invisible_r Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 "flagpole sita"- harvey danger is quite funny I had visions, I was in them, I was looking into the mirror To see a little bit clearer The rottenness and evil in me Fingertips have memories, I can't forget the curves of your body And when I feel a bit naughty I run it up the flagpole and see who salutes (But no one ever does) I'm not sick, but I'm not well and I'm so hot 'cause I'm in hell Been around the world and found That only stupid people are breeding The cretins cloning and feeding And I don't even own a TV Put me in the hospital for nerves And then they had to commit me You told them all I was crazy They cut off my legs now I'm an amputee, Goddamn you I'm not sick, but I'm not well And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell I'm not sick, but I'm not well And it's a sin, to live so well I wanna publish 'zines And rage against machines I wanna pierce my tongue It doesn't hurt, it feels fine The trivial sublime I'd like to turn off time And kill my mind You kill my mind Mind... Paranoia, paranoia Everybody's comin' to get me Just say you never met me I'm runnin' underground with the moles Diggin' in holes Hear the voices in my head I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring But if you're bored then you're boring The agony and the irony, they're killing me, whoa! I'm not sick, but I'm not well And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell I'm not sick, but I'm not well And it's a sin to live this well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 (edited) pretty much the whole Eels album "Electro-Shock Blues" is about mental illness, depression, suicide... The Medication's Wearing Off ~ Eels See this watch she gave me? Well it still ticks away The days Im claiming back for me The medications wearing off Gonna hurt not a little, a lot Keep on tickin youre not lickin me Step on a crack break your mothers heart Red light, green light, black Suicide e-mail do not delete Plug it back in the jack Start to be what they want you to be And you see yourself as they see you Sunsrise at the corner of Sunset and alvarado I think what the hell do I do now Watch the day disintegrate So I can stay up late and wait See this watch she gave me? Well it still ticks away My Descent Into Madness ~ Eels Springfields looking pretty dusty today I see their dreams coming undone The view from inside ward nine affords this much A town teeming with the unloved Close the window and lock it so its good and tight La la la la la la la la La la la la la Turning eighteen and trying not to look too lost Have a not so nice day The jacket makes me straight so I can just sit back and bake You know I think I'm gonna stay Talking very loud but no one hears a word I say La la la la la la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la Come visit me tonight at eight oclock and then you'll see how I Am not the crazy one Voices tell me Im the sh*t Twenty days go by and every day looks the same (same, same, same,...) La la la la la la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la I'm the sh*t ... great now I'm depressed...

TheTallOne Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 In essence, much of "The Wall" is about mental illness, not nessecarilly actually going crazy but what happens when you do. It's actually one of the stronger works about mental illness, when you really think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
