Happy Easter to all those celebrating. It didn't really feel like Easter to me. I went to Brunch with my cousin and my grandparents. We didn't have a basket so went to a nearby Rite Aide and bought my grandma a whole bunch of chocolate. There wasn't any thought put into it. Then I returned home to derp in my room and sleep. A really sad Easter if you ask me. Then I was listening to random songs and "Pieces" by Sum 41 came on and I kinda had a serious feel from it. Especially this part:
I tried to be perfect
But nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real
I thought it'd be easy
But no one believes me
I meant all the things I said
I've tried being the person people want, and it's just plain painful. I have to be me, not some other fake facade. Some people may look down on it when I act relaxed about everything and can be cocky, but that's me. It's still possible for me to be humbled. But unless you did something to earn my respect, you're no more significant to me than a rock outside. And it started off easy. Doing all my work, going to sleep on time, fitting my life to a schedule. But it was empty. To conform to what other people want means serious sacrifice. There's only one person I think I'd ever change for. She knows it too.
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
Yea I'm just going to analyze how I relate to this song. This embodies what I feel. I think that me being stuck int he "friendzone" and how I literally put myself in it by wanting to talk deep and letting people know that I'm always there to listen, well that it's intentional. Of course not on purpose, but the mind is a wonder in how it knows what you really want when you don't. I always complain about not having a girlfriend, and how I just want someone in my arms. But no, I don't think I do. Me being the deep man that talks to girls about their feelings and what's wrong is my subconscious saying I want friends. I prefer kinship. Friends last longer than someone you had a thing with. And in the end, my closest friend is always the girl that I love to an undefinable extent.
This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don't know how it got so bad
Sometimes it's so crazy
That nothing can save me
But it's the only thing that I have
I don't want to leave. Even though I hate my house, my neighborhood, my city, my country. I could never imagine myself leaving any of it. Even though I hate it, it's also where my memories are. It's where my friends are. But also "this place" is where I'm at in life. I'm always tempted to move past friends with people, but I never get anywhere when I give in. That it managed to fuck me over so much that I can't really pick myself up sometimes doesn't matter. It's where I'm at and I'm happy here.
Overall it's a pretty sad song. But I think sometimes it is just me choosing to be alone and without a girlfriend. In the end, it's friends that really matter. If I didn't have anything to tie me down to this horrible and fucked up world I love and hate so much, I doubt I'd be here right now to complain about it.
