I posted this memory as a reply in metaquotes, but I don't want you guys to miss it. The story has some deep relevance, and I think it might help you to find some kind of meaning in life. It says important things about art and communication and true love and snowballing your girlfriend. Failing that, it's funny as hell, and I don't want to lose track of

I've never heard that song before (I'm pop-culture ignorant, what can I say?) What are the lyrics to it?

On a totally unrelated note (I am so sorry) I was listening to a music video from yahoo music (It was, uh, the Cure. In the words of choo-choo: "don't you fucking DARE judge me") it finished and then went to a H.I.M. video. I've never actually listened to HIM before, so I kept it around. It was "Wing of a Butterfly" (Or "Walrus Blowjob" or whatever the name of the song is) and when the chorus came I couldn't help but hear a voice that said "YEAH. RIP ITS WINGS OFF." I just... I just couldn't take it seriously. So. I think this means I hate you or I love you.

The whole lyrics

Wow. That's erm, well, damn near pornographic.

And that world that HIM makes is a kinda shitty. I'm not sure if I wanna visit it.

It's crappy, but you're only observing, which means you're free to just listen and laugh your ass off. It's like Schadenfreude for your ears.

Everyone is like "How can you listen to that whiny melodramatic crap?" and I just say "Well, sure, it's depressing. But the other people who listen to this shit have it WAY worse than me."

So I suppose, in a way, I finally understand why people listen to country music.

Huh.

Weird.

Why do I keep talking this?

But I suppose the tourist industry of HIMsville is doing okay, but could you imagine being a tour guide there? "On your left you'll see "You Don't Understand My Pain" Mountain..." I could just imagine that, with the very tangible sound of boredom in their voice.

"Not that you're looking, but here's the River of Ennui. . ."

It'd be hilarious.

My god, the citizens grow up to be the tour guides! It's a very circular life they have.

Although the tour definately would take a turn into sucksville when the guide stops at the place where they had their first kiss and feels the need to talk about it for the next three hours. Hopefully, they will not break out the guitar and start singing about it.

No, there'd just be an impromptu poetry slam.

*winces at the thought*

My love was like a morbid black spider,
twisted, twisted,
with tatterstockinged legs
like an angel's black feathers
scorched from Lucifer's fall.

Night was our mother
and nursed us with a taste like clove cigarettes
and painted our fingernails black
with the graveyard earth of despair,
which sort of made us siblings,
which is a little twisted
(like old fishnet stockings).

We talked about the incest of our souls
all night at the IHOP.

That's terrible. So terrible.

I worship you.

This has been a great thread.

I tell you, I WAS one of these people like 10 years before it was cool. So I KNOW the type. I love them, but, dude, so easy to mock.

And in the honor of this majestic thread, I make this icon.

Which I think sums up everything quite nicely, yes!
