I know that similar posts have been made like this, but obviously musically is extremely important to me, so im making another one

this song probably describes some of the things that I feel and am going through

Illogic- Hate In A Puddle

Verse 1
I hate when it rains, cause in puddles I encounter this guy
Unable to give a rebuttal but swift as the pain flood his eyes
wonderin why he's a gift with no purpose
A priceless one-of-a-kind piece that's worthless
Grounded with no surface
And when he shows one, it's a facade
Cause inside he fights feelings that he was mistake by God
I see his confusion and self-deception
Questions of relevance and intelligence
He holds an illusion of self-acceptance
that he shows to those outside lookin in
He's outside lookin in to his own life; lookin for strength
to carry on as a pawn in this chess game of existance
In his mind he wants to go on to the dawn
and leave the stress that came with existance
Hopin in death he'll find life
Cause as he lives, he roams the dark, tryin to find light
He's made his heart so hard, he doesn't even cry anymore
Cause he's confronted sorrow frequently
His heart's been broken frequently
It's like he's lost some part of him and just haven't found it yet
So in his search, he's left with nothin but questions and regret
All he wants to know is how one day, he's content
and the next day he's cryin
cause his life isn't what he thought life meant
He just wants to be happy, with his love and all
But too often I get messages through telepathic calls
He's askin me through a puddle what more must he endure to continue
But for some reason he knows he most endure to continue

[Chorus]
When I walk past puddles, my reflection calls beggin me
to answer his questions about life and his perceptions
and tell him why I hate him so much
And you wonder why I hate him so much?
Now when I walk past puddles, my reflection calls beggin me
to answer his questions about life, and his perceptions
and tell him why I hate him so much
Damn, I wonder why I hate him so much

Verse 2
Why did I hate him so much? I wondered, pondered on the question
What in my mind caused me to despise my reflection?
I didn't know I just knew when I saw him, how I felt
and hated the fact that he had to play with the cards that he was dealt
He's come in contact with some ill things that can't be explained
Life's extracted his energy to where the pain can't be contained
So to me he comes, sheddin tears like skin
Intimate with some, only the ones he calls friends
If he even exists, he only exists in pain
It's like his life is a myth
and he's been blessed with the gift of shame, I mean
From birth to love he's been betrayed
He's an unknown in how to cope with that pain and dissapointment
he's come to know as he's grown
He feels he stands alone in this world of puddle images
And he awaits the time for when, time finishes
He tries to elevate thought, but he's still chillin in the basement
Awaitin a rebirth of his soul as it fears it's spiritual placement

[Chorus]

Verse 3
God I pray you can give me a purpose or help me find it
Cause on this narrow path of self-damnation, I can't find it
Is it somethin I need to know, some way I need to grow
to get out of this rut, God give me some self-trust
Love is somethin I'm lookin for but I've found it, or have I?
I wanna live but can I, or do I have to die to?
I try to, have life but my life seems kinda worthless
as I'm starin at this puddle
God I pray that you can give me a purpose or help me find it
Cause on this narrow path of self-damnation, I can't find it
Is it somethin I need to know, some way I need to grow
to get out of this rut, God please give me some self-trust
Love is somethin I'm lookin for - thought I found it, or have I?
I wanna live but can I, or do I have to die to?
I try to, have life but my life seems kinda worthless
as I'm starin in this puddle

[Chorus]

{*music changes*}

Verse 4
I sit alone in dismal silence
Peering into the eyes of my reflection
Wondering if his thoughts are adjacent to my own
What visions of eerie savagery
are passing if purity lurks in the mind of he who I mirror?
Lookin at him I am disgusted
He lacks beauty in all external areas
and internally he seems so confused
Perplexed with this conundrum of life
He proceeds to function or cope, lookin at it realistically
Esteem he lacks, in all areas of existance
Reason unknown
What is the cause of the lack of this self-acceptance?
I mean it seems like he needs constant assurance
Some type of ritual proof that he's even worth the oxygen he breathes
A, light that shines upon him
Is his living in vein? Does he have a purpose?
Answer - eternally unknown

shit sorry just realised sum1 else posted that , u hav good taste nayashi!!!!
A friend of mine who passed away wrote this song, I always thought it had to do with DP. He wrote it after actually seen someone die who was trapped underneath a tractor.

Ten Years Along
Matt Rogers

Ten years along, will I wonder if what is lost is gone?
Two years today, I was lost but now I?ve found my way.
There?s still too many wasted days; sometimes I choose to fade away.
Though these eyes had to watch him die,
?Tuesday?s gone?, it weighs heavy on my mind.
As the last scene plays, he looks at me then drains away.

So how do I feel?
Something?s changed,
Something?s not the same.
Something?s changed
And can never be the same.

It?s tried and true, but in truth it?s not what I should do
It started small, then it took a hold and grew.
So in this far release, it?s the only place I can ever plant my feet.
No nothing is real.
And I found myself in this place before.
It?s so unreal to me, b/c I thought I closed that door.
And there?s noone to turn to
When all walls I?ve built stand tall.
It?s noone?s fault but my own, that I feel so alone.
B/c I?ve seen inside, and hate what it?s shown.

B/c I?ve found
I weigh myself down.
Lord knows,
I weigh myself down.

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

Another buddy of mine wrote this one, and though he's never had DP, the themes to this song really fit for it.

Soul and Reason
Mike Eisenberg

Time is holding on to me
Set free with clipped wings
I sing

I had it all in me

I lift the day seen from my floor
Balanced, away thrown from the world
Above the rain came dancing in
Through the my cracked window
The countless drips

I had it all in me
But now I?ve lost my way

Just slippin foot on the other side
This masking trap I?ve fallen in
If at all, a long way out it seems
I know not why I bleed

Sunlight sweeping in
Forever now the dull shines thin
In you is what I need

A quarter through life in the war agreed
A battle of soul and reason.
What now wake me on my path
Where my soul and I?ve walked hand in hand
We?ve lost sight of the path we?ve bled on
Throughout existence

In you is what I need
Leave me with your love

Heaven in time will leave
Memories to what, live your truth
Such a simple answer
But I still can?t see
That only I set I free

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

I've also felt that a lot of Radiohead and Pink Floyd songs have to do with DP, or at the very least mental illness in general.
