I love you so much that it hurts my head.
In honour of my first tattoo, my favourite song by the band that inspired it.
Last Brand New jam, because I'm off to see them today. This is from easily their finest album.

The process of degaussing is decreasing the strength of magnetic fields, or removing electric charge. The lyrics in the song seem to use this a metaphor for losing strength in traits related to identity and meaning such as love and hope. There also seems to be an oscillation between being good and bad, paralleled with the volume and intensity of certain parts of the song. Beautifully written.
Brand New on repeat for my essay-writing process. Surprisingly effective.
