Recognize it? Good song, right? As long as you don’t “take it internally” I’d say it’s safe. Here’s a bit more…

Shes walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you’ll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?
Hello, I love you
Wont you tell me your name?

Is this a Chodey Anthem or WHAT!?

This is NOT reality. This is NOT how to go about things, and songs like this are bad for mental health. Listening to songs like this can distort your reality to a point where you idealize the lyrics as the “be all, end all” of what a relationship is…

Jim Morrison knew better. Can’t understand why he would sing this stuff. If this is your frame of the world, best to quit it…cold turkey.

The person in this song is basically a sniveling beggar who’s putting this one girl on a pedestal. In reality, she’s not going to give this guy the time of day.

She wants someone she can RESPECT. She wants someone BETTER THAN HER.

I’m not entirely sure if the lyrics are 100% sincere, it’s almost as if he’s making fun of this behavior, and rightly so!

Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see, you fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?

The point here is to not focus on one, particular person as the key to your happiness based on how good she looks.

Focus on the many. Look at things in a new frame. Be more selective, and you’ll do better.

“Love is not the end of the world, love is the beginning of the world. Many people write about the subject of love as if that was some ultimate attainment to aspire to …you can have love but you can go beyond that, into realms that are even more interesting.”

-Frank Zappa
