      i Recently had a drunken break, and Fucked something good up again with my black ex, i made love to her after a BLM protest the other week(the one in Philly..), the line "we fell into it, like a daydream, or a fever.." was playing in my head on n off, while Fucking her. After she told me to "have a nice life" the other night(after my drunken bullshit over the phone.. she lives 1.5 hours away..), i told her
      "I have Greatly Appreciated having you in my life. Stay Safe."

    "We fell into it; like a daydream, or a fever". These words will haunt me until my last day. I've fallen many times, and gotten back up once more each time. But since the first time, I have been different. It truly is like a daydream, or a fever. I don't know who I'm writing this to, maybe no one. I am drunk now. I feel as though I've been watching the world crumble around me in slow motion. What bothers me most is the beauty. Our lives are the balance of beauty and tragedy. Godspeed, friends.

      I am right here within this duality. I see The Duality. Life is so horrendous and divine; Vile and Benevolent. Beautiful storms erase memories.. Calm waters can smother those who do not belong.. Child birth is wondrous pain. Losing something can help you gain another.
      Our egos have us trying to contort our surroundings around our comfort. That only creates stress, because you can't change everything. Instead, we need to start understanding that life may not *look* how we thought and conform to Find your comfort. We can't avoid The Duality, but we can ride it like a wave.

    The car is on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel
    And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
    And a dark wind blows
    The government is corrupt
    And we're on so many drugs
    With the radio on and the curtains drawn
    We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
    And the machine is bleeding to death
    The sun has fallen down
    And the billboards are all leering
    And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
    It went like this:
    The buildings tumbled in on themselves
    Mothers clutching babies
    Picked through the rubble
    And pulled out their hair
    The skyline was beautiful on fire
    All twisted metal stretching upwards
    Everything washed in a thin orange haze
    I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful -
    These are truly the last days"
    You grabbed my hand
    And we fell into it
    Like a daydream
    Or a fever
    We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
    For sure it's the valley of death
    I open up my wallet
    And it's full of blood

    I felt like we were in a post-apocalyptic world and some great leader spoke to us in a way reminiscent of Charlie Chaplin from that 1940 political satire film The Great Dictator.

    One time i was flying interstate. And there was a beautiful sunset happening right outside of the window. As corny as it sounds, i quickly grabbed my phone and queued up this song. I watched the orange light slowly fade into darkness over the curvature of the earth, All while listening to 10:40 to 14:25
    It was one of the most amazing things i have ever seen. Great band, Killer track.

      For an anthem of 2020 check out Titus Andronicus “I Blame Society” it was written at the end of 2018. “While they refine the virus that makes us obsolete”
      “I'm not sick, it's the world that is, they're hiding their disease
      Behind a giant sign that's twice the Size of life as we perceive it to be. This sign I describe, it reads: "In silence, you are free"
      That's how they try to tie and
      Tightly bind us, reclined in our seats, oh my
      They think that we are spineless, I think they are all cheats
      It seems the Earth is speeding swiftly towards a grave catastrophe“

Most likely he's talking about the suffering of the third world and the economic/ political corruption (think "blood money") that is necessary to sustain first world countries under capitalism. Could possibly the fact that America's success is built on the blood of the second World War. He could also be talking about the literal genocides that paved the way for development in the new west.
