What Is Your Anthem/Fight Song?

This one gets me every time…

And for those that can’t handle the feeling of the music; lyrics:

I found my vice
I found my vice
It lives in a bottle and wants me to die

But I wanna be alive
GO!

God I wanna call you my father
I’m sick of drinking my life away
I can’t remember anything
This isn’t fun anymore
My body’s glued to the floor
When did my king start living inside a glass bottle?

I’m dying, I’m done lying to myself
If I’m living, its inside a hollow shell
My stomach is bleeding
But I’m still drinking
A hole inside me is now more than a metaphor

I guess a bottle can’t save my life
I guess a bottle can’t tame my mind

This is my reward, a barely beating heart
But I still lie to myself, I always lie to myself
My hands are in the air, and God I hope you’re there
'Cause I can’t make it myself, I’ll never make it myself

Standing up just to fall back down
Screaming nonsense to hear the sound
It doesn’t matter if nobody’s around
I’ll hit the bottom just to feel the ground

Substance therapy never set me free
Substance therapy never set me free

I guess a bottle can’t save my life
I guess a bottle can’t tame my mind

This is my reward, a barely beating heart
But I still lie to myself, I always lie to myself
My hands are in the air, and God I hope you’re there
'Cause I can’t make it myself, I’ll never make it myself

I don’t know about you, but I’m admitting now that I have a problem

Oh oh oh
I have a problem, I have a problem, I have a problem, I have a problem

This is probably one of the best songs I like to listen to when im having a hard time, just the band in general I love. Its kinda sad and depressing song but it helps me bring my hopes up.

Talks about what I felt like. Which really helps me push forward.

Oooh, I like where this thread is going! For me its a toss up between these two songs by Minor Threat and At The Drive In. I got to see At The Drive in last year and they were incredible. There is something about the way that both Ian McKay and Cedric Bixler-Zavala write and perform, they write amazing lyrics that burst out of them in performance. Its hard to tell what they are actually singing about but these two songs have been my first port of call when my brain has been about to explode over the last six months.

Minor threat was such a great band.

Mine is also by alter bridge

Lyrics
The wind is blowing cold
Have we lost our way tonight?
Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

Feels like we’re all alone
Running further from what’s right
And there are no more heroes to follow

So what are we becoming?
Where did we go wrong?

Yeah, oh yeah
I want to rise today
And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah
Oh, won’t you rise today
And change this world?

The sun is beating down
Are we ever gonna change
Can we stop the blood from running?

Our time is running out
Hope we find a better way
Before we find we’re left with nothing

For every life that’s taken
So much love is wasted

Yeah, oh yeah
I want to rise today
And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah
So won’t you rise today
And change

This world
Only love can set it right
This world
If only peace would never die

Seems to me that we’ve got each other wrong
Was the enemy just your brother all along?

Yeah, oh yeah
I want to rise today
And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah
Oh won’t you rise today
And change this world?

Yeah, oh yeah
I want to rise today
And change this world

Alter Bridge just gets you pumped. I love it.

gemini620 · January 17, 2019, 12:34pm

I miss me more by Kelsea Ballerini…I think of my relationship with alcohol…love it!

Seabee · January 17, 2019, 1:03pm

At The Drive In is one of my favorite bands! One-Armed Scissor is one of my favorite songs! GREAT choices!

Seabee · January 17, 2019, 1:08pm

I have never heard of Barkmarket. Very 90’s. I like it!

Seabee · January 17, 2019, 1:14pm

I like it @gemini620! The video was pretty good too!

TeejLazer · January 17, 2019, 1:15pm

I effing love Minor Threat!

TeejLazer · January 17, 2019, 1:16pm

Lately, it’s been Ex’s & Oh’s, from Atreyu.

Seabee · January 17, 2019, 1:17pm

This is just a great song. Who knew that replacing Scott Stapp could make Creed rock!?

Seabee · January 17, 2019, 1:20pm

Alter Bridge, Slash, The Mayfield Four. I’ll listen to anything with Myles Kennedy!

Circle pit, engage.

Seabee · January 17, 2019, 1:24pm

The Veterans will get this one on a different level…
