I&#8217;m not at that point yet where I can &#8220;move on from this&#8221;, yet.<\/p>\n<p>I had a looooooong talk with Cady, last night.  It was a bit brutal.  Jeebus, I&#8217;m angry.  I mean&#8230; it&#8217;s not her fault, I know, but I don&#8217;t know who to talk to, and it just kind of came spilling out in a gush of screaming, defensiveness and tears.  I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I parsed through a lot of her lyrics.  Tell me- was there creepy foreshadowing of her death in <em>Better than Better Could Ever Be<\/em>?  See, it&#8217;s stuff like this that makes me think &#8220;suicide&#8221;.  Read:<\/p>\n<p><em>And there&#8217;s so many fish in the sea.<br \/>\nBut we could float if that&#8217;s what you want.<br \/>\n&#8216;Cause baby, you seem too good to me.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t want to know what life would be.<\/p>\n<p>If you ever wanted to go&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Cause they&#8217;re throwing us lemons, and we&#8217;re squeezing them into our cups.<br \/>\nWoah oh, and drinking it up!<br \/>\nBoy, you&#8217;ve got just what I want<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not going a place without your heart&#8230; (woah oh)<br \/>\nAnd girl you&#8217;re my sun shiny day.<br \/>\nYou&#8217;d take my life away!<\/p>\n<p>If you ever wanted to go&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re two peas in a pod.<br \/>\nBut we can break out, if that&#8217;s what you want.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s too many stars in the sky.<br \/>\nBut they can&#8217;t shine as bright like can you shine!<br \/>\nAnd I hope that you&#8217;ll never leave.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Cause they&#8217;re throwing us lemons, and we&#8217;re squeezing them into our cups.<br \/>\nWoah oh, and drinking it up!<br \/>\nBoy, you&#8217;ve got just what I want.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not going a place without you&#8217;re heart&#8230; (woah oh)<br \/>\nAnd girl you&#8217;re my sun shiny day.<br \/>\nYou&#8217;d take my life away!<\/p>\n<p>If you ever wanted to go&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re the match to my candle.<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re the scrape to my knee.<br \/>\nAnd you&#8217;re what makes it better!<br \/>\nThan better could ever be.<br \/>\nThan better could ever be.<\/p>\n<p>Boy you&#8217;ve got just what I want.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not going a place without you&#8217;re heart&#8230;(woah oh)<br \/>\nAnd girl you&#8217;re my sun shiny day.<br \/>\nYou&#8217;d take my life away!<\/p>\n<p>If you ever wanted to go.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ok, so, this song is about&#8230; what, exactly?  Dying, it looks like.  Dying, if she or her collaborator on this was ever left alone.  Maybe about dying of ethyl alcohol poisoning.  I&#8217;m not a drinker, but Google tells me that people often prepare ethyl alcohol with lemons.  She&#8217;d &#8220;squeeze them into her cups&#8221;, &#8220;drink them up&#8221;, which would &#8220;take her life away&#8221;?  Am I reading this wrong, or looking too much into this?  Because like&#8230; it just really seems as though it&#8217;s about her dying ten years later.  Is this&#8230; wrong?  Because I hope it is.  Note that I&#8217;m not a drinker, like at all.<\/p>\n<p>God, what a maze.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of google and incomprehension, I spent a good part of this morning trying in vain to get an accurate picture of what happened to Cady&#8217;s siblings from google.  Christ, it&#8217;s just impossible.  The source I used stated plainly two deaths, one sister and one brother, spaced years apart.  Wikipedia, which most people on reddit seem to think is wrong, seems to state two brothers, the same year, of indeterminate causes.  But, upon checking it myself, this isn&#8217;t what it says, at all.  *scratches head*  Perhaps it was recently changed.  Another source online claims two brothers, spaced apart by 7 years, both of drug overdoses.  A group on reddit seems to think it was drugs that killed one older brother, and murder that robbed us of another, and that the deaths happened one or two years apart.<\/p>\n<p>What I think is that the source I used got confused with Cady&#8217;s brother &#8220;Kelly&#8221; and misreported him as a her.  I mean, without knowing apparently that his youtube channel is still up, and you can plainly see that Kelly was a &#8220;he&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; what the fuck happened?  I have no idea.  I quite clearly remember drugs for both, tho.  Murder was not talked about by anyone I knew at the time, way back then.  Regardless, this doesn&#8217;t change anything, whatever the story there is.<\/p>\n<p>The point is that&#8230; well&#8230; the point is that 1) This sucks, and 2) This should not have happened, and 3) Cady was right- in repeatedly pointing out to me that there was a lot I didn&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>I guess, I don&#8217;t know.

Alright.  About this&#8230; This is one of my favorite songs of hers.  The usual superlatives apply to her singing and composition of course.
