And so we go, on with our lives
We know the truth but prefer lies
Lies are simple, simple is bliss
Why go against tradition when we can
Admit defeat, live in decline
Be the victim of our own design
The status quo, built on suspect
Why would anyone stick out their neck?

Club “We’ve got ours”
I’d like to introduce you to our host
He’s got his and I’ve got mine
Meet the decline
This song, by a comedian, is a showcase of the hopeless, fucked up, irredeemable, state of humanity.
These 2 particular lines brings a tidal wave of emotions:
20 thousand years of this, seven more to go
The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all
(Actually, the whole song, the whole album gets me)
That Funny Feeling ~ Bo Burnham
Stunning 8K-resolution meditation app.
In honor of the revolution, it’s half off at the GAP.
Deadpool’s self-awareness, loving parents, harmless fun.
The backlash to the backlash to the thing that’s just begun.
There it is again, that funny feeling
That funny feeling
There it is again, that funny feeling
That funny feeling
The surgeon generals’ pop-up shop, Robert Iger’s face.
Discount Etsy agitprop, Bugles’ take on race.
Female Colonel Sanders, easy answers, civil war.
The whole world at your fingertips, the ocean at your door.
Live-action Lion King, the Pepsi Halftime Show.
20 thousand years of this, seven more to go.
Carpool Karaoke, Steve Aoki, Logan Paul.
A gift shop at the gun range, a mass shooting at the mall.
There it is again, that funny feeling
That funny feeling
There it is again, that funny feeling
That funny feeling
Reading Pornhub’s terms of service, going for a drive.
And obeying all the traffic laws in Grand Theft Auto five.
Full agoraphobic, losing focus, cover blown.
A book on getting better hand-delivered by a drone.
Total disassociation, fully out your mind.
Googling “derealization”, hating what you find.
That unapparent summer air in early fall.
The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all.
There it is again, that funny feeling
That funny feeling
There it is again, that funny feeling
That funny feeling
Hey, what can you say? We were overdue
But it’ll be over soon, you wait
Hey, what can you say? We were overdue
But it’ll be over soon, just wait, ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da
About a year after it came out, I was singing along with it during a depressive episode and realized ‘seven’ wasn’t accurate anymore. It freaked me out, but I realized that part of the nature of the song is the impending doom, and I have to change the lyrics when I get to that part.
One of my favorite songs of all time. I revisit it once a year or so but have to be careful because as much as I love it, it can put me in a dark place. I’ve urged a lot of friends to give it a listen while paying attention to the lyrics but that seems to be quite a commitment for most people 😂
Like as in you traveled across the country to see them? If so, that sounds fun. I’ve driven across 3-4 times (assuming you mean the US) and it’s been a lot of fun each time.
It would be really great to see them for me this time since they are playing with the Descendants (the two were my introduction into punk music)!

This the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper.

…Four more to go.
Don’t forget to factor in the time between him writing, recording, and releasing it.

Just in case, this year is your last chance to see them live. Thought you might want to know that 😊
Yea I just saw that in my feed. I’ve never seen them live (though I hear they suck live 😜) so I should def try.
I missed them my whole life, until this year. Crossed half the country. It was amazing.

Yes! Although in a smaller country than the USA, with high speed trains 😇
Oh cool!
Only moron and genius would fight a losing battle against the super ego.
