One of those late nights up together & distorted in the best possible way, Rabbit asked me “why it is that neither of us can write anything good about anything happy, but the depressing shit just flows?”
Because happiness is boring, happiness is dull, its the really sad things that make you feel, that sweet natural shiver down the spine, like you hear a song that fits your mood perfectly and you know you’ve heard it before, a long time ago, yet you know this is the very first time, your mind tells you it has to be.
That’s what I told him, but maybe we write it because its depressing, because we live in a society that is ruled by hypocrisy and lies, because people need to see the bad side of the coin, dark side of the moon. How else can we change the forces that are shaping this world if we don’t point out the folly, the idiocy, the abuses of people, of money & of power.
