Well, I had felt this way with some of my own pictures of the past. Not because I used to look ugly or stupid you know, but because of all the f*cked up the context, I was living in back then. So yeah, some pictures even from yourself aren't lovely or pretty even to look at.
So yeah, I think in some pictures people are like forced to smile when they are living in a pretty freaked-up context. You know like those Christmas pictures you are forced to take even when your own family is ruined morally, or when you had intrafamilial violence problems and stuff like that. Some people nowadays had a bunch of pics on their FB or Instagrams, and yeah some of them may reflect legitimate happiness, but some others are just to get validation from the rest, and that's so sad and some kind of pathetic and very generalized in many people.
This song makes me remember that exactly, I mean, how many can take a picture that is a total fake pose, You may live in hell and be forced to smile nevertheless...
And well, Elliott was totally abused by his mother fcker stepdad, Charlie Welch, that's a fact, any psychological sexual abuse test would affirm that now, with the overwhelming emotional evidence Elliot left. So imagine that! Elliott himself was forced many times to take pictures next to this mother-fcking monster his stepdad was. He was forced to smile for those familiar mandatory pictures, that actually hid a horrid abusive truth. So yeah for him looking at those pictures must be dreadfully painful, especially when he lived in Texas during the early 80s.
A hard-living childhood is something that marks you forever and sadly never leaves, you always carry that hell within you. So pictures are only a sad terrible memory, even if you may look "happy" in them.
So I only hope Charlie Welch and Elliot's own mother rot in hell! they were the real monsters in Elliott's life. Because Charlie abused him and his mother never act against that. F*ck them both.
