songs stick with me pretty easily. this one's about "a stone" by okkervil river.
so i figure, there are two "special?" types of guys: the heartbreakers, and the heartbroken. the heartbreakers are generally stones. smooth, but hard, nearly inpenetrable, strong, stoic, stony, basically. the heartbroken are different. this blog's mostly trying to define what they are. let's see, they're soft, sorta malleable (lead-on-able), emotional, easily broken or torn, but persistent...sponge? not quite.
hmm...maybe the heartbroken are like pillows. we're willing to sacrifice ourselves to break the fall of those we support, we serve the function of punching bags, projectiles, we're generally soft, we give comfort to a point, but its more constant and less appreciated than the safety a stone seems to give. i guess it makes sense when you think about it. pillows are nice and soft, but you can only make pillow forts, which aren't very protective. while stones can become castles, making you feel safe, and like a queen, and it seems just to protect you.
hmm, pillow still doesn't seem right. oh well, i'll give it more thought.
