“These days I wonder why we’re holding back on
bliss. You blaspheme everything you see, I just want to give you a kiss.” - Third Eye Blind, Can You Take Me
This caught my attention because it implies that
the individual holds themselves back from experiencing happiness. Why would
someone not what to be happy? So the remain miserable by choice in order to get
attention? Why would one want to be pitied?
I also thought that it was an interesting longing,
to want to kiss someone who blasphemes everything, presumably even love. I
think it also hints that they desire someone who is completely different from
themselves, or someone who openly expresses things that the speaker keeps
hidden and barely acknowledges to themselves.
Opposites attract.

One has the want to know what is unknown.
Dan: Everybody wants to be happy.
ReplyDeleteLarry: Depressives don't. They want to be unhappy to confirm they're depressed. If they were happy they couldn't be depressed anymore. They'd have to go out into the world and live. Which can be depressing.
From the movie "Closer"
Food for thought.
