Can you describe yourself with Rasputina?

Try to describe yourself with parts of Rasputina lyrics:) Or with a whole song I leave it all to your imagination!

"nobody's laughing when everyone's weeping, it seems"

"me, my life is long, with reasons few like you. when i go and when i'm gone i will understand this things i never knew, (...), one day is long enough if you really think about it"

"am i the infidel? i thought it was supposed to be someone else, but now i see it's me. i am my own worst enemy"

etc.

But I think right now there's a song that, to me, says more than any lyric, which is "Oh Injury Reprise"

It's hard to find definition in Rasputina since the lyrics are always story-telling,
Some lyrics I identify from personal experiences might be:

"I don't know about a year ago or so
I must have made you up in my head.
What did I base you on?
Was it a Broadway show I saw?
A hot new book I read?"
(m.. it reminds me of the feeling of paramnesia I got with a boy some time ago)

"We want to give you the courage to
Go a different way."
(Well, this one I just adore, Rasputina opened my mind to many new options, and took me to some really beautiful and weird new places)

"I think of a lot of a things when I'm walking.
I think of a lot of a things walking home.
I say them aloud, to myself I am talking.
I talk to myself when we are alone."
(Annnd, with this image I identify.. you know.. walking home alone and thinking...)

I think that's all..

alrighty, even though this one is a cover...it still fits.

My goodness, tears won't give you anything Just a shiny red nose Go on paint up powder up put on your swellest clothes Men, you'll get them by the score Neglected girls shouldn't worry That's what God made sailors for! Don't cry for him or chase him Just go out and replace him With some good-looking Tom, Dick, or Jack 'Cause if your kisses can't hold the man you love then you your tears won't bring him back.

been through what feels like a score of boys this whole last year and this song always pops in my head when i get told some bullshit reason as to why they don't want to be around me.

It'd go from ninety-five degrees to freezing within hours, A brutal struggle for the people and the starving livestock.

just like at work...you'd think someone at paypal would figure out how to regulate the thermostat.


Five fleas band together against all odds to form a new company. A new company performing treachery, advice to givers, and other varied services. Starting a new business is always very very difficult, but these guys had charisma. They had it, the extra x-quotient, the pure unadulterated chutzpah to put them head and shoulds above the rest. What they lacked, however, was backing. So if you know anybody...

again, work...in the old departments we'd have groups of people conspiring against the others...

It's not like they mattered.
Who sucked out your spirit?
Listen how we shout at them.
They can't hear it.

It's not fair
And it seems impossible
That it happened at all.
That there were people who saw
The Herb Girls of Birkenau.

I love this song. And yeah, well I was never a Girl of Birkenau, but i was bullied really much in school and noone ever noticed my suffocating and nobody cared. It was the worst time of my life

I can watch forever
I can watch for hours
It just get better
It gives me power
I can watch for hours
I can watch forever
It gives me pleasure
It makes me better

I'm the lucky one.
Always having fun.

There's only 24 of us here on this island in the sea
And we know Queen Mary Todd has sent her army,
And I can be the hero that you need me to be.

- from "Choose Me For Champion"

I think this line sums up a good portion of my life as it was (but not as it is now): fantasy, lonely, and wanting to save someone when I needed to save myself first. Other songs I connect to are Hunter's Kiss, Secret Message, and Crosswalk, among others.
