Yeah, yeah, yeah.....

So my hubby introduced to me The Yeah Yeah Yeahs a while back and at first I wasn't sure....they have a completely distinctive sound all on their own and I wasn't it was my "thing". But the more I listened to them the more I liked them and started really appreciating Karen O.'s voice and unique writing style. Their new album It's Blitz is totally growing on me and right now their song 'Dull Life' is my favorite!

One mistake in a subtle way
Like I'm walking again, all on me
Step slowly, you know that you fall between
Dark places, what a simple web we weave

We've seen the nightmare of the lies that you speak
The beast that I lie beneath is coming in
We've seen the nightmare of the lies that you speak
The beast that I lie beneath is coming in

Know myself
Know myself
Well, oh hell
Prissy queen
Iron bars
Iron heart
Iron bars
Everything

A hundred years old
A hundred years old

Last on the village scene
Fall apart
Iron heart
More alive than you've ever been

We've seen the nightmare of the lies that you speak
The beast that I lie beneath is coming in
We've seen the nightmare of the lies that you speak
The beast that I lie beneath is coming in

Well, it's a dull life
It's a dull life
It's a dull life
It's a dark place
It's a dull life
It's a dull life
It's a dull life
It's a dull life

Know myself

We've seen the nightmare of your lies
We've seen the nightmare of your lies
We've seen the nightmare of your lies
We've seen the nightmare of your lies
We've seen the nightmare of your lies
We've seen the nightmare of the lies that you speak
The beast that I lie beneath is coming in
We've seen the nightmare of the lies that you speak
The beast that I lie beneath is coming in

Know myself

I love that line "We've seen the nightmares of your lies". I have dealt with so many liars in my "short" lifetime and over and over I see the nightmare they not only create for themselves but for those around them. I guess it's because they live a dull life - and being themselves doesn't seem fun or cool enough so they have to create a lie for themselves to feel special. And they think leaving or changing who they hang out with is going to "fix" things when in all reality they are the issue and until they change the same things are going to keep happening and nothing is really going to change. I watched a movie not long ago called Dakota Skye. It was an indie film about a girl with a "super power". Her super power was always knowing when someone was lying - she heard the truth instead in her mind. Even her boyfriend lied to her about simplistic things but one day she met a guy who NEVER lied to her. He just simply put it like it was and left it at that. And in the end she fell in love with him - all because, even when they truth was harsh or not exactly what she wanted to hear, she respected him for just being upfront and honest. And I so want to be like that and find people like that. People who are good with each of us being different. I had a "friend" for awhile who seem to think she had to tell me what she thought I wanted to hear. If she thought I didn't like someone then she would say she didn't, even bash them to convince me I guess. Then to their face she was their best friend and loved them and thinks they are "great"! What she didn't understand was that I didn't expect us to like all the same people or like to do the same things or do things the same way. She didn't realize that I didn't want to be friends with myself - I could easily do that all alone! My best friend right now is very different from me - we don't like all the same things or the same people but we are respectful of that. And in the end it's totally great with both of us! If I don't like it I just say so, and if she does she just says so and we go on! It's pretty simple if you think about it! People think they can leave bad experiences and problems behind when actually they are their own bad experiences. They've created them, nurtured them and carried them around.....things done change unless you change them.
