Have you ever listened to a song and thought, "Wow! It sounds as if the song were about me!" If so, what was the song and what made you feel like it was about you?

David Gilmour's "There's No Way Out Of Here".

There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good
There was no promise made, the part you've played, the chance you took
There are no boundaries set, the time and yet you waste it still

So it slips through your hands like grains of sand, you watch it go
There's no time to be lost, you'll pay the cost so get it right
There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good

And never was there an answer, there an answer
Not without listening, without seeing

There are no answers here, when you look out you don't see in
There was no promise made, the part you've played, the chance you took
There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good

And never was there an answer, there an answer
Not without listening, without seeing

There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good
There are no answers here, when you look out you don't see in
There was no promise made, the part you've played, the chance, you took

When I listen to the song, I can't help but think, "Wow, Dave Gilmour. Thanks a bunch for narrating my entire crappy existence."

It sounds like it means loving the experience of being in love is worse than having someone you love leave you or betray you. I should think it would be better. I am confused.

Being in love is bad, not being in love is good. Love is the villain in the story.

You know, the fascinating world of medical terminology. As some writer said once:

"Medicine is the art of accompanying people to the tomb with Greek words"

They broke up in 2006 but left us 11 good albums, and some of them are really notable, like the one named It's Beautiful, It's Love (that's a splendid record, really). It's one of those good, although little known worldwide, indie bands in this planet. Like Siddharta, for instance.

Fortunately we have the Internet.

Thank you! I don't know if it is some sense of aesthetics, a wish to please others, or a thing about "neurotic perfectionism".

WEEZER - SAY IT AIN'T SO LYRICS

Say It Ain't So by Weezer, seriously. My father, step-father, and brother (named Steven, of all the ****ing names) are all alcoholics and it's really distanced me from all of them. That song feels like I wrote it.
