Okay so for Drug Drug Druggy I dont really have a favorite line but I really like the way it sounds, probably one of my favorite songs on Gold Against the Soul. And I really like the chorus. Its weird because I only started liking this recently and its not a song I loved a few years ago?

This is Yesterday is a song Ive always liked. It makes me feel like unjustified hope, like im okay with the future and seeing the next day. 

“ Someone somewhere soon will take care of you “

This has always been my favorite line for a long time. It just reminds me that I wont be alone forever something will come along eventually. And I feel like this whole song just reminds me that the future is coming so quickly (for better or worse) and no matter how I feel, good or bad, it will pass, and just as quickly a the last day went by today will eventually be yesterday.

“ My ideal of love comes from, a childhood glimpse of pornography “

“ I don’t wanna talk about anything “

I like this line because I think I just want someone I can be silent with, and they wont judge me, and I just dont want to talk about anything.

Actually my favorite part of Honestly? is just the ending, I really repetitive things so it being the same thing mostly and sounding nice is like my perfect song.

Ugh theres so much I could say about Roses in the Hospital and how much I love it but I could never put it into words. I think theres something about listening to your old favorite songs and liking them again that makes them so much better. Because for me this song is so different than when I first liked it. I didnt really like get the lyrics before, I mean I understood them and I related, but its just like now i can fully feel them. And also it sounds really nice so like whats not to like about it.

4st 7lb has ALWAYS been at least one of my favorite songs by them especially as someone whos always struggled with eating disorders and body dysmorphia to some degree. This song is so personal to me, I know this is horrible but when I was young and in my “honeymoon phase” I used this song to motivate myself and now its like, maybe if I had never listened to this song I wouldnt have gotten worse. Maybe I wouldnt be how I am now, or missed out on so many things, or worried so many people. And dont get me wrong its still one of my favorite songs, just not for the same reasons. But I think thats a good thing, I dont want to get worse anymore I actually want to be happy now and I think that means Im actually changing in a good way for once and its been a while since thats happened.

Also I know I probably sound like a loser talking about things nobody cares about but I don’t really care, I just like blabbing on about stupid stuff that doesnt actually matter lol.
