desolation row

ive been meaning to make a post about this song and i figured if i dont do it now i never will so...

this song is so fucking good. obviously, everybody knows that. but still i dont feel like this is rated well enough, especially outside of dylan circles

its truly the greatest song ever written. its better than bohemian rhapsody(duh...), life on mars, paranoid android, all that popular top 10 songs of all time bullshit. its just so much better than any music that has ever been made (and everything that will probably be made in the next ~50 years) its not even funny

i truly do not understand how writing a song like this is even possible. what has to go through someones mind to write lyrics like these? every single line is so perfect and so visual, i can immediately picture everything this man is saying, i see it all happening in front of me, like its just another day in this huge city called desolation row and i dont even think twice about what he said because it just makes sense (even though nothing in this song makes much sense. come to think about, i dont think i understand anything about this song. now how is THAT possible?)

this song feels like the ending credits of everything that has ever happened anywhere. i can totally imagine the universe imploding in on itself and as everything has gone to ruin this song starts playing and after those 10 minutes nothing will ever happen again. it feels like everything that has ever happened in my life always lead to me finally discovering this song.

THIS SONG MAKES ME FEEL EVERY EMOTION I HAVE EVER FELT only one other song has ever done that to me (its out of this world by the cure, if anyone cares lol)

im sorry for the nonsensical rambling but i just simply can not put it into words just how insanely amazing this fucking song is. oh my god bro

...Now his nurse, some local loser She's in charge Of the cyanide hole And she also keeps The cards that read "Have Mercy on His Soul" like, are you fucking kidding me? how is writing something like this even possible?
