I love that song, Poisoned. It's kind of sad though. There is definitely a difference between being an introvert and enjoying alone time (that's me) and being lonely.

To be honest, I'm more interested somehow in what other people are sharing here, as opposed to answering your question myself. :) I hope to listen to some more songs people have mentioned -- I'm back to work, though, in a second.
But to answer for me --
I'm going to answer with two songs; both songs are part of my inner being, it feels like.
"Ode To Billie Joe" Bobbie Gentry --
my favorite song I've ever heard. I first heard it as a very young child and was hooked on it and listened over and over. Yeah, some might think it a morbid song for a child but I specifically remember as a young child at how much I adored the lyrics (they moved me intensely), the strings arrangement (sounding so good with the guitar), the music and singing -- Bobbie Gentry can do no wrong.
So, as far as a life theme song --besides the ENTIRE Mamas and the Papas' music catalog, no other song has been a part of my life for so long. For me, it still remains the best song I've ever heard.
and
'In Paradisum', the final movement of Gabriel Faure's "Requiem" --
I stopped breathing the first time I heard this song. I remember thinking on that first listening that this might be the most beautiful music I had ever heard. That still may be true for me. It has changed my life, in that a composer created such ethereal and out-of-this-world gentle beauty. And, length-wise, it's such a short piece of music. A life theme song -- it betters my life by just existing.
