Where Did She Go

WHEREDID

This is another song about the girl's guardian angels being sad about not being able to communicate with her because the school fucked up her brain (see explanation below).

I think what happened to the girl in this song happens to many of us in the course of our lives. I remember bein' a kid and seein lots and lots of ghosts and bein' able to communicate with spirits sometimes. But all that stuff eventually faded away. I think lots of kids go through this; they start out being able to sense supernatural presences, but the grown ups keep on telling them it's not real. They tell them it's not real so many times that their brains eventually learn to tune out supernatural stuff.

It's too bad. We live in a culture that makes us dumb.

Weird where did she go
This is last week's song if you play it backwards.

The lyrics are:

Where did she go?

We cannot find her on the level it got bad

Ringing singing backwards it’s a thought we had not had

We’re the guardian angels and we miss her very much

Wishing we could see her but we’ve gotten out of touch

One day, I started writing a song about a fucked up school. Then, a few days later, that lawsuit came out, involving those pervy professors in the Dartmouth Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. I was all, oh, my stars!!! That’s where I got my Ph.D.! Then I finished writing the song about a week later. I thought it was just a song about how the school system fucks up kids, but after I finished writing and recording it, I realized parts of it were about my experiences in that poopy psych department (the unconscious mind works in mysterious ways). In any event, I decided to write an album about a fucked up school in order to process my experiences of having been in that department and how the culture there impacted me. This album ain’t necessarily about Dartmouth, per se. It’s more of a weird, inner exploration where I’m, like, having a fucked up dialogue with my unconscious about my experiences at Dartmouth. Jung used to call that kind of stuff “active imagination.” So far, this album follows the story of a girl, whose guardian angels try to protect her, but often can't find her.
