Perry is on speed

#1 Post by Hokahey » Thu Mar 01, 2018 8:13 pm



I finally figured it out.

Watch his fucking hands. I've known meth heads and they have the same mannerisms.

That's why he's shitted up his artistry so much. He's on the worst kind of shit for that. Between Etty and the speed it's clear why he's such a fuck up.

Probably something prescribed like his wife.

He's always been a twitcher. He could also very well take a low dose of oxycontin every day. I don't know. But yeah that's how he talks and twitches in all interviews now. It could also just be the aftermath of years of abuse.

I've never seen him that bad. That brought back memories of people on some terrible shit.

Fuck, his whole expression at 1:17-1:18 is horrifying. Like a proper maniac. He looks blind.

He must not be taking getting old very well.

Meth will certainly make you feel better about everything.

But it's definitely a prescription. Whats that upper that college kids take to stay up all night and study?

I can relate. I'm not even a month younger than Mr Etty and I can say firsthand the gears start slipping when I hit the tail end of the 50's and I take decent care of my body and mind.

Do you guys think he has any awareness that he wasted his potential career?

Maybe he just gave up and makes music with his wife because he knows that's all he can do to make himself happy at this point. There's no way he thinks she is talented. There's no way he'd rather write words for her than himself. There's no way he'd rather make house music on his laptop than work with Dave or Pete.

He probably has just realized that the world passed him by and all that's left is to get drunk and make fun music with his wife that ends with him getting laid every night.

No, I would think he's sort of clinically deluded. At least, every time we see him he acts that way, without exceptions. I would also imagine that when he's feeling down he has those thoughts you mentioned (or maybe vice versa - sometimes he has those thoughts and he feels down because of them). But look at his face, and watch him speak. And listen to the things he say. Perry is mentally ill.

And to be honest, after reading Panda's comment, the possibility that he's using should not come as a big surprise either. He's hardly ever been strong enough to face the obstacles life's given him without the help of drugs, if ever at all. Now, reaching an old(er) age,maybe not being able to write good music, having very few friends, not being relevant, maybe having physical difficulties... you know, having wrinkles... it all seems to be very difficult for him.

Extremely similar chemical compound to meth.

You forgot "being married to Etty" on your list btw

That's the one I was thinking of.

Yes. It's probably that. I could have sworn "Splash a little water" was all about being up for several days straight partying, was it not?

Dude just goes out clubbing all the damn time, and takes that shit to stay awake. Probably doesn't consider it drug use since it's a prescription, but I'll bet it's more than recreational at this point.

Maybe he got those fake chompers because he was grinding his teeth too much and fucked them up.

So it takes a hefty Adderall / Ritalin stack to enable him to put up with the wife now? :lol:

Dude, watch his left eyelid around the one minute mark, it twitches and then it blinks.
