Songs about Narcissism

Blue Oyster Cult

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long, where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at, and far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure that there's anything left of me

Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh please, don't let these shakes go on.

You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence, say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on, dear, and there's nowhen that I know
And I can't stand forever
I can't say if we're ever gonna be free

Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh please, don't let these shakes go on.

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy is spent at last, and my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons, and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?

Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
And men sliding into hell
Oh please, don't let these shakes go on

I have been browsing this forum since June of 2007, when my husband left me, and I first realized that he was a N.
I have recieved so much insight and information from all of you who have shared your stories and experiences. Thank You, for the first time in a very long time (4 years) I realized that I wasn't crazy..

This song I am sharing is about my soon to be ex N husband, and pretty much sums up our relationship from 2 days into the honeymoon.

Cold As You--Taylor Swift
You have a way of coming easily to me
And when you take, you take the very best of me
So I start a fight cause I need to feel something
And you do what you want cause I'm not what you wanted

chorus
Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day
Just walk away, ain't no use defendingwords that you will never say
And now I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray
And I stood there loving you, and wished them all away
And you came away with a great little story
Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

Chorus

You never did give a damn thing honey but I cried for you
And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died, died for you

Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day
Every smile you fake is so condescending
Counting all the scars you made
And now I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

"Invisible Touch" by Genesis.
It could clearly describe a female N.

Sappy/Verse Chorus Verse by Nirvana

And if you save yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
And you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
And you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with dust
And you'll think you're happy now

You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
The clue that came to you, oh

And if you cut yourself
You will think you're happy
He'll keep you in a jar
Then you'll make him happy
He'll give you breathing holes
Then you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with dust
Then you'll think you're happy now

You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
The clue that came to you, oh

You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
The clue that came to you, oh

And if you fool yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
Then you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
Then you will seem happy
You'll wallow in the $#%^
Then you'll think you're happy now

You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
The clue that came to you, oh


Also, the first verse of Our Velocity by Maximo Park

I’m not a man, I’m a machine
Chisel me down until I am clean
I buy books, I never read
And then I’ll tell you some more about me


And possibly (s)AINT by Marilyn Manson

I don't care if your world is ending today
Because I wasn't invited to it anyway
You said I tasted famous so I drew you a heart
But now I'm not an artist, I'm a ######6 work of art

I got an F and a C, and I got a K too
And the only thing that's missing is a bitch like u

You wanted perfect, you got your perfect
Now I'm too perfect for someone like you
I was a dandy in the ghetto with a snow white smile
But you'll never be as perfect whatever you do

What's my name? What's my name?
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
Hold the S because I am an ain't

What's my name? What's my name?
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
Hold the S because I am an ain't

Ah-ah, Ah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I am bone top, a deathset, on a mop stick
You infected me to diamonds, I took all your $#%^
Your sell-by-date expired so you had to be sold
I'm a suffer-genius and vivi sex symbol

You wanted perfect, you got your perfect
Now I'm too perfect for someone like you
I was a dandy in the ghetto with a snow white smile
But you'll never be as perfect whatever you do

What's my name? What's my name?
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
Hold the S because I am an ain't

What's my name? What's my name?
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
Hold the S because I am an ain't

Ah-ah, Ah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I got an F and a C, and I got a K too
And the only thing that's missing is u

I got an F and a C, and I got a K too
And the only thing that's missing is a bitch like u

I got an F and a C, and I got a K too
And the only thing that's missing is a bitch like u

I am the penny in the ghetto with a snow white smile
Super ego-bitch, I've been evil a while

I am a dandy in the ghetto with a snow white smile
Super ego-bitch, I've been evil a while

What's my name? What's my name?
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
Hold the S because I am an ain't

What's my name? What's my name?
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
Hold the S because I am an ain't

What's my name? What's my name?
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
Hold the S because I am an ain't

What's my name? What's my name?
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
Hold the S because I am an ain't

"Fit but you know it" by The Streets

You'll See by Madonna:

You think that I can't live without your love
You'll see,
You think I can't go on another day.
You think I have nothing
Without you by my side,
You'll see
Somehow, some way

You think that I can never laugh again
You'll see,
You think that you destroyed my faith in love.
You think after all you've done
I'll never find my way back home,
You'll see
Somehow, someday

Chorus:

All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive,
All on my own
I don't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see

You think that you are strong, but you are weak
You'll see,
It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat.
I have truth on my side,
You only have deceit
You'll see, somehow, someday

Chorus2:

All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive,
I'll stand on my own
I won't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see

You'll see, you'll see
You'll see, mmmm, mmmm

Just heard this and thought it was from the perspective of a N. maybe i just have N on the brain lately, but def sounds like what happened to me when my ex N broke up with me:

A Martyr For My Love For You - White Stripes

She was sixteen and six feet tall
In a crowd of teenagers comin' out of the zoo
She stumbled started to slip and fall
Teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes
I happened to catch her and said,
"maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you"

Maybe for you, now

But not as shaky as I must have seemed
Talkin' junk through her giggle, little teenage dream
And on the phone I could not compete
My dumb-love fake competence was getting weak
For a sec' I thought I sounded sweet
But sure 'nough in a gruff, faint voice
I heard myself speak

[Chorus:]
I could stay a while
But sooner or later I'll break your smile
And I can tell a joke
But one of these days I'm bound to choke
And we could share a kiss
But I feel like I can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
But I know the right thing for me to do
Is to leave you alone

Leave you alone, now

I'm beginning to like you
So you probably won't get what I'm going to do
I'm walkin' away from you
It probably don't make much sense to you
But I'm trying to save you
From all of the things that I'll probably say or do

I'll probably do

[Chorus:]
I could stay a while
But sooner or later I'll break your smile
And I can tell a joke
But one of these days I'm bound to choke
And we might share a kiss
But I feel like a can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
But I know the right thing for me to do
Is to leave you alone

Leave you alone, now

You'll probably call me a fool
And say I'm doin' exactly what a coward would do
And I'm beginning to like you
What a shame it's a lame way to live
But what can I do?
I hope you appreciate what I do

I'm a martyr for my love for you
A martyr for my love for you, now
A martyr for my love for you
A martyr for my love for you

Guess what i'll be doing this morning? - checking out all of these songs. Music always helps me get through things!
