Songempfehlung:

Some things will always be true
the sun always sets in the west

Romeo and Juliet is tragic
time is wasted on worry

and everyone is made of pure, unadulterated magic
except for Boris Johnson

Trans men are men
trans women are women
them things by now should be a given

It looks worse when it’s online

Facebook is not research
no matter the hours you spent on it

there are no solutions at the bottom of a doomscroll

and you’re never at your best when
you’re looking at someone else’s
highlight reel

There are so many ways
to be yourself

don’t get lost in the options

all the paper straws in the world
won’t save a single polar bear

but making Amazon pay their proper taxes could

don’t be afraid to dress like
an idiot at least once in your life

embrace your cringe, embrace your cringe

If they won’t let you join
a union, start a mafia

the means you cannot seize
you should steal

If you love doing a thing, and you’re not hurting any one
or yourself, do the thing
don’t let anyone stop you doing the thing

If you love shoplifting from department stores,
do the thing

department stores aren’t people

Sometimes the answer is to sleep on it
sometimes you need to face it head on

sometimes it’s scarier in your head,

and when you stop running, you realise the monster was a shadow all
along

Recognise the difference
between alone and lonely

your life
isn’t that kind of movie, it’s more
like a rambling soap opera that’ll
eventually run out of budget

I hope you get old
I hope when you get old
compassion is cool again,

if you’re lucky, one day you’ll
wake up, and you’ll be out of
the zeitgeist’s eye.

You won’t recognise the music, you’d rather
go to bed at ten.

Your pleasures will be gentler, movements slow
goalposts shifted, your former burdens slightly lifted, and that
would be okay, it happens to
most of us
Maybe By then you’d have stayed cool
maybe you’d could do something else
with your life
Like learn to swim
