    The song that perfectly describes it? From the album London Calling, The Clash - Clampdown:

    The voices in your head are calling
    Stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming
    Only a fool would think someone could save you
    The men at the factory are old and cunning
    You don't owe nothing, so boy get runnin'
    It's the best years of your life they want to steal

    Song : For A Fool by the Shins

    Young and bright, now just a dim light, off in the distance

    A fallen stone, following the path of least resistance.

    If I still fight, it's just that i'm..afraid i'll slide under that spell again.

    Taken for a fool

    yes i was because I was a fool.

    Tell me what you'd do

    Lost my way in spades, I need a school.

    So many times, caught up in my head at night

    with a leash and lable.

    If I could learn anything from this, then I'd be like

    the fox in the fable, oh right

    If I still fight, it just that I'm

    Afraid I'll slide under that spell again

    The way we used to carry on,

    your stuck in my head like a terrible song

    Taken for a fool

    yes I was, and I was a fool

    Following their rules, guess i wasn't very honest too.

    Taken for a fool ( taken for a fool )

    Yes, I was because I was a fool.

    Heaven

    Sarah McLachlan's "Elsewhere":

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyk3fegcHxc

    I love the time and in between
    The calm inside me
    In the space where I can breathe
    I believe there is a
    Distance I have wandered
    To touch upon the years of
    Reaching out and reaching in
    Holding out holding in

    I believe
    This is heaven to no one else but me
    And I'll defend it as long as I can be
    Left here to linger in silence
    If I choose to
    Would you try to understand

    I know this love is passing time
    Passing through like liquid
    I am drunk in my desire
    But I love the way you smile at me
    I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near

    I believe
    I believe
    This is heaven to no one else but me
    And I'll defend it as long as
    I can be left here to linger in silence
    If I choose to
    Would you try to understand

    Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
    The mold that clings like desperation
    Mother can't you see I've got
    To live my life the way I feel is right for me
    Might not be right for you but it's right for me

    I believe
    I believe
    This is heaven to no one else but me
    And I'll defend it as long as
    I can be left here to linger in silence
    If I choose to
    Would you try to understand it
    I would like to linger here in silence
