(no subject)
i do my best thinking when i'm driving, alone. i guess i just kinda zone out and every thought possible comes through my brain. the problem is, usually by the time i get home i forget what it was i was thinking about.
just now on my ride home from eric's, i was thinking about how there's so many songs about breakups, from the point of view of the person who got dumped, got left behind by the other. but you never hear any songs from the point of view of someone who had to dump their lover, but feels horrible about it. those would be the kinds of songs i could identify with in recent times, and there aren't any. well, not many, not any i can think of. you hear all the time about people being broken hearted, feeling like their lover fucked them over, being angry, upset over it. but its not like every person who dumps their lover feels good about it. i'd like to think i'm not the only one who ever agonized over the decision to dump someone for months, before finally feeling like it was the only choice to make. maybe people don't write about it because, in making the decision, you make your peace, and are able to move on. if you're dumped, its not under your control, so its harder to move on, so they need to write songs about it to heal.
sometimes the songs from the point of view of the dumpee piss me off, and i can't listen to them, because it reminds me of what bill was feeling. and i get mad because i didn't feel he was justified in thinking the way he did, so maybe the person singing the song deserved to be dumped too. either way, i don't feel bad for them. and i don't listen to emo or other sappy stuff. i dunno, people whining and crying about anything just makes me angry anymore. if the song is gonna be about a depressing topic, it should at least be really heavy to make up for it or something.
