| Emilie Autumn – It's Time for Tea Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Maybe, but she personally uses tea as a way of calming herself. Like if things are stressful or if her mind gets stuck on something, she stops and drinks a cup of tea to break the chain. So I think this song is more about venting her frustrations and angers. Also serving as a warning that eventually she or another won't stop for tea and there will be hell to pay then. She spent I think a two week mandatory observation period in a mental ward. |

I'm no expert, but I would say this isn't a cry for help or someone trying to be pompous. This is the anthem of someone hoping others might understand her. She tells the listeners what she does and what she feels in hopes that people will understand her more even as they judge her. She's trying to describe what it's like to live with what some call a mental illness. It's quite a beautiful song in sound and in message. If you've been blessed to not have a mental illness, be happy for that. People should not pretend to have one or even identify themselves as suffering from depression for feeling down for a week. I know it's hard to understand, but those with these actual illnesses have to fight themselves every single day. Every day starts with trying to find a reason to live and to keep going on. That might sound easy to some, but if you're bi-polar or actually suffer from depression, it is hard to remember anything good that has not been twisted in some way or another. Your own happy memories become rotten caricatures so that you're only left with the worst things you've experienced. Try going through life only feeling the worst the world has to offer? These things are lifelong, you don't just one day get better. There is no break, there is no cure, there is only enduring and taking a lot of pills. So when I hear the line: There's nothing more you can do I'm gonna blame it on you It's not the way I want to be I only hope that in the end you will see It's the Opheliac in me I don't see some mean girl lashing out for no reason, I don't see some manipulative person, I don't see any malice at all. I see someone who is fighting for their life, sees that they are doing wrong to someone, but can't find a way to prevent that while living. It's an apology, and one with a full explanation, not an excuse. |
