One of those songs

You have any of those? The ones you listen to when everything is going to shit and you’re not sure you can cope and somehow just the sound of it gives you that extra millimetre of fingernail to use to cling on to whatever sorry fucking handhold you’ve managed to find? The ones you can put on repeat without getting bored of it because somehow, somehow it’s suddenly like wearing a safety harness and discovering a belay and just for those few minutes you feel, if not that you can climb back up, that at least you can take a breather and you’re not going to fall right there and then?
Right now this is mine.
Everyone Is Totally Insane – The Dandy Warhols
Odditorium or Warlords Of Mars (2005)Hear me out, for I was joyful once
Like everyone
Hear me out, I must have changed
Sometime and all at once
Cos it seems
That nothing stays the same as certainly as me
And nothing stays the same but meWell I have toiled and I have tamed
Constricted and constrained
Just to learn about how everyone is sane
When I am old and I am lame
And ruthlessly estranged
Ask me then what I have gained from almost everyone, oh-ohHear me out, for I have everything indeed
Hear me out, I must have changedWell I have toiled and I have tamed
Constricted and constrained
Just to learn about how everyone is totally insane, now
When I am old and I am lame
And ruthlessly estranged
Ask me then what I have gained from almost everyone, oh-ohHear me out, for I was joyful once
Like everyone
Hear me out, I must have changed
