Im Actually Not That Traumatise - Tumblr Posts

Okay but have you heard the mountain goats song "steal smoked fish".

John Darnielle says it's based on a time in his life where he was addicted to hard drugs and he was friends with a lot of sex workers and heroin addicts, and it was an environment where if you fell asleep they would steal your stuff, but if someone tried to attack you they would be willing to die protecting you. And it's a song about how most of those friends of his are dead now, and the years they spent squatting in abandoned buildings and stealing their food.

It's my favorite song by them and it will make you feel things.

"I see your destinies above you

Like angels who don't love you

Let them kiss you and hold you tight

As long as the money's right"

I just listened to it and definitely makes me feel things even if It doesn’t fully resonate with me.

The line “attach c-4 where you must

Disappear in a cloud of dust” reminded me of Timothy stoker from tma though and that really made me sad :(
