about
Winter is a dangerous season for the hedgehog. Food becomes scarce, and the small, spiky mammal must find a safe place to hibernate. The array of defensive quills on the hedgehog's back are quite good at deterring would be predators, but are ill suited for providing insulation against the bitter winter air. Herein lies the Dilemma: in order to survive the cold, the hedgehogs must huddle together for warmth in their burrows. However, if the hedgehogs get too close, their quills will prick each other. In order to survive, they must be willing to possibly be hurt and hurt others. Is it worth it in the end to risk that much pain, or would it be better to die alone in the cold? I don't want to die alone in the cold. I think the risk of getting hurt and maybe hurting others is worth it.
FAQs:
EVANGELION REFERENCE?
Yes, I learned this from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Yes, I took inspiration from the title cards of Neon Genesis Evangelion when designing the cover art.
Yes, I still like Neon Genesis Evangelion as a thirty-one years old.
ARE YOU GOOD, DUDE?
I mean, no? Kinda? Mentally, I'd describe myself as "ill," though not in the Beastie Boys sense. I have good days, I have bad days, I have worse days. This week is pretty okay. I don't know how it goes from here, but right now I can say I want to be alive to see how it turns out.
lyrics
I would give everything
To be disemboweled by
Raptors and birds of prey
Under the starry sky
I would give everything
For a fleeting moment of time,
That I could give sustenance
To something greater than I
I'd set myself on fire if I could keep you warm
I don't think I wanna die anymore
Goddamnit, I wish this was just something seasonal,
That a change in my diet or weather could make it feel
Less like someone has a gun to my head,
In their free hand, a coin toss,
so call it, my friend
I can't understand how some people can go several days in a row
Without wanting to sever
Their carotid, femoral, or aortal artery,
Turn their anatomy into an artistry
I'd set myself on fire if I could keep you warm
I don't think I wanna die anymore
I'd set myself on fire if I could keep you warm
I don't think I wanna die anymore
(I would trade all the kingdom of Avalon or a night with the Great Whore of Babylon,
I would learn how to pray to your favorite God, I would tear down the heavens, if that's what you want.)
(I would walk face-first into a spider web, I would one by one pluck every hair from my head,
I would drink human blood from your favorite mug, I would kill anyone, I could kill everyone.)
I woke up in pain again
My long cursed skeleton
The ache in my abdomen
From the words that I should've said
I count out my reasons for wanting to die
There's always one more for why I should survive
Fifty-one against just Forty-nine
Looks like tonight, I'm alive
I would trade all the kingdom of Avalon or a night with the Great Whore of Babylon
I would learn how to pray to your favorite God, I would tear down the heavens, if that's what you want
I would walk face-first into a spider web, I would one by one pluck every hair from my head
I would drink human blood from your favorite mug, I would kill anyone, I could kill everyone
I'd set myself on fire if I could keep you warm
I don't think I wanna die anymore
I'd set myself on fire if I could keep you warm
I don't think I wanna die
(I would trade all the kingdom of Avalon or a night with the Great Whore of Babylon
I would learn how to pray to your favorite God, I would tear down the heavens, if that's what you want)
(I would walk face first into a spider web, I would one by one pluck every hair from my head
I would drink human blood from your favorite mug, I would kill anyone, I could kill everyone)
