    I am looking for some songs that are in ref to celebrating leaving, seeing the light, realizing what you were told wasnt right, being happy w your life, etc etc. All those emotions about being controlled and repressed, being told what you can feel or think or how to live, blindly following the "brotherhood ".

    Muse, the uprising. Emphasis not mine.


    Paranoia is in bloom The PR,
    Transmissions will resume They'll try to
    Push drugs that keep us all dumbed down And hope,
    That we will never see the truth around
    Another promise, another scene, another,
    Packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed,
    And all the green belts wrapped around our minds and endless
    Red tape to keep the truth confined

    [Chorus]
    They will not force us
    They will stop degrading us
    They will not control us
    We will be victorious

    [Verse 2]
    Interchanging mind control Come let the
    Revolution take it's toll
    If you could flick a switch and open your third eye
    You'd see that we should never be afraid to die
    Rise up and take the power back It's time the
    Fat cats had a heart attack
    You know that their time's coming to an end, We have to
    Unify and watch our flag ascend


    [Chorus]
    They will not force us
    They will stop degrading us
    They will not control us
    We will be victorious

    Foo fighters--pretender


    Keep you in the dark
    You know they all pretend
    Keep you in the dark
    And so it all began

    Send in your skeletons
    Sing as their bones come marching in... Again
    They need you buried deep
    The secrets that you keep are at the ready
    Are you ready?
    I'm finished making sense
    Done pleading ignorance
    That whole... Defense

    Spinning infinity, boy
    The wheel is spinning me
    It's never-ending, never-ending
    Same old story

    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
    You're the pretender
    What if I say I will never surrender?


    In time or so I'm told
    I'm just another soul for sale... Oh, well
    The page is out of print
    We are not permanent
    We're temporary, temporary
    Same old story

    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
    You're the pretender
    What if I say that I'll never surrender

    I'm the voice inside your head
    You refuse to hear
    I'm the face that you have to face
    Mirrored in your stare
    I'm what's left, I'm what's right
    I'm the enemy
    I'm the hand that will take you down
    Bring you to your knees

    So who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?

    Keep you in the dark
    You know they all pretend

    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
    You're the pretender
    What if I say that I'll never surrender?


    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    (Keep you in the dark)
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
    (You know they all... Pretend)
    You're the pretender
    What if I say I will never surrender?

    So who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?

    And the last of my favorite 3, john Lennon, watching the wheels


    People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
    Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
    When I say that I'm O. K. Well they look at me kind of strange
    Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

    People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
    Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
    When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
    Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

    I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
    I really love to watch them roll
    No longer riding on the merry-go-round
    I just had to let it go

    Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
    Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
    Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
    I tell them there's no hurry
    I'm just sitting here doing time

    I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
    I really love to watch them roll
    No longer riding on the merry-go-round
    I just had to let it go
    I just had to let it go
    I just had to let it go

    Fight Song.


    Like a small boat

    On the ocean
    Sending big waves
    Into motion
    Like how a single word
    Can make a heart open
    I might only have one match
    But I can make an explosion

    And all those things I didn't say
    Wrecking balls inside my brain
    I will scream them loud tonight
    Can you hear my voice this time

    This is my fight song
    Take back my life song
    Prove I'm alright song
    My power's turned on

    Simple Plan - Perfect (for children who have left the truth)

    Hey dad, look at me
    Think back and talk to me
    Did I grow up according to the plan?
    And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
    But it hurts when you disapprove all along

    And now I try hard to make it
    I just wanna make you proud
    I'm never gonna be good enough for you
    I can't pretend that I'm alright
    And you can't change me

    'Cause we lost it all
    Nothing lasts forever
    I'm sorry
    I can't be perfect
    Now it's just too late
    And we can't go back
    I'm sorry
    I can't be perfect

    I try not to think
    About the pain I feel inside
    Did you know you used to be my hero?
    All the days you spent with me
    Now seem so far away
    And it feels like you don't care anymore

    And now I try hard to make it
    I just wanna make you proud
    I'm never gonna be good enough for you
    I can't stand another fight
    And nothing's alright

    'Cause we lost it all
    Nothing lasts forever
    I'm sorry
    I can't be perfect
    Now it's just too late
    And we can't go back
    I'm sorry
    I can't be perfect

    Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
    Nothing's gonna make this
    right again
    Please don't turn your back
    I can't believe it's hard
    Just to talk to you
    But you don't understand

    'Cause we lost it all
    Nothing lasts forever
    I'm sorry
    I can't be perfect
    Now it's just too late
    And we can't go back
    I'm sorry
    I can't be perfect

    'Cause we lost it all
    Nothing lasts forever
    I'm sorry
    I can't be perfect
    Now it's just too late
    And we can't go back
    I'm sorry
    I can't be perfect

    For some reason, I think of Jwism whenever I listen to some songs on Pink Floyd's "The Wall."

    Sorry... probably not a good choice for celebrating. He was trying to escape his societal norms and requisites - that's what may be taking me there.

    "Uprising", definitely; good call (I really wanna try that song at a karaoke party some day).

    "Losing My Religion"...

    "We are the Champions"...

    "All Along the Watchtower" (obvious, really)...
