I'm disgusted with having to deal with the commercial side of our band at the moment and as a reaction, I'm becoming more uptight and complaining more. And it feels like I'm adapting a rock star attitude.
When I was younger I knew I could do anything - I could be the president if I wanted to, but that was a stupid idea - I'd rather be a rock star.
I didn't know how to deal with success. If there was a Rock Star 101, I would have liked to take it. It might have helped me.
I have to admit I've found myself doing the same things that a lot of other rock stars do or are forced to do. Which is not being able to respond to mail, not being able to keep up on current music, and I'm pretty much locked away a lot. The outside world is pretty foreign to me.
I don’t wanna have any other kind of job. I can’t work among people. I may as well try & make a career out of this. All my life my dream has been to be a big rock star - just may as well abuse it while you can.
I wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn't want to be a frontman. I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.
to mature, to me...is to wimp out...I hope I diebefore i turn into pete towshend
Mom hates dad, Dad hates mom, it all makes you feel so sad.
My lyrics are a big pile of contradictions. They're split between very sincere opinions and feelings that I have, and sarcastic opinions and feelings that I have, and sarcastic and hopeful, humorous rebuttles towards cliche, bohemian ideals that have been exhausted for years. I meean, I like to be passionate and sincere, but I also like to have fun and act like a dork... Geeks Unite.
Nobody deserves to have their personal life pried into like I did and no one deserves to hear me whine about it so much.
But when I did it, the thread unraveled. So I ended up jabbing in the needle and pouring ink all over my arm.
My mother died every night...it's safe to say, don't quote me on that.
I wish I was like you, easily amused.
I hate it when people take the things I say and turn them into something sexual. Just because it's funny to them, doesn't mean everyone is going to take it that way. And I don't.
