My 170th post... =D

Anyways, check out the lyrics to Cancer by My Chemical Romance:


Turn away,
If you could get me a drink
Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you.

Now turn away,
'Cause I'm awful just to see
'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body,
Oh, my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know

That if you say (if you say)
Goodbye today (goodbye today)
I'd ask you to be true (cause I'd ask you to be true)

'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you

Let me just say that I disagree with practically everything in this song. It's like... even if you have cancer, who gives you the right to tell the people who care for you, the people who love you to 'turn away'?

Anyways, this song just reeks of negativeity. (sp?) Even if you have cancer in its final stage, and all hope seems to be lost, why be so negative? Even if your days are numbered, why not spend the rest of your days with a POSTIVE attitude, instead of languishing in despair and... just telling everyone who cares for you to 'turn away', jsut because you are 'awful just to see'? I'm sure that if you are really in such a situation, and you tell people to just go away, none of them will listen. They will still care for you, and LOVE you just the same.

I think that the usual response to this song would be something like this, "No, I will NEVER leave you." Someone told me that "You are NEVER alone", in response to my post on how screwed my family was. [nosarcasm]How very true.[/nosarcasm]
