Straight Thin Line Lyrics
if I was a straight thin line
longed I for the curves and the rhythm
envied I the flesh
if I let go of mine
if I became a straight thin line
hunger is a must
If I'd be satisfied
I'd lose my lust for life
Ultimately undefined
move beyond the straight thin line
I wanted most of all it was to
straighten out my bends and my curls
how to escape my shape
Become vibration
I'll outthink my flesh
the key to all my work
is in none of it
but in the absence
A very beautiful song that seems to deal with issues of eating disorders, Anorexia nervosa and others... Or maybe they don´t have to be food related, I mean, it could be a control freak talking, trying to get rid of everything bent and curly, letting the mind win over the body.
I'll outthink my flesh the key to all my work is in none of it but in the absence
i love this line, but i don't really understand what she means. any ideas? the fact that the significance of what she has accomplished in life lies in what she has not yet accomplished...? maybe?
It's about a minimalist painter, Agnes Martin who painted straight thin lines of colour. Her philosophy was that art is devoid of concepts and only exists as a purely emotional medium, she had to empty her mind, and paint with her back to the world.
