[MBTI General] ~~~Self-Pity Unto Death~~

[heart]

** By the way, this thread is not meant to be a dig against self-pity***


A shrine to self-pity and emo-ism.

This thread is for all of us to pour our self-pity out without shame or stint.

Please feel free to post suitable Youtube videos, lyrics and pics also to set a proper mood here.




YouTube - Rick Astley - Cry For Help


Shes taken my time.
Convince me shes fine.
But when she leaves Im not so sure.
Its always the same.
Shes playing her game.
And when she goes I feel to blame.
Why wont she say she needs me?
I know shes not as strong as she seems.

Why dont I see her cry for help?
Why dont I feel her cry for help?
Why dont I hear her cry for help?

I wandered around
The streets of this town
Trying to find sense of it all.
The rain on my face,
It covers the trace
Of all the tears Id had to waste.
Why must we hide emotions?
Why must we never break down and cry?

All that I need is to cry for help.
Somebody please hear me cry for help.
All I can do is cry for help.

No need to feel ashamed. release the pain. cry for help.

Cry for help is all I need.
All I need is a cry for help.
Cry for help is all I need.
All I need is a cry for help.

Why must we hide emotions?
Why cant we ever break down and cry?
All that I need is to cry for help.
I will be there when you cry for help.
Why dont I hear her cry for help?

All that I need is to cry for help.
Somebody please hear me cry for help.
All I can do is cry for help.

All that I need is to cry for help.
I will be there when you cry for help.
Is it so hard to cry for help?

(cry for help is all I need.) no need to feel ashamed.
(all I need is a cry for help.) come on and release the pain.
(cry for help is all I need.) put your trust in me.
(all I need is a cry for help.) my love is gonna set you free.

Woooooooooooooo.



Well, I don't have any self-pity at the moment but I am sure I will at some point later on!

 

[Amargith]

Awesome idea, heart

 

[Athenian200]

This is how I feel almost all the time.

[YOUTUBE="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSsiK23oiE4"]Assemblage 23 - Raw[/YOUTUBE]

Raw
Unsheltered and exposed
When every door is closed
There's nowhere left to find protection

Now
All that I have left
Is this brutal, wreckless depth
I'm running scared with no direction

Dark
The only thing that's real
It's all that I can feel
And every single nerve is screaming

Wait
For sleep that never comes
My imagination runs
Out of reach and it has left me bleeding

CHORUS
When reality returns
And I've finally broken free
I'll stand up and face the world
That once abandoned me

The flow
Of panic in my veins
Anxiety constrains
Every move and I am slowly sinking

Down
To depths I've never reached
My security's been breached
A victim of my way of thinking

(CHORUS)

Bleak
A desert without rain
I'm a prisoner of pain
A disciple of my own disaster

Still
This silent symphony
Serenades the barren sea
Calling out as if it somehow matters

(CHORUS)

 

[Athenian200]

Here's another one, a little darker:

[youtube="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqVsfDscepw"]Assemblage 23 - Surface[/youtube]

Fall
Seize
I am merely debris
Scattered along the ground

False
Rage
A man in a cage
An explosion without a sound

Drawn
In
By the deafening din
Crumbling into dust

Look
Down
Watching me drown
Choking on my disgust

CHORUS
And when I surface again
I will not breathe the same air as you
And once my enemies are slain
My lungs will drink the liquid sky

Sink
Sleep
Drawing me deep
Pulling me underneath

Push
Strain
For the distant terrain
Struggling just to breathe

Freeze
Fold
A story untold
A disaster that could have been

A precursor perhaps
To the cruelest collapse
A sign that I should have seen

(CHORUS)

Burst
Through
The smothering blue
Falling into the sky

Rebirth
For whatever its worth
If only just to defy

Crush
Burn
With little concern
Feasting upon my prey

Tear
Rend
Expediting the end
Of everything in my way

(CHORUS)

I kinda like this topic. :blushing: Thanks for starting it.

EDIT: can't get the vid to show up. sorry.

 

[Domino]

I have no video to share, but I do have a very worn copy of "Wuthering Heights".

And a very black t-shirt.

Thanks for understanding. Don't worry about the video, just tell us what song you were thinking of.

Anyway, here's one that somehow relates to my lamenting of my own nature, and human nature.

I'm beginning to think I might be getting embarrassingly good at the self pity thing, though.

[YOUTUBE="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XfJwh2cC6o"]Duvet[/YOUTUBE]

And you don't seem to understand,
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear.
And you know what they say might hurt you.
And you know that it means so much.
And you don't even feel a thing.

I am falling,
I am fading,
I have lost it all

And you don't seem the lying kind,
A shame that I can read your mind.
And all the things that I read there,
Candle-lit smile that we both share.
And you know I don't mean to hurt you.
But you know that it means so much.
And you don't even feel a thing.

I am falling,
I am fading,
I am drowning,
Help me to breathe

I am hurting,
I have lost it all,
I am losing
Help me to breathe...

Athenian,

It's not usually my sort of music, but I really like Duvet. Where can I find more?

I don't think this thread would be complete without Nirvana. Here's 'Come on Death' with the version of lyrics that makes the most sense to me. It's a shame I'm such a technotard because KC's incoherent wailing is what makes the song.

