Do You Think I'm Pretty? Lyrics

theres no window in this room
not that i've really missed the view
its just that i may soon forget
the way the grass looks when its wet

it seems to sad to call this home
however i had time to think about the past to write this song
im running out of ink

im trying hard to read your mind
built a machine to travel time
blessing the globe with pestilence
this is my magic residence

it seems to sad to call this home
however i had time to think
the medication does not work
theres poison in my drink

now i lay me down to sleep, i pray the lord my soul to keep.
if i should die before i wake, then thats just my luck.

they never told me they would put me away

i am not insane
i am not crazy

i made a magic wand today
maybe ill wish myself away
next to the ocean where birds sing
these are a few of my favorite things

it seems too sad to call this home
however i've had time to think
about the past and what went wrong
im running out of ink

oh the sickness
oh the sadness
i cant think

I think it is about someone in a mental hospital

Astute observation.

This sounds like something out of the "China White" storyline, like where the gardener first comes into view.

I saw a video of it, portraying a man who was in a mental hospital. He had several progressive flashbacks to his life before, involving a girlfriend who dumped him. At the end, you find out his "magic wand" is a starter pistol, a garage gun. He goes to the ex's house and sees her with a new boyfriend. Keep in mind, it appears to have been months since he got dumped. When she doesn't take him back, he takes out the gun, shoots the new man, and perforates the girl. Then it goes to more proof of insanity.

Apparently, they never said they'd put him away. This shows me that the cops didn't think that there was enough to prove insanity, but... if you think of the man in this song as the Gardener, it makes perfect sense.

Perhaps this is a side-story to "China White"? I suppose we can't really be certain. But, it certainly seems that way to me.

i feel like this song is about getting over the effects that drugs have on the way you think and process things. obviously there's alot going on in his head. his life, his love, and the fact that he thinks he's going crazy but doesn't want to beleive it.

also i agree with oggeymoggel about it being a side story to china white. makes perfect sense. reflecting on what he has done, with a murders mentality.

Again assuming that this is aconcept album, Hollywood theme, then he is talking about the lack of good music. First verse= the room is his mind. Outside is the gay music that's being put out these days. He doesn't miss it but may forget what good music looks like.

Chorus: sad that this is what's left for the music industry but can now see what went wrong with the industry.

Verse 2: only in his mind( magic residence) he can go back fix the industry.

Never told me... Put me away: I didn't Think I would be One of the odd ones. Thinks those who make good music should be more popular but bad music seems to be more "normal" .

Last verse: feels like he should quit music and do something else he likes
