Sonic Youth

Did you get your disconnection notice?

Mine came in the mail today . . .

It simply states "You're disconnected, baby"

See how easily it all slips away?

From "Disconnection Notice," which is on their 2002 album, Murray Street.

"See how easily it all slips away?" may be the truest line quoted on 2 or 3 lines a day.  (Since it is 100% true, it has to at least be tied for first -- right?)

Sonic Youth

I just want you to know

That we can still be friends

(Uh-oh . . . the dreaded "we can still be friends" kiss-off line.  From their 1990 song, "Kool Thing," which featured a guest appearance by Public Enemy's Chuck D.  That same year, Public Enemy released Fear of a Black Planet, which is generally considered to be one of the greatest rap albums of all time.)

Sonic Youth

I feel like I'm disappearing

Getting smaller every day

But I look in the mirror

I'm bigger in every way

(From the 1990 Sonic Youth song, "Tunic," which imagines the late Karen Carpenter speaking to her mother from heaven.  Karen Carpenter died on February 4, 1983 -- a month before her 33rd birthday -- of heart failure triggered by chemical imbalances associated with her chronic anorexia nervosa.)
