My hand went blind
You were in the vein clairvoyant
You were in the vein clairvoyant
My hand went blind
I make love to my transistor, my transistor
And my transparency from the balcony
I looked out on the big field, on the big field
It opens like the cover of an old bible
And out come the wolves, out come the wolves
Their paws trampling in the snow the alphabet
I stand on my head and watch it all go away

Macophilia

Born Weird by Nerf Herder

I think she herself may be autistic, although I don't think that's the "diagnosis" she's referring to. But I haven't really dug into whether she considers herself neurodivergent or not. It's just the way she tends to subvert the norm and the way she writes her lyrics makes me wonder.
I listened to a lot of everyone else's songs and really like this topic. I'll try to think of more.

Lil Ugly Mane speaks the depths of depression and dissolving in the wasteland probably better than anyone else I've heard. I won't post the lyrics because there's some elements of surprise and it's something better experienced than read.

I must have f****d with some witch
In turn she cursed me, cursed my life.

At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
If you need to find me, just go to
The end of the longest line.

One day you see a strange little girl look at you
One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
She'd run to the town one day
Leaving home and the country fair
Just beware
When you're there
Strange little girl
She didn't know how to live in a town that was rough
It didn't take long before she knew she'd had enough
Walking home in her wrapped up world
She survived but she's feeling old
And she found all things cold
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Do you know where you could be going?
Walking home in her wrapped up world
She survived but she's feeling old
'Cause she found all things cold
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Do you know where you could be going?

^ Reminds me of the poster Strangelittlegirl with the Tank Girl avatar , where did she go? I liked her:(

Oh cool! I don't remember her.
Just feeding the farm and then I'll look.

I listen to this song when I feel a strong sense of masculine energy in my body.

"I know, all the dark places where my mind goes".
-Listening to this line makes me feel just the sheer gravity and what dark possibilities are hidden back in the deep recesses of my mind. Makes me have this expansive feeling of just capturing all those possibilities.

'Cause on those nights we would stand and never fall
Together we faced it all
Remember when we'd

Stay up late and we'd talk all night
In a dark room lit by the tv light
Through all the hard times in my life
Those nights kept me alive
We'd listen to the radio play all night
Didn't want to go home to another fight
Through all the hard times in my life
Those nights kept me alive


Song reminds me of late teens being in a dysfunctional family and finding solace in my online friends

Pink Floyd the Wall whole album.

Though I have been deconstructing some of those walls for years, but things like that take time.

Headache - Frank Black


My heart is crammed in my cranium and it still knows how to pound
Got me so down, I got me a headache
My heart is crammed in my cranium and it still knows how to pound
This wrinkle in time, I can't give it no credit

This is not a story
This is not a book this is your life And this is not a play
Some TV show you've seen
This is reallife

There is no rehearsal
No second chance
No false start no
Better circumstances

(just. realized i posted milk it in the wrong thread lol)


Please could you stop the noise?
I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken
Voices in my head
What's that?
(I may be paranoid, but not an android)
What's that?
(I may be paranoid, but not an android)
When I am king
You will be first against the wall
With your opinion
Which is of no consequence at all
What's that?
(I may be paranoid, but no android)
What's that?
(I may be paranoid, but no android)
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing Gucci little piggy
You don't remember, you don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height
Height
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height
Height
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
That's it, sir
You're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children
God loves his children, yeah
