Look at the people you know,
people you really or barely know
and tell me honestly what you think.
How many of them
are really trying to be something sincerely new
and how many of them
are just busy trying to forget themselves?
How many know what to say and how to say it
when you call them
and how many are just caught dumbfounded...

I'm gone, I'm lost and found
some orphan luggage lying 'round
I'm the solipsistic astronaut
on the forgotten spaceship, offshore juggernaut,
I'm the dream you want to have
I'm the glass, the pill and you the slave
I'm as simple as I want to be
my sex complex, my heart is free.
Far too long I waited in the cold,
now I see I have...

How do you expel all the poison?
How do you recover the clean eyes of childhood?
How do you start loving again, giving without expecting anything,
with joy and no fear of being misunderstood and used?
How do you grow up,
by going back to childhood
without forgetting the experience of adulthood?
Tell me how you do it.
Tell me how you save yourself
before...

They laugh hysterically.
They eat, drink and smoke more than they can handle, to forget their lack of meaning.
They hurt themselves and push new substances in their blood.
They fake a character, sure that they need to.
They pretend to be happy, just for fear of being excluded from their circle of friends
because this is what they would do.
They can't listen to...

I used to love, in you,
the promises of a thousand women to come,
I used to worship and respect, in you,
my very own simple dreams of generous breasts and legs, kindly open.
I used to paint all the unfinished corners of you
and then thank you and love you
as if you painted them yourself.
And when we met, in the darkness of...

Since the very beginning,
since the very moment
I opened my eyes for the first time,
a steady, constant dive
into the clearest consciousness,
forever pushed forward,
forever trying to hold back,
due to surrounding loving care and sweet advice,
only to periodically,
and every time more deeply,
fall back into that same consciousness
that I am not what you are,
and that I have...

Assignment.
Post a song that describes your mood.
Everything has been lived, felt and written about before anyway.

"Wicked Game" - Chris Isaak

The world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I...

Johnny Cash - I Still Miss Someone

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

At my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind has come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still miss someone

I go out on a party
And look for a little fun
But I find a darkened corner
because I still miss someone

Oh, no I never got over those blues eyes
I see them every where
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there

I wonder if she's sorry
For leavin' what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone

The Libertines- Narcissist

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Professionally trendy in the glow of Clapham sun
There's life after work and it can be such fun
You see all the models in magazines and on the walls
You wanna be just like them
Cause they're so cool

They're just narcissists
Well wouldn't it be nice to be Dorian Gray?
Just for a day
They're just narcissists
Oh, what's so great to be Dorian Gray
Every day?

We're living in a looking glass
As the beauty of life goes by
You're going to be so oh
You're going to grow so old
Your skin so cold

Well they're just narcissists
Well wouldn't it be nice to be Dorian Gray
Just for a day?
Such narcissists
what's so great to be Dorian Gray
Every day?

They're just narcissists
Wouldn't it be great to be Dorian Gray?
Just for a day
Just for a day

A classic.
The Big Kahuna monologue, originally inspired by this article:
________________________________________________

Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young.

Published June 1, 1997

Inside every adult lurks a graduation speaker dying to get out, some world-weary pundit eager to pontificate on life to young people who'd rather be Rollerblading. Most of us, alas, will never be invited to sow our words of wisdom...

"Asking too much" - Ani DiFranco

I want somebody who sees the pointlessness
and still keeps their purpose in mind
I want somebody who has a tortured soul
some of the time
I want somebody who will either put out for me
or put me out of misery
or maybe just put it all to words
and make me say, you know
I never heard...

I have a friend who is never single. I know she fears being alone. I personally think the idiocy is what has been keeping me single, the loneliness is more tolerable.

Where is the bottom?

I should see it by now.

Instead, I don't. I seem to go deeper and deeper.
Deeper in the dark waters of what I know needs to happen
but I certainly do not enjoy.

I guess that the child I used to be
is still very much alive in me
and he does not like
and never will,
the things that...

I don't think you are asking too much when you're asking for some beauty of some kind. I sincerely hope you find it before the darkness swallows you whole.
