Songs that remind you of DID

No. but I remember a song that would keep going through my head while I was in therapy for DID (and through my divorce too lol) In the Air of Night...Phil Collins.....still love it.

Well... Hiro leave me a song months ago that "describes" our relationship (between the two of us at least???)

Shinedown - I'm Alive

By the way... "Eminem - Monster" feels so much like DID, I can't stop listening to it.

To me it has always been Leonard Cohen:
I can't forget: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgJt2M7t2CE
in my secret life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NfF5N6IcoE
by the rivers dark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA3sBuolUkA

I've actually had this song on my MP3 player for a while, I feel like it's a good fit for DID, (or at least some of the inner conflicts I've been through (and i'm sure many others have too)... I use to fight a lot more with some of my stronger alters before therapy and new meds stabled us out).

(Trigger warning(?): semi-graphic lyrics )

"Awoken" - H8 Seed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytKvgLuy7ng

Lyrics:
What cause have I to feel glad?
I've built my life on judgement and causing pain
I don't know those eyes I see in the bloodstained chrome
Now everything that I've had
And everything I've known have been thrown away;
And with time, I've come to find this isn't my home

I've stoked the fire
Seen more pain than you can know
The tears of the broken have washed away my soul
Pushed by desire
To change the way my stream will flow
Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control

I try my best to block out the screams
But they're haunting me in my dreams

Please, break my shackles, I want it to stop

I man these wretched machines
Day in, day out, the grinding wears on my brain
Undermining my sanity, making me question my reality
But life is not as it seems
Should I take a chance for freedom and throw it all down the drain?
I've been imprisoned, please burn my transgressions away

I'm sick of hurting,
Sick of thinking it's all I do
I break those around me, those spared are very few
But the bright sun is burning
And my sky shines, ever blue
Friendships surround me; I'm becoming a part of you

(This song makes me think of my alters. Alters = Bomb. I feel this song describes our relationship, with me as the host, and then them.)

Neuroticfish - The Bomb

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8zXY_G639U

I wear my bomb near to my chest, is it ticking?
Cold, hard, no time to rest, I feel it kicking
I wear my bomb near to my chest, is it moving?
Cold, hard, no time to stop and never soothing

I keep it safe and warm
I hope it never burns me
I keep it safe from harm
I hope it never hurts me

I wear my bomb near to my heart when I'm running
Stone cold right from the start, I feel it humming
I lay my bomb near to my bed when I'm sleeping
Every single lonely night, I feel it creeping

I keep it safe and warm
I hope it never burns me
I keep it safe from harm
I hope it never hurts me

Terrorize me come and take my soul
Paralyze me, come to me whole
Terrify me, come and take my home
Analyze me, you know I'm not that strong

I keep it safe from harm
I hope it never hurts me
I keep it safe and warm
I hope it never burns me

Terrorize me, come and take my soul
Paralyze me, come to me whole
Terrify me, come and take my home
Analyze me, you know I'm not that strong

Terrify me, analyze me
You know I'm not that strong

I just came across this song last night and thought we'd share. (Reminds me of DID symptoms & rapid Bipolar episodes. Both which I can relate to.)
colors = alters

VOCALOID Original: "ECHO" by Gumi

**Triggers: Contains some bright flashing images, synthetic techno music ranges and possible trigger lyrics**

"The clock stopped ticking
Forever ago
How long have I been up?
I don't know
I cant get a grip,
But I can't let go
There wasn't anything
To hold on to though...

Why can't I see?
Why can't I see?
All the colors that you see?
Please can I be
Please can I be
Colorful and free?

