Obsolete Lyrics

This is how
I feel right now
Obsolete
Manuscript
No one reads
And no one needs

Pages lost
Incomplete
No one knows
What it means

Minds grow dark
So suddenly
I was lost
On your street
Hey, I'm talking
To myself

I can hear
You listening in
To my thoughts
To my dreams
What I want
Can't compete
Obsolete

Take me to
The waters edge
Let me stand
In the sand
Let me hear
The waves crash land

Useless part
This useless heart
Useless art
What am I
Why am I
Incomplete
Obsolete

This is how
It feels right now
Obsolete
Manuscript
No one reads
No one needs

Useless part
This useless heart
Useless art
What am I
Why am I
Incomplete
Obsolete

All I want
Can't compete
All I want
Is asleep
All I want
Incomplete
All I want
Obsolete

Cover art for Obsolete lyrics by Regina Spektor

This song sounds to me like she is depicting Alzheimer, or any kind of degenerative memory / brain disease. Can not thing of any other thing that fits better. The mind grew dark, talking to self, the incompleteness and how no one reads it.

But somehow it seems to also apply to so many desperate scene in life..

How could a song of this sad and cruel topic be this hauntingly beautiful and surreal, that part I can't understand. Can't think of much artist have this caliber nowday.
