Song #34: Disease
Saturday, June 25, 2011 at 02:46PM 
"Of course it don't feel right! What has felt right for you doesn't work! You need to try some wrong, dawg!" [The 40-Year Old Virgin]This is a song about tiring of doing good. It's from the perspective of someone who's grown weary of playing by the rules, being spoon-fed other people's expectations and - in keeping with the intent of this project - being in a relationship that is outwardly "right" (in the opinions of others), but inwardly lifeless. After all there are some experiences life holds for those who are adventurous enough to color outside the lines.
I don't want to choose health
I'm living life on my knees
I feel I'm gagging on good
I crave a little dis-ease
Try to wheel me in,
Lock me up in a cell
But I ain't looking for a cure,
I wouldn't pay to be well
I feel a wicked, sly smile
crawling up on my face
There's something sick inside
Way down low like the bass
I feel it pulse within
Like the beat of this song
And if lovin' you is right
Well then I want to be wrong
They all think they know best
Tell me just what I need
And I played along
For forever it seems
But see I've caught a bug
An infectious disease
And now I see you're just too good,
t-t-too good for me
Does it hurt? Does it hurt when I do this?

Love the description leading into this song ~~ the actual lyrics are pearls of wisdom & there's a heckuva beat going on that can NOT be ignored! Great work of art, Trevor......rock on wit ur bad self....
Ok. So I don't listen to these songs in order, because I listen to them in chunks of like three and four together and I listened to 35 before 34. Crazy contrast. Loved 34 because of that gutteral, deep down dark feel, but it came out more because of hearing 35 first. Love it...
Rock on wit UR bad self! :) Thanks.
MJS - Ya, 34 and 35 are about as different as 2 songs can be. "Gutteral" - I like that description.
I am digging the upbeat techno vibe. Way to keep it fresh after all these weeks!
