He Would Have Laughed - Deerhunter
I forgot my book
At the fountain stairs
At a chapter on symmetry
Nobody cares
And I had a smoke
While I traced the squares
Put my finger to concrete
Felt the autumn air
When I look around
I can feel it spinning
Feet on the ground
Head on the ceiling
Sun on my shirt
Sweat on my hands
All falling in retrograde
Cancel all my plans
And I had to look
At the marching band
Skip across the pavement
Nobody’s there
When I look around
I can feel it spinning
Feet on the ground
Head on the ceiling
I lose 5 followers.
Guess they figured out that I’m not so hawt.
“Your views on mainstream music”:
This would be on here and I think it’s the lamest one so far, but I’ll answer it. It makes me sad about this generation and the ones coming forward. The music has no dimension to it and it’s all becoming over produced. Instruments aren’t used anymore because technology has taken over. Then the lyrics make me even sadder. Pop culture put this idea into everyone’s heads about society and how it is and how it’s going to be and ever since then it’s just been spoon feeding the masses the same old bullshit to the point where its now normal and accepted. Young kids think it’s okay to act like the godforsaken Kesha and speak like Lil’ Wayne. It’s not and it’s so sad that this new generation of people is going to be raising the next to succumb to the new societal precedent. The cycle will continue because these children will then be running the world with the message pop culture gave them in the first place. It’s scary. Let’s hope I die before it gets that bad. (For the record, brushing your teeth with a “bottle of Jack” is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. Not only will society be corrupt but there will be more occurrences of GINGIVITIS.)
