The Perfect Drug

Creep

When you were here before,
Couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You’re so fucking special

But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here
I don’t belong here

I don’t care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I’m not around
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell i’m doing here
I don’t belong here

She’s running out again
she’s running out
She runs runs runs

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here

Written by Thom Yorke, but wish it was written by me.

I have a lot of friends, you just can’t see them!

Many, many acquaintances, but only a handful of friends. To all that I have had the pleasure of meeting and befriending, I’m sorry to have pushed you all away, I never took your friendships for granted, deep inside I felt that I was never good enough for you and would’ve probably let you down. One day we’ll find each other, somewhere, somehow and you’ll know that you were deeply cherished. After years and years of mastering the art of self-loathing, I’m evolving, change is in effect and you’re welcomed in my life. Please come in and stay a while.

About a Son

“It was a mixture of like, hating people so much because they didn’t live up to my expectations and just being so fed with being around the same kind of idiot all the time, I mean everyone was just a carbon copy of one another, that it was obvious in my face and how I reacted towards people that I couldn’t stand them, you know I had a personal vendetta against them because they were so macho and manly and stupid. I started to be aware of this that people were noticing that I had this hatred towards a lot people and, and it was pretty much the general consensus with everyone that knew me that I couldn’t stand them or that I was edgy all the time and so I just started feeling really neurotic, like paranoid in a way because they knew I was going to freak out at any time” – Kurt Cobain, About a Son

It’s a bittersweet feeling knowing how I can relate to this. It’s a feeling that I’ve felt all my life, as a child, a teen, and now as an adult, comfort comes in isolation. I often thought it was because I couldn’t relate to or enjoy activities that people around me often enjoy. When surrounded by people, a feeling of being alone and abnormal overwhelms me . The older I get the more tolerance I build and acceptance towards life in general. I’ve come to realize that it might be something else that withdraws me, maybe deep inside I simply don’t want to disapoint everyone.

Right Where It Belongs

Right Where It Belongs is the 13th track off of Nine Inch Nails 2005 release, With Teeth. It was written by Trent Reznor and is one of his greatest masterpieces. This is my attempt to translate it…

Ahi Esta Donde Pertenece

Vez el animal dentro su jaula que armaste

Estas seguro de que lado estas¿

Esta mejor no ver lo hacia los ojos

Estas seguro de que lado de el vidrio estas¿

Vez la seguridad de la vida que haz hecho

Todo esta donde pertenece

Siente el vacio de tu corazon

Y todo

Ahi esta donde pertenece

Que si todo lo de alrededor de ti

No es lo que parece

Que si todo el mundo que conoces

Es un sueno elaborado¿

Y si miras tu reflexión

Fuiste todo lo que quisiste¿

Que si pudieras ver entre las grietas

Te encontrarías – te daría miedo ver¿

Que si todo el mundo estuviera dentro de tu cabeza

Puras creaciones de tu imaginación¿

Tus diablos y tus dioses todos los vivos y los muertos

Y en realidad estas solo

Puedes vivir en esta ilusión

Puedes escoger en creer

Sigues buscando pero no encuentras el bosque

Mientras te escondes en los arboles

Que si todo lo de alrededor de ti

No es lo que parece

Que si todo el mundo que conoces

Es un sueno elaborado¿

Y si miras tu reflexión

Fuiste todo lo que quisiste¿

Que si pudieras ver entre las grietas

Te encontrarías – te daría miedo ver¿

Novel

This project originally started as a novel, but at this point I feel that it would be better to present it as a graphic novel.

“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encircles the world.” – Albert Einstein

Ideas and stories fuel my imagination that fills my head. They say that there’s nothing new under the sun, but I’m confident that something beautiful will come. I am my biggest obstacle, the Great Procrastinator, but in reality, nothing can stop me now.

Anne Rice, Trent Reznor and James O’Barr’s The Crow, have all been extremely inspirational and will always have a special place in my heart. Interesting fact, “In the 1990s O’Barr was affiliated with the experimental metal band Trust Obey, which was signed briefly to Trent Reznor‘s Nothing label before the band was dropped. Trust Obey released the album Fear and Bullets: Music to Accompany The Crow in 1993. The album was packaged with a special edition of The Crow graphic novel.”

Defined.
