| The Mountain Goats – Color in Your Cheeks Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
There is a point in the inevitable downward spiral of meth addiction where concepts like 'friendship', 'home', 'sharing', 'broken', and 'selling' cease to have independent meanings... your whole life, every act, becomes infused with the drug, and the distinctions between "sharing hospitality with friends" and "selling drugs to strangers" are no longer clear. If you are messed up, and you need friends, and you invite people into your life, you (unavoidably, unless they have seen this before and know to run) mess them up, too. So... do you avoid friends altogether? Or does your need for companionship (or customers, or dealers) require that you make contact? And if you already disgust yourself, what happens when you destroy these people you care about (or at least your relationship with them)? These are the themes of these songs. |
