MP3: Idiot Kid - Go to sleep
Idiot Kid is best taken in measured doses as its far too easy to overdose on their dreary melancholia. There's no exaltation, no revelation; only darkness, loneliness and death. "I'm glad I didn't die before I met you" is as joyful as it gets. The rest of the dialog isn't so straightforward. It's most certainly a conversation, but it's hard to tell whether it's external or internal. For all I know, it could be all in his head. It's start out trying to be reassuring, but slowly gets angrier. The pushing away, the simmering resentments. Could it be a suicide note or is it an abject threat? Regardless, it sure is miserable, though in the best, most artful way possible.
