hell
Don't judge, just listen if I speak
No I won't reveal it makes me weak
When everything drowns in black, there is no turning back
And I don't want to be seen
I hide from reality, I'm scared like a child
Don't come close to me
There is no hope, no joy only anguish that bites
And cuts me like a knife
This is how it feels to be me, do you want to
Take over my life?
Dark in room and I'm lying in my bed
Trying to figuring out when I became so sad
Is there a hope and a life for me
I need my dreams more than reality
When everything drowns in black, there is no turning back
And I don't want to be seen
I hide from reality, I'm scared like a child
Don't come close to me
There is no hope, no joy only anguish that bites
And cuts me like a knife
This is how it feels to be me, do you want to
Take over my life?

I think a song called No-where Girl by B-Movie is about social anxiety or agraphobia. Been wondering about it for ages. The lyrics are just so familiar..

I also identify with Simon and Garfunkel's I am A Rock. Thanks for that link Shadow Walker.

Leo Sayer's Bedsitter Land is about being alone while being surrounded by people. I used to identify with it a lot in my 20s.

I'm thinking of taking
the easy way out
open the window
I'll fall to the ground
I could do it -- wouldn't be much too it

I gotta little place here in the city
it's kind of small and dirty, it's a bedsitter
and there's a lot of us living here
wall to wall in one big house

and when the night comes 'round
I can see a lot of lonely lights
there are people in there breathing
but it don't seem right
in the streets way down below me
I'm listening for just a sound
but nobody comes around
in bedsitterland

and there's a man below me on the balcony
crying to be heard
screaming to be heard
I'm haunted by his words
and the people in the street just shrug their shoulders
saying he's disturbed
he's in another world
screaming at the birds
crying to be heard
I hear his every word

I've slept in the gutter on a summer's day
oh I've bummed cigarettes in the night cafes
I've joined the breadline
believe I got a deadline

I gotta little place here in the city
it's kind of small and dirty, it's a bedsitter
and there's a lot of us living here
wall to wall in one big house

and when the night comes 'round
I can see a lot of lonely lights
there are people in there breathing
but it don't seem right
in the streets way down below me
I'm listening for just a sound
but nobody comes around
the lights are going down
nobody comes around
in bedsitterland

No problem, Winnie.

I didn't know Leo Sayer wrote deeper meaning lyrics. I just assumed he was your ordinary pop artist. :D I'll try and catch it on Capital Gold or some oldie station sometime - my dad'll probably know it.

Thanks

Yes Leo Sayer wrote a lot of songs about loneliness, a better-known one being One Man Band

Default Re: social phobic songs/lyrics

this song ties in everything for me (sa and the rest)

Its by SHINEDOWN:

I feel like there is no need for conversation
Some questions are better left without a reason
And I would rather reveal myself than my situation
Now and then I consider, my hesitation
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning, burning bright

I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
To spare myself of the constant shame of my existence
And I would surely redeem myself in my desperation
Here and now I'll express, my situation

CHORUS (2)

There's nothing ever wrong but nothing's ever right
Such a cruel contradiction
I know I cross the lines its not easy to define
I'm born to indecision
There's always something new some path I'm supposed to choose
With no particular rhyme or reason

CHORUS (2)

B Movie Lyrics - Nowhere Girl.

nowhere girl you're living in a dream,
nowhere girl you stay behind the scenes,
nowhere girl you never go outside,
nowhere girl cause you prefer to hide.

every night, every day
in that all old familiar light
you hang up when i call you at home.
and i try to get through
ant i try to talk to you
but there's something stopping me from getting through.

nowhere girl what you had you need,
nowhere girl all functional and neat,
nowhere girl in self-imposed exile,
nowhere girl a martyr-like denial.

every night, every day
in that all old familiar light
you hang up when i call you at home.
and i try to get through
and i try to talk to you
but there's something stopping me from getting through.




That is a great song, ShyDoll.

I used to drunkenly dance to that in the 80's. A class record.
They had another son I loved too. Not SA related though. It was called 'Remembrance Day'.

