the haunting thing about
instead of being sixteen, i'm burning up a bible
feeling super! super! super! suicidal
is that
not only does
the first line suggest an absolute total loss of innocence (sweet sixteen) with the renunciation of religion
(you burn a bible, you are no longer sixteen)
if you listen to it playing
it sounds a bit like a subverted hymn, like some sort of mockery
and the second line sounds so terrifyingly nonchalant about death
and
once again, when you hear it
there is such a chilling excitement about it like
they look forward so, so much to dying
it is the way a teenage girl would sing along at a pop concert
(let me hide behind superficial things let me forget my troubles)
they are so wrecked they do not care about anything any longer
and all they are is sadsadsad
it is mindlessness cult-ure ish
(is it?)
the thing is,
two days ago
this is what kept me company.
ah, the delicious perplexities of adolescence.
