Dischord Records - Doing it wrong (by elmodernisto)
Dischord Records doing it wrong for decades now.
Kinda makes me want to take back all that rollerblade bashing I did when I was a teenager.
Kinda.
This Nick Cave thing is bordering on obsession.
But can any of the few here deny the raw power of:
“I stick my fingers in your biscuit jar, and crush all your gingerbread men..”
or my personal favorite:
“…What’s this husband of yours ever given to you? Oprah Winfrey on a plasma screen, and a brood of junky buck-toothed imbeciles, the ugliest fucking kids I’ve ever seen…”
Sweet glorious-lawd! It’s getting hard to relax!
In the dark night
The Boy walked from the village into the woods
He stole meat from his neighbors
And carried it in a sack
On the outskirts of town he stripped down
He smeared the meat on his clothes and dragged them into the field
The Boy sought the Wolf
The Wolf came
The Boy knelt nude behind a tree
He watched his clothes torn to tatters
The Boy listened to the Wolf feed
The Village would weep
The Village would cry
The Village would mock the Boy no more
There in the darkness the Wolf would kill who he was to them
In the night
The Boy laughed
In the night
The Wolf’s head turned to face him
The Boy studied
The Boy stared
The Wolf knew Hunger
The Wolf had Desire
The Boy saw Death
and
The Boy looked away
He cowered
He shook
His trembling rustled the leaves
The stillness of the night betrayed him
The Boy forgot about the Village
He forgot about the night
He forgot about the chickens he had killed
To feed the Wolf
To kill himself
To hide from the villagers laughter
In the field the Boy stood
Nude
As the Wolf approached
He forgot about shame and pride and loss and pain
He saw only the Wolf’s eyes
He saw Darkness
He saw himself shaking and afraid
Echoed in time forever
He fell
Onto moist grass
The Wolf stood looking down on him
Again
The darkness of it’s eyes
The Truth of the eyes
Days painted black
Days stolen from the Wolf’s maw
The heat of the Boy’s face
Streamed with tears
The Boy was alive
The Wolf’s eyes
The Wolf’s breath
The Boy’s heart
Pounding
The Boy’s mind
Praying
There would be no savior
Emerging from the night sky
There would be no daylight
The Boy was given nothing
the Boy was prey
The Boy was a fleck of future darkness in a field of life
A forever scream of white noise waiting for death
The Wolf walked away
The Boy walked back to the Village
The Boy entered the Village
He stood before the Villagers
Nude
He stood before them
Covered in dirt, blood, and tears
He stood before
His teachers
His parents
His siblings
He had stolen from them
He had lied to them
But he did not fear them any longer

When you’re quoting Schopenhauer and release a dirty shower: Diarrhea. Diarrhea.
When you’re citing Marcel Proust and you feel that doo-doo juice: Diarrhea. Diarrhea.
When you’re laughing at Voltaire and you flood your underwear: Diarrhea. Diarrhea.
