Default This tells the story

I love this song, but I never really paid attention to all the words. This is the abuser's anthem. It colors the self-loathing, the obsession with sex, the worthlessness, and, in a twisted kind of way, the actual power the victim has over the abuser; all the reasons they exist and do what they do.


YouTube - Nine Inch Nails - Closer

You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
(Help me) I broke apart my insides, (help me) I’ve got no soul to sell
(Help me) the only thing that works for me, (help me) get away from myself

I want to **** you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to **** you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

You can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything
(Help me) tear down my reason, (help me) its' your sex I can smell
(Help me) you make me perfect, (help me) become somebody else

I want to **** you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to **** you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
You are the reason I stay alive

I always thought "Earl" by the Dixie Chicks would be appropriate.

I think most of the songs listed above are depressing and vile. So I want to recommend far superior songs that will help any sad sap get over an abusive relationship almost immediately.

1. Walking On Sunshine.
2. I touch Myself.
3. Hamster Dance song
4. Be My lover
5. Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls
