lyrical lies

i love music. i really do, because so much of it speaks to me in the moments when i feel so alone. but it just pisses me off to hear some of the songs about pain and death and those types of things. i mean i love the songs they're good and all, but they're all asking for help or to be saved and its just frustrating to me. why does no musician seem to recognize that only you can save yourself, and screaming for someone else to do it is pointless? these songs are always telling you that you need to search outside of yourself, you need someone else to be okay. lies, lies, and more lies. i mean, yes of course, it would be so fantastic and easy if superman would come and make everything bad inside go away. but no one person has that power. believing that is just delusion, and it builds an unhealthy dependence on another person, and most people break under all that pressure and leave you in shambles all over again. most everyone i know who hasn't been broken already would tell me that i'm just being cynical and pessimistic and that people really are good and help make other people okay. but they can't show me one example of that. not one. but they still believe....i guess you just have to be lost to know nobody can find you.
