Placebo - Plasticine

Artist: Placebo

Song: Plasticine

Album: Sleeping With Ghosts

Year: 2003

"Beauty lies inside the eye of another youthful dream that doesn't sell it's soul for self-esteem, that's not plasticine..."

"The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything, don't go and sell your soul for self-esteem, don't be plasticine..."

*A THOUGHT: Think of all the moments you knew you pretending to be something you were not or going against your flow, just because the situation/people made you feel "forced". Those moments when you feel you betrayed yourself even if it was just for a moment and how shitty it felt. Are you there yet? Well, if you learned out of those situations, kudos. If you didn't, you must feel shitty pretty often.

By the way, this is late and fake-date post.

Album: Without You I'm Nothing

"Time to pass you to the test, hanging on my lover's breath, always coming second best, pictures of my lover's chest, get through this night, there are no second chances, this time I might, to ask the sea for answers..."

*FAKE-DATE POST 8: A short and unilateral truce was reached. Suddenly another battle was beginning elsewhere. This time old ghosts began to arise, a quick glimpse of her meant a whole day lost into her.

Placebo - Burger Queen

Artist: Placebo

Song: Burger Queen

Album: Without You I'm Nothing

Year: 1998

"Slightly bemused by his lack of direction, hey you, hey you... Came to this world by cesarean section, hey you, hey you, chooses his clothes to match his pallid complexion, hey you, hey you, now it takes him all day just to get an erection..."

*A QUICKIE: I know this song has a whole different meaning and stuff, but the title reminds me of a term I really really wanted to address, THE FAT RABBIT...

Placebo - Commercial for Levi

Artist: Placebo

Song: Commercial for Levi

Album: Black Market Music

Year: 2000

"You're the one who's always choking Trojan, you're the one who's always bruised and broken, drunk on immorality, Valium and cherry wine, coke and ecstasy, you're gonna blow your mind..."

"I understand the fascination, I've even been there once or twice or more, but if you don't change your situation then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die..."

*A COMMENT: This is one of my favorite Placebo's songs, if not the most... Supposedly it is a reference to a technician named Levi Tecofski, who saved Brian Molko's life when he was drunk in the street and was about to be run over by a vehicle. 

What can I make of the lyrics? Well, apparently is  about this guy who is destroying his life with drugs and all this dangerous fetishes, bad choices all over, but someone, a friend, does care about him and he's lecturing/warning him and asking him to change. But what does it have to do with Levi? I don't quite know, who knows if Levi asked Brian to stop, or maybe he just named it this way out of gratitude... So what I make of it is that perhaps it could be Brian singing it to himself, his destructive lifestyle led him to some crazy situations and then this guy comes and saves him and maybe that was a wake up call... I don't know, but I do know that I love the lyrics and the music...
