Reprise
Scroobius Pip Lyrics

This is my reprise
This is my song that summarizes everything I want to say

Round here James Dean reigns supreme and we don't give a *gasp* about your scene
In our community, we idolize James Dean and don't care about conforming to outside trends and norms

If I cannot find a scene then I'll just make one For every bridge that I repair I'll probably break one But I decided long ago to let things out and not implode So if you want to take a swing at me than take one
If there's no environment that fits me, I'll create one and embrace the risks even if they involve some destruction. I choose to express myself honestly rather than holding back, so I can handle criticism

This last little track is less for you and more for me A little exercise in expression and musical therapy See even if the glass is empty there's still residue inside And that can taste as sweet as the residue that did once reside
This song is more of a personal outlet and therapeutic experience for me than a message for anyone else. The things we leave behind still have value even when we're done with them

The two people I miss most in my life begin with J There's one that will probably think it's her but in all honesty it ain't One will know it's him wherever he is today And one will probably never know and I'll probably never say
I have two people I dearly miss in my life, both of whose names start with J. One might think they are the person I'm referring to, but that's not the case. One of them will recognize they are who I'm talking about, and another will never know for certain

You see sometimes emotion can feel just like a straight jacket But if you still got legs running up the race track it's ok Because every new emotion teaches something And make sure every muscle in your heart keeps pumping
Our emotions can feel constricting, but as long as we still have drive, it's alright. We learn from every new feeling, so it's important to keep our hearts active

I mean take love, the most marketable emotion we possess Finding love is at the end of every quest for happiness But I suggest that maybe if we look through all that mess We'll see the strength of the emotions that don't get such good press
Love is the emotion most widely advertised and sought after in our society. But it's worth considering that there are other feelings that are just as important, but don't get as much attention

For example anger, the thing that makes us fight But that's just the case if the anger isn't being harnessed right See anger just like love can cause a storm of motivation If channeled right and not just seeping through in aggravation
Anger typically leads to conflict, but only when not controlled and utilized properly. Like love, anger can be a powerful motivator if directed correctly instead of just causing chaos

So many works for art, and literature through out the ages Have stemmed from the dark hearts of those embracing their rages So then regret, I hate to say but it's a pointless one If there's one thing you can't change, it's the things you've done
Some of the most notable works of art and literature have arisen from people's darkest emotions, including anger. In contrast, regret is a futile emotion since we can't change our past mistakes

And the same goes for grief, in this life most things will come and go You've just got to keep on learning, and enjoy the show
Grief, like regret, is just part of the natural cycle of life where things inevitably end. Rather than dwelling on it, we should continue to learn and appreciate what we have while it lasts

As I finally walk away I say goodbye and good health As I finally walk away I wish you all you wish yourself
As I move on from this chapter of my life, I bid you a farewell with hopes that you have everything you desire

Round here James Dean reigns supreme and we don't give a *gasp* about your scene
In our community, we idolize James Dean and don't care about conforming to outside trends and norms

Round here, Round here, Round here, here, here, here, Round here, here here here...
Repeating the idea that James Dean is the ultimate figurehead of our community, and emphasizing our disregard for outsiders
