But I think the song that through lyrics and music alone (rather than circumstantial associations) I find myself closest to crying from is Evanescence's "Everybody's Fool", in particular the bridge:<br />Without the mask, where will you hide<br />Can't find yourself, lost in your lies<br />I know the truth now, I know who you are<br />And I don't love you anymore<br /><br />She's facing the fact that the perfect persona she shows to the world is not who she really is, it's just a lie--the person she's saying she doesn't love anymore is herself. I periodically struggle with doubt over whether I'm being true to myself and making choices that will really make me happy, and the idea of deciding that I'm betraying myself, and realizing that I don't love myself anymore is something I fear. That last line there can get me choked up.Elenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661310499468356602noreply@blogger.com
