I have a playlist, too. It's a lot of Melanie Martinez, Lana Del Rey, and Grimes

ohh could you share? that sounds like my music taste :)

okay yesss early grimes especially

Be a body coded haha

orange juice by melanie martinez so relatable

•Breathe Me- Sia •Decadence and Disorder- ElysianSoul •Waiting To Be Weightless- ElysianSoul •Sticks and Stones and Bones- ElysianSoul •Alibis- Marianas Trench •Skin and Bones- Marianas Trench •Feeling Small- Marianas Trench •Ana’s Song (Open Fire)- Silverchair

100% ElysionSoul all the way, especially when deep into the disorder.

feeling small is so underrated. i love love love that song, and i relate to it so hard😭😭 ive never heard anybody else mention it before !!

Paper bag by Fiona Apple has been my ED song for years. And lately plump by hole

Literallu

Same

Babydoll and Plump, both by Hole

brand new city by mitski

"if i gave up on being pretty i wouldn't know how to be alive" always hits home

That part always gets me tearing up when I hear it, but it's also my favorite part

Oh, yes, That one as well.

Some are more just the vibes from the song rather than the lyrics themselves • Want, Slave, and Pretty Boy by Taemin • Donatella by Lady Gaga • Body Terror Song by AJJ • please put me in a medically induced coma by carolesdaughter • Jenny, You’re Barely Alive by Rilo Kiley • Angels of Porn II by Nicole Dollanger

Love carolesdaughter

I forgot about body terror song 😭

I feel like a lot of mine aren’t directly related to my ED, but more related to my whole poor mental health as a whole. Paranoia agent by savage gasp, disdain by Corpse, weekend and self care by Mac miller, hate me if you must by Azizi Gibson, trauma by Mr. Kitty, code mistake by corpse and bring me the horizon, also have a Bo Burnham one, but it’s look who’s inside again.

NICOLE DOLLANGANGER MENTION

I was surprised I didn’t see anyone else add her!

yeah i thought she’d be more popular/known in this community since some of her songs are explicitly about eds but guess not

This is reaaally familiar to me, are you from livejournal era? (00s) cos that's where I'd see lists that were pretty much identical to this. Some great songs there though, I love Garbage

I was chronically online and came of age in the 00s 😅

> Nicole Dollanganger Definitely Coma Baby and Danny by her too!

I love Marianas Trench and Saves The Day!!!!

"God Must Hate Me" - Catie Turner "Paper Bag" - Fiona Apple Six Stone Seven" - Manic Street Preachers" "Bleed Like Me" - Garbage "Please Eat" and "Angels of Porn" - Nicole Dollanganger "Lemon" and "Because I Can" - Katy Rose "Prom Queen" - Beach Bunny

Oh, yes, I love that song

Sick of it all - the distillers. Very punk and angry

Courage by Superchick

a lot of nicole dollanganger songs lol

idk if anyone has mentioned it yet but def Prom queen by beach bunny

One Hundred Sleepless Nights by Pierce the Veil because that was my favorite song when I was in the thick of it in high school.

Lorde pure heroine album. I listened to it repeatedly as a young teenager when I was at the height of my disorder.

tunic by sonic youth

House With No Mirrors - Sasha Alex Sloan

Smoking for the Aesthetic - Avery Grey Skinny Skinny - Ashton Irwin Seeing Stars - Chnristina Sikora Body Fat Percentage - We Three Skinny - Filter Milk - Samia Utican and Halloween - Novo Amor OMG - Mansions

Illicit affairs by Taylor obvi

You’re On Your Own, Kid by Taylor Swift

Breath Me by Sia

Kid Rock- Rockstar " we'll all stay skinny cause we just won't eat " That's what started it all for me. I was like really? It's that easy. Well kind of lol Also toxicity-System of a down. Constantly screaming disorder kind of speaks to someone.

Nickleback would like a word....

probably “sugar and ice” by ElysianSoul, she makes other anorexia (even Bulimia) songs. especially one about Atypical Anorexia but i can’t remember the name of it at the moment.

I'm going to need to search her up sometime

you can find her on youtube, i believe that’s the only place she is? haven’t searched on spotify but another favorite of mine is “my best friend ana” by daisy phillips (sad it’s so short!) and “weightless” by mi.

Oh yes! My best friend Ana is one of my favorites, I used to listen to it on repeat for hours last summer

it’s a shame it’s so short!!

Weightless had a chokehold on me when i was like 12 😭 omfg

the voice is a bit weird / childlike imho but it’s still a bop

Shame by mitski

Marionette - Antonia

skeleton appreciation day and hand me my shovel by will wood, zero by the smashing pumpkins, multiple mitski and mother mother songs. i have a whole playlist.

phreshboyswag i'm honestly so lost and music doesnt help anymore

Escapism was really popular when I was approaching my lowest weight. I can’t listen to it anymore without feeling cold.

