....If I were Hamlet I would have chosen the song Leech by Incubus in order to expose my personality. I chose this song, because Hamlet is a very peculiar character that constantly confuses the audience as to what his real feelings and actions are. He isn't a very reliable character. The audience can never be sure if what he says during his solliloquies is actually true, or if it's just his double personality speaking. I think that during Act III, the reader really gets to see Hamlet's duality and madness. When I heard this song, I could imagine Hamlet saying the lyrics to himself. This song has some sort of duality to it; it has this bipolar sense to it. I mean, each couple of phrases complement eachother with complete paradoxes. Just as well, a line that really impacted me was "Your fictional, plastic alibi..." This is so true with Hamlet, because as stated before we don't know if what Hamlet is a reliable narrator.
LEECH- By: Incubus
Does it make you indie?
Does it make you proud...to talk the world
into a paper bag?
Spotty stain of "I'm ok", you're not ok!
Yes, men too, can be on the rag.
"I'm in over my head, I need a pick me up!"
Whoa Ho Oh Ho
It's easy to get high when your'e standing on our backs man.
Will anything ever be good enough for you?
Whoa Ho Oh Ho
Stand on your own, hold your water if you can.
Chorus:
The ride's over. Did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over. Fairing well?!
The ride's over. Did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over. Fairing well?!
Not on my time
It isn't fair to mention, but it awes the crowd
Your fictional, plastic alibi
So take another hit, steal another line
Did you ever meet a leech who was good at goodbyes?
When you were down i always picked you up
Why didn't I recognize that everything was never fine?
I'm kicking myself that i shared spit with you
So fuck yourself
And fuck this bleeding heart of mine
The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over, fair thee well
The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over, fair thee well
Not on my time
When you were down i always picked you up
Why didn't I recognize that everything was never fine?
I'm kicking myself that i shared spit with you
So fuck yourself
And fuck this bleeding heart of mine
The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over, fair thee well
The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over, fair thee well
The ride's over
Does it make you proud...to talk the world
into a paper bag?
Spotty stain of "I'm ok", you're not ok!
Yes, men too, can be on the rag.
"I'm in over my head, I need a pick me up!"
Whoa Ho Oh Ho
It's easy to get high when your'e standing on our backs man.

Whoa Ho Oh Ho
Stand on your own, hold your water if you can.
Chorus:

The ride's over. Fairing well?!
The ride's over. Did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over. Fairing well?!

The ride's over, fair thee well
The ride's over
