As someone who felt this song in my soul as younger teen, realizing I was AuDHD made that make sense. It might also be a C-PTSD thing. The whole song, really- but the "keep it copacetic" "learn to accept it" hit hard when I think about how hard i mask and how I feel in the world- if i just go along with it, no one will be upset with me. And yet living that way makes you invisible. I am the person who can't accept not being accepted. And so i push MYSELF as far away as possible… What version of me do you need today? Does it matter what i need, or feel? As long as I keep playing along, it doesn't seem to matter. The moment I stop trying to play, trying to apologize to the world for sins i haven't even committed yet- then something's wrong with ME. I wouldn't trade my complicated, aching brain for anything. But it would be nice, to just BE. Other people can do that, somehow? I might observe this world until I am 90, and I still don't think I will ever understand why humanity makes the collective choices it does. I am tired of seeing something everyone else can see, they just pretend not to? What kind of sadistic game have we made of life? Maybe i was always bound for the floor. I am too exhausted dancing around what everyone else has decided matters. I want another way. I don't want to leave. I want to live as freely as I do in my head, in the world. Except somehow i am always TOO much, and yet NEVER enough. Maybe if i could somehow communicate what IS there, inside of me. Whatever ME actually is. I want people to be happy and safe, and i want everyone to have ENOUGH. I want people to stop hurting each other and realize we are all made of the same stuff, and we have different ideas about the WHY, but the physical reality of living and being human is something we all share, right? So why is it so hard to connect on that level? Why does it have to be some sick competition that NO ONE wins, because we all die and can't take material goods with us, so why spend EVERY WAKING MOMENT accruing things you don't ultimately need? If I don't WANT extra stuff, why do I have to trade my life and my peace and my own personal growth as a human just to have the things humans need to stay ALIVE? We can provide food shelter basic clothing for EVERYONE. And then let them decide what they want to do with the extra. Not everyone wants to chase something that isn't worth catching. I just wanna watch the sky change, and the river flow, and people live the lives they WANT to live- we are strangling ourselves with unnecessary complications. Being alive and human is hard enough. Why do we make everything harder than it needs to be? Oh, yeah, corporate profits. That's worth selling your soul for. Sorry. I need to get some sleep…
The album this song is on is the last CD I bought from a local music store before they went out of business. The irony of it being titled "As Good As Dead" may or may not have been lost on the person checking me out. I know I found it darkly humorous. Anyways, great song, solid album. Always happy to revisit this one.
Born to be down. Keep it copacetic cause no one cares how down you are just keep faking it till you fully break down then pick your self up the next day and drown it all out with alc

Shared struggles and overcoming them
Not caring about anything else
These dudes are lowkey 100 times more punk than anything else that was happening. They still are. Give it a few listens, one song has 1000 meanings
I’m just happy to be here

Local H, Veruca Salt, Smashing Pumpkins, Wilco. 90s bands from Chicago hit harder than Al Capone's bat.
