Let’s face it, we all have one of those days where we just get into a mood. Maybe there’s a reason, maybe there isn’t, but we all have that one day that we’re just down in the dumps. Here’s 8 songs to get you through those days.
1. “Beneath The Skin” – Memphis May Fire
“If only they could see that she’s incredible.” We’ve all had that one day where we don’t feel good enough or we feel like we’re being judged by everyone. Memphis May Fire’s song “Beneath The Skin” tells the story of a girl who feels the same way, and explains that no matter what your true beauty lies within who you are on the inside, not what you look like on the outside.
2. “Dream Catcher” – Set It Off
“Devour the cynics, dismiss the critics, and mark my words they’ll regret it when you cast your net.” We all know that one person that always has something to say. You think you have this amazing idea and then they come in and step all over it and make it sound like it’s shit. Set It Off tells you to ignore those types of people and just do what you want in their song “Dream Catcher.”
3. “Lighthouse” – The Word Alive
“They can’t hold us back. Never forget we are a lighthouse burning on. We will shine on.” The Word Alive tell us that no matter what we can still shine bright and get through whatever it is that’s trying to hold us down. Nothing can stop you from being great.
4. “Missing You” – All Time Low
“Don’t lose your fight kid, it only takes a little push to pull on through.” All Time Low tells us that no matter how tough things get and how badly you may want to give up, there’s always someone there to help. There’s always someone who’s going to miss you, even if you don’t believe it to be true.
5. “I Won’t Give In” – Asking Alexandria
“I’ll be your light in the darkness.” Like All Time Low, Asking Alexandria sends a similar message with their song “I Won’t Give In.” This song sends the message that no matter what there’s always something there to help you and won’t give up if things get too dark.
6. “Savior” – Black Veil Brides
“When I hear your cries, praying for life, I will be there.” You’re never alone, someone will always be there when you feel that way. You never have to face your demons by yourself.
7. “Sunrise” – Our Last Night
“You can make it to the sunrise.” When you’re sitting alone at night and thinking that there’s no way you’re going to make it through the night, Our Last Night gives that little bit of hope that you can make it to the sunrise.
8. “Beside You” – Marianas Trench
“I’ll be right beside you, nobody will break.” Even though this is a song for a significant other, the lyrics can be translated to a deeper meaning. Despite what you’re going through you always have someone there next to you to help you through it and keep the pieces together so you don’t break.
