It's one of those songs I put on when I feel like maybe, just maybe, all of the annoying components of everyday life, briefly summed up by the task of struggling to remain safe and sane while trying to get enough sleep and tick off enough gigs to earn the dollar, don't really matter in the end.
I mean, they do. But I try to turn my frustration around into a positive feeling of awareness that I've earned every single thing I have, from my 5 euro ballerinas from H&M to self-confidence. And I bet girls from the Runaways felt the same. The female pioneers in hard rock, they were the first to carve a path I'd undoubtedly follow if I had any musical talent whatsoever. Oh well.
