Also never felt anything at all when he goes "ima jack off all day won't you marry me" it's just not a thing to tell somebody you'd like to wed, gosh, keep it to yourself bill

"I wish I was blank"

Comes off as awkward and lazily written to me.

Talk about lazy... the opening line to "Muzzle" has always bothered me.

If you're ordinary, then you're the status quo. By definition you're just like everyone.

He attempts to be profound, but it's an epic fail as redundant statement is redundant.

I mean it could literally read: "I fear that I am ordinary; (I fear that I am) just like everyone." It's just placing emphasis on the same sentiment. Happens all the time in lyrics, literature, etc. Dummy.

I know it stings having flaws pointed out in things you hold dear, but there's no reason to sink to name calling.

I disagree. Repeating something twice isn't a sin. If it was "I fear that I am ordinary, just like everyone, the same as most other people, we're all the same" that would be different.

It's an excellent line; he's telling u the specific reason he fears he's ordinary: b/c he doesn't wanna be like everyone else

Muzzle is beyond reproach imo. I can't say I relate to the lyrics but they're a rare, direct insight into the mindset of that old, hungry, driven version of bill, fulla longing

I completely disagree. I find the lyric lazy and unfocused. But I'd better be careful as apparently pointing out flaws in the pre-2007 Pumpkin catalog is a guaranteed scorning.

First of all, jelly, not everyone is ordinary, so the very first premise of your "omfg so redundant" argument falls flat on its face

The lyric has pathos, jelly, pathos

Bill fear that he is ordinary just like everyone. Doesn't mean he is right to be afraid; doesn't mean he is right that everyone is ordinary. In fact I'd argue that he's wrong about that and that his fear might not be the healthiest, but like I said, the lyric is valuable as a rare insight into bill's mindset at that time. His fear of being ordinary is actually a fear that he will be forgotten, like most folks, lost to the by and by

The way have you ever heard the words I'm saying in this post

The lyric

I fear that I am ordinary, just like everyone else

is a direct attack against mediocrity. Bill feels that he is not ordinary, in fact he is extraordinary.
