Mine would probably be "Pieces" by RED. It describes how I've been and how thanks to my mate I'm (hopefully) coming out of it.

If I ever end up in a situation where I'd have to make a movie about my life I'd have this one play during the intro... and maybe during the credits too...

I could see that
Hmm... do you know me or not?
But hey, I'll post the lyrics here:
JubyPhonic - Tokyo Teddy Bear
To my loving mom and dad, I’m sorry and I’m to blame
Knees weak and crumbling, thumb pressed and bitten away
To my brother, sister, and the rest, I’ll see you around
My sole is blackening, I’m breaking all of it down
Measure out the size of it, sure, any pattern will do
Ends justify the seams, it’s all of the same to you
I cried, why can’t I just be loved, to no one
Maybe grinding my old scissors I could slice the look my off my face
Send me a sign, some god on high, show me the words I need to know
So say I’m fine and clear my mind 'cause why not, I don't know
Facing a new day with a new pain, rocking up and down the night
Ripping at seams, I beg and plead, just sew me up again
To the world I say goodbye, and sir I’m wishing you well
Pushing out my chest to see me drool through tiresome hell
What do I spy with fully open eyes, all that I spy are idiots and lies
What do I spy with fully open eyes, all that I spy are idiots and lies
Aah, can never get enough of the right stuff
Needles oversized to pulverize this heart beating out my chest
Send me a sign, some god on high, show me the words I need to know
So say I’m fine and clear my mind ‘cause why not, I don't know
Facing a new day with a new pain, rocking up and down the night
Ripping at seams, I beg and plead, just sew me up again
There’s nothing to find, no, nothing to find, I severed everything I had
Sinking alive through waves of twine, dragging me down alone
I’m nowhere to find, no, nowhere to find, threw me aside and left again
Running away from now a place I’ll never call a home
Am I alive, ahh shut up, more lies falling out this living mask
Give me the endgame, skip the foreplay before I explode
Can I ever change, can I stay the same, fade away, but save who I am inside
Ripping at seams, I pull the string to finally meet the end
Days at end, the flames alit with life are starting to loom
Patch it up without me then, 'cause anybody will do.
It took nearly dying to realize just how many times I actually have cheated death. While we all suffer these near misses, I've experienced more than my fair share of major and family-impacting near misses. Far too many for my liking. It amazes me how much I've gone through when I look back, and well, it taught me just how short life can really be.
Heart failure, heart going out of rhythm and knocking me out, fever of 103 or so at seven, falling off my bike and hitting my unprotected head only to pass out in the middle of a street, three instances of being nearly t-boned while driving, truck spinning out on black ice and stopping just shy of a cliff, truck spinning out in traffic and the hundreds of unnoticed near misses we have in life.
Moving away from the physical and to the emotional... I was the polar opposite of a good person as a young kid and teenager, despite my understanding of virtues. That Nick has long since died and gone with the wind, and now I stand with an open mind and heart hoping to make myself the best person I can rather than being satisfied with merely existing. I have gone through such drastic changes to who I am from those early years. I went from stealing, lying, abusing and absolutely hating on authority and criticism to criticizing myself as a way to become better, respecting but not bowing down to authority, healing, spreading nothing but truth as best I can and giving to everyone. I first came here during my transition into a better person, and if you look at my first post, I'm so formal I seem robotic.
So for my theme, and I know this is likely not to be a finality since the future is always uncertain, I have chosen a song that showcases shedding the old and rebuilding upon the underlying framework, a tenacity and fortune within life, before finally beginning the process of regeneration after near mortal damage to oneself. It defines my fire for life and the intensity with which I fight to keep that flame burning ever brighter through its heaviness and harshness. Frankly, it energizes and excites me as much as it serves as a definition.
Regenerate by Fear Factory (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYo88cqhgb8)
Remove all the damage
Material debris
Remove scar tissue
Decayed and diseased
Establish a connection
Matter to the mind
My self replication
Run for your life
Look in my eyes
Look in my eyes
It's not over
I will survive
I will survive
I regenerated now
I've finally found new ground
Breathing new life now
I will regenerate
Replace for enhancement
Destroy permanence
Born again and faithless
Shatter the resilient
I have got the power
To effect a change
Amplify my body
Don't fade away
Look in my eyes
Look in my eyes
It's not over
I will survive
I will survive
I regenerated now
I've finally found new ground
Breathing new life now
I will regenerate
You can't kill me!
I regenerated now
I've finally found new ground
Breathing new life now
I will regenerate
New life today
Long, but hey, if I'm gonna pick a song to be my personal theme song... I'm not gonna **censor** around.
