Navigating Life's Abyss: Brodie Milner's Hedonist Revelation
Lyrics
I stopped reading dystopian novels
Stopped engaging with dystopian novels because life resembled one
When I realised that I was living inside of one
Realized life mirrored the bleakness of dystopian novels
I stopped reading romantic fiction
Stopped reading romantic fiction due to skepticism about finding love
When I realised that I would never find love
Realized the improbability of finding love
And I stopped reading between the lines
Stopped overanalyzing details and fine prints
And the small print on my parking fines
Ignored minor details, including parking fines
And I started taking bad advice
Began following bad advice from inspirational quotes
From inspiring quotes that said
Guided life by quotes suggesting the essence of life
The key to life is this
Believed ambition is essential and free
Ambition is free
Recognized the costs and benefits of success and failure
Success costs
Understood the relationship between victory and loss
Failure pays dividends
Noted the paradox of happiness and its cost
Victory holds hands with loss
Contemplated the uncertainty of tomorrow's happiness
Tomorrow's happiness comes at no cost
Exchanged antidepressants for stimulants and healthy food for drugs
If tomorrow never comes
Shifted to a lifestyle involving drugs and disregarding health
I swapped citalopram for benzedrine
Metaphorically turned oneself into a destructive path
And kale chips for ketamine
Found solace in violent experiences as cherished moments
I turned my body into train tracks
Accepted violence as nostalgic or significant memories
My fondest moments became violence
Ignored the passage of time without concern
I didn't worry where the time went
Identified as a character resembling Burroughs' style
I'm a character that Burroughs would be proud of
Feelings of improvement or relief
And I feel so much better now
Sensed positive changes or improvements
I feel so much better now
Reinforced the sentiment of feeling much better
And I feel so much better now
Reiterated the sense of significant improvement
I feel
Expressed feeling
I stopped thinking coherent thoughts
Stopped organizing thoughts logically to align with others
When I realised that I could just think like you
Adopted a mindset similar to others rather than independent thinking
And I stopped writing coherent words
Abandoned coherent writing for a stream of consciousness style
When I realised a stream of consciousness would do
Opted for a less structured, more spontaneous way of expression
And I started jumping on the trend
Joined the trend of justifying actions without considering consequences
Of justifying means without the ends
Engaged in justifications without focusing on outcomes
And I know I'm better than your friends
Asserted superiority over someone's friends
And I know that you think so too
Believed in one's perceived superiority
And I feel so much better now
Reiterated the sense of feeling better
I feel so much better now
Reiterated the sense of feeling much improved
And I feel so much better now
Reinforced the feeling of significant improvement
I feel
Expressed feeling
