I liked the original post with everyone sharing their theme song. I kinda missed it slipping into oblivion, so I decided to bring it back. ;D

Post your theme or power song. What describes your outlook on life or gives you hope.

To start it off, Sixx:A.M. - "Life Is Beautiful"

You can't quit until you try
You can't live until you die
You can't learn to tell the truth
Until you learn to lie

You can't breathe until you choke
You gotta laugh when you're the joke
There's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

I know some things that you don't
I've done things that you won't
There's nothing like a trail of blood
to find your way back home

I was waiting for my hearse
What came next was so much worse
It took a funeral to make me feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just pretend that instead of "he" "himself, or "man", he is saying she, herself and woman, ok? but this is my theme song!

Well, I'm not sure if it's my theme song, but this one says a lot to me:

I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by a identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one to notice?
I can't be the only one who's learned

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

Can I have everyone's attention please
if you're not like this and that
You're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay, dust, stone
And now I'm telling everybody

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be

Ok I figured out the video thing. So here is Sixx:A.M. and my favorite power song.

http://www.youtube.com/v/SE45RRmNL6U&hl=en&fs=1

I don't know who sings it, but here is "i'm gonna fly" from kiki's delivery service. It never fails to make me feel better. :D

Pre-surgery I had this one

Watching The Wheels - John Lennon

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

Cool, Cool!

Mine is This:

Song: Spectators
Artist: Crüxshadows  (I highly recommend you click the link and check out their website and listen to the music, they are an amazing goth band, and nice to listen and relax to, and dance to! The other band I really like lots is the Cure.)
Album: Wishfire

They don't actually have a music video for this song (they don't have a lot of videos) but I found the song on youtube and this guy is illustrating his take on it by trying to juggle and do something/be someone despite people mocking him.

Video:




Lyrics:

Down on the other side of things
The triggers fast and light
Bringing home this emptiness
For which you had to fight
It doesn't matter if your giving
For they do not compromise
The world will keep you guessing
Until the day you die

And everyone will say "I told you so"
Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
But I'll make a run at something real
And they'll never even try

And everyone will say "I told you so"
Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
As I go down in a ball of flames
They'll just watch, i wonder why

When the people downtown are freezing
Sometimes you cannot hide
So what can you do it's often true
Then we shift away our eyes
But maybe that moments ours to live
And maybe that's what we were for
As fate will share a chance with you
To open up your door

And everyone will say "I told you so"
Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
But I'll make a run at something real
And they'll never even try

And everyone will say "I told you so"
Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
As I go down in a ball of flames
They'll just watch, i wonder why

I don't understand
Why your just standing there
I don't understand
Why you don't seem to care

And everyone will say "I told you so"
Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
But I made a run at something real
And they never even tried

And everyone will say "I told you so"
Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
And tell me where I made my big mistake
They may just be surprised

Mine is "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley.  The fact that it's three minutes of pure happiness aside, there has been some events in my life that have given this song truly special meaning to me.
  •  

DeValInDisguise

Mine is "Ride of the Valkyries" by Richard Wagner.

For some reason I really liked it, even before I chose my name.  Or before my name chose me.

So this one is for all us girls.

There are many that seem to fit, but this one seems to stand out from all of them for me.

Sarah McLachlan
"Fallen"


Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I've held so dear.

I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Heaven bend to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
One slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
[2X]


I don't know, but this might sound like a suicide song, which I don't see it that way.  More, this is what my experience with transition has been.  :)

"Vindicated" by Dashboard Confessional



Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated

[Chorus]
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that

I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself


So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x]
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away [4x]

I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

I used to listen to this song a lot. I think it can be very true for a lot of people/reach out to a lot of people :)

Always gained a lot of power when this song plays



Take away your paper & pen
Stacks of money and your foolish grin
And go

Get me off the backwards ride
Take away your greedy way and go
See the woman standing at the door
World gone by ... Again and again
See the blisters growing on your feet
Pushed on... Pushed on
World gone by

Take away your companies
Take away your societies and go
Get me off this backwards ride
Take away your fictitious books of fact
See the woman standing in the door
World gone by ... Again and again
See the blisters growing on your feet
Pushed on ... Pushed on
World gone by

I wouldn't want to be
Living in a world of ecstasy with you

Wasted arms; wasted legs
Wrapped round this machine
Military machine

I wouldn't want to be
Living in a world of ecstasy with you

Taken' away your companies
Takin' away your societies and go.
Get me off this backwards ride,
Takin' away your ficticious books of fact.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

Mnemosyne

Blondie, Walk Like Me

We don't wear that uniform
Paper men from pages torn
Right off the press (it could be Tass)
Suits for the regime

The media's gone and had a baby
Seventh wave, another navy
I live in America
Gridlock on the street

Tell that girl you like her badge
Tell that man you're the Nazz
Tell me you're not the last walking in parade

Dressed to test you up the road
Tighter than the lightest clothes
Close the circle, walk in row
Walking in parade

Why don't you walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?

Carrying the standard stick
And marrying the politic
You won't know tomorrow
What went down today

Look at me; I'm in tune
References around my room
Just another secret school
Another cycle going by

You, you never looked like that
Don't look like me, don't take it back
You never had a name like that
Never had a colour

Walking like a millionaire
Walking on imported air
Change the way you comb your hair
And watch what you walk under

Why don't you walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?
Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh
Heh, heh, heh

Heh, why don't you?
Why don't you walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?