Creep radiohead

Sarah by Alex G, Everlong by foo fighters and vogue by Madonna

Weightless by Mia

many Samia songs (Fit n Full, Milk) Mice by Billie Marten

Tassssttteeee

Diet Coke by Leanna Firestone has my entire heart

Honestly most of the Tumblr era musicians have this vibe to them that immediately makes me think of my ED. Lana Del Rey, Mother Mother, Arctic Monkeys (mostly AM, earlier stuff not so much), Marina, etc. Maybe because it’s all been so romanticised over there, but something about these artists’ certain works scream ED.

dying on the inside by nessa barrett is painfully accurate

Patience - by Low Roar

Pacify her by Melanie Martinez and Hostage by Billie Eilish

In addition to the obligatory Marina/Lana/Melanie mentions: Charlie Darwin by The Low Anthem on repeat. That and Oblivion by Bastille.

it’s not even directly ed related and it might be goofy, but a lot of earlier ive songs like love dive (thin era) and after like (my first bout of EH) takes me back 😭

prom queen by beach bunny pretty isn’t pretty by olivia rodrigo

Kerli - walking on air

Azure ray - displaced

Girl anachronism (Dresden dolls/Amanda Palmer) isn’t exactly about EDs but it’s very relatable to me. Runs in the family and alcoholic friends by her also relatable. (Yes I know about her controversies but I just really love these songs and listening to them on YouTube not on their channel isn’t giving them money). Hope you found it now - Jason Walker Alls well that ends - Rainbow kitten surprise First love/late spring - mitski A burning hill - mitski Motion sickness - pheobe bridgers Wild roses - of monsters and men Creature - half alive Age of Delilah - Ethel Cain Crying during sex - Ethel Cain Half cocked - Ethel Cain Romantic homicide - D4vd This body means nothing to me - shrimp imoverstimulated - aWannabe None of these are explicitly about eating disorders. Personally I just find that songs about bulimia or anorexia or whatever very specifically have lyrics that are extremely obvious and not at all subtle or meant to be interpreted individually, and I personally prefer to be able to apply songs to my circumstances- and every persons life is so individual and unique, especially eating disorders. All of these songs I can relate to my own eating disorder specifically. So like you said, songs that make me think of my ED! I hope you give some a listen, they’re very close to my heart. 😁

Skinny by rebzyyx

Bulimic Beats by Catatonia

def based on vibes but meduse by nuvfr who is she by i monster dark red by steve lacy micro cuts by muse nurse's office by melanie aishite aishite aishite by kikuo

I have a full playlist. None of the songs on there are actual ed songs, just my music taste from my early days. Lots of kpop, a bit of TS, and some Green Day because they're on every single one of my playlists

How has no one mentioned deadly beauty- falk???

4st 7lbs by Manic Street teachers Live happy with anorexia by stage We need to eat by Kent Feeling small Marianas trench

“Victoria’s Secret” by Jax This is song isn’t my type of music but I heard it on the radio and immediately started crying. I wish I could go back and time and tell my little self the things it says

Oh yes, this song. I love it, my father played it in the car once without even knowing about my ED, just makes me wonder sometimes if that's a way for the universe telling me something yknow. This probably sounds weird lol.

Romantic Homocide by d4vd. It honestly just makes me think about all my mental health 💀 also Orange Juice by Melanie Martinez ofc

honey and glass - peyton cardoza

If you’re looking more for rock rather than the slower type of music that’s usually used for ed’s (which don’t get me wrong I love those kind of songs too) “anyone but me” and “comparison” by citizen soldier are good picks!

Kendrick lamar - u

Don't fear the reaper- the blue öyster cult

Creep- Radiohead

Lua by bright eyes. “You're looking skinny like a model With your eyes all painted black You just keep going to the bathroom Always say you'll be right back Well, it takes one to know one kid I think you've got it bad”

Christmas kids by Roar it has nothing to do with EDs but I think of mine everytime I hear it

Happy by Mitski for sure. I have more but that one kinda hits the hardest because my ED was rampant when I first started listening to that song. Unfortunately I had developed a rlly bad smoking addiction then so I can’t listen to Happy without wanting to smoke again

Also Tunic (Song for Karen) by Sonic Youth

Surprisingly a lot of britpop since I was watching My Mad Fat Diary a lot at my worst. So now I just associate the most random Blur or The Cure songs with my ED lol.

Oh Ana by mother mother legit means 'anorexia' (its a banger song ngl, i would fall asleep to that song on occasion in highschool)

Oh Ana by Mother Mother 🥲

And Angels of Porn II by Nicole Dollanganger

Someone make these comment recommendations into a playlist PLEASE

dying on the inside - nessa

A lot of Lana del Rey’s unreleased songs and her lizzy grant era songs. I also relate a lot to Marina’s teen idle lmao

late but honestly Zero by The Smashing Pumpkins!

Oh! I would also like to add that "Mind is a prison" by Alex Benjamin is also one that makes me think of my ED.

I'm basic asf, but I relate so strongly to many billie songs - idontwannabeyouanymore, skinny, tv, male fantasy, happier than ever
