Living in bad faith. Negation, negates.
His facticity, not very likely

He was a teenage existentialist, nah-a
He understands Being & Nothingness, sorta
He has a poster of Simone de Beauvoir
He calls a bedroom a boudoir
Wonders how fame and fortune occur when
The world is so absurd

Summer syllabus
Metamorphosis
Crime And Punishment
Wall and No Exit

He was a teenage existentialist, nah-a
He trained a pet cockroach he named 'Kafka'
He flunks Spanish class, he gets buried in French
He thinks predestined, it makes no sense
Entitles his final exam
'I think, therefore I am'

He was a teenage existentialist, nah-a
He was a teenage existentialist, nah-a
He was a teenage neo-nihilist
He likes to fuck the poor and blow the rich
He had a crush on Ivan Ilych
Does he really exist?

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
