lirik lagu akira the don & david foster wallace - having to be alone
you live in the same
atmosphere i do
yeah, i think it’s really a problem
of course and
in germany, we have this
tv literary expert
he always wants
what he doesn’t want
a book to be is boring
by no means boring
i think that’s really a mistake
and i feel sometimes
i also have this feeling
that i don’t want to be bored
on the other side i see that
it’s not the option
it’s not right
i somehow…
i somehow have this feeling
even though it sounds stupid…
no, it’s…
i mean
there’s a difference though
i think between being mildly bored
but then there’s another kind of boredom
i think you’re talking about which is
reading requires sitting alone
by yourself in a quiet room
and i have friends
intelligent friends
who don’t like to read because they get
it’s not just bored
there’s an almost dread
that comes up
here
about having to be alone
and then having to be quiet
having to be
having to be alone
having to be
having to be alone
when you walk into most public sp~ces
in america
it isn’t quiet anymore
they pipe music through
and the music’s easy to make fun of
’cause it’s usually really horrible music
but it seems significant
that we don’t want things
to be quiet ever
anymore
and to me
i don’t know that i could defend it
but that seems to me
to have something to do with
when you feel like
the purpose of your life
is to gratify
yourself
and get things for yourself
and go all the time
there’s this other part of you
that’s the same part that can kind of
is almost hungry for silence and quiet
and
thinking really hard
about the same thing
for maybe half an hour
instead of 30 seconds
that doesn’t get fed
at all
it makes itself felt
in the body
in a kind of dread
in here
i don’t know
whether that makes
a whole lot of sense
but i think it’s true
that here in the us
every year the culture
gets more and more hostile
and i don’t mean hostile like angry
just
it becomes more and more difficult
to ask people to read
or to look
at a piece of art
for an hour
or to listen
to listen to a piece of music
that’s complicated
and that takes work to understand
because
well, there are a lot of reasons
but
particularly now
in computer and internet culture
everything is so fast
and the faster things go
the more we feed that part of ourselves
but don’t feed
the part of ourselves that likes
that likes quiet
that can live in quiet
you know
that can live
without any kind of stimulation
without any kind of stimulation
having to be
having to be alone
having to be
having to be alone
having to be
having to be alone
having to be
having to be alone
it’s an american idiom
going to h~ll in a hand basket
things are getting worse and worse
and worse
and when we’re saying it
are we just saying
exactly what
people our age said 100 years ago?
there’s no way ever to know
how different we are
things seem different
yeah, you never get assistance
to yourself
to really know
you’re right
or it’s just a cliche
you’re following
so, um, hmm
now i don’t know
what i wanted to ask anymore
