The Youth Lyrics

Not to pict on emily14 anymore, but wow, what an angry person...

The real reason that I wanted to post was to say how much I like the "are you together?" line. Someone above posted that they thought this might be about relationships...could be, but I doubt it.

I think it's more likely about composure? As in, "keep it together." It kind of sucks to grow up now--how could you not be disaffected. It just seems futile to try to change the world sometimes.

Very thought provoking.

(In emily14's defense, booze, waves, and tears are liquids, generally speaking. So, clearly, is her brain.)
