| Gnarls Barkley – Crazy Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
i don't think this song has anything to do with attending parties and going crazy to escape his dreary lifestyle in that sense, i think it's deeper than that and some people are taking the writer to be less intelligent than he actually is. i think the meaning is that they had so much shit in their life that it drove them to a form of insanity in which they realized the world as what it really is "knew too much" as opposed to everyone else in the world who doesn't know enough. i'm not saying i'm right, and i'm open to the heavy criticism i'll receive and i know this isn't what the song is about but it might help you see my point in a different light: Depressive realism is the proposition that people with depression actually have a more accurate perception of reality, specifically that they are less affected by positive illusions of illusory superiority, the illusion of control and optimism bias. The concept refers to people with borderline or moderate depression, suggesting that while non-depressed people see things in an overly positive light and severely depressed people see things in overly negative light, the mildly discontented gray area in between in fact reflects the most accurate perception of reality. - floatingparticles (tumblr) |

| Sufjan Stevens – Pickeral Lake Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| does no one else think this has to do with some kind of abusive relationship, and how the ..persona.. wasn't willing to be part of it..? i thought this cause it's reinforced by the fallacy that it's stormy weather, showing the persona's mood... i may be completely wrong but i certainly don't think this is a meaningless song as others suggest. | |
