YOU BETTER THROW HER IN THE WATER!

Brian Eno - By This River

ONE OF THE COMMENTS: THIS SONG MAKES ME FEEL UTTERLY HOPELESS

A REPLY: EXPLORE THE UNMAPPED AREAS AROUND YOU (EXELLENT, POLITE, NON DESTRUCTIVE SUGGESTION OF THE KIND THAT
FOR SOME ODD REASON IS INSTANTLY REJECTED, WHY? BECAUSE THE THOUGH WAS NOT YOURS, SO KILL THE MESSENGER! HONESTLY,
I HAVE TO QUESTION SOME OF WHAT WE LEARNT AS REACTIONS TO SEVERAL THINGS
MY REPLY: WHY HOW OBSERVANT OF YOU, ARE YOU SURE 'UTTERLY HOPELESS' WAS EXACTLY HOW IT MADE YOU FEEL?
I GUESS SO, OMG DUDE, GO PUSH THE BOUNDARIES ON THE ENVELOPE OF BELIEF, SOMEWHERE ELSE MAN, LIKE MARS

I HAVE TO ADD THIS LITTLE BRAINSTORM ALSO: IT MAKES YOU FEEL THAT WAY, BECAUSE YOU JUST KNOW YOU'VE BEEN ROYALLY SCREWED
BY A CERTAIN CLASS OF PEOPLE WHO TAUGHT YOU THEY WERE TRUSTWORTHY, TOTALLY (OH, AND THE ONLY ONES WHO WERE!)
AND YOU BOUGHT IT
AND WHAT WAS SO BRILLIANTLY PRONOUNCED AROUND 1929 (I THINK BY W C FIELDS OR SOME OTHER STAND-UP) 'THERE IS A SUCKER BORN
EVERY MINUTE'
I BET YOU THOUGHT THAT MEANT, IN OCCULTESE (ONLY BECAUSE A CARNY MAN SAID IT) THAT DIDN'T INCLUDE YOU, YOU WERE FAR TOO SMART,
ETC, ETC
IT'S GENERALLY SAFE TO FEEL THE STRENGTH OF ONE'S OWN IMPENDING DOOM, THE BETTER TO BRACE FOR THE 'BLOW'
I THINK WHAT REALLY MAKES YOU FEEL UTTERLY HOPELESS, IS THAT YOU ASKED FOR IT, YOU KNOW
AND IF YOU DIDN'T, YOU REALLY DIDN'T GIVE TWO SHITS, THINK ABOUT IT
END OF 'YOU GOT WOT YOU DESERVE' LECTURE

AND TO THOSE THINKING 'WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS GUY THINK IS SO FUNNY?' HERE IS AN ANSWER, BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION
TO THE LYRICS, I'M SORRY IF THAT PUTS YOU AT A DISADVANTAGE!
