Sadcore Sundays: “Fake Plastic Trees” by Radiohead

Music Pick by Luisa Ruiz

Lyrics:

“Fake Plastic Trees”

Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itselfIt wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her outShe lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins

It wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can’t help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run

It wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out

If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted all the time

All the time…
All the time…

That’s google’s definition. We’re classifying sadcore as anything you can relate to that makes you sad, or that you listen to when you are sad, or both. Sadcore Sundays are meant for you to indulge in your sadness, and then move on.
