you know i thought they were scottish.
this song sums up most conversations doesn't it? most conversations you have are false, what people ask you and what you are obliged to ask them is false and it's total crap. like, say you were in a car with some ordinary person who hadn't done much with their life and there's that tension you get where you have to talk, but about crap cos you don't know them well enough yet to talk about anything intersesting or they just aren't an interseting person to talk to anyway, so you start having false conversations. and it starts off as 'how are you' etc, and if it's someone who doesn't talk back (those people REALLY annoy me) then you have tostart talking about proper crap, like, 'so, err, have you been on holiday recently?' and it builds up to the 'awkward silence'. thing is, i find this situation really interseting because the awkward silence tells you alot about the person who the awkward silence is with. if they continue to be self centred and persistently wait for you to ask them questions for them to bluntly answer to then i don't really think they are worth the effort. or it goes the other way and you get to know people better. I have this theory though where you don't HAVE to talk. it sometimes is worse when people really do start talking about utter shit about themselves or something really really boring to fill in gaps cos then you think, oh, comeon shut up. i think there's a line in a song somewhere, but i use it all the time and it is, 'in between the silence there was conversation. i just think thats the best. and it goes with this song. why should we talk about crap if we don't care? it's because people jugde too easy. if you talk about shit people get bored and annoyed and if you don't then people think you're rude. or is it just me? actually i've made myself out to be a non communicator type now haven't i? i'm actually very good at talking but not about shite.
