emotions

one of the things that i really love about music, and music therapy is how much i can really relate to the lyrics of a song. not just the words, but the emotions it evokes or the words they convey. for example, this song from my favorite album by the offspring really relates to my rage.

Feelings
Nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my
Feelings of hate

Imagine
Beating on your face
Trying to forget my
Feelings of hate

Feelings
For all my life i'll feel it
I wish I'd never met you
You'll make me sick again

Feelings, oh oh feelings
Of hate on my mind

Feelings
Feelings like I never liked you
Feelings like I want to kill you
Live in my heart

Feelings
Feelings like I wanna deck you
Feelings like I've gotta get you
Out of my life

Feelings, oh oh feelings
The hate's in my eyes

Feelings, oh oh feelings
You're not very nice 

i love singing along to this song when i'm angry, as it helps me to process my emotions in a way that doesn't lead to self-destruction. it also helps that i picture the object of my rage while i'm singing, imagining beating them to death or stabbing them or any other fun thing that would actually land me behind bars in prison for about twenty-five to life.

now before you start screeching your whale songs about how if i write a blog it must be about you, keep in mind that if you're not 5'9" with red hair, hazel eyes, freckles and a penis, then this entry ain't about you sweetcheeks. ;)
