letra de the emo song - cicada

[verse 1]
well i was born a couple years too late for the emo movement
but i’ve listened to enough conor oberst
personally, i think “lifted” could use a few improvements
but as far as far as song-writing goes i guess he could’ve done much worse

[chorus]
and you know me, i still have all my usual objections
when it comes to monetising emptiness
but there comes a time when i have got to make exceptions
and stop writing about thе eyes of fish

[verse 2]
well i triеd to cry myself to sleep last night
but my tear ducts wouldn’t work so i sat and tried to conjur empathy
told myself off for only thinking in left and right
and for every time i stopped to think of me

and i told myself off for self absorption
but here i am winching about it
truth is, i was born to late for the emo movement
but that hasn’t stopped me taking part in it

[chorus]
and you know me, i am still just begging for conversation
though i know that it’s awful to talk to me
and once a month at least i still devote all concentration
to forcing this worthless emo bullsh-t into your ears
[verse 3]
well i got into it about the same time indie music
became soulless and commercialized bullsh-t
at the time, i never thought of it as a reason not to do it
i guess it never occurred that that was part of it

[chorus]
and you know me, i still have all my usual issues
when it comes to destroying art for the sake of profit
yet here i am posting myself to spotify and youtube
in hopes that i can take part in some of it

[verse 4]
and i guess that’s why i’m up here with only an acoustic
as if any of you have come here to see me
if there was a point to be made in any of this you’d bet i’d overuse it
but i really cannot think of just what that could be

you have given me your precious time and in return i have abused it
and now pointless and trite songwriting right down to a t
i guess i shouldn’t associate with all this soulless music
but perhaps that’s all i’ll ever be

[chorus]
and you know me, i will behave as if any of this matters
until the motherf-cking cows come home
’cause the truth is that i’m just trying to stave off every second
’til you leave, ’cause i don’t want to be alone
[verse 5]
just like everyone else, i want to be a unique person
i don’t know if that’s something i can achieve
’cause everything we do and say is based on others’ learning
based on people who wanted the exact same thing

[outro]
and you know me, this song is just a rip-off
of another, but it’s turned out so much worse
’cause i was born a couple years too late for the emo movement
but i’ve listened to too much conor oberst
