Apologies if someone has posted something like this before. I loved this song before I understood exactly why it resonated with me so much. I was hoping that if you had come across a song that described you really well you would post it. Here is mine.

Funny you should bring this up, because a day or so ago I realized the Phantom of the Opera describes my current mental state perfectly. I think it helps to know that I originally thought of my "man-self" as an identity separate from me with his own voice. I recently found out I'm not the only transperson to do that before realizing they're trans...

For now I find The phantom of the opera is there inside my mind PHANTOM Sing once again with me our strange duet My power over you grows stronger yet And though you turn from me to glance behind The phantom of the opera is there inside your mind

I'm very embarrassed to admit I know of this song but honestly What Now (Rihanna) describes exactly how I feel right now. I feel that I have paid the price for allowing myself to be who I really am. I have lost my personality and my soul. All I am left with is an empty shell. I've been ignoring this big lump in my throat I shouldn't be crying, tears were for the weaker days I'm stronger now or so I say But something's missing I can even relate some of the lyrics to my discovery of my male self which I know deviates massively from what the lyrics are actually intended to be about but stil.... I found the one he changed my life But was it me that changed And he just happened to come at the right time
Thanks for responding peeps I was thinking I was the only person that had that sense of super strong identification with the theme of a piece of music or its lyrics. I was just like, really, :icon_redf ?
Rudy by Supertramp It's often matched up with my feeling before, the feeling of uncertainty, lack of direction, lack of self esteem, feeling like everyone is better than you, living the same thing day in day out. Thankfully I don't feel most of these things much anymore. ---------- Post added 20th Aug 2014 at 10:48 PM ---------- This has actually got nothing to do with being trans, but I felt like my inner personality doesn't match with my outer one sometimes. Hope you don't mind
Anything off the album beautiful freak by the eels, i listened to it on repeat in my room for a lot of my teenage years.
