“Somewhere I Belong” - Linkin Park
Being a LP fan that I am I realized this song can loosely relate to TCKness:
(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
[Chorus]
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve held so long
(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
And I’ve got nothing to say
I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
’Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
[Repeat Chorus]
I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till I break away from me
I will break away, I’ll find myself today
[Repeat Chorus]
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

We TCKs should step up an advertising campaign and educate the world lol. Random place to talk about it, but it just popped into my head. I mean like, those of us at college can put up posters saying stuff like have you lived in cultures different to your parents etc. Let unknowing TCKs know they’re not alone.

Charm, that’s an excellent idea! I wish someone would have told me I was a TCK a long time ago…
We need some grassroots evangelism to tell younger kids, but also adults (who have no clue they’re TCKs) so that life can finally make sense to them.
You’ve given me some good ideas….
Oh , and that’s probably my favorite LP song too.

Omg, and I thought I was the only one who noticed that this song could possibly relate.
It’s one of the few songs I can listen to over and over again from Linkin Park.
