Elucidating Questions

Haha I guess we’re playing phone tag

Calling for help so call me

Call me I’ll call back

Will this really be a trigger for the rest of my life?

Everyone has a joke about it

Even though it’s never happened

Even though it won’t ever happen

Everyone has to use it

It’s everywhere

Why?

Someday I’m going to die and I’ll have thrown a wish in the well

Who I looked to as it fell is of no consequence

And the only thing in my way

Is nothing

I had a dream about Nothing last night

His voice was low and growlish like a beast from a Disney movie

His tone was cold as he mocked me and I told him

You’re Nothing!

And the laugh like gravel being rubbed together as you step upon it

He’s still in my way

So now that I have begun dreaming my own personal personification of Nothing

And thrown a wish in the well

And begged borrowed and stole (this line from If I Didn’t Have You, which stole it from a song by the same name as the line which is incredibly antithetical to both songs seeing as it’s about not wanting to get back together but I digress)

I have foresight but it’s not something a doe eyed princess sings about while fluttering her long lasses

It’s not cute

It’s fucking awful

Nothing is in my way

Nothing is standing in front of me threatening to swallow me until the day I die until he can swallow me for good

It’s not death that I fear it is him

This great nothing

That spreads across my eyes

Everything is dull

Every time the phone rings

I’m so foolish because I’m still waiting for a call

Even though he never sent no letters (this is a double negative so it implies he actually sent tonnes of letters unendingly and I am desperately trying to convince him to stop, but it’s a quote from You Found Me by The Fray)

If a lay here

If I just lay here

All the laundry I have to do today because lay is something you do with something else

In that tense anyways

No, constantly,

It’s annoying that people who can’t finish a sentence get to be rich and famous so that millions of other people who can’t finish a sentence can sing along and no one along the way said

Hey, did you realise this error makes this line of your song contrary to the meaning you intended/gibberish?

No.

As long as the words are in an acceptable order and the meaning can be discerned by going over the line I suppose it’s acceptable.

It just encourages the masses to speak English improperly because bards are often how language was spread and so

No, nevermind, I won’t lament the loss of times past where bards and minstrels actually had a purpose other than to be gawked at in awe by people as if they’re somehow better because they can pull on strings on a piece of wood with metal stuff attached while saying noises into a penis which amplifies their voices

Where they were taking the histories of themselves to others

Educating people

Telling stories

And

Entertaining them

Now they sing about how much their life sucks and all the people are like

Oh my god my life sucks too!

And rather than doing anything about it,

They do Nothing.

They just sing at eachother during concerts about how much life sucks.

We’re not gonna take it

SING IT WITH ME

NO WE AIN’T GONNA TAKE IT

WE’RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Hey Jim, what are you doing after the concert?

Drinking some beers and going home to do Nothing.

Wow me too. I guess we are going to take it after all.

Nothing gets around.

Nothing swallows us all.

And whenever the phone rings

I cry because it wasn’t your call.
