Was it ironic, or insightful, that they played "Human Child" with the lyrics:
We're oh so faithfully possessed
We let ourselves be owned by things long gone
Old photographs, old songs
Wrap us in ghosts
...
I'm not here to save you I'm just tryna get you outside
We're oh so faithfully possessed
We let ourselves be owned by things long gone
Old photographs, old songs
Wrap us in ghosts
...
I'm not here to save you I'm just tryna get you outside

When I was scanning my feed, I thought that PHYSICISTS had told her she would pass the bar exam, and I just kept scrolling.

To fully appreciate how perfect this post was, I had to look up the lyrics to Insane Clown Posse's song "Miracles":
"Fucking magnets, how do they work?
And I don't wanna talk to a scientist
Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed"
THIS IS PRESIDENTIAL NOW.

"Suffer the Fools," off Belly's 2018 album Dove, came after a long hiatus. It's a melancholy song about fiercely and defiantly holding on to the (semi-shitty, semi-sweet) past instead of moving on. Maybe it's meta. It also feels so damn real.
