sculpted from bewilderment, contempt, and adulation in the Anthracite Shard, Tokyo, Japan
so people who write songs about broken hearts always use the most trite cliches, right? "i did you wrong" or "you did me wrong" and it's all emotional manipulation by the songwriter for the listener to feel pity for them. but what's a real broken heart? an aortic dissection. something that you have to look for, find it quickly, and fix it before it's too late, and often, it's too late. it's not an analogy, but it can be if you want it to be. we tear into the core of these people and ask them: who do you call god? then i ask myself, who would i rather be god?
