Object of My Affection by Sara Johnsen
June 30th, 2006 10:08 AMi must admit i didn't think we'd end up like this. i was younger then. i've spent the time since then trying to forget. i almost did.
that's when i see you. i know it's not true. i might never get over you.
just sigh and say goodbye. it's been so long i forget how to try. can't help remembering you like you're mine, but you were never mine, so sigh and goodbye.
i must admit i ran as far away as i did to get close to you. i'll admit i love and dread the letters you send. here there's nothing new.
if i could just hear you tell me it's not true. i don't want to get over you now. i can't believe that after all we said, you're still a mystery. i'm just history.

This is always a precarious situation...
You did an awesome job w/ the task, but ...
Song = Amazing
Song does not = Creepy
The lyrics are somewhat inaudible w/ my headphones, so that might be the problem though...
hmmm.
the lyrics are about being obsessed with being with someone who doesn't return the sentiment. i find that pretty creepy.
i didn't want to contextualize it, but it's about my old band and about my friend's fixation on a girl. i made the music poppy on purpose to make the lyrics spookier. the backing vocals, big muff, chord phrasing, and rhythmic/lyric reference to a journey song are all elements lifted from my old bands' musical output.
but, does it still count as creepy if it's not creepy out of context? confounding!
Wow that's great! I'm not sure about the creepiness factor though. Maybe I just need to take a harder look at the lyrics.
