Eating Disorder Songs PT.1
Updated Version!
(I’m aware some of these aren’t about Ed’s, but everyone is supposed to take their own interpretation from lyrics, that’s what makes songs so special)
•My Silent Undoing - Queen Adreena
“my wasp in a jar
protruding hips
and skull, and spine
ribcage cuts a clear outline”
•Please Eat - Nicole Dollanganger
“'Cause I know you can only starve so much
‘Til you like how it feels”
•Angels Of Porn - Nicole Dollanganger
“My bedroom smells like rotten food
And I guess so do I
It’s harder to be good in here
Than it is to starve and die”
•Blood Brothers - Nicole Dollanganger
“He watched all of my hair fall out
He lifted me and kissed my scalp
He said, “I know you’re trying to kill yourself"”
•Dread - nothing,nowhere.
“I look into the mirror,
all I’m seeing is a skeleton,
I keep losing weight
so they got me taking medicine”
•Relax, Relapse - Get Scared
“No remorse and no recovery
I’m alive by the skin of my teeth
Another cycle of revery”
•Cynical Skin - Get Scared
“Look right in front of me
We got Exhibit “C”
Anorexic, obsessed with magazines”
•a protest in lines too thin to read - Evaline
“You’re staggering in, you find a finger gagging yourself
You heave and say “I’m not like those pigs. I don’t care what’s good for my health"”
•Ignorance Is Bliss - Beartooth
“Medicated but still not thinking freely
I haven’t eaten in a week and it’s killing me”
•Starving for Attention - The Narrative
“Lonely now with this disease
Your desperation aims to please
While starving for attention on your knees”
•Teen Idle - Marina and the Diamonds
“I want blood, guts and angel cake
I’m gonna puke it anyway”
•Girls - Marina and the Diamonds
(This song kinda feels like a fuck you to girls with ED’s so maybe not the best song to listen to if you’re struggling)
“Cause I fall asleep when they speak
Of all the calories they eat”
•Obsessions - Marina and the Diamonds
(This song is more about OCD but because of how obsessive you can get with ED’s it works)
“Next minute, I am turning out of the door
Facing one week without food”
•Hospital For Souls - BMTH
“How are we on a scale of one to ten?
Could you tell me what you see?
Do you wanna talk about it?
How does that make you feel?
Have you ever took a blade to your wrists?
Have you been skipping meals?
We’re gonna try something new today
How does that make you feel?”
•Sippy Cup - Melanie Martinez
“You got weights in your pockets when you go to the doctors
Your favorite candy’s cotton, that’s why all your teeth are rotten”
•Skin and Bones - Marianas Trench
“I lock the door
Turn all the water on
And bury that sound
So no one hears anything anymore”
•Creep - Radiohead
“I don’t care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul”
•Untitled - Lil Bo Weep
“And my body´s starving; I can’t stop myself”
•Empty - Jaiden, Boyinaband
“Every calorie a failure
Gotta push the intake down every day”

Thank you for all the notes! I know how important music is for me so I’m glad I can share this with people. And thank you for leaving other songs in the comments!! 💖
Ok, these songs don’t talk about eating, but they hold a place in my heart, and really represent me and my ED. They also remind me of when I was thinner, and when my ED was in its “best” moments, I’m sure a lot of you understand that.
•Breathe Me - Sia
“Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, enfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me”
•Think I’m Sick - Icon For Hire
“I’m sick, I think I’m sick
Sometimes I think I get like this
I bite my tongue, I clench my fists
Resist at first and then reverse”
•Get Well - Icon For Hire
“I meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well
Are the rest of you so content?
Stay where you are but it hurts like help
And I’m sure it was fun at first
Test your pulse and check your vitals”
•Control - Halsey
“I’m bigger than my body
I’m colder than this home
I’m meaner than my demons
I’m bigger than these bones”
•Soap - Melanie Martinez
“I feel it coming out my throat
Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap”
•Avalanche - Bring Me The Horizon
“It’s like an avalanche
I feel myself go under
Cause the weight of it’s like hands around my neck
I never stood a chance
My heart is frozen over
And I feel like I am treading on thin ice”
Guess I should add this
I personally don’t like this song but y’all might
•Ugly - Nicole Dollanganger
“You said that they say you’re disgusting
That they told you you were fat and unworthy
Well, my love, I hope you trust me
When I say you have a perfect body”

“Never trust your tongue when your heart is bitter.”— Unknown
“Do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?”— Rumi
“I believe that introversion is my greatest strength. I have such a strong inner life that I’m never bored and only occasionally lonely. No matter what mayhem is happening around me, I know I can always turn inward.”— Susan Cain
