I was 11 when that album came out but I was probably 12 by the time I first heard it.
I’ve mellowed a lot since then, but man that album is so beautiful. I wasn’t suicidal when I was 12, but I did wish I was dead or didn’t exist a lot. This album was the first time I ever realized other people felt that way, too.
My favorite song was “The Becoming”.
The me that you know he used to have feelings
But the blood has stopped pumping and he’s left to decay.
The me that you know is now made up of wires
And even when I’m right with you I’m so far away
I still had some friends back then. I had a chance to be something back then. To change something. To get help. But I didn’t know how. Now here I am. Hanging on to this miserable life wishing that boy could have been wiser, but knowing there was no way for him to know how to be.
