Silverchair - Ana's Song
Please die, Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
and sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now, somehow
And I need you now, somehow
Open fire
On my needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire
On my knees desires
What I need from you
Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film
And I need you now, somehow
And I need you now, somehow
Open fire
On my needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire
On my knees desires
What I need from you
And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life
Open fire
On the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire
On my knees desires
What I need from you
Open fire
On the needs designed
Open fire
On my knees desires
On my knees for you

Alanis Morissette - Mary Jane
What's the matter Mary Jane, you had a hard day
As you place the don't disturb sign on the door
You lost your place in line again, what a pity
You never seem to want to dance anymore
It's a long way down
On this roller coaster
The last chance streetcar
Went off the track
And you're on it
I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane
What's the point of trying to dream anymore
I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane
Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for
Well it's full speed baby
In the wrong direction
There's a few more bruises
If that's the way
You insist on heading
Please be honest Mary Jane
Are you happy
Please don't censor your tears
You're the sweet crusader
And you're on your way
You're the last great innocent
And that's why I love you
So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish
Worry not about the cars that go by
All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom
Keep warm my dear, keep dry
Tell me
Tell me
What's the matter Mary Jane

Manic Street Preachers (often known colloquially as "The Manics") are a Welsh rock band often associated with the Britpop scene, who gained mainstream popularity in the UK in the late 1990s. They are known for their intelligent and often political ly
Manic Street Preachers - 4st 7lb
Spoken: "I eat too much to live and not enough to stay alive. I'm just sitting in the middle, waiting."
Days since I last pissed
Cheeks sunken and despaired
So gorgeous sunk to six stone
Lose my only remaining home
See my third rib appear
A week later all my flesh disappear
Stretching taut, cling-film on bone
I'm getting better
Karen says I've reached my target weight
Kate and Emma and Kristin know it's fake
Problem is diet's not a big enough word
I wanna be so skinny that I rot from view
I want to walk in the snow
And not leave a footprint
I want to walk in the snow
And not soil its purity
Stomach collapsed at five
Lift up my skirt my sex is gone
Naked and lovely and 5st. 2
May I bud and never flower
My vision's getting blurred
But I can see my ribs and I feel fine
My hands are trembling stalks
And I can feel my breasts are sinking
Mother tries to choke me with roast beef
And sits savouring her sole Ryvitta
That's the way you're built my father said
But I can change, my cocoon shedding
I want to walk in the snow
And not leave a footprint
I want to walk in the snow
And not soil its purity
Kate and Kristin and Kit Kat
All things I like looking at
Too weak to fuss, too weak to die
Choice is skeletal in everybody's life
I choose, my choice, I starve to frenzy
Hunger soon passes and sickness soon tires
Legs bend, stockinged I am Twiggy
And I don't mind the horror that surrounds me
Self-worth scatters, self esteem's a bore
I long since moved to a higher plateau
This discipline's so rare so please applaud
Just look at the fat scum who pamper me so
Yeah 4st. 7, an epilogue of youth
Such beautiful dignity in self-abuse
I've finally come to understand life
Through staring blankly at my navel.

About the Band
- FILTER
The official site. - Filter on Wikipedia
Filter is a rock group formed in 1993 by Richard Patrick and guitarist/programmer Brian Liesegang.
Filter - Skinny
So here you are in your small little world
Kept up like a little precious virgin girl
To hear 'bout your grace and your silly face
Wrapped up like a knot in a ball of shoelace
And everytime I talk to you
It sounds like you're caught in a psychological flu
Don't ever let them see you cheat
Don't Ever let them see you bleed
Don't Ever let them shake your hand
Don't ever let them believe that scam
Skinny
And it will make you cry
Skinny
And it will make you lie
Skinny
And if it makes you soft inside
Skinny
At least you will not die
And if you take a good look at them
All caught up in their graciousless win
Every sin is their seamless smile
Will go on for a countless while
And just because they think they won
It just means that the shit has just begun
Don't ever let them see you cheat
Don't ever let them see you beat
Don't ever let them shake your hand
Don't ever let them believe that scam
Skinny
And it will make you cry
Skinny
And it will make you lie
Skinny
And if it makes you soft inside
Skinny
At least you will not die
Yeah, skinny, skinny, huh

