@[sinisterkidd:9841] I'm with you on this. The lack of feeling thing, I mean, sometimes you might feel bad, but so often you try to describe what your feeling (even to yourself) and you feel nothing - hard to describe if you haven't felt it, but for me, it's like nothing's getting through in either direction, no connection, all alone in a crowd, feeling no love. There's still feeling inside, normally kinda painful, but I can't relate it to the world, it sort of feeds on itself from there. For coping, I tend (lately at least) to just close off. For Homme, being vulnerable sounds like opening up to others and exposing vulnerability as a way to reconnect, and get help to emerge after "truely falling apart". That part, I'm awful at. I think most of us are. The actual vampyre of time and memory - that I don't know, but the rest feels a lot like me, what I feel when I'm in deep. Disconnected, not just from others, but from me (that "I kinda don't know who I am right now" feeling). My theory on the Vampyre: I've a feeling the Vampyre is about Homme's time in Hospital under sedation/not with it, having nearly died, not remembering visits, people, what happened, post op meds, confusion. It dies when he's medically better, but he's lost that time that memory and he's trapped in depression, lost connection and feeling with those he loves, alone in this crowd. |
