The Flaming Lips - "Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell"

December 23, 2012
Album: Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell*

I'm alive! I'm done with finals, completed a week of break, and survived an apocalypse  so that's pretty exciting! I'm not really sure if I can count the past week as break, though, because I was working at the school where my mom works from 10-6:30 every day, but I am free now.  I am so happy to finally be done with this quarter of school because it was honestly my worst quarter yet. I have never felt so unmotivated, lost, or confused in my whole life. I think that I definitely went through metanoia and figured out a lot about myself, which is where this song comes in. I had always been fond of The Flaming Lips, but I had never really considered them to be one of my favorite bands or had a song that really resonated with me until I really listened to this song. One day, this song just clicked and I couldn't turn back haha. I will have another post on how I changed/what I realized, but for now, all I shall say is that if you are one of those people who are afraid to be vulnerable and take risks in your life (which, let's face it, is probably 90% of you), please start to take chances and live your life!


"I was waiting on a moment,
But the moment never came.
All the billion other moments,
Were just slipping all way.
I must have been tripping,
We're just slipping all away
Just ego tripping.

I was wanting you to love me,
But your love it never came.
All the other love around me,
Was just wasting all away"
