Parasocial Relationships

from Dark Skies by Mattie Konig

/

lyrics

Do you remember the guy laughing mirthly while sat by an ice cream ad
Captioned on some sites with “listening to podcasts like”

You may have smirked but I fear that its message has been missed out or ignored
Being that people will make friends with people who’ll never befriend them back

Do you find comfort in bonding with fiction because it can’t bond with you
That bond’s to be kept in check at every juncture

You may think you’re safe but this can pervade even the most rational of minds
And I don’t have that so I’ve let it burrow deep

Man I’m so stressed by parasocial relationships
You have no idea

Homo habilis never signed up for this rubbish
And he can’t sign down

Where is this taking us
When is this going to stop
Your guess

Unreal
Unreal
Un-

Even the normies can find themselves blighted by this wretched malady
It’s not exclusive to internet gremlins like you’d find on DeviantArt

VIP passes for three hundred dollars or single word IAmAs
All part and parcel of this frightening aspect of multimedia’s grip


WONT LET YOU DOWN
WONT LET YOU DOWN
YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO GOOD
WONT LET YOU DOWN
WONT LET YOU DOWN
WONT LET YOU DOWN
WONT LET YOU DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN -

Won’t let you down as long as I am fed my sacrifice
Won’t let you down if I recieve my victual virgin blood
Hecatomb
Hekapoo
Bonnibel
Boniface
In the air
Of the night
You will not let me down


Through a little gash
A lash in the sash
Man’s honest poetry words its worth

Nobody is breathtaking nobody’s God
The talkshow Jimmies are not your friends

Through a little twink
A rink in the sink
The Pupkin prickheads make good gourd ground

Dedotated WAM and rebel raccoons
Her Lisztlessness will topple empires


But sometimes a kindness can go both ways
Like when I met Gazelle Twin after her Bristol show at the bar
The pagan mask was gone before my sweaty nerves
And we just talked a bit and I’m grateful for that if that’s not weird

And if I never meet the figures that helped make me
That’s alright
They’re normal people
They’ve got friends of their own

And if I never meet the muses that help shape me
That’s okay
No obligation
They’ve got lives of their own


laugh along with ashens but you’re not really there.
laugh along with ashens but you’re not really there.
