I remember in the popular movie Forrest Gump,
Tom Hanks and Jenny say ‘make me a bird, so I can fly far, far away’
as Jenny tries to escape from her father’s physical and sexual abuse
Eventually she ‘becomes a slut’ when she grows up
and in a way she sort of became a bird
and flew far, far away from ‘innocence’ [via dying of AIDS]
Sometimes I feel like there’s just 2 much happening in this world
Like I am overwhelmed by every little thing
piling on top of itself
So much stress, so much 2 worry abt
Just want to be a lite lil alt
and float away while holding some balloons
and have the balloons represent some sort of ‘guiding force’
or maybe something that helps me 2 ‘escape’
sort of like drugs
or possibly a scholarship to a regional Art Institute
I remember Modest Mouse wrote a song
that promise us that we’ll ‘all float on’
and it was the most meaningful indie song of the year
inspiring mainstreamers every where 2 ‘chill’
Sort of just want to float on…
want to float away from suburbia
and land in an urban environment
want to float away from my parents
and land in an apartment that is $1500/month
want to float away from my job at a local ice cream parlor
and start a career where I have opinions on cool/modern/relevant shit
I know that I can escape from the status quo of my life
but I do not want 2 work hard 2 get there
Even though I feel like I am entitled to a better life
I wish it would just fall in my lap
Wish life could be easier
Wish life could be chiller
Wish my life could be everything that I think I deserve
Make me a lil entry-level alt girl
so I can fly
far, far away.
All we are
are alts in the wind…

Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please

The Milky Way or even Mars
Where they could just be ours
Let’s fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
We’ll be a one
Just for a little fun
