"Jenny" by the Mountain Goats. I love the whole thing, but this is the line that always kills me in the best way:
You pointed your headlamp toward the horizon We were the one thing in the galaxy god didn't have his eyes on
Weirdly, because I know the meta-narrative behind the song and it's not particularly empowering (it's dedicated to/about JT Leroy, and that story is all kinds of fucked-up), Garbage's "Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go)" always makes me feel a little bit invincible.
MC Frontalot's "Charisma Potion," which is sort of silly but begins "Fuck you, look at my cool hat" and sometimes that's just how I feel.
