Songs that maybe bring you back to a special place, or think a certain thing, or remember a relative who's gone, or a person who betrayed you, or whatever. Something that 'clicks', if you will. It doesn't have to be a positive anthem, either - I know I hold more then my fair share of negative ones.Please post, if this applies to you, a short list of your personal anthems; it would also be great if you could post a reason why this song is a personal anthem of yours. Please feel free to post snippets (only, please - whole songs clog things up a bit) of the tracks if it helps <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />My list:I by Taproot:This song is about change, and it always makes me think back to the good ol' days when I was young. The chorus is almost a mirror of my life:I hate myself sometimesI love myselfcontradictions a way of lifehappiness is healthiness is wealthyLaid to Rest by Lamb of God:I have had, in my lifetime, many people (friends and family) betray me. I'm a trusting person; likely too much for my own well-being. A couple years ago, when I was in the pit of a deep depression, I made a decision; I said, "screw those people," and decided to step forward in my life. This song is an statement: I'm not going to be pushed over by anyone anymore. And I'm going to do it by being the honest, good person I've always been - I'm just not going to put up with crap anymore.I'll chain you to the truth, for the truth shall set you freeI'll turn the crews of vengeance and bury you in honesty"No Sex by Limp BizkitSadly enough, a LB song makes the list. However, it's likely their best, most emotional song in their catalogue. My ex who I went out with with for over 2 years is what this song brings up. The relationship deterioated terribly, and this is what we wrought:"Went too fast, way too soon.I feel disgusted and you should to.Its no good when all that's left is the sex.The sex.Ohne Dich by RammsteinAbout the same ex-girlfriend as before; this is such a sad little song, and it just makes me think of how much I wish she could've worked out, but hot I knew it was futile:"Ohne dich kann ich nicht seinOhne dichMit dir bin ich auch alleinOhne dichOhne dich zähl ich die Stunden ohne dichMit dir stehen die SekundenLohnen nicht""Without you I cannot beWithout youWith you I am alone tooWithout youWithout you I count the hours without youWith you the seconds stand stillThey aren't worth it"World So Cold by MudvayneThis song reflects the abuse I went through as a kid. It got me through a lot of rough nights."Why does everyone feel like my enemy, don't want any part of depression or darkness.I've had enough, sick and tired, bring the sun or I'm gone"Okay, I think that's enough for now <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Anyone else care to share?cheers,--N</blockquote>
