fiona apple - anything we want

i’ve listened to that song eight times just today

and i tear up every time at the line:

We started out sippin’ the water
And now we try to swallow the wave
And we try not to let those bastards get us down

mostly because it reminds me of that frida kahlo quote:

I drank to drown my sorrows, but the damned things learned how to swim.
