The stories are not autobiographical, but they're personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I've learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal.

Surely it is time to examine into the meaning of words and the nature of things, and to arrive at simple facts, not received upon the dictum of learned authorities, but upon attentive personal observation of what is passing around us.

Too Personal
Youre to to to too personal
Youre to to to too personal
Well you keep talking about love -
Well what do you want
We have fun alright - so what do you want
The idea of fate its all in the mind
We are the ones who control our own time
Look dont get me wrong
But if you keep on Im gonna go
Youre to to to too personal
Youre to to to too personal
You say everyones lonely and insecure
All because of living in hate and fear
Well if love is possession baby you better change
No ones gonna keep me in those chains
Look dont get me wrong
But if you keep on Im gonna go
Forget your personal problems
Think about somebody else
Im gonna think about them - right now
Youre to to to too personal
Youre to to to too personal
Youre to to to too personal
Youre to to to too personal

Personal Attention
Personal attention
a gifted child leads
Personal attention
an average child needs
Personal attention

Personal attention
an autistic child deeds
Personal attention
a parent plants the seeds
Personal attention
is what every child needs
Thus..Personal attention
is what every teacher heeds

People do want to know the personal things. How far is too far to go with personal lives?
Personal
Its not personal
You didnt let me down at all
No, its not personal
Its how the world goes round, is all
Ive got some loving but it aint for sale
- give it free to you, my friend
Somewhere further down the trail
Il be pulling out again
Its not personal
Dont let it underneath your skin
No, its not personal
Im only breathing out and in
Im just moving on
Because the groove has gone
Im just stealing down the line
And its fine
Woke up this morning, I was all alone
Instead of her I found a note
I guess my bluebird just came home
For these are all the words she wrote...
Its not personal
You didnt let me down at all
No, its not personal
Its how the world goes round is all
Its how the world goes round

The film of tomorrow appears to me as even more personal than an individual and autobiographical novel, like a confession, or a diary.

I only know from my own personal experience, and I personally feel that there's a cyclical nature to things, so you don't want to start making generalizations about how bad things have become in comparison to the old days.

Bang Your Pans If You Wish
Bang your pans,
If you wish...
With empty cans,
If you wish...
And then demand,
If you wish...
To make your situation,
Like a personal damnation.
Bang your pans,
If you wish...
With empty cans,
If you wish...
And then demand,
If you wish...
To make your situation,
Like a personal damnation.
You're not the only one,
Who has loaded shoulders.
Today the young and older ones...
Have little to eat.
You're not the only one,
Whose shoulders are bent over.
Who needs to lay their head somewhere,
And get some sleep!
Bang your pans,
If you wish...
With empty cans,
If you wish...
And then demand,
If you wish...
To make your situation,
Like a personal damnation.
Bang your pans,
If you wish...
With empty cans,
If you wish...
And then demand,
If you wish...
To make your situation,
Like a personal damnation.
Don't give up your hope.
To swing from a rope.
Or choke up on tears,
Or fears to threaten.
Show more strength and cope.
And leave your mind open.
Don't shut it close!
Bang your pans,
If you wish...
With empty cans,
If you wish...
And then demand,
If you wish...
To make your situation,
Like a personal damnation.
Bang your pans,
If you wish...
With empty cans,
If you wish...
And then demand,
If you wish...
To make your situation,
Like a personal damnation.
Like a personal damnation.
Like a personal damnation.
Bang your pans,
If you wish...
To make your situation,
Like a personal damnation.
Like a personal damnation.
Like a personal damnation.
Bang your pans,
If you wish...
To make your situation,
Like a personal damnation.
Like a personal damnation.
Like a personal damnation.
Bang your pans,
If you wish!

I don't have a problem with someone using their talents to become successful, I just don't think the highest calling is success. Things like freedom and the expansion of knowledge are beyond success, beyond the personal. Personal success is not wrong, but it is limited in importance, and once you have enough of it it is a shame to keep striving for that, instead of for truth, beauty, or justice.

I Need Love
(kipner/parker)
Its nothing personal
In other circumstances
Another place, another time
I would take my chances
Oh, I know I could take you home tonight
But I dont want to wake up with you, wishing I was alone
Ah, dont rush, cause when the timings right, Ill know
I wanna be sure
I just cant play the game anymore
Im not looking for a band-aid on loneliness
Im not looking for a temporary get-me-through-the-night
Im holding out for something more than physical
I need love to make the sex right
Its nothing personal
In other circumstances
Another place, another time
And I might take my chances
I want you, and Im not hiding from the way I feel
Ive been trying to fill this empty heart with something not real
And I dont want to live like that anymore
In a world gone crazy, these days youve really got to be sure
So Im not looking for a band-aid on loneliness
Im not looking for a temporary get-me-through-the-night
Im holding out for something more than physical
I need love to make the sex right
Times are different than before
Good things are worth waiting for
Its nothing personal
In other circumstances
Another place, another time
No Im not looking for a band-aid on loneliness
Im not looking for a temporary get-me-through-the-night
Im holding out for something more than physical
I need love to make the sex right
I need love (its nothing personal)
Im not looking for a band-aid on loneliness
Im not looking for a temporary get-me-through-the-night
Im holding out for something more than physical
I need love to make it feel right
(its nothing personal)
Im not looking for a band-aid on loneliness
Im not looking for a temporary get-me-through-the-night
Im holding out for something more than physical
I need love to make the sex right

Addicted To You
I am addicted to you.
So what can I do?
but accept what has happened to me?
You're my personal drug
each time we hug
my body turns out to be
at peace once again and not so uptight,
no shaking, no headache in sight.
I am addicted to you.
The need in me grew
from the very first time that we kissed.
You're my personal high,
the reason why I
know that you are why I exist.
I know that all's well
and there's nothing to fear,
no frightful event will appear.
I don't need a drink,
I don't need a smoke.
These things I will never do.
My needs are not bad.
In fact I am glad
that I am addicted to you.
I

That music and the lyrical aspects of Razorblade Romance is so personal to me that, now with me being grown up a bit and meeting new people and doing new things, it makes me look at the same things I was writing about back in the day through a different colored lens.

So Hard To Make Things Out
Im going out to big plains
To see the spirits rise
Out tonight to watch them do their thing
If youre coming out with big plans
To find some paradise
Well, theres nothing here to do but limboing
And some went back
They couldnt face the black
And theyre going back today with their personal things
I couldnt go back
I didnt have the knack
So Ill be staying on with my personal things
Yeah, Ill be staying on with my personal things
Well they call this a life I live on the ninety-sixth floor
And they all it a life he lives thats they guy next door
Life on the mighty brick tiers
I tried on the ninety-sixth floor
Mighty brick tiers
Ninety-sixth floor
Something had to give
Why is it so hard to live? its just so hard to make things out
Why is it so hard to live? its just so hard to make things out
Why is it so hard to live? its just so hard to mkae things out
Why is it so hard to live?
Well I have a suggestion as you bark your querying
Well there aint no congestion on a dark hyperion
In the night night night night night
In the night night night night night
No congestion
Dark hyperion
Why why why why
Well Ill tell you my philosophy things mustve been grand
Way back in the old country in a younger land
Now I can hardly wait yeah
I can hardly wait to see them rise
Now I can hardly wait yeah for it to materialize
Now I can hardly wait yeah
I can hardly wait yeah
I can hardly wait to see them rise
Theyre so hard to make out
Theyre so hard to make out
