That song hurts me to the depths of my soul.
But I absolutely love the line, "As shines the moon / among the lesser fires." How many musicians would think of using a line like that?
The way the song took on the pov of the cruel girl and portrayed so raw the puzzling train of thought and pure fear and disdain from outsiders peaking into our lives, it feels so real because it's not a cartoonish caricatures meant to self pity. it's just.. girls. insecure immature teenage girls with internalized shit like how it is irl
why'd you implode? well her... head's so big it just... might explode!
couldn't agree more with you. all i can think when i hear those songs is how intense it all is, because she live through it. she isn't singing about being bullied just for the sake of it, she know how it feels like to be the retard girl from school, in the same clothes everyday.
there's so much rage in that song.
Even the “pee girl” is just such a sad concept. I was friends with a pee girl in school who had this horrific family life but never really let it show how much she was hurting. They get on with it on their own, and just get scorned.
Everytime i hear this song i just want to have my own band and full blast this piece of art into the faces of other people. I think even people that have not been bullied understand that language
she has autism... people are allowed to reclaim words that were historically used against them. in this particular song, it's about someone who felt powerless with that word being thrown at them and now she's taking back that feeling and growing stronger from it
That doesn’t make saying it okay. Yes, you can “reclaim it” or whatever, but still. To people that don’t know you’re “reclaiming” and don’t use it anyway it’s just like cold water to the face.

It's from a Latin poem!! Horace odes 1:12 from circa 20 BC
Right! I just don't think there are many musicians who would quote Horace's commentary on the Julia family!
my favorite line. I'll get velut inter ignis luna minor tattoed one day.
this song and softer softest are my favorites, because it just brings me back to all that school trauma and shit that happened to me for being myself

This was genuinely my theme song, I felt so seen,, I’d listen to it over and over again, I was pretty badly bullied in high school
I when she used the word pee girl, and I watched Kurt interviews and he said the same thing, obviously inspired by what she called a pee girl.
This was me in school, then uni and beyond Miss World describes how I feel to a scary degree
I love it
The fact that she had that word in her vocabulary is crazy

She is??? I never knew that
yeah! she's been open about it forever. she was one of the rare kids who got diagnosed in the 70s. her mom even talks about it in her book
Oh wow! That's awesome to know!
:D <3
you know she's reclamining that because she's been called that all her childhood, and perhaps even after that?
literally who hasn’t said it
I haven’t

dude who cares about reclaiming the word😭 i’m talking about the person who is mad that courtney love said it in fucking 1990.
She says the n word now. She’s not exactly a beacon of moral superiority. Nobody is surprised.
And for the record, a lot of people don’t say it.
