Meaning in the music

It’s kind of cool how really vague songs can be applied to my situation. A lot of stuff by spoon and the shins or broken bells. Occasionally Jules drops a lyric in the strokes.

Tears will swallow you, you’ll be seen right through.

It tears for fears,

Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson look right through me look right through me.

Most of the time it’s more abstract then that and sometimes it doesn’t relate to sz but to me in general.

I think it’s a good indicator of a brilliant lyricist to be able to put together abstracts like that.

You, when you were growing up, did you think everyone knew something unclear.

They never got you and you never got them.

You can kind of plug in whatever reality you want and imagine sharing it with the writer of the song. A feeling of connection to the world, sets the stage for belonging which is something everyone needs.

Any of you people have this happen when you listen to music.

Sometimes life takes you by the hand pulls you and before you know it is gone and your dead again.

I also have a tendency to hear things when the lyrics aren’t clear, my mind just kind of figure something.

Like rjd2

Time time time time time to understand the horror

When I first heard it was like

Cause time time time time time the time is plural

Or daft punk instant crush.

The lyrics are supposed to say

I’ve got this picture of us kissing in my head

But it really sounds like

I’ve got this picture of a skitz in my head

Hey, what kind of job are you thinking about?

5

Got no idea dude. I don’t think about working much these days. Sometimes I’ll reflect on the jobs I’ve had in the past.

Ideally Itd be something where I was left alone or maybe with a small team of people. Definitely not working with food.

I asked because you seem to have a lot of constructive energy at the moment.

7

Yeah, stress would really bring me down though, I’m just focusing on getting as much control over this as I can and its really starting to work out. Still voices go full volume when I turn on the fan at night. Up till then it was more or less silent.

8

Fans are funny that way. I hear different kinds of music in them + I don’t have voices.

I was going to add - maybe a little too much energy. I don’t know, though.

9

Yeah I’m not manic, just reduced my meds. It really helps me to focus and I feel good about writing on here and communicating.

Thanks for worrying bud. But you shouldn’t trouble yourself I’m doing about as best as I can at this point in time.

I do expect I’ll fall into a bad swing at some point. Thus is life.
