So Desperate

Lyrics

I feel like introducing this song is for the people in denial, right. Like you know the story, but you can probably just glide by until there’s a story that doesn’t have anything to do with me; the affair that I’m having really is nowhere near that. We don’t park in those particular sorts of places. And it’s warmer where we are, so the windows are usually down. That’s another major difference between my situation and these characters who I can’t really relate to in this otherwise perfectly functional song. But it’s really not about me and my affair that I’ve been having for a year or two or four that I’m fairly certain nobody knows about but everybody actually does. All the people that you think you’re fooling, you’re not fooling. That’s kind of the awesome tension, is the delusion of the person who thinks he’s fooling everybody and the absolute awareness of all those people in there and their refusal to call that person out just to keep the tension going. We are a cruel and sadistic race. (2012-06-22)
