i think the use of the word anachronism to describe the girl in particular is not only describing how she was āborn in the wrong timeā or how she is āstuck in the pastā but also that she is pushed into thinking she is an error in the world and does not match whatās going on around her, similar to an out of place anachronism in history

I painted these lyrics all around my whole room when i was a teenager. I remember I did it the night before getting admitted, needless to say I was pretty manic at the time. I remember thinking and feeling every word of this song, while I took a backseat to my hyper-emotional borderline p.d. fast forward past hospitals & rehabs & suicide & 3 years of heroin addiction (and two years clean). I'm so far from that time, but I still remember it & feel it. This song still makes my heart race.

This was my cousin's music. He killed himself at 16. I was 23. At his funeral me and his friends played this music. The old people made us turn it off. That was the moment I understood why he killed himself. The old people were very happy once the music was off. Just as happy as they would have been had he graduated high school. College. Married. It was as if my cousin had jumped through the hoops. So long as the music was keep off. Rest in Power, little man. May you someday punch through the hoops.

It's been like 10 years since I saw them in concert, but that was one of the best live shows I've ever been to. The energy was unreal, and they were more engaged and present with the audience than any band I've seen, before or since. Amanda Palmer is absolutely hypnotic...she has that thing, that spark. Stood in line to say how much we enjoyed the show (they chilled with fans for like 2 hours after...absolutely epic), and the way she shook my hand made me feel like SHE was the one who was excited to meet ME. After meeting people for 2 hours.
Lol wow those memories come flooding back. Music is so cool. And artists like this are such a gift to the world.

You can tell
From the scars on my arms
And the cracks in my hips
And the dents in my car
And the blisters on my lips
That I'm not the carefullest of girls
You can tell
From the glass on the floor
And the strings that're breaking
And I keep on breaking more
And it looks like I am shaking
But it's just the temperature
And then again
If it were any colder I could disengage
If I were any older I could act my age
But I don't think that you'd believe me
It's not the way
I'm meant to be
It's just the way
The operation made me
And you can tell
From the state of my room
That they let me out too soon
And the pills that I ate
Came a couple years too late
And I've got some issues to work through
There I go again
Pretending to be you
Make believing
That I have a soul beneath the surface
Trying to convince you
It was accidentally on purpose
I am not so serious
This passion is a plagiarism
I might join your century
But only on a rare occasion
I was taken out
Before the labor pains set in and now
Behold the world's worst accident
I am the girl anachronism
And you can tell
By the red in my eyes
And the bruises on my thighs
And the knots in my hair
And the bathtub full of flies
That I'm not right now at all
There I go again
Pretending that I'll fall
Don't call the doctors
'Cause they've seen it all before
They'll say just
Let her crash
And burn
She'll learn
The attention just encourages her
And you can tell
From the full-body cast
That you're sorry that you asked
Though you did everything you could
Like any decent person would
But I might be catching so don't touch
You'll start believing
You're immune to gravity and stuff
Don't get me wet
Because the bandages will all come off
And you can tell
From the smoke at the stake
That the current state is critical
Well it is the little things, for instance
In the time it takes to break it
She can make up ten excuses
Please excuse her for the day
It's just the way the medication makes her
I don't necessarily believe there is a cure for this
So I might join your century but only as a doubtful guest
I was too precarious removed as a caesarian
Behold the worlds worst accident
I am the girl anachronism
I am the girl anachronism
I am the girl anachronism
I am the girl anachronism
I am the girl
I am the girl
I am the girl
I am the girl anachronism

This is the first song I ever heard from DD. I was driving home listening to a local college radio station like I always did bc they played music that wasn't mainstream. This came on and I pulled over and jotted down I'm the lyrics and looked it up online when I got home. Then bought all DD and Amanda Palmer music I could find. Ever since then Amanda has been my favorite artist. I imagine what if I didn't hear the song that day and never found DD? Amanda's music has gotten me through gang rape, abusive relationship, a miscarriage, abortion, drug addiction and so much more and I honestly don't know where I would be if I didn't have her words and music.

This song wakes up something inside me that ideally shouldn't be touched.
