Absence of Song Lyrics

What is it about music that makes it so universally attractive? The rhythm? The melody? I believe that it is the fact that there is a song written about EVERYTHING. However, in my recent life, I actually have found no song lyrics that embody what I am feeling.

I have been through country music, but I am not in prison, nor is anyone in my immediate family. I am healthy, don't drink, and do not own a dog.

I have been through pop music, and I am not thin, attractive, or young anymore so that doesn't apply to me.

I have been through hip hop, and while my posterior is significant in size, I find that most hip-hop lyrics don't apply to me.

I have been through grunge, metal, indie, techno, big band, etc, and found nothing.

*sigh* I guess my angst hasn't been written yet. I will be patient.. for a while.

I always find the hymns appealing and applicable. No matter my mood, there's one that will match.

You also didn't mention show tunes/musicals. Have you heard Les Mis? LOVE IT! Highly recommended.
