WOLF ALICE’S visions of a life sentence meme.
feel free to change pronouns / context as necessary.
i’m gonna celebrate you forever.
you taught us things we all should learn.
am i a bitch not to like you anymore?
punch me in my face, i wouldn’t even fight you no more.
you bore me to death.
no, i don’t give a shit.
i want to fuck all the people i meet.
i have a rage and it’s blinding.
is it exciting?
yeah, i have feelings. ’cause i’m a human.
i’m a totally self-destructing, constantly consuming human.
now i’m fucked.
now i’m fucked and that fucks you too!
you stick out so sorely, girl.
are you at your wits’ end?
well, i’ll tell you, they test my patience.
maybe we could be friends.
she’s beautifully unconventional.
did you ever analyse your dreams?
you know, nothing is what it seems.
you’re a walking contradiction.
i long to be with her forevermore.
i see the signs of a lifetime: it’s you ’til i die.
what if love’s not meant for me?
i’d like to get to know you.
i’d like to take you out.
when i see you, the whole world reduces to just that room.
i can’t, i’m too scared.
now, i’m, well, i’m a little bit drunk.
you’ve taken over my mind.
i wanna tell the whole world about you!
i think that that’s a sign.
i might as well write all over my notebook that you rock my world!
you’ve turned me upside down, and that’s okay. i’ll let it happen ’cause i like having you around.
you and me were meant to be in love.
it was never, ever gonna last long and it was only ever gonna go wrong.
i left my mind behind in 2015.
i only ever try to have fun.
did love pass me by when i had feelings i was scared of?
twenty-three years old and you’re acting like it’s over!
it’s only over if we crash. if we crash… imagine that…
turn this fucking thing around!
i’m sorry. i lost myself for a minute.
could i have a glass of water?
i could really use some help.
can you hear me?
i know it’s all an act. i can practically hear the pen planning.
i knew it was all an act.
i believe in love.
if you knew it was all an act then what are you crying for?
what did you think when you saw us?
i thought it’d be fun.
i believed in what he taught us.
i believed in love.
i hope my body gets better.
i hope my body gets better… do i mean my body or my mind?
i hate the word ‘forever’.
i hate the word ‘change’.
give me time. space and time.
take me out to the future just so i can look back into the past.
i hope that when i look back i will laugh.
i feel i’m losing control of my body.
i don’t want to come undone.
i am set to self-destruct.
who hurt you, sad boy?
there’s a dark cloud above your head.
you act like you’re already dead.
you think too much.
you probably drink too much.
here comes the night; your truest friend.
i was waiting for anything to happen.
were you waiting for love?
i was just waiting for this not to hurt.
one step after the other.
i’m a curse to my friends.
i’ve made mistakes that i won’t mend.
i dream of death, its violent breath.
i could bleach clean my soul but he knows.
where are you when i close my eyes?
i left this world behind for the world i’d built inside.
why do i feel so strange?
i follow the rules, do what it says on the tin, but i’m still on the outside looking in.
why do i hate all the people i meet?
peoples’ ideals give me the chills to the bone.
i’ve got one thousand-million friends and i feel so alone.
stay as you are.
everybody likes you. everybody cares.
i heard that journeys end in lovers meeting but my journey ends when my heart stops beating.
i’m leaving.

“ EVERYONE HAS TO have a passion, right ? i try to stay true to where i come from, fashion’s a part of that. ” mari would never forget her roots - zambesi or detroit. for zambesi, the totem she always wore was a CONSTANT reminder. and she always made sure to go back and help the kids there. she did her best as detroit’s resident hero.
“ what about you ? with having a passion, i mean. renaissance isn’t just the city - it’s the people. when you think of harlem, what catches your eye ? ”
an now she talkin all passion an shit, aight--- passion rife in the hood but they ain’t getting anything outta it. he know boys with three times the brains of any of them an all the work ethic, but they still gonna end up like everyone else in this town. money man, king of the world. ain’t a man round here who don’t have passion, ain’t a man round here who got somethin to show for it. “ sounds cool, ma. good on ya. ” he ain’t gonna take it from her now, is he? ain’t a man like that. “ me? i like burning stuff. ” raises his eyebrows, watch her question him, gonna get her nowhere. ain’t it the truth though? or something like it at least, he just out here doing what he do.
