Why does everyone sleep on this album?
It’s a damn masterpiece and the Middle Ages theme is just spectacular.
Banger after banger!

Edit: or it could be show rehearsal. But I'm hoping for the former.
He was mid-fifties. Young to be dying, some might say, but he had a lot of health problems. Disabled from a bad back. Heart, lung, liver problems. Showing early signs of dementia. All stuff I thought we'd deal with a bit at a time, until something finally took him.
Instead, he thought he was young again. He leaped into a bad accident trying to help someone, and his heart gave out in the process.
He's being called a hero. He's gonna get the biggest funeral our small town has ever seen. It's gonna be an absolute circus, and I'm the ringleader. What a fucking madhouse.
They won't know the man I knew. The man who disowned me twice in my life, once this very year. The one who struggled with addiction. The one with more financial problems than anyone could count. (And believe me, I'm handling the estate, I have to count them.) The man that chose his horrible, abusive girlfriend over me. Who turned down the love of family for the false hope of love from a woman who hated him.
Tomorrow, all I'll hear about is the hero he was. The veteran, the retired first responder, the man who jumped in trying to save another life. And I'll smile, and I'll thank people, and I'll do my best.
But inside I'm hurt. I'm so damn conflicted. I don't even remember what my last words to him were. We weren't really speaking. And this mess he's left me is so overwhelming. I'm exhausted.
But no. I've gotta have a strong appearance, and stand up, and be proud.
He was, after all, a hero. Right?
Boil boil trouble and toil
Bury Tomorrow are getting closer to performing again but this will be the first time performing without Jason. I honestly have no idea what to expect (Who will do the cleans, will they get a new singer, will Jason come back etc.) but I am still excited to see what they have planned.
Do you guys think they should try and fix their issues with Jason or carry on with this new chapter? Either way, I am hoping it works out for them!
Edit: u/FoamingAction went above and beyond to fulfill this request. My faith in humanity is a bit restored, a strange yet fantastic feeling. Good people do exist. The arrangement was well thought out and beautiful, they seemed to care about the display as much as they would a loved one -- I can't put in to words this beautiful act of kindness FoamingAction did.
She has no way to put flowers on his grave as we're in Alaska, any help would be appreciated. She said she's willing to pay for the gas and flowers.
Best Bury Tomorrow Album?
Trigger warning: depression, suicide
TL;DR - my interpretation is that the song is from the perspective of someone struggling with depression while their thoughts are tempting them to suicide.
I'm curious what other interpretations of this song people have. Given the theme of the album and some references to other songs I get this impression it features some lines from the perspective of someone struggling with depression, the other perspective being from the depression itself. Similar to in the song Imposter where negative thoughts/feelings are personified as "The Imposter."
With this interpretation there are some lines where our protagonist outlines their struggles, mostly in the first verse with lines like "I swear to god if I believed enough; I wish I could believe." The chorus also appears to be from the perspective of the protagonist, where their situation seems inescapable. While the second verse is from the perspective of the imposter where they begin to tempt our protagonist to suicide. This is hinted to in the last lines of the verse "No fear of what's to come; No stopping what's begun."
The pre-chorus seems to reference suicide as well "Oblivion calling, like the edge of the night; Our hands, our minds, the end's in sight." The perspective for this section may be from the protagonist or the imposter.
The bridge has the most interesting lyrics in my opinion, the use of plural pronouns leads me to believe they are from the perspective of the imposter. This contrasts the song Imposter, where singular pronouns are used, indicating that the protagonist wants to separate themselves and free themselves of the imposter, while the imposter is probably using plural pronouns to represent that they are bound together. At the beginning of the bridge we have "We've been standing on the edge for a long time now" indicating how long this mental health struggle has been going on and that suicide is being contemplated. "Holding our breath so tight, we hardly make a sound" is a reference to the song Better Below where in the second verse has the lines "Hide the warning signs swiftly as they start to show; Breathe in quick, hold your breath; Show the world the lie, that you're really not sick." This points to the idea that people who struggle with their mental health are often suffering in silence. The b

I live by myself in the house and I have no human support whatsoever. I only have you guys to count on. A little bit of context, my cat died last night because I couldn't get her to the vet. I failed her and I am feeling extremely guilty at this point.
I am not very comfortable with dead bodies in my house because electricity is out and it's getting darker. I have got to bury her as fast as possible because whenever I look at her face I get chills (she looks angry and sad at the same time)
I can't bury her now because it's raining very badly outside and digging a hole under the rain might cause me to slip. It would be suicidal for a guy with brittle bone disease such as myself.
Is there a human way for me to "dispose" of the corpse ? Preferably not very disgusting or dangerous way.
Also I am not sure if it will stop raining tomorrow.
TLDR; my cat died and i need to get rid of the corpse as fast as possible. How do i do that ?
Edit: thank you everyone for the nice words. I appreciate each and everyone of you. I have read every comment and replied to the best of my ability. Reading through your comments made me realize how important humans are in one's lifes. I love you all ♥️
I don't know what I really expect from posting this, but I think I just need to tell some random people what's been going on in my life recently.
My dad was very old and also very sick and his condition deteriorated rapidly so that it was clear to us that he was going to pass sooner than expected. Then, last Friday, after thinking he would still have some time, I finally got "the call" from my sister. I was not really in shock and it was also relieving to hear that he did not have to have any fear and that he was able to pass peacefully and not having to suffer anymore. Also all the support and kind words we've already received from other people, is just overwhelming and amazing. It is really calming to know how many lifes he had touched, too!! ❤❤
But there are also all these other feelings. I have feelings that it is unfair to be just 24 and having already lost my brother and now my father, that my siblings could have him longer around and - despite his high age - other people get to live longer. I just do not want to let him go! He was far from perfect, but he loved us, cared for us, made so many great memories with us, taught us so much and was just a great dad/person and I want him back! 😭 (how much I hate having to write about him in past tense..) I don't want him to be gone forever. The thought that he will never sit in the kitchen cracking walnuts again, makes me tear up immeadiately. I know he now doesn't have to suffer anymore and the day would have eventually come anyway, but wow, loosing a parent (even of old age under all these circumstances) is reeeeeally hard. 😢 There are also times where I really have troubles understanding that he will be gone now forever. Even on the day of his death, it was like I'd said goodbye to another old man and that he would eventually walk out of the living room to join us. I can't believe that MY DAD is actually gone, that we will bury HIM tomorrow and that he will never be there again when I come back home. Sorry for the long post...
