The song "Pinch Me" by the Barenaked Ladies is full of beautiful lyrics about depression/loneliness, but this is my favorite: "You try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn..." Strange and Beautiful: Aqualung You just reminded me of one of my favorite songs: Sun streaking cold, an old man wandering lonely Taking time the only way he knows Leg hurting bad, as he bends to pick a dog-end He goes down to the bog and warms his feet. Feeling alone; The army's up the road; Salvation à la mode; And a cup of tea. Aqualung my friend, don't you start away uneasy you poor old sod, you see, it's only me...-"Aqualung," Jethro Tull

Hendrix and Joplin were definitely before their time. Thanks for sharing it with us!!!

Anything by Tool or Mr.Bungle or Faith no More, Tom Waits and ofcourse
"Field Commander Cohen, he was our most important spy. Wounded in the line of duty, parachuting acid into diplomatic cocktail parties, urging Fidel Castro to abandon fields and castles. Leave it all and like a man, come back to nothing special, such as waiting rooms and ticket lines, silver bullet suicides, and messianic ocean tides, and racial roller-coaster rides and other forms of boredom advertised as poetry.
I know you need your sleep now, I know your life's been hard. But many men are falling, where you promised to stand guard.
I never asked but I heard you cast your lot along with the poor. But then I overheard your prayer, that you be this and nothing more than just some grateful faithful woman's favourite singing millionaire, the patron Saint of envy and the grocer of despair, working for the Yankee Dollar.
I know you need your sleep now ...
Ah, lover come and lie with me, if my lover is who you are, and be your sweetest self awhile until I ask for more, my child. Then let the other selves be wrong, yeah, let them manifest and come till every taste is on the tongue, till love is pierced and love is hung, and every kind of freedom done, then oh, oh my love, oh my love, oh my love, oh my love, oh my love, oh my love."
or something like that- "Field Comander Cohen" by Leonard Cohen- The lyric master. I must dig out the full lyrics and post them. The album New Skin for the Old Ceremony is one of the most beautiful albums ever recorded, musically and lyrically, imo anyway.
But theres just Too many!!!!!!!!- plus I've notice that's there are loads of songs I hate from bands I can't stand but whos lyrics are really good taken seperately.
I reckon if somebody could take all the lyrics posted here, mix them up and randomly combine them you would probably have the most amazing song about introversion ever written- it would probably mean you have too much time on your hands aswell!!!

I haven't been here in a while so here's some Ozzy for all of you It's the same ole desire Nothing has changed, nothing's the same Burning like fire Don't you ever take my name in vain, oh yeah From Desire Another from the Ozzman The introduction to his heartache began as a child So, it's no wonder that he grew up to be so wild So, he protected his feelings in walls he imagined But castles crumble exposing the frightened child. From Fire in the Sky This one's cool A sickened mind and spirit The mirror tells me lies Could I mistake myself for someone Who lives behind my eyes? From Diary of a Madman What the hell, one more Ozzy (you can tell I'm in Ozzy mode tonight) Nobody hears the things I say I guess that nobody cares My head's so full of things, I'll set my mind free of them I'm breaking the rules From Breaking All the Rules That's it. Have a great night. Chem

"Be as white as you want to, Be as black as you want to, Be as brown as you want to, Don't let anybody stop you.
Be as straight as you want to, Be as gay as you want to, You can wait if you want to, You'll need something to hold on to.
Be as shy as you want to, Be as loud as you want to, Be as small as you want to, Don't let anybody stop you.
Be as thin as you want to, Be as fat as you want to, Be as short as you want to, We all need someone to hold on to."
~~ Be As, Prozzack
"And I don't want to fall to pieces, I just want to sit and stare at you. I don't wanna talk about it. And I don't want a conversation, I just wanna cry in front of you. I don't wanna talk about it 'cause I'm in love with you."
~~ Fall to Pieces, Avril Lavigne
"Cause there's you and me and all of the people, with nothing to do, nothing to lose. And there's you and me and all of the people, and I dunno why, I can't keep my eyes off of you."
~~ You and Me, Lifehouse
"Maybe, I need to see the daylight, leave behind the half-life, don't you see I'm breaking down.
Lately, something here don't feel right, this is just a half-life, is there really no escape, no escape from time, of any kind?"
~~ Half-Life, Duncan Sheik
"You don't know what you have til your everything is gone, You need someone to show you how to live again.
You've got so much to give, but you throw it all away, and all you've got to show for who you are is pain.
I've got so much to give, if you'd only let me in, I'm gonna take the time to show you I'm a friend. You'll believe in love again."
~~ I Wanna Be There, Blessid Union of Souls

