BPD Songs

Postby videndas » Thu Oct 12, 2017 2:10 pm

Hi. :)
If you listen to MATD as avidly as I do, you probably know that pretty much all of her songs can be related to Borderline Personality Disorder. It's comforting in a way to listen to her because you feel less alone. But I went to an article on The Odyssey Online that helped me compile a playlist of especially "Hi, I'm BPD" songs. Here you go:

I Am Not A Robot (Track 3, The Family Jewels)
I'm A Ruin (Track 3, FROOT)
Numb (Track 13, The Family Jewels)
Seventeen (Track 12, The Family Jewels)
Teen Idle (Track 9, Electra Heart)
Homewrecker (Track 4, Electra Heart)
Happy (Track 1, FROOT)
Weeds (Track 10, FROOT)
Starring Role (Track 5, Electra Heart)
Oh No! (Track 11, The Family Jewels)

What other songs - besides the ones listed, and even besides Marina and the Diamonds - comfort you and make you feel comfort about BPD? :)

I like this thread!
She has many songs that seem either bpd or npd.

Dammit i can't listen to music now to remember.
Marina 's hermit the frog is funny. To add except the above,
Also the same song with title: family jewels and
Electra heart.

I often come across songs that can relate with bpd but i can't remember right now.
If i am not mistaken emilie autumn maybe has bipolar. Not sure if i remember correct.but some songs relate with bpd

Can i post when is not in english? I have to find with subs lol

Also from poetry sylvia plath seems very relatable often to me.some poems.i can post more later because i can't do much now from where i am.

What about Hypocrates also from marina and the diamonds. Before you posted i really wondered if she talks about npd or bpd in her lyrics.or is just my idea.
But she even says the word narcissistic sometimes in songs

Nine Inch Nails was made for borderlines. The Cure too maybe.

Personally though I don't try to listen to music full of anguish all that often because I feel that it can get me out of moods, but also perpetuate them. But I love anything psychedelic, either 60's bands or E6 bands: The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, The Yardbirds, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Galaxie 500, Olivia Tremor Control, The Sunshine Fix, The Apples in Stereo, Tripping Daisy. Also, The Methadones, Blur, Oasis, The Cry, The Pretty Things, etc. etc. etc.

I think all of those bands are good because they're very emotional and BPD has a lot to do with emotions, emotional sensitivity, emotional extremes, impulsitivity, fixations. I hadn't heard of Marina and the Diamonds so I might have to go through to your playlist.
I am open to PMs and new friends.

Jill Sobule has a song called 'clever' that i related to so much!

I can be clever, I can be clever
I can charm your pants off, I can be clever
I can be funny, I can make you laugh
I can amuse you, I can make you laugh

I can be tender or I can be dirty
I can make you feel like you rule the world
I could be patient, I can be kind
I know how to listen or look like I am

I can be trusted, I can be kind
As far as you can throw me, I can be trusted
I can be blue, I can get real depressed
I can stay all day in my bed

I can get anxious, I can get anxious
When I think of you, I just get anxious
I can get angry, I can get angry

I can smash your windshield, I can get angry
I can't wait to be in your arms again
'Cause I always think this could be the last time
When you dig deep and you see more and you get bored

I could be sorry, I could be sorry
About your windshield I could be sorry
And I could be clever, I can be clever
I can charm your pants off, I can be clever

Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park is the song I most identify with.

Especially these lines:

I’d get lost in the nothingness inside of me
The fault is my own
I want to let go of the pain I’ve felt so long (erase all the pain till it’s gone)
What do I have but negativity, because I can’t justify the way everyone is looking at me

(i feel a little weird that not many post here but i like to post.)
first time i saw this song today.i was looking on youtube randomly videos.
i couldn't decide if i should post the pv or dance.
at first i thought meh too childish but then the chorus totally stuck in my head lol

My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
(You punched a hole in The wall and I framed it I wish I could feel things like you)




i also just wanted to post this. and i couldn't decide here or in npd lol. i didn't want in random song thread.is better with a theme story npd or bpd :lol:
but seriously was to close to post it in npd.or hpd if there was one. or bpd more?
