“And when the ground sways beneath you, everything around you seems to be in motion. You try to hang on to something stable, but even that begins to move. You drown, you sink into the depths, overwhelmed by the trivia of everyday life: like being submerged beneath a mass of seaweed, slimy, viscous and with a taste that makes you sick. 

Yes, turn on the radio. Envelop me in legends, in glories of old, and in the worship of heroes. An entire nation’s drowning while the radio goes on spewing out songs of hope and fervour, freedom, rebirth, the happiness of man. ”

honestly i think this quote is enough of a review ❤️🖤🤍💚
