Get A Grip.

"You want to be dressed in peotry but imagery doesn't fit, and you want resizing but darling dear get a grip." - Cute Is What We Aim For, Lyrical Lies.

It's so hard to be happy with your lot these days. It's so difficult because everyone else is flaunting their talents. I love Cute Is What We Aim For because they're so smart, lyrically. "You trained these lips and they were champs, and now they're itching for a comeback, so come back.". Shaant just has a way with words, he has his way with words. He knows exactly what to say. Not one song from 'The Same Old Blood Rush With A New Touch' album isn't fabulous. "I'm selfish as selfish comes, you're giving me a run for my money" and "shallow as a shower" and all of them... just so... wow. I wish I could do it too, I'd eat a dictionary if I thought it would help. "Drama doesn't follow me, it rides on my back. I may be ugly but they sure love to stare".

I'd love to be able to paint. That's a lie, I can paint. I just can't do it well. I'm afraid of paint, I can't just slap it on. But I'm always seeing painting in shop windows that are layered with the stuff. I love a bit of texture! Paint is wonderful, I wish I knew how to manipulate it without going too far.

God, I wish I could sing, too. I'd love a voice like William Beckett, he sounds so great. He's great with lyrics too but his voice... it's clear and just so there. Brian Molko, phwoar. I'd give absolutely anything to have something as unique as his voice. When he did those song with Timo Maas, they were eeeexcellent! I wish I could make music like Timo Maas, or play guitar like Newton Faulkner, be as blunt as Amanda Palmer.

I wish I was artistic.