About the Band
- Saves the Day
Official Site - Saves the Day on Wikipedia
Saves The Day originally performed in the New Jersey area under the name Sefler as a five-piece band. The name change came sometime around late 1997. Of the original lineup, only Chris Conley remains today. - Saves the Day - YouTube Channel
Saves the Day - Cars and Calories
Her life was magazines
And faithful TV screens
Selling an empty dream
Of cars and calories
Everything in between
The sun and Saturn's ring
The price tag can't be seen
And it took bites
Out of her insides
'Till she was just a hollow shell
Grew up in east LA
Watching celebrities
Living out all of her dreams.
The plastic canopy
Of US royalty
Drew her gaze towards the sky
Away from her own mind
And it took bites
Out of her insides
'Till she was just a hollow shell
And at her home her mother cried
Cause daddy had something on the side
They didn't look up when she sighed
When August came around
Bathing suits on the ground
Replaced by a cotton cloak
To see her own reflection
Was like squinting in the sun
And when all tomorrow brings
Is a set of broken wings
Well it takes bites
Out of your insides,
'Till you are just a hollow shell
And it took bites
Out of her insides
'Till she was just a hollow shell

its Daddy by Jewel
My bones are tired, Daddy I don't get enough sleep I don't eat as good as I should, Daddy What's that say about me? Sometimes I sleep past noon, Daddy Drink lots of black coffee and I smoke like a chimney, Yes, I left the refrigerator door half open, Daddy What's that say about me? Sometimes I want to rip out your throat, Daddy For all those things you said that were mean, Gonna make you just as vulnerable as I was, Daddy What's that say about me? Sometimes I want to bash in your teeth, Daddy Gonna use your tongue as a stamp Gonna rip your heart out the way you did mine, Daddy Go ahead and psycho-analyse that 'Cause I'm your creation, I'm your love Daddy Grew up to be and do all those sick things you said I'd do Well last night I saw you sneak out your window With your white hood, Daddy What's that say about you? I'm sloppy, what's that say about you? I'm messy, what's that say about you?
i have bulimia and I was wondering if there were any songs anyone knows up to relate specifically to this disease?
definitely "numbers" by pompeii, it's written about bulimia
"my problems hide in numbers that leave when i gag and heave.."
My favorite Mia song is Me and Mia by Ted Leo and the Pharmacist
there is also anorexia - flaw
i love anorexic beauty by pulp <3
oh man this forum is making me feel all ana again

Stop Eating by Cex
i've had an eating disorder for years, and one of the most powerful moments I can remember was when one of my treatment therapist played the song "Piece of Glass" by Cademon's Call...absolutely amazing!
Can’t believe that I did it again Wake me up from this nightmare Cause this monster is wasting me away and taking my days Every day I live a bit less; one night leads to another Even if I went back would they recognize me or criticize me Who are you that lies when you stare in my face Telling me that I’m just a trace of the person I once was Cause I just can't tell if you're telling the truth or a lie On you I just can't rely After all you're just a piece of glass Still I control this nightmare, when I call it answers But I can't tell it when to come, or when to stay Who are you that lies when you stare in my face Telling me that I’m just a trace of the person I once was Cause I just can't tell if you're telling the truth or a lie On you I just can't rely After all you're just a piece of glass Don’t talk, listen Hold me tighter Stay with me just for a while Until the sun shines stay with me Just give me one more day Who are you that lies when you stare in my face Telling me that I’m just a trace of the person I once was Cause we're not the same, you're just a picture of me You’re gone as soon as I leave; you've lived my life for me And you're no more than a piece of glass You're no more than just a piece of glass
also, what a way to wanna be by shania twain
<3

