On The Outside Lyrics

Cover art for On The Outside lyrics by Oingo Boingo

Some of these lines are powerfully synergistic with Fight Club's anti-consumerism, especially the second to last verse (Your house is modern really kitch).

But other parts of the song address the other side of Fight Club that really interests me - expressed in the movie with the line "I felt like destroying something beautiful". Even though these people are fucking evil, they're the ones who're laughing and enjoying life. And me, the guy who sees the problems with that, is the lonely one.

@ofnothing May have been 4 years ago, but you're wrong. Those people oftentimes aren't happy, you just don't see that. Happiness comes from within and must be chosen. I think other people don't even recognize their unhappiness or honestly even that they are conscious.

I hope you are in a different mindset now. 4 years ago I felt the same way.
