"Feel"

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand

I just wanna feel
Real love feel the home that I live in
Cos I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her

Scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming
I just wanna feel
Real love feel the home that I live in
Cos I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
And I need to feel
Real love and the love ever after
I can not get enough

I just wanna feel
Real love feel the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins
To go to waste

I just wanna feel
Real love and the love ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand

My personal anthem, "My Way" by Ol' Blue Eyes himself, FRANK SINATRAAAAAAAAAA!

And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!

[instrumental]

Yes, it was my way
For what is a man, what has he got; if not himself, then he has naught! -Frank Sinatra

I love that song. But is it really narcissistic, idk

Hows this female Sinatra song? :D

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play?

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.

Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.

Now he's gone, I don't know why
And 'til this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.

Doing things "Your Way" is very NPD. And then there's the "For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught..." line. And there are bits of the song that are clearly about lack of remorse and empathy.

IDK. I really relate to it, via NPD.

I consider it my personal anthem!

Or maybe I just like it because I'm a stubborn bitch lol.

But that's just reality. Imo he's singing about being proud of who he is, there's also some signs of humbleness, he is not perfect.
Questions of interpretation.

Hello girls and guys. just got out of a relation with an NPD girl.
6 month, few heavenly, and well the discard was tough.
still recovering.

but when i met her i had this song in my head, and now it has even more a meaning for me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCLizTg9nWo

Henry Rollins – Liar Lyrics

You think you're going to live your life alone
In darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
You've been out there and tried to mix with those animals
And it just left you full of humiliated confusion
So you stagger back home and wait for nothing
But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the streets
And now you're desperate and in need of human contact
And then you meet me and yur whole world changes
Because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
So you drop all you defenses, I'm perfect in every way
'cause I make you feel so strong and so powerfull inside
You feel so lucky
But your ego obscures reality that you never bothered to
Wonder why things are going so well
You want to know why?

'cause I'm a liar, yeah, I'm a liar
I'll tear (rip) your mind up, I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me, I'll turn you into me
'cause I'm a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar...

I'll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes
And I'll tell you things that you already know so you can say:
I really identify with you, so much
And all the time that you're needing me is just the time
That I'm bleeding you, don't you get it yet?
I'll come to you like an affliction then I'll leave you like an addiction
You'll never forget me... wou wanna know why?

I don't know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
Maybe it's something inside, maybe it's something I can't explain
'cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you
I'm a liar, ooh, I'm a liar
But if you'll give me another chance I swear I'll never lie to you again
'cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,
They're stronger than truth
I ca't believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again
Please, just give me more chance, I'll never lie to you again, no,
I swear, I will never tell a lie, I will neer tell a lie, no, no
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! sucker! sucker! sucker!

I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar
I lie you, I feel good, I am a liar, yeah
I lie x4 ooh, I lie, yeah, I lie
I'm a liar, I lie, I like it, I feel good, I like it, and again
I like it again and I'll keep lying, I'll promise

Scandinavian band, always master in lyrics. Not particularly with these new ones though.
But this is called the narcissist. Pretty blunt.

"I am a prisoner in this city
Built as a prison
Monitor and punish they must
Those who do not agree to bound in chains

I am a prisoner in the human body
It must be endlessly raped
To torment, to subject, to dismember
pimp with words and nuts

When I look at my face
It's dried leather
When I search my eyes
Face of granite

Starting to imagine, starting to understand
The end is not far

Being overwhelmed by memories
Sightless children of time
Carrying
the names of loved ones
That's the one you cheated, that you hit
That you drove away, mocking
For that you gave your heart
She threw it away in disgust

This world given
Believe me, you're insane
Prettily enjoy it
Going to hell

This world of
Believe me you're insane
Prettily enjoy it
Going to hell

My hands are the hands of the mummy
I shove anything to my throat
And the tongue tastes like $#%^
I lost this particular battle
Being overwhelmed by memories
Sightless children of time
Carrying
the names of loved ones
That's the one you cheated, that you hit
That you drove away, mocking
For that you gave your heart
She threw it away in disgust

Being overwhelmed by memories
Sightless children of time
Carrying
the names of loved ones
That's the one you cheated, that you hit
That you drove away, mocking
For that you gave your heart
She threw it away in disgust."

pretty nice.

lately i am going to some of my old loved songs, kind of extreme ones, and in found those two what can be about narcissistic behaviour:

Converge : concubine - fault and fracture (watch out your ears)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5HdCwXUvX4

Dear, I'll stay gold just to keep these pasts at bay
To keep the loneliest of nights from claiming you
and to keep these longest of days from waking you
For I felt the greatest of winters coming
and I saw you as seasons shifting from blue to grey
That's where the coldest of these days await me
and distance lays her heavy head beside me
There I'll stay gold, forever gold

You were most beautiful as the damage and the trauma
Pounding hard with battered wings of destiny
You were my last great war
You were my heaven ablaze
Riddled with faults and fractures
And I spent my last of days burning my oldest of bridges
And I spent my last of nights killing the best of friends
In the company of thieves, liars, beggers and whores
I'll lay waiting, just waiting for my time to come


these arms are Snakes - drinking from the neck the on you love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlKBAvQiqq0

I've drank from the neck of gods most beautiful creation.
I've stared in the darkness of her ever shutting doors.
Your old scares you open.
I'm telling you to leave them alone.
Digging around in the opening you still find nothing new.
There isn't anymore blood running to that part of your arm.
Like a composition doll we will glue you.
All you felt, everything you felt.
Was meant for you.
It is all always meant for you.
It was meant to hurt you.
Chemicals wasted days,
chemicals forgotten night, chemicals wasted days.
She wounds hard.
I ask why are you opening up your old wounds?
You already know where they came from.
sponsored links

She thinks it's all she's got, it's not all she's got.
Drinking the necks of your loved ones.
Living off the life of someone.
You eat the hearts of your loved ones.
We drink from the necks of all our loved ones.
Tell the future to come in the back door,
tell all the stars that there are stars no more.
I am the cloud that hangs over this cities towers.
I am the body that becomes your april showers.
So I am this cities tears that roll into the gutters.
I am the water killing your front lawn.
I watched your tears roll into the cities gutters
and I used them to water my dying front lawn.
(It's everything.)