A Most Peculiar Man
P. Simon, 1965

He was a most peculiar man
That's what Mrs. Riordan says and she should know
She lived upstairs from him
She said he was a most peculiar man

He was a most peculiar man
He lived all alone within a house
Within a room, within himself
A most peculiar man

He had no friends, he seldom spoke
And no one in turn ever spoke to him
'Cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't care
And he wasn't like them
Oh no! He was a most peculiar man

He died last Saturday
He turned on the gas and he went to sleep
With the windows closed so he'd never wake up
To his silent world and his tiny room
And Mrs. Riordan says he has a brother somewhere
Who should be notified soon
And all the people said,
"What a shame that he's dead
But wasn't he a most peculiar man?"

SARAH McLACHLAN
"Silence (Delirium)"

Give me release
witness me
I am outside
give me peace

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
and I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe

Passion chokes the flower
'til she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
hungry still for more

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

I can't help this longing
comfort me
I can't hold it all in
if you won't let me

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe

I have seen you
in this white wave
you are silent
you are breathing
in this white wave
I am free

'Head Down' by Soundgarden

We steal that smile from your face
We hear you cry
We hear you wail
We steal that smile from your face

We see you laugh
We see you dance
We take that away everyday
We see you cry
We turn your head
Then we slap your face
Bow down with your life

Head down, hide that smile
Head high got to smile
Head high got to smile

We see you try
We see you fail
Some things never change
We hear you cry
We hear you wail
We steal that smile from your face
Bow down with your life

Head down, hide that smile
Head high got to smile

Head high like a song you like

This song is how I think the people who don't like me feel about me.

That and the "I am a Rock" song. I love them both.

a good song of a great emo band. a guy feels inferior to a girl he likes.
Quote:
Saves The Day - Freakish

As I'm talking my words slip to the floor
and they crawl through your legs and slide under the back door
rendering me freakish and dazed.
Well here I am. I don't know how to say this.
The only thing I know is awkward silence.
Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out.
So I'll go walking in the streets until my heels bleed
and I'll sing out my song in case the birds wish to sing along.
And I'll dig a tunnel to the center of the universe.
Well here I am. I don't know how to say this.
The only thing I know is awkward silence.
Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out.
I'll make my way across the frozen sea, beyond the blank horizon,
when I can forget "you and me" and get a decent night's sleep.
Well here I am. I don't know how to say this.
The only thing I know is awkward silence.
Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out.
Don't shut me out.
Listen

Portishead - Sour Times, don't listen to it much as it make me depressed. The definitate sad/lonely song
To pretend no one can find
The fallacies of morning rose
Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes
Curtises that I despise in me
Take a ride, take a shot now

Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you do

Covered by the blind belief
That fantasies of sinful screens
Bear the facts, assume the dye
End the vows no need to lie, enjoy
Take a ride, take a shot now

Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you do

Who oo am I, what and why
Cos all I have left is my memories of yesterday
Ohh these sour times

Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you do

After time the bitter taste
Of innocence decent or race
Scattered seeds, buried lives
Mysteries of our disguise revolve
Circumstance will decide ....

Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you do

Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you
Nobody loves.. me
Its true
Not, like, you.. do

I'll go with a favourite of mine: I Know It's Over by The Smiths

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me ?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)
And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la ...
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...


And one more, by the seminal Jesus & Mary Chain - My Little Underground:


Running away
I got something to say
You're in my way
So goodbye yesterday

I'm gonna run and find
A place where I can hide
Somewhere that no one knows
Someplace that no one goes
So don't you look for me
I'll be where you can't see
Somewhere I can't be found
My little underground

It's easy to see
That you're laughing at me
No guarantee
At least none I can see

And it's cold outside
Doesn't work out right
Gonna stay inside
Gonna stay inside

I'm gonna run and find
A place where I can hide
Somewhere that no one knows
Someplace that no one goes
So don't you look for me
I'll be where you can't see
Somewhere I can't be found
My little underground

Sun shines so high
Bright in the sky
Sun shines so
Sun shines so
Sun shines so high above

And it's cold outside
And it's cold outside
Doesn't work out right
Gonna stay inside

And I can't
Can't understand it
Don't know why
Don't know why

Just can't
Can't understand it
Don't know why
Don't know why

And it's cold outside
Doesn't work out right

For me, Lennon & McCartney capture the feeling very well in their lyrics.
There are several examples on the Help! album; especially "Help!", "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away", "It's Only Love" and "Yesterday". "Nowhere Man" from Rubber Soul is fairly apt too.

