“It was pivotal in making you but you don’t remember it. Or do you? Do we understand the events that make us who we are? Do we understand the factors that make us do the things we do?”
― Douglas Coupland, Shampoo Planet -
Parents, teachers, government - they all teach you how to live the dreary , deadening life of a slave, but nobody teaches you how to live normally.

Manics fan for life
Methadone pretty babes on the run. A mess of eyeliner and spraypaint born to end, born to destroy and born to create. Rock ‘n’ roll is our epiphany and like the underdogs we are under neon loneliness we slash and burn, kill to live, kill for kicks. Stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer we will not give up and we will not give in. Can anybody hear the screaming of us? The screaming of us! Culture, alienation, boredom and despair! Braindead motherfuckers, we’re gonna shoot you dead with decadence!

But even so, every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles. The pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades. I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at four o’clock in the morning.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche (via terrorofexistence)(via howrosiegotherbounceback)

Evil Alien are a band that hail from the empty, post industrial backstreets of Birmingham. They fuse the backbone of trip hop beats with harrowing and intertwining vocal melodies that collide with electronic sounds, psychedelic guitar and a throbbing low bass to form a fresh release of aural complexity.
Q magazine Next Big Thing 2011 “Brummie sextet who count the likes of Portishead, UNKLE and Kraftwerk as influences, but who fuse their trip hop / electronica roots with a hulking bottom end.”

God, but life is loneliness, despite all the opiates, despite the shrill tinsel gaiety of ‘parties’ with no purpose, despite the false grinning faces we all wear. And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter - they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long. Yes, there is joy, fulfillment and companionship - but the loneliness of the soul in its appalling self-consciousness is horrible and overpowering.
Sylvia Plath (via antevorta)
