Disclaimer: Our friend Dib doesn't belong to me, but instead, to Jhonen Vasquez (THE MAN IS A GENIUS!). The song is "Unwell" by Matchbox 20. This little piece basically is Dib reflecting on his history of "craziness" and what he thinks about it. Please do enjoy! (And send stuff with your reviews:B )
All day
Staring at the ceiling making
Friends with Shadows on my wall…
They tell me my head's big…and that everything in there doesn't make any sense. I've visited my own mind…I've visited the creatures in my imagination, which I must say, weren't the friendliest or prettiest of folks. I've heard of extra terrestrial races friendlier then them…but none of it matters. I'm always standing in my own shadow…all alone.
All night
I'm hearing voices tell me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good
For somethingNow that I think about it…I truly am the only person in touch with the outside world…everyone else is in their own little safety shell…as if pretending things don't exist will make them go away. I can't simply listen to all the uneducated people, can I?
Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm heading for a
Breakdown
I don't know whySometimes, I think that I should just give up…maybe just let nature take it's course…but then who would protect the Earth from evil like that Irken, Zim? Nobody, that's who…would I simply sacrifice the Earth for some closure? I don't know anymore…
I'm not crazy, I'm just alittle unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
They may say I'm insane…but I'm not, and I know it. I've seen things that people only dream about…I've been through hell to try and prove myself, but every time I get close, something goes wrong…that seems to be the story of my life…nobody gets to know me well enough to see my true personality…to them, I'm just crazy ol' Dib…
I'm not crazy, I'm just alittle impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough, you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be.
I remember that time Zim tried to destroy me with the rubber pigs…those were undoubtedly the worst days of my life…nobody cared about how my life was slowly slipping away into death. They all ignored my warnings of Zim and how I was dying…right in front of them…I knew that once I was dead…they'd all miss me and regret that they didn't listen…well, at least my dad did…
See me
Talking to myself in public
And dodging glances on the train
I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me
It's a bad habit of mine…to just start talking without thinking how stupid I sound…like that time Zim took Mars for a joyride. I was talking to myself about that for a while…and when I went to tell someone…it came out as a big jumble that simply sounded…stupid. I got a lot of stares that day and it does make think that maybe there might be something wrong with me.
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind
Talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
They'll be taking me awayGaz and dad say that I talk in my sleep about Zim a lot…and I know the day is coming…that I'll be taken away permenantly simply because I see things others don't…even my own family thinks I'm crazy…I won't last much longer, I know, and then, I truly will be crazy…
How I used to be…
I'm just alittle unwell…
How I used to be…A/N: WOW, that was hard to write! I must say, looking into the mind of Dib is not an easy thing…however, I simply HAD to write it…the song fits so perfectly with him and has recently become one of my favorites. Maybe if you guys review enough, I'll do one for Zim, Gir, and Gaz. :D
