I finally escaped yesterday; a friend and I got the train into Liverpool. It was a good distraction.
My friend bought William Control's new album Hate Culture and we sat reading the booklet on the train journey back. To say that the lyrics are depressing would be a severe understatement. Reading it definitely did not put me in a good state of mind; it took away the whole purpose of the day to be honest. Thinking that listening to it would only put me in a bad mood, I decided I'd wait a little while before listening to it and so we said that we'd listen to it during lunch next week when we're back in school and I will have something to take my mind off of things.
Of course, making something off limits makes it all the more tempting to do it - or in this case listen to it. I caved; only after watching the William Control Kerrang!Podcast on youtube from which I gained a new understanding of the album. With this new understanding (actually it isn't so much an understanding as it is further insight); with my newly aquired insight I set off on the mission that could potentially - though I know somehow that it won't - send me back into the state I was in only a few days ago.
I guess that we'll see.
When, the mission is complete, which I think may take some time, I will write some more but until then I may be a little quiet.
Happy Halloween for tomorrow,
xoxo
