We live in a world where the funeral matters more than the dead, the wedding more than love and the physical rather than the intellect. We live in the container culture, which despises the content.

Sitting Here at the Diner With You

New Jersey and New York

I eat with spoon, knife, and fork

Drinking coffee from a mug

Sweet and creamy

Goes down like a hug

Sitting here, conversating with you

No matter the topic of discussion

Our words beating like percussion

You know it’ll be contentious discourse

You don’t agree with my choice of words

Us arguing like a bunch of nerds

About what things really mean

Losing the forest for the trees

Arguing about the species

Obscuring the true meaning

Sitting at the diner talking with you

Ohh, how I wiiish

I could cut the bullshit

Get to the true root of it

Not arguing about language

But that’s impossible with you

Anal retentive

Orthodox

New ideas should evolve

From what academics have discussed

You don’t understand

If they just spring up

In a conversation with me

Oohh, how I wiiish

We could cut the bullshit

That we could get

To the true root of it

Not get stuck in the meaning

Of language

But it’s impossible with you

We go and go

Talking in intricate circles

Repeating the same talking points

Ironically, we largely do agree

But your eyes cannot see

That we have similar viewpoints

It’s maddening talking with you

I’d like to cut the bullshit

So we could see eye to eye

See the whole picture

From the ground, up to the sky

But all you want

Is to discuss the font

Of the words I use to describe

Nitpicking my imaging

From the beginning

To how I’m finishing

It’s impossible with you

To talk about

What I’m not allowed

Because if I say a word

That you don’t understand

It gives you a crisis of understanding

Of how you view the world

The threads of your mind come unfurled

When I’m trying to share with you

All of my ideas

Sitting here at the diner with you

I find it kind of stupid how 'half full' vs 'half empty' is framed as an optimist/pessimist thing. If it starts full and gets halfway drained, it's half empty. If it starts empty and gets halfway filled, it's half full. If you don't know the starting state it's both simultaneously.

I didn’t grow up in a man’s man world. I grew up with my mum and my sister. But I definitely think in the last two years, I’ve become a lot more content with who I am. I think there’s so much masculinity in being vulnerable and allowing yourself to be feminine, and I’m very comfortable with that. Growing up you don’t even know what those things mean. You have this idea of what being masculine is and as you grow up and experience more of the world, you become more comfortable with who you are. Today it’s easier to embrace masculinity in so many different things. I definitely find – through music, writing, talking with friends and being open – that some of the times when I feel most confident is when I’m allowing myself to be vulnerable. It’s something that I definitely try and do.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.
