    If you should find the daily grind a tad bit taxing on the mind; to help unwind if so inclined
    I have a small suggestion...
    That if you dare into my lair, you should prepare for quite a scare
    But "Will you share in this nightmare?" would be my only question

    So then which do you pick:
    Where you're safe, out of sight,
    And yourself, but where everything's wrong?
    Or where everything's right
    But you know that you'll never belong?

    We are strong
    No one can tell us we're wrong
    Searching our hearts for so lo-oo-ong
    Both of us knowing,
    Love is a battlefield.

    The bold part reminds me of the song "Stillborn" by Black Label Society. Have you heard it?

    I've waited here for you
    So lo-oo-ong

    No, I haven't. I mostly listen to 80s music.

    Woah. 80's is pretty good though. Pat Benatar are great. "Shadows of the Night", "We Belong"... great stuff.

    And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
    Or the moment of truth in your lies
    When everything feels like the movies
    Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

    And I don't want the world to see me
    'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
    When everything's made to be broken
    I just want you to know who I am

    Not out at all
    Did you see the closing window?
    Did you hear the slamming door?
    They moved forward, my heart died
    They moved forward, my heart died

    Please, please tell me what they look like
    Did they seem afraid of you?
    They were kids that I once knew
    They were kids that I once knew

    I could say it, but you won't believe me
    You say you do, but you don't deceive me
    It's hard to know they're out there
    It's hard to know that you still care
    I could say it but you wont believe me
    You say you do but you don't deceive me
    Dead hearts are everywhere
    Dead hearts are everywhere

    Me to my depression and mental disorders:

    "Soldiers"

    It’s time to strap our boots on
    This is a perfect day to die
    Wipe the blood out of our eyes

    In this life there’s no surrender
    There’s nothing left for us to do
    Find the strength to see this through

    We are the ones who will never be broken
    With our final breath
    We’ll fight to the death
    We are soldiers, we are soldiers
    Woah woah woah whoa
    We are soldiers

    I stand here right beside you
    Tonight we’re fighting for our lives
    Let me hear your battle cry
    Your battle cry

    We are the ones who will never be broken
    With our final breath
    We’ll fight to the death
    We are soldiers, we are soldiers

    We are the ones who will not go unspoken (not go unspoken)
    No, we will not sleep
    We are not sheep
    We are soldiers, we are soldiers
    Yeah

    We stand shoulder to shoulder
    We stand shoulder to shoulder
    We stand shoulder to shoulder
    You can’t erase us
    You’ll just have to face us

    We stand shoulder to shoulder
    We stand shoulder to shoulder
    We stand shoulder to shoulder
    You can’t erase us
    You’ll just have to face us

    We are the ones who will never be broken (never be broken)
    With our final breath
    We’ll fight to the death
    We are soldiers, we are soldiers

    We are the ones who will not go unspoken (not go unspoken)
    No, we will not sleep
    We are not sheep
    We are soldiers, we are soldiers
    Yeah
    Woah woah woah whoa
    We are soldiers
    Woah woah woah whoa
    We are soldiers
    Woah woah woah whoa
    We are soldiers


    But also due to a recent suicide of a friend of mine:

    How to Save A life:

    Step one, you say we need to talk
    He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
    He smiles politely back at you
    You stare politely right on through
    Some sort of window to your right
    As he goes left, and you stay right
    Between the lines of fear and blame
    You begin to wonder why you came

    Where did I go wrong?
    I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life

    Let him know that you know best
    Cause after all, you do know best
    Try to slip past his defense
    Without granting innocence
    Lay down a list of what is wrong
    The things you've told him all along
    And pray to God he hears you
    And I pray to God he hears you

    Where did I go wrong?
    I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life

    As he begins to raise his voice
    You lower yours and grant him one last choice
    Drive until you lose the road
    Or break with the ones you've followed
    He will do one of two things
    He will admit to everything
    Or he'll say he's just not the same
    And you'll begin to wonder why you came

    Where did I go wrong?
    I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life

    Where did I go wrong?
    I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life

    How to save a life
    How to save a life

    Where did I go wrong?
    I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life

    Where did I go wrong?
    I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life

    How to save a life
    How to save a life

    Original (I modified them a bit though, which messed up the rhymes a bit, but I tried):
    Du siehst so hübsch aus, wenn du neben mir liegst
    Ein Blick und du weißt, du bist die, die ich lieb'
    Du schenkst mir mehr, als ich dir jemals wiedergeben kann
    Halt mich fest und mach, dass ich wieder leben kann

    English (because EC rules about foreign languages):
    You look so pretty when you're lying next to me
    One look and you know you're the one that I love
    You give me more than I can ever give you back
    Hold me tight and make it so I can live again

    Don't wanna call you in the nighttime
    Don't wanna give you all my pieces
    Don't wanna hand you all my trouble
    Don't wanna give you all my demons
    You'll have to watch me struggle
    From several rooms away
    But tonight I'll need you to stay.

    Bless your soul, you've got your head in the clouds,
    You made a fool out of me,
    And, boy, you're bringing me down,
    You made my heart melt, yet I'm cold to the core,
    But rumour has it I'm the one you're leaving her for

    Rumour has it by Adele
    (Though I prefer the mash up of rumour has it/someone like you
    On glee)

    Sometimes the tears we cry
    Are more than any heart can take
    We hurt, just keep it inside
    Small wonder that it starts to break

    I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
    All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
    Dust in the wind
    All they are is dust in the wind

    Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
    All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
    Dust in the wind
    All we are is dust in the wind
    Oh, ho, ho

    Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
    It slips away
    And all your money won't another minute buy
    Dust in the wind
    All we are is dust in the wind
    All we are is dust in the wind
    Dust in the wind
    Everything is dust in the wind
    Everything is dust in the wind
    The wind

    I could run away with Captain Courageous
    I could live on fruit in Montego Bay
    I could run a bar in a war torn front line
    I could do it all, but just not today

    Song is called Solar by Banda do Mar(song lyrics in brazilian portuguese)
    Eu vivia sempre preocupado
    Com a situação solar
    Se eu estou aqui é por acaso
    E pra te ver passar
    Céu azul a cor de meio dia
    A hora é de sair
    Se eu estou em sua companhia
    É pra me distrair
    (translation into english)
    I used to live worried
    About the solar situation
    If I am here it is by chance
    And to see you walk by
    Blue sky, the color of midday
    It's time to go out
    If I am in your company
    It is to distract me.

    You seem to replace
    Your brain with your heart
    You take things so hard
    And then you fall apart
    You try to explain
    But before you can start
    Those cry baby tears
    Come out of the dark
    Someone's turning the handle
    To that faucet in your eyes
    They're pouring out
    Where everyone can see
    Your heart's too big for your body
    It's where your feelings hide
    They're pouring out
    Where everyone can see
    They call you cry baby
    Cry baby
    But you don't fucking care
    Cry baby, cry baby
    So you laugh through your tears
    Cry baby, cry baby
    Cause you don't f***ing care
    Tears fall to the ground
    You just let them drown

    While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
    'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even... even... no

    What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?
    And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK?
    I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
    I'm falling to pieces