4st 7lbs- Manic Street Preachers
Mirror- Barlowgirl
Courage- Superchick
Ana's Song- Silverchair
Lucy At The Gym- Jill Sobule
Skin & Bones- Mariana's Trench
bones by the killers
gone with the sin by HIMits rumoured that the lead singer wrote this song for one of his ex's with anorexia
be like that by 3 doors down
keep holding on by avril
walking on air by kerli
yellow by coldplay
Crazy by Simple Plan
Don't know if this was said, but Never Good Enough by Rachel Ferguson is a good one.
Personally, I think "Control" by Alexisonfire is more so about someone suffering from depression in general, but there are loads of people convinced it's about anorexia. Can't blame them with lyrics like;
"Say that you're in control, you say that you are, [but] I can't think of a time when you've looked less alive"
"Look past the mirror and find, just look past the mirror, that there's something inside, something more to your life"
Hello people..to you all who have know THAT hell on earth..to all of you who simple want to know more about how we feel...for the ones who are still struggling...for the ones who can now look back and wonder how on earth they survived...for the ones who now live in relative peace but the ashes and dust of those days are deeply carved in their hearts...for the ones who where sadly conquered by their demons...
One of my most beloved compositions...fiinally recorded this year, available now just to download but hopefuly will be released as a vinyl next year....
For you all.."hungerstirke" by eLaMoRTe...
http://audiostreet.net/elamortethequestion
peace and good moon....
Pray..pray to be delivered from satan's feast....
Disturbia by Rihanna
chica fresa-amandititita
I don't know or it's a song about ED's but it does reminds me of it every time a listen to it. I'm talking about"you are the moon" by the hush sound. It's just a wonderful song... so dreamy
Hedley - Gunnin' - amazing and soo sad.
Geez... thank you Katharine for this post because I've been searching the title and the band of this song for a year and finally, Hedley it was, and I found it here!! that's great!!
for me, my favorite songs related to how I feel are:
angel, sarah mchlaclan
courage, superchick
mary jane, alanis morissette
let go, frou frou (for some reasons...)
and
Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles (about being lonely)
Two good songs not necessarily having to do with ana but still remind me are: Let Go by Imogen Heap and Smoke by Natalie Imbruglia
Anna Begins - counting crows.
About a man who loves an anorexic.
From first to last - World War me
I know two French songs about eating disorders but.. it's in French
June by Indochine
(about bulimnia mostly)
and
Ficelle by Syrano
(about anorexia)
Uhm well I know of soooo many but the main one is Alanis Morisette(think that is how it is spelt) and its called You live,You learn.
all about learning and if you think about it with anorexia in mind..well there ya go!
uhm anything by katy rose is really good for eating disorders, especially Lemon. some song quotes of hers: "And starving hurts the sould when you're hungry for some love." "soups on hot, feeling like a do or die. i can't throw up i dont think i even wanna' try." "Still my hand won't go to the other side, My boney fingers stay locked here." "i think that we're all starving." "i don't know how i'll eat today, every option's looking gray." "Try not to be so all alone. it's hard to hear my stomach when it groans." and yeah.
My Chemical Romance is my favorite band, but I have to say I don't see even a remote connection with any of their songs and EDs.
Although, I guess you can pretty much read into any song what you want, people color things in with their own perspective, so to speak.
Maria Mena - Eyesore "The ugly naked truth: She starves me of my youth, And I stand alone until You catch on. I swear it's not by choice. But Ana has this voice, And it calms me down, It gives me purpose." AND
"My worth is measured solely According to the scale. I am heavy, but I feel frail."
Maria Mena - Cause and Effect "I can't laugh too hard, I'm on a diet. I'm trying to lose myself, You ought to try it. Just starve for six days straight, Oh, it's a riot. Ev-e-ry Sun-day night. I binge, and I barf, 'cause I carry the Scars of an eight-year-old, Whose mother applied the same rules To her kid's body, As her own."
I have absolutley loaaaaaaaddddddddddsss!.

first song-hipbones and microphones by cute is what we aim for
Angels and Airwaves: The Adventure
Missy Higgins: Casualty

Neko Case: Hold on Hold on
Matchbox 20: bed of lies
Sheryl Crowe: I shall believe
Silverchair: Straight Lines
World war Me From first to last

The Fear-Lily Allen
Kinda punk and kinda funny, but so true...
II by alive in wild paint --this is from the guys point of view as he sees the girl
and i know this song isnt about eds but one part reminds me every time i hear it. its chelsea hotel no. 2 by leonard cohen or you may like the regina spektor version better. the part is:
"And clenching your fist for the ones like uswho are oppressed by the figures of beauty,you fixed yourself, you said, 'Well never mind,we are ugly but we have the music.'"
I've Been Eating For You - The Bright Eyes.
Half these songs have nothing to do with ED. Strawberry Gashes? That's about Self Harm. Not Gunna Get Us, is about the reationship between those two girls. Fully Alive and Broken, no. I'm sorry. I just don't want you guys to be lead on the wrong way.
Fully Alive is about getting saved and finding Jesus, so that is SO wrong. Flyleaf is a Christian band
Binge and Purge by Lunachicks
du löst dich auf by fotos.its a german song, really good actually
"Someone I once knew" by Dead Celebrity Status
You want a gritty, killer song about an eating disorder?
Schoolyard Heroes - Battlestar Anorexia
Sick of it All by The Distillers. Also Hall of Mirrors by them, if you read the lyrics in the right way it can be about beating an eating disorder; eg 'meat petals bloom in a bone garden'
great hub, I think this is the best way to overcome eating disorder.
"My Sweet Prince" by Placebo is about heroin, not ED.
Sonic Youth - Tunic (Song For Karen)
Alexisonfire - Control
Alexisonfire - To a Friend
if you are not into this type of music you should at least check out the lyrics. I think the second one is just about any type of inner battle.

Paper Bag is by FAR the best song. I urge anyone who hasn't heard it to check it out. Anyone who has anorexia/ bulimia will be able to completely relate to the chorus; we've all been in that position.

