OK, now my iPod is really starting to fuck with me...

Last week, it was masturbation.

Today, back-to-back?

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
Pearl Jam - Life Wasted

Let's roll out some lyrics, shall we?

Crazy
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
probably

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice

Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably


Life Wasted
You're always saying that there's something wrong
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along
Death came around, forced to hear its song
And know tomorrow can't be depended on.

I seen the home inside your head
All locked doors and unmade beds.
Open sores unattended
Let me say just once that

I have faced it, a life wasted, I'm never going back again.
I escaped it, a life wasted,I'm never going back again.
Having tasted, a life wasted, I'm never going back again.

The world awaits just up the stairs
Leave the pain for someone else
Nothing back there for you to find
Or was it you, you left behind?

You're always saying you're too weak to be strong
You're harder on yourself than just about anyone.
Why swim the channel just to get this far?
Halfway there, why would you turn around?

Darkness comes in waves, tell me, why invite it to stay?
You're warm with negativity,
Yes, comfort is an energy,
But why let the sad song play?

I have faced it, a life wasted, I'm never going back again.
I escaped it, a life wasted, I'm never going back again.
Having tasted, a life wasted, I'm never going back again.
Oh I erased it, a life wasted, I'm never going back again.


Just what is the message here? You know, it's one thing for my iPod to tell me to masturbate more. But what now?