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?!
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME PLEASE--
WHY I'M SWITCHING FASTER THAN THE CHANNELS ON TV
I'M black THEN I'M white
NO!!!
SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT!!
MY ENEMY'S INVISIBLE,I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIGHT
THE TREMBLING FEAR IS MORE THAN I CAN TAKE
WHEN I'M UP AGAINST
THE ECHO IN THE MIRROR
ECHO"

Spirited Away -Always with me
http://youtu.be/u5Cln9kVpEI
Somewhere, a voice calls, in the depths of my heart
May I always be dreaming, the dreams that move my heart

So many tears of sadness, uncountable through and through
I know on the other side of them I'll find you

Every time we fall down to the ground we look up to the blue sky above
We wake to it's blueness, as for the first time

Though the road is long and lonely and the end far away, out of sight
I can with these two arms embrace the light

As I bid farewell my heart stops, in tenderness I feel
My silent empty body begins to listen to what is real

The wonder of living, the wonder of dying
The wind, town, and flowers, we all dance one unity

Somewhere a voice calls in the depths of my heart
keep dreaming your dreams, don't ever let them part

Why speak of all your sadness or of life's painful woes
Instead let the same lips sing a gentle song for you

The whispering voice, we never want to forget,
in each passing memory always there to guide you

When a mirror has been broken, shattered pieces scattered on the ground
Glimpses of new life, reflected all around

Window of beginning, stillness, new light of the dawn
Let my silent, empty body be filled and reborn

No need to search outside, nor sail across the sea
Cause here shining inside me, it's right here inside me

I've found a brightness, it's always with me

Us

An original of mine, written by me, Kengi and Gigi. It's about the fight of having total control of everything. You can say they are power hungry...

VOCALOID Original - Oliver - Puppet Master

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uC55i8r_lEQ&index=13&list=PLKBi7Kxpr6oUtZXcQsKxZCUvI4h3e1B3Z

(Verse)

I am your puppet master
And I control your strings
If you try to escape me
You will feel misery

I have many more like you,
You're just a worthless thing
All the people around you
Know you belong to me

(Pre-Chorus)


To me, to me, to me, to me
Know you belong to me
To me, to me, to me, to me
Know you belong to me

Can he, can he, can he, can he
Waste his life till empty
Can he, can he, can he, can he
Not even bleed

(Chorus)

He's a little puppet that
I tried to hunt down
Could it be that he is the prince
Of the night

He's a little puppet that
I tried to love strong
Little toy, little toy
Little toy, little toy

Cause

He's a little doll that
Tries his best to survive
It seems to me he's alone
Figuring out how to revive

He's a little doll that
Will never have a clone
Too scared to leave me
He still hasn't faced reality

(Verse)

I am your puppet master
And I know you fear me
So does everyone else
That haven't learnt how to see

I gave reason to breathe
If you try to use your mind
I can stop your voice
Cause I really do own your life

(Pre-Chorus)

To me, to me, to me, to me
Know you belong to me
To me, to me, to me, to me
Know you belong to me

Can he, can he, can he, can he
Waste his life till empty
Can he, can he, can he, can he
Not even bleed

(Chorus)

He's a little puppet that
I tried to hunt down
Could it be that he is the prince
Of the night

He's a little puppet that
I tried to love strong
Little toy, little toy
Little toy, little toy

Cause

He's a little doll that
Tries his best to survive
It seems to me he's alone
Figuring out how to revive

He's a little doll that
Will never have a clone
Too scared to leave me
He still hasn't faced reality

(Bridge)

Dangerous man
Indict me
Broken sense
Arrest me

I will always love him strong
Burnt the doll, broke the wall
Fire climbed up the stage
He will never, never fall

Cut the ropes and he's still floating
Moves to the music
Carries my heart, he's the muse
That will never fall apart

It is true what was said
The doll thought he was my part
I didn't control his heart

(Chorus)

He's a little puppet that
I tried to hunt down
Could it be that he is the prince
Of the night

He's a little puppet that
I tried to love strong
Little toy, little toy
Little toy, little toy

Cause

He's a little doll that
Tries his best to survive
It seems to me he's alone
Figuring out how to revive

He's a little doll that
Will never have a clone
Too scared to leave me
He still hasn't faced reality

Because of you - Kelly Clarson

In this Moment by the Birthday Massacre really does it for me and Marie especially

This verse in particular sticks out to me:

When I was younger
The days all seemed to last
So much longer
But that was once upon a time
