10 Songs For When You Are Fighting Secret Battles

Everyone fights their own Secret Battles. Not all struggles can be told out loud. Haven’t we all, at one point in our lives, gone through a hard time and didn’t share it with anyone?

Maybe it was because it was too embarrassing. Or we felt nobody would understand the struggle, or maybe felt strong enough to face it on our own. Keep in mind, if you haven’t gone through a struggle just yet, wait for it, it is surely coming.

This blog post is dedicated to anyone who is currently fighting a battle they can’t share with anyone. Hang in there because it gets better, do not kill yourself over it.

If you get to your breaking point, find someone you trust and let it out. I mean, what is the worst that could happen? In the mean time, here are ten songs that could buy you time during this period and my best lines from them. I wish you heal and I wish you come out of this victorious.

MILEY CYRUS – THE CLIMB (Secret Battles Playlist)

The struggles I’m facing
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on

KELSIE BALLERINI – STILETTOS

I wear my pain like stilettos
As bad as it may hurt, no, you’ll never know
I keep walking with my head up, putting on a show
And fronting like nothing is wrong
I talk the talk like I’m a tough girl
‘Cause there ain’t room for weakness in a rough world
That keeps saying you were never enough, girl,
Yeah, when you get burned, you learn to be strong
I wear my pain like stiletto

MAXMILLIAN – BEAUTIFUL SCARS

Broken all the pieces I’ve been shaping lately
Focused on the things that didn’t make no sense
Guess that growing up was never meant to be easy
Yeah, I got used to doing everything sideways
Didn’t really care about how everyone felt
Hiding my emotions down in different ashtrays

TOM MACDONALDS – CASTLES (Secret Battles Playlist)

We’ve all got problems and we all feel alone
We’ve all been haunted by the secrets we hold
We could fill our coffins with the rocks they have thrown
Or we could build our castles with the sticks and the stones

LIFEHOUSE – CRASH AND BURN

I’ve been broken I’ve been low
I’ve been hurt but I’ll move on
I have to try and find a way
To leave it all behind

And if I fall and crash and burn
At least we both know that I tried
As I crawl that lessons learned
It reminds me I’ll survive

ED – SHEERAN – EVEN MY DAD DOES SOMETIMES

It’s alright to cry
Even my dad does sometimes
So don’t wipe your eyes
Tears remind you you’re alive
It’s alright to die
‘Cause death’s the only thing you haven’t tried
Just for tonight, hold on

DANNY GOKEY – TELL YOUR HEART TO BEAT AGAIN

DANNY GOKEY – TELL YOUR HEART TO BEAT AGAIN

Tell your heart to beat again
Close your eyes and breathe it in
Let the shadows fall away
Step into the light of grace
Yesterday’s a closing door
You don’t live there anymore
Say goodbye to where you’ve been
And tell your heart to beat again

WHITNEY HUSTON – I LOOK TO YOU

As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I’m lost without a cause
After giving it my all

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I’ve been through
Who on earth can I turn to

DAUGHTRY – LEARN MY LESSON

Sometimes I think I’m better off
To turn out the lights and close up shop
And give up the longing, believing in belonging
Just hold down my head and take the loss

PARAMORE – HARD TIMES

PARAMORE – HARD TIMES

All that I want
Is to wake up fine
Tell me that I’m alright
That I ain’t gonna die
All that I want
Is a hole in the ground
You can tell me when it’s alright
For me to come out
