overthinking song lyrics
So there's a thing I think about when I hear the lyric "Well at least I author my own disaster".
"Disaster" comes from latin dis aster, "bad star". As in things were cosmically fated to go wrong.
But the lyric claims authorial control over that supposed fate. That's the point of the song, that we get ourselves into fucked up situations and sorta maybe learn from them, painfully.
It probably was wasn't deliberate, but I find that contrast of meanings compelling.