Here are a couple of songs that i identify my SA with, its strange my SA is triggered off by my friends and my girlfriend the people i know and love rather than complete strangers. (there not the most poetic of songs, but I like that about them)

Blink 182 - Story of a lonely guy

Push it out, fake a smile
AVERT disaster, just in time
I need a drink, cause in a while
Worthless answers from friends of mine
It's dumb to ask, cool to ignore
Girls posess me, but they're never mine
I made my entrance, avoided hazards
Checked my engine, I fell behind........I fell behind

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storm's gone i'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on, days like this like the prom
I get too scared to move, cause i'm a ****in' boy

Remember when I was in the grocery store, now's my time
Lost the words,lost my nerve, lost the girl, left the line
I would wish upon a star, but that star, it doesn't shine
So read my book with a boring ending
A short story of a lonely guy........Who fell behind

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storm's gone i'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on, days like this like the prom
I get too scared to move, cause i'm a ****in' boy

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storm's gone i'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on, days like this like the prom
I get too scared to move, cause i'm still just a stupid worthless boy



Sorry to put two in, but this song i think a lot of us can relate too, (from reading posts) i can and Ive left school.

Billy Talent - Nothing to lose

Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know
Put concrete in my veins
I’d always walk home alone
So I became lifeless
Just like my telephone

There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change

Never played truth or dare
I’d have to check my mirror
To see if I’m still here
My parents had no clue
That I ate all my lunches
Alone in the bathroom

There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to gain
And I can’t fight the pain

Teachers said "it's just a phase"
When I grow up my children
Will probably do the same
Kids just love to tease
Who'd know it put me underground
At seventeen

There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to gain
And I can’t fight the pain
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
And I just died today

How Soon Is Now by The Smiths always seemed SAish to me.

I am the son
and the heir
of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
just like everybody else does

I am the son
and the heir
of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and the heir
of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
just like everybody else does

There's a club if you'd like to go
you could meet somebody who really loves you
so you go, and you stand on your own
and you leave on your own
and you go home, and you cry
and you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen "now"
well, when exactly do you mean?
see I've already waited too long
and all my hope is gone

You shut your mouth
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
just like everybody else does



Oh and Imaginary is my personnel song so I'll put it too though its not particulary SAish.

swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
oh, how i long for the deep sleep dreaming
the goddess of imaginary light

in my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
i lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

i linger in the doorway
of alarmclock screaming monsters calling my name
let me stay...where the wind will whisper to me
where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story

if you need to leave the world you live in
lay your head down and stay awhile
though you may not remember dreaming
something waits for you to breathe again

in my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
i lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

Hope you don't mind, not a song but a poem

IN MY SHYNESS
In my shyness . . .
At times I retreat to my "shell,"
Clinging to the security of being alone.
In my shyness . . .
I may attempt to merge with my surroundings--
To be ignored, unnoticed, a silent voice rarely heard.
In my shyness . . .
I can feel completely alone,
Although surrounded by people.
In my shyness . . .
I'm perceived as having a padlocked soul--
And few try to gain entry into my realm.
In my shyness . . .
Few will dare venture to really know me--
To hear my quiet voice or to really try to understand.
In my shyness . . .
I can have a myriad of words to say,
Yet, my sealed lips will not release them.
In my shyness . . .
The words I do speak will at times be jumbled,
And I'll feel worse for having spoken them.
In my shyness . . .
I will be viewed as "stuck up" and unfriendly,
Labeled by the presumption of a troubled past.
Yet, despite my shyness . . .
I will at times emerge from my "shell,"
And you may catch a glimpse of who I am.
And despite my shyness . . .
I may put on a good "front,"
Disguising my innermost insecurities.
Despite my shyness . . .
A select few will manage to penetrate these "walls,"
With the sharing of time and the evolving of trust.
My shyness . . .
Frequently unrecognized, seldom understood--
A shackle, a haven, a veil.

"Lonelines is the killer"

Killer by seal brought me lots of inspiration when Ineeded it.

"Solitary brother is there a part of you that wants to live"

Solitary sister is there a part of you thats wants to give"

Katie Melua's new single is called 'Shy Boy' Jack like! Jack like!



I'm sittin' in the window of a street cafe
Watchin' you walking by each day,
It seems that you always wanna look my way
Hey, you can't deny, boy,
You're such a shy boy.

