When you just want to curl up and lose yourself in a fog of anonymity so that the sadness also becomes anonymous.
What you'd imagine heartstrings to sound like -- simple and pure
Songs for purging and catharsis.
"It's a perfect day for letting go
For setting fire to bridges
Boats
And other dreary worlds you know
Let's get happy!
...
Kick out the gloom
Kick out the blues
Tear out the pages with all the bad news
Pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls
Tear up the stairs and tear up the floors
Oh just burn down the house!
Burn down the street!
Turn everything red and the beat is complete
With the sound of your world
Going up in the fire
It's a perfect day to throw back your head
And kiss it all goodbye!
..."

achingly beautiful perfect packages of emotions
