Content warning for this one cause there is some heavy stuff in these songs (mentions of abuse, s/a, drugs, eating disorders, suicide) Sick desires (2014) is the sophomore album by musician Ripp Grunt of Vandermorgan. It was conceived after a long hiatus, with Ripp eluding the general public amongst several controversies and health concerns. Like Road to Fucking Nowhere, it is a concept album and follows the story of a troubled young man as he succumbs to abuse, drugs, fame and his eventual death at the hands of it. Ripp drew inspiration from his own life growing up in a military household with a controlling father, as well as his mental and physical health struggles. Sick desires was a far cry from its predecessor with its gothic and heavy guitar sounds, sense of melancholia and being incredibly dark thematically. Suicide, the dark side of fame, addiction and generational and familial trauma are prominent themes. The album was met with a lot of praise for its unique sound and concept. A deluxe of the album was released in late 2014. The track Heavy metal all the time was only released in Japan, being replaced by a cover of Nirvana's "Pennyroyal tea" elsewhere. Ripp is a character from the sims 2 and I was so passionate about his fictional music career, fleshed out songs and albums came from it. This is the third set of songs in the series! I consider it some sort of poetry lol. Lana Del Rey was a great inspiration, for this one specifically the album Ultraviolence.

Sometimes when I say "I'm okay", I want someone to look me in the eyes, hug me tight and say, "I know you're not". I have felt like this many times in my life; as a kid, teenager and as an adult. I have seen many things in my life and felt even more things that has been horribly depressing... But I got up. I stood up to walk on for another day. I dealt with my emotional amnesia the only way I knew I could and that was by writing it out into poetry. I wanted to forget my pain and forget what I was going through. I needed that cut of the blade or a pill to drink to take everything away. My poetry became both my pill and my blade... Now I share the most intimate part of myself with the world. The part of me I kept hidden in the closet. The part I never thought I would ever present to the world. Now is the time I have to stop having amnesia about my emotions. It is time to learn, to better myself and to stand up and remember the things that I shut out like a voluntary amnesia all these years. Those who are offended after reading this - f**k you! If you are sad with me and willing to cut your wrist - I know how you feel! If you just enjoy the words - I love you! #679 in Poetry on 17/03/2018 #779 in Poetry on 18/03/2018 #807 in Poetry on 19/03/2018 #474 in Poetry on 22/03/2018
