The Cure - Tumblr Posts
✵ ABOUT ME ✵
<————————————————>
✦ Salutations, you may call me Santi, but anything else may suffice.
✦ My current age is 15!
✦ I identify as omnisexual/pansexual with a preference.
✦ I enjoy using Tumblr to connect with certain friends, but I'm considering using it more to express my thoughts and write essays on various topics, even if no one finds them particularly interesting.
✦ I take pleasure in poetry, history, theology, philosophy, writing, and literature. Each of these subjects enriches my mind and soul, offering a unique perspective on the human experience. Poetry allows me to explore emotions and beauty through words, while history provides a deep understanding of our past.
Theology and philosophy challenge my beliefs and encourage profound contemplation. Writing is my way of expressing thoughts and creativity, and literature opens the door to countless worlds and ideas. Together, they form a tapestry of knowledge and inspiration that I cherish deeply.
✦ I am fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian, and I also have a basic understanding of Chinese.
——————————————————————————
——————————————————————————
✦ Some not so important topic I enjoy:
Video games: The Fallout franchise, War Thunder, Red Dead Redemption series.
Music: David Bowie, Jeff Buckley, Nirvana, The Cure, Talk Show Boy, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Mayhem.
Other things: Aviation, planes, sports, art/drawing, playing guitar.
Socials;
Discord: Stör (stor5721)

That’s all for now, you can ask me anything or ask me to write something (nothing wrong of course) !!

The Cure's Genius, pt. 1
Siouxsie Sioux once said this about John McGeoch:
He was into sound in an almost abstract way. I could say "I want this to sound like a horse falling off a cliff, and he would know exactly what I meant."
I believe the same applies to Robert Smith. I can vividly sense a vibe of dilution and pointlessness, quite literally running towards nothing in “A Forest,” which is reinforced by the lyrics at the end:
The girl was never there It's always the same I'm running towards nothing Again and again and again and again...
"One Hundred Years" feels like a hundred years of sensing the death blow closing in with pain and a creeping feeling, and "The Kiss" is how kissing someone you lust after but do not love would sound like. "Fascination Street" takes you on an adventure with "fun" people who are fun only because they don't care about anything, including you. It’s amazing how every one of their songs feels like a unique theater show. Beyond the musical aspect, the lyrics are so tasteful. For example, this is from "How Beautiful You Are":
I turned to look at you To read my thought upon your face
I've never heard any other band touch on different aspects of a deep interpersonal connection like in "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep." But that's no surprise, coming from someone who found long-lasting love with his high school sweetheart at the age of 14. They ace every love song they make, from "The Lovecats" to "Lovesong." They're not like every other artist; they're musical geniuses. Then comes the feeling of grieving the possibility of god forbid growing bored of them and being left alone in silence to deal with the myriad experiences that only they can picture so ever artistically. Because truly, no one can embody art as well as The Cure does.
The Cure's Genius, pt. 1.5
Sometimes it seems I stopped being myself And without a word Turned into somebody else Full of wishes, wants, dreams, And desires For a life Of conceit and deceit And repeat and rewrite Not sure who I was Before this me and I changed But I know this me now Is not really the same… Friends are as strangers And strangers as friends And I feel like I’m wired in a why Yeah, my friends are as strangers And strangers as friends And I feel like I’m lost in a lie And every day my world gets slower And colder and smaller And older and lower And every day My treat gets closer to trick Yeah, every day my world gets slower And colder and smaller And older and lower And I’m tired of being alone with myself And I’m tired of being with anyone else Yeah, I’m tired… Like I’m sick None of my favorite things Are quite right To the mirror man Screaming at me In the spite of another False start Dirty, worn out, and used Up and down To the ground Disavowed So confused All made up in the belief That me is the same As the eyes in the glass But I see my eyes change… Friends are as strangers And strangers as friends And I feel like I’m wired in a why Yeah, my friends are as strangers And strangers as friends And I feel like I’m lost in a lie And every night my world gets quicker And lighter and shorter And tighter and slicker And every night My truth gets closer to dare Yeah, every night my world gets quicker And lighter and shorter And tighter and slicker And I’m sick of being alone with myself And I’m sick of being with anyone else Yeah, I’m sick of being alone with myself And I’m sick of being with anyone else Yeah, I’m sick… Like I’m tired? Like I’m scared…
This perfectly captures how I've been feeling lately... I love the seemingly contradictory parts bolded... Hits home. Their music makes me feel understood and happy, yet it also pulls me deeper into this swamp of despair.
P.S. I love how they post their songs with lyrics on their website :) It's refreshing to see band websites offering more than just merch.
