Or perhaps, you long to scream and shriek and roar at the gall of your arch enemy?
Maybe you just really, really, really don't like someone and you are suppressing evil thoughts that stir in your brain...
(Someone nodded at one of the above mentioned things, I know you did)
Either way, I think we all can say that we have been angry at some point or another in our lives. Thankfully, since everyone has this emotion, there are plenty of songs that narrate the feeling of ire.
I have thus, created a list of the best angry songs based on lyrics, music, and that overall emotion coursing into our ears and through our being.
10. Swept Away, ( Flyleaf)
If it wasn't for the mediocre chorus, I would've put this song higher on my list. But as it stands, it's only the bridge and the verses that are awesome. But boy, are they awesome!
To me the lyrics are talking about a person that is holier-than-thou, and said person is a liar as well. "The evil fell from your pretty mouth"
I can feel the pent up aggression as it builds and builds, until Lacey Sturm just lets all of it go. "Get this hell out, get this hell out, out, out of my way!"
9. Coming Down, (Five Finger Death Punch)
There's defiantly some ire behind Ivan Moody's words, though they may not blatantly state something we all can relate to, I appreciate the underlying message that he won't conform to someone else's expectations.
Plus, Jeremy Spencer is killing the drums in this song, ( as he always does).
8. Next Contestant, ( Nickleback)
Eh, this one isn't about something totally relatable, and I was going for songs that WEREN'T about romantic relationships.
But technically, it isn't about a relationship, it's about being a tad possessive and not liking the fact that the person one is in a relationship with, is being flirted with. (Unnecessary explanation)
I really like the groove to this song, so it's number eight.
7. Fake it, (Seether)
"Whoa, you're such a f****** hypocrite"
I think that pretty much wraps it up.
6. Sick, (Evanescence)
This song is about frustration ( in my opinion).
She's 'sick of it all', and we've been there.
Rejecting the norm of someone else, giving up on trying to fix the twisted minds of others, knowing the truth, and just not giving a flying flip what anybody says about you.
The groove is cool too; it gives me time to think out who I am mad at and brood...it's a broody groove.
"I can still taste the poison, of every thought, every breath I wasted here"
5. Bodies, (Drowning Pool)
If you are like me and have homicidal thoughts (not really, I just want to crush building with my bare hands), then this song is your soulmate.
Okay, okay, he's not really talking about killing people...as a matter of fact, I think the song is about his parents...
It doesn't really matter to me. He's mad, I'm mad, it's a nice/toxic combination.
"One: nothing wrong with me. Two: nothing wrong with me. Three: nothing wrong with me. Four: nothing wrong with me!"
4. Bury me alive, (We are the fallen)
These lyrics are self-explanatory: a loved one makes them feel like their suffocating and said loved one doesn't give a crap.
Personally, I can feel the betrayal and disappointment when Carly Smithson sings.
I like how she does seen angry without screaming or cussing every other breath.
"You bury me alive, and everybody's got to breathe somehow, don't leave me to die, you're too consumed by your own emptiness and lies"
3. My name -wearing me out-, (Shinedown)
To me, this song is the embodiment of anger. I hear it and it doesn't matter if I was angry beforehand or not, I want to curse someone until their ears bleed. (No, I am not psychotic, just a little bit sadistic).
But I didn't make it number one, because I adore Shinedown, and I do not want to be biased.
Basically, it's about being fed up, and being sick of the person that is constantly trying to bring you down. ( Man, I hate people like that).
The band is jamming, and yes, I did headbang once to it.
I HEART the lyrics:
"My name is worthless like you told me I once was, my name is empty 'cuz you drained away the love, my name is searching since you stole my only soul, my name is hatred and for reasons we both know"
2. Come again, (Staind)
"I hate myself for you, I break myself for you, I'd kill myself for you, I'd better save myself from you. Every time you want me to be, something I could never be, guess we'll have to wait and see, 'til the next time that you have to come again"
These lyrics obviously have some serious conflict, pain, and eventual fury.
I have memorized the words backwards and forwards, so if ever need be, I will revert to these words in an argument.
1. Taking you down, (Egypt Central)
Put this song on your 'I hate people' playlist or mix tape.
From beat, music, lyrics, and delivery of the lyrics, it rocks. I mean, it literally screams livid.
I completely feel it and am in total agreement with John Falls, I'm just saying.
This track has now been officially crowned (by unofficial) me, the King of Rage Song. (Cheese, bite me).
It's reward is postage of all the lyrics.
"I've had enough, I'm taking you down, taking you down; I've had enough, I'm taking you down, taking you down.
You've been all up in my face, out of line and out of place, blurring views, distorting facts, every time I turn my back.
I'll make you know your position, don't talk, just shut up and listen. Bi way out now, you can't play dumb. Get up, get out, 'cuz you'll get some!
I've had enough, I'm taking you down, taking you down. I've had enough, I'm taking you down, taking you down.
I feel the hate that you breath, it's the fix that feeds your greed, set your bait, set your trap, take a seat and watch me snap!
I'll shake the ground that you stand on, I'll still be here when your long gone. This moment's mine, you can't have it, it's my turn to burn and wreak havoc.
I've had enough, I'm taking you down, taking you down. I've had enough, I'm taking you down, taking you down.
Down, down, I'll take you down, down, down, I'll take you down!
I've had enough, I'm taking you down, taking you down. I've had enough, I'm taking you down, taking you down."
So there you have it, the playlist for my enemies.
*Sigh* : I wish I was hulk, because then I wouldn't need these songs.
*Inner self gasps* : Blasphemy
*Grins Sheepishly*
