Observation of TBWKTM


Recommended Posts

If this has been discussed, feel free to move/lock this, I just don't have the time to sift through pages and pages of discussion >.<

 

Did anyone realize how overall depressing most of the songs are? I was going to say that some are obvious, but in spite of their peppy tune and all, so many songs are like, heartbreak (by the time, dr john, pick up off the floor), losing your way (Goodgone girl), etc

 

Like in One foot boy:

 

MY OH MY

I think my mind is gone

I'm left here wondering

Was I crazy all along?

What do I do?

Nothing left but pray

Gonna shoot somebody

Help me drive this craziness away

I’m happy on my own

 

We are golden, the bridge

 

Now I'm sitting alone

And I'm looking for help

Left here on my own

I'm gonna hurt myself

 

Many years have gone by

But I'm wondering why

I ever let the world,

let it bleed me dry

 

Are some examples of the darkness that comes out of this album. Is this maybe what Mika means by 'the boy who knew too much'? Thoughts, opinions? Should this be closed since it's discussed elsewhere (if so point me, I have further thoughts...)

lyrics on teh interwebz are never right... i should know that by now...

Yes the words do have great sadness. Like in Relax on LICM, where he seems to indicate that his life is a train wreck (broken train) waiting to happen (at the end of the line) So it's not just this album. It has been a theme on both the albums.

I tend to think he is STILL very insecure, even though he is confident on stage. I think when he's off-stage, it's a different story. God bless him!
