But but if he knows that god loves him then why doesn't he love him back
Because for some reason, he just can't. Maybe he can't believe? Maybe he chooses not to?
Regardless, MVOTC really is a generation-defining album. "Obvious Bicycle," while not religious-orientated is another example.
Morning’s come, you watch the red sunrise
The LED still flickers in your eyes
Oh you oughta spare your face the razor
Because no one’s gonna spare the time for you
No one’s gonna watch you as you go
From a house you didn’t build and can’t control
Oh you oughta spare your face the razor
Because no one’s gonna spare the time for you
You oughta spare the world your labor
It’s been 20 years and no one’s told the truth
And here they're personifying a generation's music.
Back back way back I used to front like Angkor Wat
Mechanicsburg Anchorage and Dar es Salaam
While home in New York was champagne and disco
Tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco
But actually Oakland and not Alameda
Your girl was in Berkeley with her Communist reader
Mine was entombed within boombox and walkman
I was a hoarder but girl that was back then
Welp, just listened to Anything goes and Chasing the sun. Verdict:
Heavy metal and reflective(?): 7.5/10 - 0.5 for the try hard title so 7/10.
Chasing the sun: 4/10 - Makes Lucy interesting in comparison.
Anything goes: 5/10. Okayyy, I guess?
Bang Bang: 3/10. Bang bang is exactly what I'd rather do to myself rather than listen to that song in full.
Very prophetic!
