YOU SAID THAT ROCK AND ROLL IS DEAD BUT IS THAT JUST BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN RESURRECTED IN YOUR IMAGE??? LIKE IF JESUS CAME BACK! BUT IN A BEAUTIFUL DRESS AND ALL THE EVANGELICALS WERE LIKE, “OH YES!!!”
no you don’t understand, i could write an entire essay about that Florence + the Machine’s line “And I want you so badly but you could be anyone” and it still wouldn’t represent enough how much it is meaningful and beautiful
when florence welch said i used to see the future but now i see nothing they cut out my eyes and sent me home packing to pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration crying like cassandra i i used to tell the future but they cut out my tongue and left me doing laundry to think in what i’ve done it wasn’t me it was the song i used to move into the future and bring it all back let it bleed through my fingers a treasure in my hands now i creep out when there’s no one about cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep me out the garden’s overgrown and i run in the middle of the road (ooh) well can you see me i cannot see you everything i thought i knew has fallen out of view in this blindness i’m condemned to well can you hear me i cannot hear you every song i thought i knew i’ve been deafened to and there’s no one left to sing to all the gods have been domesticated and heaven is now overrated and the churches they all closed their doors but you can take your complaint straight to the lord i try to still look with wonder on the world as the roses bloom and the riot van still plainly in view well can you see me i cannot see you everything i thought i knew has fallen out of view in this blindness i’m condemned to well can you hear me i cannot hear you every song i thought i knew i’ve been deafened to and there’s no one left to sing to ooh ooh ooh ooh oh take me back oh drunken gods of slaughter you know i’ve always been your favorite daughter well can you see me i cannot see you everything i thought i knew has fallen out of view and if i run fast enough could i break apart as empires crumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart
