I sent a message in a bottle to the press
It said, "Don't be ashamed or disgusted with yourselves"
"Don't be ashamed or disgusted with yourselves"
These lines are some of my favorite lyrics ever. A message in a bottle implies anonymity, while sending it to the press seems to indicate it should be read by the public. The line "Don't be ashamed or disgusted with yourselves" is so powerful to me. The line seems to be meant for anyone (the public) and there is no sense of blame attached as it was sent as a message in a bottle. It makes me feel like Dan Bejar is trying to send a message to everyone: you don't have to be ashamed of what you are, or what you feel. This has certainly said before by others, but I honestly never took it to heart before this song.
My interpretation is pretty sappy, but it helped me through a rough co-dependent relationship break up. We can lose track of where our emotions our coming from sometimes, and for me anyway, this song helped me figure out why I was feeling like shit all the time. And then I didn't feel like shit anymore.
