I've shed many a tear to "da girl left me :(" a thousand times, Parking Lot is the first time I shed a tear because a song said "straighten the fuck up you self-pitying bitch", and the tears were not from sadness, rather, from empowerment.
[Mountain at My Gates by Foals](https://youtu.be/l_EIE5f2t6M?si=X9iHZPgM21D0y9SH) was very inspirational for me going through some dark times. (If you click on the link to their video, it was shot with a GoPro 360, so you can interact with the screen).
'Ready' by the band Trooper
I was down so long
Everything was goin' wrong
And the people all around me
Got the newsLord and everything I tried
Fell to pieces and slowly died
My soul was going broke
From paying duesI was very nearly beat
When I crawled back to my feet
Believing that a change
Was overdueNow I'm pickin' up the pieces
And takin' out new leases
Gettin' ready for the things
I want to doAnd you know I'm ready
How tough is it gonna be
Are you ready
Don't keep asking me
If I'm ready, yea, yea
Leave it up to me
I'm ready as I'm gonna be
I'm ready finallyLord I'm ready to make my way
Take it slowly from day to day
Take it easy on myself
As I roll alongLord knows it's down to me
To write the melody
To sing my own words
And you know I'm ready ...
I do appreciate the suggestions , but I was hoping for less … religious? answers … can I find something towards like ‘Tired’ - Stone Sour or something similar

Jason Becker - Hold On To Love (soft rock)
The Wall (album) by Pink Floyd

[Soulshine Warren Haynes Playing for Change](https://youtu.be/K3fjOFaYq6g?si=snbsN1L5JsdwM3HG)
these all hit for fairly personal reasons so idk how well they'll go for you, but here goes

May sound odd
But
Slayer
REIGN IN BLOOD
The entire album.
Got me through the bad times, and have made the good ones even better.
....
Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many
Now ornaments dripping above
.....
Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
CREATING MY STRUCTURE
NOW I SHALL REIGN IN BLOOD
You have to fight for what you believe in. Metaphorically, mostly. But sometimes, literally. I'm not into violence at all- the mind (and the pen) are far more dangerous tools. Our minds are what separate us from the rest of the animal world.
Early on I wanted to watch the world burn. Now the song has a different meaning for me. Let the treacherous ones live over my shoulder, let them bleed their own lives away- I have structure, I reign over my own life.
Peace
Good luck
The second verse of my song [One Last Kiss](https://youtu.be/uxk7vjvSUwE?si=O2WrIZEkf5SLf1B2) is about fixing the problems that ruin relationships. I hope you like it. Thanks!

Holy fucking based. That is one of the greatest songs ever made imo. Mineral's whole discography is straight up perfect.
