So I was going to go into this totally long and detailed account of why I had a crappy week but then I thought, what’s the point?

So instead, I will relate something rather awesome to you.

The Paramore Brand New Eyes deluxe thing I ordered arrived yesterday. Brand New Eyes is an amazing album. I love the structure of it, and how it starts off in a really quite angry manner but ends pretty hopefully.

The kewlest part being that I have it and it ISN'T EVEN OUT YET!

And despite the fact that I’ve never been in a band that got very famous very young and then nearly broke up I feel like I kind of relate to this song:

Turn It Off

I scraped my knees when I was praying
And found a demon in my safest haven, seems like
It's getting harder to believe in anything
You just get lost in all my selfish thoughts

I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light?
Turn it off
In all my spite
In all my spite

I'll turn it off

And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better of when I hit the bottom

The tragedy is in the ending
I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending
We're taking short cuts for solutions
Just to come out the hero

Well I can see behind the curtain
The world's cranking, turning, so wrong the way we're working
Towards a goal, that's not existent
It's not existence, but we just keep believing

And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better of when I hit the bottom

I wanna know what it'll be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light?
Just turn it off
In all my spite
In all my spite

I'll turn it off
Just turn it off

Again
Again

And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better of when I hit the bottom

And before I go, I also want to ask a favour of anyone that reads this.
