"In my Darkest Hour" by Megadeth


In my hour of need
Ha you're not there
And though I reached out for you
Wouldn't lend a hand

Through the darkest hour
Grace did not shine on me
It feels so cold, very cold
No one cares for me

Did you ever think I get lonely
Did you ever think that I needed love
Did you ever think to stop thinking
You're the only one that I'm thinking of

You'll never know how hard I tried
To find my space and satisfy you too

Things will be better when I'm dead and gone
Don't try to understand, knowing you I'm probably wrong

But oh how I lived my life for you
Still you'd turn away
Now as I die for you
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you
Raise your head raise your face your eyes
Tell me who you think you are, who ?

I walk, I walk alone
Into the promised land
There's a better place for me
But it's far, far away
Everlasting life for me
In a perfect world
But I gotta die first
Please God send me on my way

Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt by fools
Alone I call to ease the pain
Yearning to be held by you, alone, so alone, I'm lost
Consumed by the pain
The pain, the pain, the pain

Won't you hold me again
You just laughed, ha, ha,
My whole life is work built on the past
But the time has come when all things shall pass
This good thing passed away

In my darkest hour

The Who - Behind Blue Eyes
Muse - Citizen Erased
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge
Pink Floyd - The Wall (numerous songs from)
Dream Theater - Scarred
The Beatles - Let it Be

I know I have some more, but can't think of them right now.

EDIT: Just like there's multiple songs from The Wall, there's multiple songs from Radiohead I definitely identify with. Especially the albums The Bends, OK Computer, and How to Disappear Completely from Kid A, and of course Creep from Pablo Honey.

One lyric I really identify with (not the song, I'm actually very content) is from "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" by The Smiths. It's "why do I smile at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?"

A song I identify with is "Ghost In You" by The Psychedelic Furs; I know that feeling all too well.

I take it you're referring to the lyrical content? I don't understand what it would mean to 'identify' with music.

Here's some lyrics I identify with at the moment, but, with the exception of the last one, probably not for the reasons the writers intended:
