Lyrics that I love - updated regularly for your viewing pleasure!
Frankenstein - Antony and the Johnsons
I am falling into a chasm
I'm falling with you in my arms
No wait, these are your arms
Your arms of love that I'm falling into
Is this a vision of love?
When I was a young boy
Mama said, "You better watch out for the fall."
But now that I'm a grown woman
And I know, I know, I know
I can see the cold
I can see the cold to the place where he is born
Come on baby, let's fall, fall into the chasm
With me, fall into love
Cos I know that the vision, it will never shatter
For as long as I hold onto you in these cold arms
There's something in these eyes too close for comfort
But now that I'm a grown woman
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know the call to the place where it's born
You can see these arms are big and strong now baby
Well I'll prove to you these arms can hold you tight
It's cold, leave baby, it's cold, it's time
This is a vision of love and I'm freezing
I'm falling into cold, come on let's go

I don’t want to be nihilistic

But at the moment I find it hard to see any other way.

Procrastination is the key

I can't write well unless it's totally last minute! I pissed my way through school and came out okay, but maybe university isn't an institution where you can do things at the last minute and sti...

’The scars remind you that the past is real’

Are chromosomes permanent and gender roles innate? Many people in this modern age believe if you treat the ’symptoms’ of a disease, you will consequently be cured of disease. Some be...

My tolerance for people who lack originality has demised.

Your inability to create your own sense of style makes me laugh. You can’t bear to watch a slightly left-of-centre film because 1. You can’t understand it and 2. You can’t talk...

Being gay

is not as easy as it looks. At least once, if not twice a week I am either frowned upon, made a joke of or questioned about my sexuality. Which begs the question, why? How does this ...
