+1 to this!  Omg, you brought back some really happy childhood memories for me that I'd nearly forgotten there hunni, thank you! <333

[Surrealism]

I think this song, though its lyrics are very simple, sums up my feelings about my biological male appearance and self. "I don't love" it

Behind Blue Eyes's by the Who was very profound during my coming out phase.  I listened to it over and over again, and really got me moving.

Behind Blue Eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man, to be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like
To be hated, to be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free

No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings like I do
And I blame you

No one bites back as hard
On their anger, none of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man, to be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

My current playlist includes these tg to me songs:

Bring Me to Life by Evanescence

Defying Gravity. From Wicked

[Jayne]

When I came out the song that described my trans status was "Breaking the Habit" by Linkin Park because I was so sick of living a lie.
I can't do links as i'm using an Xbox not a PC but every time I listened to the song I would picture the male me singing the song infront of a mirror, the reflection would be the female me singing the song whilst trying to smash her way through the glass, i'm glad she's out of the mirror now.

The 2 songs that now describe being trans best for me are "When you believe" by Chloe Agnew & "To Be Free" by Mike Oldfield

[LilLivvy91]

"Demons" by Imagine Dragons
"Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera
"Not Afraid" by Eminem
"Same Love" by Macklemore
"Trust In Me Now" by Anthony Evans (christian theme, but wakes me up every time i hear it)
"The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World
"Somewhere I Belong" by Linkin Park

These songs are more inspiration than description. I got many more, but i think thats enuff for now.

I love this song and has a vastly diff meaning when listened  to from a mtf perspective.

My current playlist includes these tg to me songs:

Bring Me to Life by Evanescence..

I can certainly see why you'd say that personally though I think Lost In Paradise (also by Evanescence) is a better fit though :

[FinallyMe84]

Another Against Me! song everyone should check out is Searching For A Former Clarity. The song was on their 2005 album of the same name, way before Laura Jane Grace came out, and describes being on her deathbed without having been honest with herself. That's how I interpret it. As a sidenote, in just three days I get to see am! and ljg live up here in Vermont! So ready for it

While this song isn't supposed to be about trans*, it always makes me think of trans.

The Smashing Pumpkin's Disarm


Lyrics that speak to me: I used to be a little boy
                        what I choose is my voice, what's a boy supposed to do?
