[x]Pain as pleasure.
The new Nine Inch Nails album With Teeth has pretty much asserted itself as the soundtrack of my life right now...
So go get it.
The standout tracks are 1, 2, 4, 6 and 13 (My favorite) so far. Here are the most relevant.
1 - All the love in the world - Envy.
No one's heard a single word I've said
They don't sound as good outside my head
It looks as if the past is here to stay
I've become a million miles a--
Why do you get all the love in the world?
2 - "You know what you are" - Beth.
DON'T YOU FUCKING KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!
DON'T YOU FUCKING KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!
6 - "Everyday is exactly the same" - Job.
I believe I can see the future,
because I repeat the same routine.
13 - "Right where it belongs" - Soul.
See the animal in his cage that you built,
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye,
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built,
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart,
And it's all...right where it belongs
What if everything around you,
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks,
Would you find yourself...find yourself afraid to see?
What if all the world's inside of your head?
Just creations of your own
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you really oughta know
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the ones,
Are you hiding in the trees?
What if everything around you,
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks,
Would you find yourself...find yourself afraid to see?
I haven't been this affected by an album since Staind's "Dysfunction" which probably saved my life... Once again I find myself in a place where I am dealing with alot of things internally... I just need to write and get it all out.
The anger of frustration.
With Teeth is just so dark... As odd as it sounds the darker and more hopeless something is, the better it makes me feel.