How about some NightwishMany of their songs are about loneliness, lost innocence and some people suggest there are religious messages, although the song writer is reputed to be an atheist, so I'm not too convinced about that. - Dark Chest Of Wonders, Once (2004) - Ghost Love Score, Once (2004) Nemo, Once (2004) Nemo is Latin, meaning 'nothing' or 'no-one'Dead To The World, Century Child (2002) Ever Dream, Century Child (2002) Ocean Soul, Century Child (2002) Beauty And The Beast, Angels Fall First (1997) IMO one of the best and most emotional metal bands in the world.

Then the fire fades away But most of everyday Is full of tired excuses But it's too hard to say I wish it were simple But we give up easily You're close enough to see that You're.... the other side of the world to me - 'Other Side of the World', KT Tunstall One more thing. Why is it my fault? So maybe I try too hard But it’s all because of this desire I just wanna be liked, I just wanna be funny. Looks like the jokes on me So call me captain backfire I’m never speaking up again it only hurts me. I’d rather be a mystery than she desert me. Oh I’m never speaking up again Starting now 'My Stupid Mouth', John Mayer I know it would be outrageous To come on all courageous And offer you my hand To pull you up on to dry land When all I got is sinking sand The trick ain’t worth the time it buys I’m sick of hearing my own lies And love’s a raven when it flies 'The Other Side', David Gray If I had some influence girl With the powers that be I’d have them fire that arrow at you Like they fired it right at me And maybe when your heart and soul are burning You might see That everytime I’m talking with you It’s always over too soon That everyday feels so incomplete Till you walk into the room Say the word now girl I’ll jump that moon 'Be Mine', David Gray (again) We're Knights of the Round Table. We dance whene'er we're able. We do routines and chorus scenes With footwork impeccable. We dine well here in Camelot. We eat ham and jam and spam a lot. We're Knights of the Round Table. Our shows are formidable, But many times we're given rhymes That are quite unsingable. We're opera mad in Camelot. We sing from the diaphragm a lot. In war we're tough and able, Quite indefatigable. Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable. It's a busy life in Camelot. I have to push the pram a lot. 'Camelot', Monty Python I thought I'd end with a smile, rather than with all the soppy stuff above....

I'm not sure who wrote the lyrics to this song, and there's many versions of it... but anyway, I like (well can relate to) the lyrics of this song:
What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted
As I walk this land of broken dreams I have visions of many things But happiness is just an illusion Filled with sadness and confusion What becomes of the broken hearted Who had love that's now departed I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind Maybe
The fruits of love grow all around But for me they come a tumblin' down Every day heartaches grow a little stronger I can't stand this pain much longer I walk in shadows Searching for light Cold and alone No comfort in sight Hoping and praying for someone to care Always moving and goin' nowhere
What becomes of the broken hearted Who had love that's now departed I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind Maybe
I'm searching though I don't succeed For someone's love there's a growing need All is lost, there's no place for beginning All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now what becomes of the broken-hearted Who had love that's now departed I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind I'll be searching everywhere Just to find someone to care I'll be looking everyday I know I'm gonna find a way Nothing's gonna stop me now I'll find a way somehow Now what becomes of the broken-hearted Who had love that's now departed...

I think we've all felt like this at one time or another:
