| Ben Folds – The Ascent Of Stan Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
anna118k, i saw him in concert and he acknowledged the smilarities between this and "mess." He said he could sue himself for it, but that he'd see himself in court about that one. Anyway, on the surface this song is what everyone has said, its like growing up and accepting the status quo. however, my sister made a good point. she said it is about his fear of selling out. "in fact you have become/all of the things you've always run from" seems to be the best example. Ben Folds is (was) pro-napster, and makes music because he loves it. If I were him, I would be afraid that I'd end up lame, performing on the Teen Choice Awards just for the money in it. Oh yeah, I really like "Mess" i think it is a beautiful, tragic song. |