Apulanta: Poistuisitko mun elämästäni
I don't know if you guys are interested in songs that aren't in English. But this is a Finnish one that has helped me a lot in my recovery process from ana. It's not an ED specific song but it's really powerful, full of anger. It is just what I'd like to say to my ED. Here's a translation of the song:
What, oh what went into me back then? What, what, what did I see in you? Why do you eek and squeak like a rat? I'd like to bite your face off!
Could you get out of my life? Could you take away your ugly face? Could you get out of my life? Could you take away your ugly face?
What, what did you put into my coffee? I feel so sick. Can't you see you get up my nose? Baby, baby you're hopeless!
Could you get out of my life? Could you take away your ugly face? Could you get out of my life? Could you take away your ugly face?
Out of my life, your ugly face, out of my life, you and all your friends!
C-c-could you get out of my life? Could you take away your ugly face? Could you get out of my life? Could you take away your ugly face?
Could you get out of my life? Could you take away your ugly face? Could you get out of my life? Could you take away your rotten smell?
Out of my life, your ugly face, out of my life, you and all your friends!
To people going "THIS AND THAT SONG ISN'T ABOUT EATING DISORDERS BLAHBLAH!"
The beauty of music and lyrics is that you can interpret them any way you like, a certain song can relate to what you're feeling at whatever point in your life, doesn't matter what the songwriter was actually writing about.
It's poetry, it's art, it should be interpreted by each individual:/
Eyesore -Maria mena
The ugly naked truth:
She starves meof my youth, And I stand alone untilYou catch on.I swear it's notby choice.But Ana has this voice, And it calms me down, It gives me purpose.And it's alright, I'm alright, I want to be okay.I've seen it before, This eyesore; it's me.Ohh, ohh, ohh, me.I want out from underThis confining skinThat I soreluctantly live in.My worth ismeasured solelyAccording to the scale.I am heavy, but Ifeel frail.And it's alright, I'm alright, I want to be okay.I've seen it before, This eyesore; it's me.Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohhh.
another good song that i havent seen listed is Hold On by Wilson Philips. it hits the spot... just listen to it and youll know it.
Um, Gary Jules didn't write Mad World. He covered it. It's a Tears For Fears song. And Tears For Fears has a lot of good songs that can relate to EDs.
Skinny little bitch by angelspit is an epic song x]
beautiful-agape..he deicated to his friend with anorexic..I have anorexic and bulimia sysmtoms but recovery is better

Infection by Chihiro Onitsuka is a good one, but it is in Japanese. It has the video on youtube with the subtitles, very sad...
Hi, um these songs are ok but tbh there aren't many that have the darker side, they are mostly done in a kind of happy mood so if anyone has real good darker, maybe rock or punk style would be much appreciated. I like listening to the ano songs when im down to remind me how crap it was so this upbeat stuff kinda messes with my mind.

A song doesn't have to be ABOUT ED's in order for you to put it on this forum. It's what you take from the song, you can take almost every song and pick something out from it that you can relate back to your ED.
My favourite song that I feel I can relate to ED wise is 'Believe In Me' by Demi Lovato.
"Don't know where to turn, I've been stuck in this routine." & "I don't wanna be afraid, I wanna wake up feeling beautiful today. And know that I'm okay, 'cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways. You see, I just wanna believe in me." & "The mirror can lie, doesn't show you whats inside. And it can tell you you're full of life, it's amazing what you can hide, just by putting on a smile."

Dear Friend by Marie Digby
Stand in the Rain by Superchick
Someone I Once Knew by Dead Celebrity Status
Diamond by Amanda Falk
Charade by Amanda Falk
Slow Fade by Casting Crowns
Breathe Again By Jimmy Robbins
[Chorus]
She's got this journal filled
With all her black ink guilt
And love is the only thing keeping her alive
She's got her mind made up
That all she needs is love
Her heart is the only thing helping her decide
To breathe again, to breathe again
[Verse 1]
And when she's tired she doesn't sleep
A week since I've seen her eat
She's skin and bones, she's beautiful
No matter what
I wish I could help her see
She means the world to me
But the world, it doesn't mean much to her
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I'll be there to split your lips
Like when the ice berg hits
And the ship has to break apart
Show its teeth and smile
[Chorus]
She's got this journal filled
With all her black ink guilt
And love is the only thing keeping her alive
She's got her mind made up
That all she needs is love
And she'll breathe again
And she'll breathe again
And she'll breathe again
She'll breathe again, again
Thankyou SO SO much everyone!!

Wow, I didn't realize there were so many songs about this subject.
Wow, I didn't realize there were so many songs about this subject.
A lot of them can be taken to relate to the eating disorder- like having a lost lover or something, because eating disorders are like abusive lovers- they beat you, but you still love them and can't leave them *le sigh*.
I don't know if this has been mentioned but it's not that common so...
Annies Anorexic-The Huntingtons.
And I know Bones by The Killers isn't e.d. related but it makes me think of two anorexic people hooking up xD.
