What's you go to album or song for bitter pill swallowing or the subsequent enlightenment it brings?

The White Stripes are my favorite band, I wish they had more RP songs like that. I've always considered There's No Home For You Here to be an honorary B-side to Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground.

They do have a few, though. I'm Finding it Harder to Be a Gentleman is a pretty RP song, about the uselessness of pedastalizing a girl and questioning just how right it is to treat a lady like a lady just because she's a lady. Little Acorns is a good "get your shit together" type song. Stop Breaking Down which they didn't write for the record fits in nicely too, particularly the line about how women can destroy men (You Saturday night women / You love to ape and clown / You won't do nothing / but tear a good man's reputation down).

"Beautiful Pain" by Eminem.

It literally is a vocalized version of my progression of swallowing the pill.

"You're so familiarized with what having to swallow this pill is like It happens all the time, they take your heart and steal your life And it's as though you feel you've died, cause you've been killed inside But yet you're still alive, which means you will survive Although today you may weep cause you're weakened And everything seems so bleak and hopeless, the light that you're seekin' It begins to seep in, that's the only thing keeping You from leaping off the mothafreakin' deep end"

And the best part, when you swallow the pill, this is your realization (or at least it's mine):

"And the flames are burning quick as fire would through this building You're sealed in, but you're fireproof flame retardant, you withstood it And as you climb up to the roof you're just chilling, you look down Cause you're so over 'em, you could put the heel of your foot through the ceiling"

It literally about RP tranformation and the emotion that comes with it.

"Is she gon pop" -J.Cole; a chill song that talks of guys pursuing girls instead of success whereas he (J.cole) aims for money first and the girls will follow eventually.
