Awkwardly Cast

There was so much demand for a new blog, they have come too few of late said she.

Awkwardly Cast is a lyric from Pink Bullets by The Shins, whose new album has finally arrived, tomorrow (*nice use of imperfect tense, stu). It has no relevence to this entry, well it does now, but that single phrase was stuck in my head for about a minute as i walked downstairs to succumb to my growing addiction: special k; the healthy kind. I have been cast in my drama AS piece of Oedipus Rex. The one he gauges out his own eyes with. Some might say i have been awkwardly cast as Creon, someone who many people see as evil. I'm not very evil, so i will have to get in role and research people like Stalin and Guy Pearce. I never recognise him. Actually Creon only turns evil in "Antigone" when his fall from grace occurs.

I looked up Pink Bullets on Songmeanings.net, hoping to find not many responses so i didn't have to read much. Instead i'll do something better. Blog it.

"Since then it's been a book you read in reverse
So you understand less as the pages turn
Or a movie so crass
And awkwardly cast
Even I could be the star"

The Shins write strange lyrics. Indignity said...

"this reminds me of when you break up with someone, and you see them everywhere, and you remember all the good times you had, but you just can't talk to them. and you can never go back."
