What I don't like, is writing about fake bad things happening to you.
I'm trapped in the cage, I have so much rage, I can't see because of the pain, I think it might rain. Coming from the middle-class, "harcore" kids who grew up in OC, writing about how they have all this angst, when they haven't had anything "real" happen to them. I call bullsh!t.
Stuff like that is stupid. When it's real and full of emotion, you can relate and the song just kind of touches you.
Sometimes I hit notes only dogs can hear.