----------------

Slowly, will I sleep soundly?
Well I said slowly
We\'re all so lonely
We\'re alone with

...death!!! (x4)

Lonely, well I said lonely
Well I said lonely
Well I said slowly
We\'re all

...dead!!! (x4)

Slowly, will I sleep soundly?
Well I said slowly
Well I said slowly
Well

...dead!!! (x4)

Gonna do it!!!
Gonna die!!!
Slowly, lonely!
Holy, lonely!

I want this, so is this
I\'ll stay here until you come back
We\'re alone
\'lone, all alone

...Lonely!!! (x4)

Athenian,

It's actually the opening song to an anime series. I'm not sure if the other songs by that band have a similar quality (because I haven't listened to them), but the band is called "BoA" or something.

 

[scantilyclad]

This is wonderful. I am the queen of self pity.
i've listened to this song on repeat today.
my sister broke her back and i'm fat today.



[YOUTUBE="UwIF95svGp0"]Saves the Day-The End[/YOUTUBE]






Cut off my failing limbs
Pawn off what's left within
Land of the living dead
Time to face the end

Smile for the camera, suck in that gut
don't shame your family, you'll have bad luck
oh the whole world is waiting to see when you fall
the cracked coffee cup from the senior prom
faded red dress on the neighbor's lawn
oh the whole world is waiting to see when you fall
the whole world is waiting to see when you fall

I'm a danger to myself
always blaming someone else
got a grenade in my mouth
and my finger on the pin ready to rip it out
yeah that's right

Cut off my failing limbs
Pawn off what's left within
Land of the living dead
Time to face the end

 

[Zoom]

I'm going through the possibility of heartbreak with my first love and not knowing what is going to happen because it's in the other person's hands for now. I am emotionally upset and in pain to the point of being nauseous enough to throw up this morning.

I have no friends around here to comfort me, and emotions are the one thing that I don't fully know what to do with when it's really bad.

I don't really have a youtube video, sorry.

You're not an NF. Just what do you think you're doing here?

Anyway, since you've sneaked in this far... I suppose I'll offer what advice I can before calling security. Let it not be said that I failed to show compassion to those different from myself.

First of all, if you feel like throwing up, just let it happen. You'll probably feel better once you do, because sadness can cause your body to build up excess mucus. Once you've done so a few times, the desire to vomit will go away. Do what you can to put yourself into a positive mood. Try exercising, going for a walk, eating whatever you're craving, and possibly losing yourself in a video game, argument, or other situation.

Another idea, would be to try talking about your situation to someone online that you know would care about it. Eventually, the sharing and mutual analysis of the situation will make you feel somewhat cared about and able to deal with things, regardless of the outcome.

So... that's the best I can think of for a non-NF. Anyway, good luck feeling better.

I'm genuinely having such a shitty time right now that this thread was exactly what I needed. I don't really see self pity as a negative thing, if even you could feel your own pain, who would be there for you - if you can't be for yourself?

Boston by Augustana

In the light of the sun
Is there anyone
Oh it has begun
Oh dear you look so lost
Eyes are red
And tears are shed
The world you must have crossed
You said

You don't know me
And you don't even care
Oh yeah
She said you don't know me
And you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah
Yeah

Essential yet appealed
Carry all your thoughts
Across an open field
When flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones
Who cry when they see you
You said

You don't know me
And you don't even care
Oh yeah
She said you don't know me
And you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah

She said I think I'll go to Boston
Think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over
Where no one knows my name
I'll get out of California
I'm tired of the weather
Think I'll get a lover
And fly him out to Spain
I think I'll go to Boston
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town
To leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise
I'm tired of a sunset
I hear it's nice in the summer
Some snow would be nice
Oh yeah

Boston
No one knows my name
Yeah
No one knows my name
No one knows my name
Yeah

Boston
No one knows my name[YOUTUBE="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0YzdXlGzis&feature=related"][/YOUTUBE]

This thread really fits my current mood lol:

[YOUTUBE="-se48nUuLG4"]Maria mena - Self-Fulfilling Prophecy[/YOUTUBE]

"Self-Fulfilling Prophecy"

Self hatred grows in me like cancer,
I can’t locate its whereabouts but it's feasting on its host.
I expected him to have the answers.
I thought I taught him how to love me;
Now he fears me like a ghost.

Self-fulfilling prophecy,
You’re the only guaranteed loyalty;
In this town,
Full of violent mothers,
Cheating fathers,
Leaving lovers.
I swear to you, I’ll never love again.

This hunger grows inside me like a tumor,
The dizziness just compliments
This failure of a girl.
I’m settled now,
This show of mine consumes me,
But every pound I shed
Speaks volumes of my lack of self control.

Self-fulfilling prophecy,
You’re the only one that dare speak the truth about me;
In this town, with
Well intentioned mothers,
Starving daughters,
Worried lovers.
I swear to you, I’ll never eat again.

[Instrumental]

Self-fulfilling prophecy,
You never fail to comfort me;
In this town, filled with
Violent mothers,
Cheating fathers,
Leaving lovers.
Angry brothers,
Starving daughters,
Starving daughters,
Worried lovers.
I swear to you, I’ll never trust again

 

[The Third Rider]

Even though there are days that I feel self-pity I quite hate it and despise it, I see it as a weakness and completely unnecessary. Some times I get angry for even feeling down like that it sort of annoys me.

I pity myself for feeling like this. I'm the queen of general suckage.
