a song about asperger/autism

[alien girl]

can you think of a song that relate to us? can you think of a line/a few lines that does? how about those?
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

what about this?
cause i know what it means, to walk alone the lonely street of dreams
here i go again on my own
going down the only road i've ever known
like a drifter i was born to walk alone

how about this?
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Is this God's experiment
In which we have no say

any other suggestions?

Lonely Day- System of a Down

 

[2010Dolby]

Theres one called "Hollow" from Pantera. The lyrics stress the man with autism as being "hollow" and "without a soul", which obviously isn't how it is in real life. Kinda seems like when Phil wrote the lyrics he exaggerated many of the traits to show how frustrated he was.

What's left inside him?
Don't he remember us?
Can't he believe me?
We seemed like brothers
Talked for hours last month
About what we wanna be
I sit now with his hand in mine
But I know he can't feel...


No one knows
What's done is done
It's as if he were dead

I'm close with his mother
And she cries endlessly
Lord how we miss him
At least what's remembered
It's so important to make best friends in life
But it's hard when my friend sits with blank expression

No one knows
What's done is done
It's as if he were dead

He as hollow as I alone now x4

He as hollow as I alone
A shell of my friend
Just flesh and bone
There's no soul
He sees no love
I shake my fists at skies above
Mad at God...Mad...

He as hollow as I converse
I wish he'd waken from this curse
Hear my words before it's through
I want to come in after you
My best friend x2
Come back!

He as hollow as I alone...
He as Hollow as I alone now...


Yeah, it seems a little bit offensive to some people. But keep in mind that Phil is an NT and he isnt trying to be offensive, hes showing his frustrating of trying to reach his friend who became autistic.

By the way Pantera rules xD

I think the song was about something else probably plus... many people, whether they're on the spectrum or not can relate to that... probably... just an opinion nice song btw

Very possible. Pantera is known for having really strong song meanings, but terribley cheesy and vague lyrics. So much left for interpretation haha

Hey, didnt you write a song about the spectrum? I cant find it but I think I remember it

Cheesy.. Really? Hmm I thought it was alright it sounds more like it's writtend about a person who came back from a war or something... Anyway...

Yeah... My song recording could have been better... But well, let me find the lyrics

Here they are:


I've never waited for *someone who understands the way
I feel, the way I see the world every single day
I've never hoped to meet somebody who knows the reason
So why I'm talking to *you, there's nothing to say?
*
I'm looking back at my life and I'm not sure how long
I'll be trying to figure out what's going on
I have no answers, have no hope, no expectations
Just dozen voices around "you're wrong, you're wrong"
*
Maybe, one day
My life will not depend on
Distorted mind
But somehow
It seems that it's meant to be
Sometimes we scream
We want to change, to be different
But what if in all those obstacles
There's more than we see
*
Misdiagnosed, untreated, misunderstood and broke
Where's that missing fire that's filled my life with smoke
I'm not quite certain what I'm doing any more
Where am I going and what am I looking for?
*
*
What am I looking for? What am I fighting for?
Well?I don't want to fight, no more.



I actually have one more that my kids used to love it had trains in it

Eh, well, I can post it as well, but this song could be about anything

Don't you think that it's time to look in the window
And remind yourself that you are
Just a passenger on a train
That you are just a little ghost just a shadow
Of someone who you could have been
But got lost in the misty rain
Of somebody's else expectations
Somebody's else delusionary thoughts
Somebody's else dreams
*
Don't you think that it's time to stop pretending
That if you look like everyone else they won't see the difference
They won't see your struggle, your misunderstanding
Of their motives, rules and such contradictory beliefs
*
Oh you could have been so much more than
Just a shadow of someone else's thoughts
Just a ghost on a train

That's it I think...

Not sure where the stars came from, too lazy to delete them all

Alone - Judas Priest

21 Guns by GreenDay from their Album-- American Idiot (I think it has lots of depth to it)

21 Guns lyrics
Songwriters: Armstrong, Billie Joe; Bowie, David; Pritchard, Michael; Wright, Frank E., Iii;

Do you know what's worth fighting for?
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?

Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I

When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul

Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?

When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I

I though I'd post this new song here even though it could be about anything. I feel I might need a disclaimer though I decided this is a folk punk song (even though I'm not quite sure what the folk punk is ), I've just written it, within an hour or so, my voice sucks a little (have been lazy lately, didn't do anything about it) and blah and blah. Hope you can still get something out of it, something positive

here're the lyrics (some of the phrases or words might be changed in the future) :

I don't regret being alive
In the world that's learned
How to hate
I don't regret being as blind
As all who tries to forget
I have my heart broken
Mind's spoken words
That bring nothing but lies
I have been tangled in a maze of the roads
While my spirit has been laughing inside.

**My plane is descending
There's nothing I can do
But wish for the safe landing
In the rogue waves of truth.

I don't complain about being alone
Always deeply inside
I'm feeling blessed that I found a home
In your wonderful hearts
I have a life of a spirited chase
What else is there to dream of
I've been a hunter in search for a game
Only to realize it time to back off.

**My plane is descending
There's nothing I can do
But wish for the safe landing
In the rogue waves of truth.

ok, learned about folk punk a little, maybe my music is not that exactly... eh whatever I remember an art expert told me once that my art was pop punk eh well, I'm getting stuck in details once again

Solitary Shell by Dream Theater
It is actually about autism, they did an EP with a mental health theme.

 

[GHA]

Here is a song from Beatles 12th Album 1969:

When i find myself in times of trouble
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it b
