What I say: Country music blows
What I mean: Modern country music, especially songs sung by modern male country artists, revolves around similar themes of toxic masculinity and nationalism. The recurrent lyrics referencing guns, trucks, beer and girls in short shorts are uncreative and not entertaining in the least. However, older country artists and folk rock bands such as Creedence Clearwater Revival and Johnny Cash have stronger, more diverse themes and often carry an overt anti-war message. I hate the fact that what was once an interesting and powerful genre of music has now been claimed by gun-toting conservative bearded dudes, and it hurts my heart to say I hate country music when there are so many country artists that I very much enjoy, but cannot state the fact that I enjoy country music without being associated with the aforementioned group.
love being trusted with “you cant tell anyone this” conversations and nodding a lot and forgetting everything they told me like god intended and going down as a trustworthy individual while doing literally zero work of ill or good
anxiety brain: IM GOING TO DIE ALONE AND UNCARED FOR
the other side of my brain which is wearing a hawaiian shirt: [cracks another sparkling water] yeah probably
y'all ever get hit with the realization when you’re in the middle of doing something like, whoa, what the fucking shit this is real life. like this is happening right now. not even when its something crazy i mean when you’re like doing the laundry or some shit
help there is too much enrichment in my enclosure
girl help there is not enough enrichment in my enclosure
I love how with most bands their instagram is all very official but then you turn to AJJ and it’s like “here’s a lizard I met and also Sean did a sick kick flip yesterday”
Okay what the HELL do you mean by pop punk cover of funeral??
BEHOLD
they’re horse girls confirmed
But I think there’s a god and he hears either way …. i rejoice
Maybe it’s all gonna turn out alright and I know that its not but I have to believe that it is
maybe the emptiness is just a lesson in canvasses
and besides I’m starting to get used to the gap
pinned to the mattress like an insect to styrofoam/ all my prayers are just apologies
Grit my teeth and try to act deserving / When I know there’s nowhere I can hide from your humiliating grace …. and I would go to church on sunday
rom the sting, paper sheets, bloodwork and the IV / And the whirring machines while the nurses reassure me
(I know I shouldn’t act this way in public)
But I’ve kissed enough bathroom sinks to make up for the lovers that never loved me/ And I know my body is just dirty clothes
And I just let the parking lot swallow me up / Choking your tires, and kicking up dust / Asking aloud why you’re leaving / But the pavement won’t answer me
Person A: I need a nap
Person B: You always need a nap
