Ok so basically I chose a song that pretty much gives itself away once you hear the title of it. The song is called Psycho by Puddle of Mudd, the song is filled with symbols that relate to the theme of this course, the main word used in this song is what I believe what makes this song somewhat link itself to the theme of this course. Additionally that word is Schizophrenic which by its definition is someone who has Schizophrenia. “Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses, and to behave normally in social situations”. Now someone with a mental disorder like that can create a fantasy/ dream world like no other, and with that said, that’s simply powerful enough to bend your own reality. Now with the course theme being about the Supernatural. (Quick definition of the supernatural is “Departing from what is usual or normal especially so as to appear to transcend the laws of nature”.) Now having schizophrenia defiantly starts departing you from what is usual or normal, or at least it lets you believe everything is normal, sort of making the unreal seem real. If you watch the video of this song it translates very well with the theme of this course, it shows how far this one guy can go with having schizophrenia, having situation where is attacked by famous horror figures . what catches my attention is that nearly at the end of this song you hear him say “Maybe You’re the One” making it seem as if, it’s not him with schizophrenia, then has to be you with schizophrenia trying to making you believe everything that you just saw is what really happened in the kind of way of trying to confuse you on what is a real and unreal experience departing you from what is usual. The video has a somewhat pretty funny parody of the movie “I Know What You Did Last Summer” if you care to watch, the video is below with lyrics right under it.
Lyrics:
"Psycho"
[Said twice]
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the schizophrenic psycho (yeah)
[Verse 1]
She lays down on the fresh lawn
She can make everything magical
But she tied one on big time
And it makes me wanna rewind
To back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off at any minute
And you know we're gonna win again (yeah) [x3]
[Chorus:]
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the schizophrenic psycho (yeah)
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the paranoid Flake-oh
[Verse 2]
She lays down on the sidewalk
Never very analytical
She is something simply beautiful
Re-appear when you feel magical
To back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off at any minute
Yeah you know we're gonna win again
[Chorus]
You're the one, you're the one who is the schizophrenic psycho [3x]
Back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off at any minute
And you know we're gonna win again
[Chorus]
You're the one, you're the one who is the schizophrenic psycho!
This song is sort of self explanatory.
ReplyDeletelike, their hopes were so high then but suddenly whatever the downfall was, turned one of them or both into a schizophrenic psycho.
The lyrics change from "you're the one" to "I'm the one" so maybe the guy is in denial.
I don't think I need to touch upon the heavy influence Nirvana seems to play on this song, it's pretty obvious.Good song overall.
i found this interesting because i have a weird fascination with schizophrenia and the effects it has on the person. I always see this mental disorder in a lot of movies about killers and crazy people, and it may be weird but i like it.
