Defining yourself in titles and lyrics

[mitchables]

I dunno, I stumbled upon this through my usual trawlings online and thought it was an interesting concept.

Choose a band/artist and answer ONLY in titles/lyrics of their songs:

1. Choose a band/artist:

Say Anything.

2. Are you male or female:

"Pretty boy floating face down in a pond of glue."


3. Describe yourself:

• "Eat, sleep, fuck and flee. In four words, that's me. I am full of indifference."
• "Taste. I have no taste. I don't like these tiny portions or your artful abortions of sound, slathered in the sauce sarcastic, so go choke on your irony."
• "Strange, I'm skinny when I'm standing, but I'm Buddha when I sit."
• "I'm full of it, I'm full of it, I'm full."
• "That boy, he's got woe."
• "Well, let me tell you this. I am shamelessly self-involved. I spend hours in front of the mirror making my hair elegantly disshevelled. I worry about how this album will sell, because I believe it will determine the amount of sex that I will have in the future. I self-medicate with drugs and alcohol to treat my extreme social anxiety."

4. How do some people feel about you:


"All my friends are enemies
And they just turn their backs to my face
their actions biting me
And all my friends are enemies
So I'm always on my own

I'm the ball, they're batters
They're climbing social ladders
I'm left at the bottom
Oh, my goodness
they're fatter
Sometimes I remember the days when friends were loyal
Instead they backstab me
I'm falling down so royally."


5. How do you feel about yourself:


"I'm proud of my life, and the things that I have done. Proud of myself, and the loner I've become. You're free to whine, it will not get you far. I do just fine with my car and my guitar."

6. Describe an ex-boyfriend/girlfriend:


"You're too young to be this empty girl
I'll prepare you for a sick dark world
Know that you'll be my downfall.
But I call and I call and I call.

I called her on the phone and she touched herself.
She touched herself. She touched herself.
I called her on the phone and she touched herself.
I laughed myself to sleep.

I don't know what I want."

7. Describe where you want to be:


The Writhing South.

8. Describe how you live:


"I watch my yellow cat invade my red cat in the yard.
The feline war has raged for years so I assume
it’d be too hard for me to drive my foot between them.
I would never risk the scratch
just to prove to one or both of them a cat is just a cat.
Again, I watch my cousin Greg watch MTV inside his home.
He makes fun of the Hip-hop videos from the couch he rides alone.
Snug in the cushion of his cackling he forgets his looming doubts.
He has relied on this for years; you will not yank the carpet out.
Oh, no. These are my friends. This is who they have been for always.
These are my days. This is how they stay.
This is who they remain forever. This is how we stay."


9. Describe how you love:


"When I watch you, I wanna do you right where you're standing, yeah.
Right on the foyer, on this dark day, right in plain view, oh yeah,
of the whole ghetto. The boots stomp meadows, but we ignore that, yeah.
You're lovely, baby. This war is crazy. I won't let you down, oh no no."


10. What would you ask for if you had just one wish:


"Please take me out of my body up through the palm trees to smell California in sweet hypocrisy. Floating, my senses surround my body. I wake my nose to smell that ocean burn."


11. Share a few words of Wisdom:


We Will Erase All Life On Earth But Us.

12. Now say goodbye:

"Here I am, laid bare at the end of my rope. I've lost all hope. So long."

------------------------

That was much harder than I thought it would be. Little bit dodgy in some places, but you get the gist. Should be some interesting responses, if anybody bothers with it.
