My desire is to be pure again and not dirtied by the world. But it's my duty to be as ugly and as filthy as I am, so the audience can experience what I have.
So anybody with any bit of intelligence has got to be pissed off because if they see how things are in the world, they're not going to be happy with it.
Enjoy your faults, that's what separates you from the rest of the world.
Let the ugly light of the world in, we are no longer blind.
Nothing's gonna change the world, nothing's gonna change the world. There was Lennon and a happy gun, there were words on the pavement.
I was very apprehensive, mostly because I didn’t want to get caught. By now, I had begun to feel removed from the everyday world of morality. Guilt had become more a fear of getting caught than any sense of right or wrong.
That becomes the revolution, to be idealistic enough that you think you can change the world, and what you find is you can't change anything but yourself.
I don't care if your world is ending today because I wasn't invited to it anyway.
The aspiration to save the world is a morbid phenomenon of today's youth.
All the drugs in the world won't save us from ourselves.
Black eyeliner. It’s standard. It’s all you need. It just makes the world a better place.
Yes, I'm reckless and sometime express no concern for my own well being, and I express a misanthropic view of the world, but to have an opinion, you can't be a nihilist.
I've never been a suicidal person. I've never been someone to want to see the world come to an end. But I would like to see something different than what I'm seeing. Because it is becoming a monotonous - as if you're watching re-runs of things you've already seen.
Those who move beyond the album's title and the most blatent aspect of what I do will then understand what I am trying to say.
