Favorite Aspie-expressive song?

[Idahocalypse]

Many of Owl City's songs resonate with me on a deep level, often to the point of getting chills and crying. Not surprising considering he is allegedly on the spectrum himself (or so I've heard).

It's hard just choosing one out of so many songs he's done, but I'll have to go with "Plant Life". (Maybe that's part of the reason why Leafeon is my favorite Eeveelution...)

"Plant Life" by Owl City

I saw a ghost on the chairs
And sheets on the tables & chairs
The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink
Even so, I don't know what to think

I've been longing for
Daisies to push through the floor
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
So I won't feel dead anymore

I saw a bear in the den
Reading my textbooks again
Bats float like traffic
As they poured through the attic
Heaven knows
I could really use a friend

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings,
Would you strum on mine?

I've been longing for
Daisies to push through the floor
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
So I won't feel dead anymore

Your spirit is sweet
So pull off your sheet
And give me a ghost of a smile
Show me your teeth
'Cause you're a teddy beneath
So just grin and bear it awhile

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings,
Would you strum on mine?

Tonight I'm busting out
Of this old haunted house
'Cause I'm sick of waiting for
All the spider webs to grow all around me
'Cause I don't feel dead anymore
And I'm not afraid anymore

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings,
Would you strum on mine?

If I were to pluck on your heartstrings,
Would you strum on mine?

No eyed girl by lemon demon.

I interpret the lyrics as a relationship from an aspies point of view. My interpretation isn't clear cut with the lyrics, but there are some good moments where the lyrics do line up with it. The song in a literal science is about him falling in love with a ghost, so it is deffinatly up for metaphorical interpretation.

Oh, knowing what we know, knowing what we don't know
This is gonna change our world
Feeling how I feel
I'll accept the unreal


If you be my no-eyed girl
From nowhere, mankind can't go there
There's too much light
Blinding white
Your matter tells mine to scatter
It's alri-i-i-ight
It's alright


From the moment that we met, I've been awake
Like I've never been awake in all my life
If I spoke your language I could tell you how I feel
But your language isn't real
In every myth there's a little bit of truth
But I cannot say a thing, I cannot say a thing
Without proof, oh no


Knowing what we know, knowing we do not know
This is gonna change our world
I might go insane
If I learn your full name


If you be my no-eyed girl
From nowhere, mankind can't go there
There's too much light
Blinding white
Emotions, human implosions
It's alri-i-i-ight
It's alright


Right before the kiss I noticed something in the air
Molecules existed when there should have been none there
Chemical reactions with the surface of your skin
Some will say my actions let the no-eyed people in


And I'd do it all again
And I'd do it all again (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
And I'd do it all again (Do it all again)

All the....that you've been through
I don't ever wanna see you down
And I gotta say, "Me too"
'Cause I've been where you are right now

[Verse 1]
I was a bright child, wide eyed, my mind was open
Highly motivated to succeed, quite devoted
But eventually I noticed every time I tried to focus
That my mind was kind of bogus, so we sought a diagnosis
I had hypersensitivity; ADD, I'm fidgety
Basically they want to medicate me 'til it fixes me
Man, I don't really think this is the thing for me
I know I'm kind of ******, but I'm just trying to live in peace
You wanna make me to a zombie 'cause you're lazy
And it's easier on you to say, "Sorry, you're crazy, man"
And if you don't take this here, you're gonna fail exams
Wait a year, your fate is that of a vagrant tramp
But this ain't making sense, I gotta take a stand
They say I couldn't live without it, well, I say I can
'Cause I never took those poison pills
And I failed school bad, but my choice was still

[Hook]
Good, I feel good
Knock on wood 'cause I wanna feel this way tomorrow
Mono, mono, mono, mono
Good, I feel good
Knock on wood 'cause I wanna feel this way tomorrow
Saying mono, mono, mono, mono

Verse 2]
We making bread like Helga's while the rest die helpless
So excuse me for pursuing dreams, guess I'm selfish
Rocking hand-me-down clothes but I'm the eldest
So how the hell does that work out, Mum, can you tell us?
And I know I roll around with some red-eyed fellas
We all wanna be king like the dead guy in Memphis,
Could be living stable but I'd rather live it fast
'Cause I grew up looking ******, all the other kids would laugh
Now I heard somebody say that I look upper-middle class
Well that's my ****ing aim, I'll tell the gutter, kiss my arse
And I don't want to spit these bars but I don't have **** else
So when I'm rapping you can tell that it's my actual self
And so I brag about a girl, whatever tactic helps
To make me feel a little better 'bout the hand I'm dealt
And damn, I'm so ashamed, but at the same time
I know it's all good, I'm having a great time
It's all good

[Hook]
Good, I feel good
Knock on wood 'cause I wanna feel this way tomorrow
Mono, mono, mono, mono
Good, I feel good
Knock on wood 'cause I wanna feel this way tomorrow
Saying mono, mono, mono, mono

[Verse 2]
We making bread like Helga's while the rest die helpless
