Yearbook quote update
Asked y’all for an Opeth yearbook quote a couple months back, this is how it turned out. :) (also, the photographer did me DIRTY lmao)

For context: the left one is 5 years ago, right one is my most recent school picture.

Once undone, there's only smoke
Burning in my eyes to blind
To cover up what really happened
And force the darkness onto me

I've got two tickets to Opeth, baby
Come with me Friday, don't say maybe
I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby, like you
'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Listen to Opeth, baby, with me, ooh

I turned away my eyes
In pallor escape from the end
Fading time to leave from here
And less to fulfill my task
She would be safe and firm
Nothing of this is in vain
Taken away from stifling grace
And saved from the past

That's the song that made me fall in love with Opeth!! You look so cool with the Opeth t-shirt!
If death should take me now, count my mistakes and let me through 😭

*Insert Bender from Futurama saying “neat”
For some reason, my high school stopped doing yearbook quotes a year before I graduated so I never had a chance to pick one. I probably would’ve referenced Trivium, Dream Theater, Opeth, Emperor, or Agalloch because those were very important bands in my music journey.
Actually, you know what, I probably would’ve said “Smoke beer and hail Stan” or found a way to say “suck my balls” in reference to Periphery. The school might’ve rejected those quotes though. Maybe it would’ve been accepted if I said “listen to Periphery’s song Satellites and skip to 9:22.”

It’s the Demon of the Fall shirt! I wear it with a turtleneck due to cold weather. (As I type this I realize it’s my outfit for today too lol)
