Lyric Appreciation Post for Lonely Is The Muse

"I spent years becoming cool and in one single second you can make a decade of my efforts disappear"

"I always knew I was a martyr and that Jesus was one too"

"I was built from special pieces that I learned how to unscrew"

"I can always reassemble to fit perfectly for you or anybody that decides that I'm of use"

"Where do I go in the process when I'm just an apparatus?"

"I've inspired platinum records I've earned platinum airline status"

"I mined a couple diamonds from the stories in my head"

"I'll be a wind chime in the window catching light to throw around"

"I will exist in every second just to decorate your life"

"I will nurse my wounds until another artist needs me new"

"Lonely and forgotten is the [muse]"

fave lyrics this week?

Thanks as always, anon! <3

This week, predictably, it's all about Lonely is the Muse.

I'm especially obsessed with the chorus:

"I always knew I was a martyr and that Jesus was one too, but I was built from special pieces that I learned how to unscrew. And I will always reassemble to fit perfectly for you, or anybody that decides that I'm of use."

But my favorite line from the verses right now:

"Where do I go in the process when I'm just an apparatus? I've inspired platinum records, I've earned platinum airline status. And I've mined a couple diamonds from the stories in my head, but I'm reduced to just a body here in someone else's bed."

And for fun - I've been listening to some of Chappell Roan's old music, and my current favorite is "Die Young." My favorite lyric:

"Sleep with the devil, go dance with him. It's your life, do what you want to. Baby, why you so locked up in lies? Don't you know you could have the truth?"
