thomas yager-maddenSure the lyrics are beyond and grim and nihilistic, but somehow -- I suppose in a Hesse-Steppenwolf sorta way -- I've always found the refrain of this song weirdly but *enormously* inspiring and uplifting. Like, the idea that I always have the option to destroy myself can itself serve as an incredibly powerful motive to push myself to be as *creative* as I can manage instead. It's like a little existentialist prayer: SET ME ON FIIIIIIRRRE!!!
