NOFX - The Decline
This song, by a comedian, is a showcase of the hopeless, fucked up, irredeemable, state of humanity.
These 2 particular lines brings a tidal wave of emotions:
20 thousand years of this, seven more to go
The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all (Actually, the whole song, the whole album gets me)
That Funny Feeling ~ Bo Burnham
About a year after it came out, I was singing along with it during a depressive episode and realized 'seven' wasn't accurate anymore. It freaked me out, but I realized that part of the nature of the song is the impending doom, and I have to change the lyrics when I get to that part.
..Four more to go.
Don't forget to factor in the time between him writing, recording, and releasing it.
This the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper.
T.S. Eliot - The Hollow Men
One of my favorite songs of all time. I revisit it once a year or so but have to be careful because as much as I love it, it can put me in a dark place. I've urged a lot of friends to give it a listen while paying attention to the lyrics but that seems to be quite a commitment for most people 😂
Just in case, this year is your last chance to see them live. Thought you might want to know that 😊
Yea I just saw that in my feed. I've never seen them live (though I hear they suck live 😜) so I should def try.
I missed them my whole life, until this year. Crossed half the country. It was amazing.
Like as in you traveled across the country to see them? If so, that sounds fun. I've driven across 3-4 times (assuming you mean the US) and it's been a lot of fun each time.
It would be really great to see them for me this time since they are playing with the Descendants (the two were my introduction into punk music)!
Yes! Although in a smaller country than the USA, with high speed trains 😇
Oh cool!
Only moron and genius would fight a losing battle against the super ego.