So good looking you seem to be
But you're too tongue-tied to say hi to me,
You could make it happen so easily
Woah, I'll tell you why boy,
'Cos I'm looking for a shy boy

Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew,
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to

If this was a quiz on a TV show
And the prize was a guy who would love me so
Whatever they ask, the answer I know
Hey, my reply boy
Is gimme a shy boy.

Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to

Some guys act a bit too sure
And maybe you're thinkin' that less is more
But Honey, you still gotta knock on my door
Hey, just try boy,
And you could be my boy

I'll tell you why boy
I'm looking for a shy boy,
Just try boy, you're such a shy boy

TEARS FOR FEARS LYRICS

"Mad World"

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

Marc Almond did this song in the 1980s

Called Bedsit-land

Sunday morning going slow
I'm talking to the radio
Clothes and records on the floor
The memories of the night before
Out in club land having fun
And now I'm hiding from the sun
Waiting for a visitor
Though no-one knows I'm here for sure

Dancing laughing
Drinking loving
And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home

I think it's time to cook a meal
To fill the emptiness I feel
Spend my money going out
I've nothing in I'm left without
Clean my teeth and comb my hair
And look for something new to wear
And start the night life over again
And kid myself I'm having fun

Dancing laughing
Drinking loving
And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home

I look out from my window view
There's really nothing else to do
Read a book maybe write a letter
Mother, things are getting better
Watch the mirror count the lines
The battle scars of all the good times
Look around and I can see
A thousand people just like me

Dancing, laughing
Drinking, loving
And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home

Dancing, laughing
I'm drinking, loving (I'm only having fun)
And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home

Dancing, laughing
I'm drinking, loving (I'm only having fun)

Do you look a mess
Do you have a hangover
Did you over do the lemonade
Cut short on the soda
Did you do that dance
The doctor told you that you shouldn't do
But you're only young
You should do that dance twice over
I know it's pretty early
But you still look great
Just ready for the beauty
That the make-up will create
Take a little blusher
Take a little paint
Put on the silver dress
The one that makes the young boys faint
I'm sitting on my bed
And I'm looking at the time
Have a cup of coffee
And you're feeling fine
Put on that new record
That you brought the other day
The words'll make you smile
You can dance the dust away
Make your single bed
And push the tea leaves down the drain
Take a long deep breathe
And start the night life over again

Dancing
Laughing
Drinking
Loving
Dancing
Laughing

I'm waiting for something
I'm only passing time
And now I'm all alone
And I don't care
And I don't care
And I'm waiting for something
I'm only passing time
And now I'm all alone
And I don't care
And I don't care
'Cause I'm waiting for something
I'm only passing time
And now I'm all alone
And I don't care
And I don't care
And I don't care
And I don't care
I'm only passing time

And I don't care (no)
And I don't care (no)
I'm only passing time

Red face Re: social phobic songs/lyrics

here's one song i can really relate to even though its not overtly about social phobia


PLACEBO LYRICS

"Black Eyed"

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderlining schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss
I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderline bipolar
Forever biting on your nuts
I was never grateful
That's why I spend my days alone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home (Broken home)
Black-eyed [repeat]

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderlining schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss
I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home (Broken home)
Black-eyed [repeat]

I sometimes think this song is about SA (or something similar), I might be wrong though.

Sounds really beautiful anyway

The City Consumes Us
The Delgados.

Streets like the rest of them but i can't forget
Faces familiar and full of regret
I hated this place
And all who came from it
Far from the scenery, far from the road
Far from the greenery lifted my load
We borded the train to come back again

I was convinced in my mind
I was not of this kind
Faced with the with banality
I choose calamity

See us
Watch how the city consumes us
Watch how the city destroyes us

Walking on pathways i walked with my friends
Hearing that some of them have met bitter ends
How can you concieve
Your friends will be grieving for you
Running from memories a lonely tonite
Doesn't make remedies they still survive
I hated this place
And i have come from it

I was convinced in my mind
I was not of this kind
Faced with reality
I choose frivolity

See us
Watch how the city consumes us
Watch how the city destroyes us
Prices i'm happy to pay

See you comming near
See you walking close to me
Fear inside my head
Fear is never far from me
Walk you in the side
Walk you in the day we met
We will disappear
We will reappear
We can disappear
We can reappear

See us
Watch how the city consumes us
Watch how the city destroyes us
Prices i'm happy to pay.
