Well, I recognised my own reflexive responses to the offer of sugary beverages and was pleasantly surprised.

kids like a puppet show, puppies not so much. puppets provide the illusion of control. control is quite illusory
I'm going to try donnie darko directors cut later but I don't believe in time travel as such, maybe the movie will change my mind.

I figured out 'Tan Gents' may correspond with Dark-0, but "How long?" has me stumped.

Overall;
Anything that should go wrong won't, and anything that can go wrong will.
I don't worry about things I can't control, so there's a lot not to be worried about.
While there's a lot I can't control about the potential actions of the world around me, I do have influence on my own trajectory, and enough confidence to believe I can maintain it, or at least to uphold Yhprum's law.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yhprum%27s_law
"A more specific formulation of the law by Richard Zeckhauser, a professor of political economy at Harvard University, states: "Sometimes systems that should not work, work nevertheless." "
originally my program had 1000 bugs in it and I was astonished how well it worked. I was ready go out in the garden and eat worms, but that it worked when it should not have gave me a lot of encouragement to continue.

I don't have any regrets about the 5 year relationship I was in that I ended a few months ago.
She said the same, and I think it ended amicably as we recognised our growing independence and that if we weren't able to communicate after 5 years, when were we going to be able to.
I can still say that she is a great person and I have respect for her. I recognise that we've grown apart though.
The steps of this thread have been a reflective part of my personal and interpersonal communication and overall self development.
Quote:
These lyrics seem to be conveying a sense of regret and longing for a past relationship or connection. The repetition of "it's been awhile" suggests that it has been a long time since the narrator has felt certain things or been able to do certain things.
The line "And everything I can't remember" implies that there are gaps in the narrator's memory, possibly due to substance abuse or other unhealthy coping mechanisms. The consequences of these behaviors are acknowledged, but the narrator still feels trapped by them, as evidenced by the line "I've stretched myself beyond my means."
The chorus seems to suggest that the narrator is aware of the mistakes they have made, but is unable to escape the cycle of self-destruction. The bridge adds a sense of desperation, as the narrator wishes for a way to escape their pain and just have one peaceful day.
The third verse adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, as the narrator acknowledges their own role in the downfall of the relationship and expresses regret for their actions. The final chorus suggests that the narrator is taking responsibility for their own actions and not blaming others, such as their father, for their problems.
Overall, these lyrics explore themes of regret, addiction, and the difficulty of breaking free from destructive patterns. The repeated refrain of "it's been awhile" creates a sense of distance from the past and a desire to move forward, but the narrator is still struggling to do so.
The last time I saw her and the last thing I said to her was, "I'm sorry", while engaged in a sombre hug.
