Default Lindsey is such a Libra

I came across this passage in a Linda Goodman book,
“The reason Libra is symbolized by the Scales is because some Librans have minds so delicately adjusted that no sooner does an idea enter than a contradictory idea is automatically suggested. Can you conceive what it would be like to be cursed with such a mind? Someone sayS HOT, the computer card flashes COLD. Someone feeds LONG, you pop out with SHORT. If you hear FAST, you instantly think SLOW. If you hear SLOW, you think FAST. You feel UP, and you look DOWN. You feel DOWN, you look UP.”


Yep....sounds familar.... Here are some examples that I could think of showing his Libra-ness with his lyrics… I’m sure there’s more… I'm sure there's a ton of interview examples!


MARY LEE JONES
DAYS were lonely and so were the NIGHTS.
She could not tell WRONG from RIGHT...

GO INSANE
Two kinds of people in this world
WINNERS, LOSERS…
…Two kinds of trouble in this world
LIVIN, DYING…


SLOW DANCING
The days are SHORT, the nights are LONG…
….I COME UP FAST, I GO DOWN SLOW….

The Entire song of YOU DO OR YOU DON’T -- even the title says it all


SAVE ME A PLACE
Don't know why I have to WORK
Don't know why I can't PLAY....

Don't know why I have to GO
Don't know why I can't STAY...


TUSK
Why don't you ask him if he's going to STAY?
Why don't you ask him if he's going AWAY?


YOU AND I PART 2
...Crawl out of the NIGHT
Hoping the DAYLIGHT….
Keep your heart OPEN
and your eyes SHUT tight….


MIRANDA
…She never COMES she always GOES…


SAY GOODBYE
I FALL DOWN, I GET UP and I've always had to fight
Everything that was WRONG for the things that were RIGHT
Now I finally found my way now I know just what to do
Once YOU said goodbye to ME
Now I say goodbye to YOU


GOODBYE ANGEL
...I'm giving OUT
But I'm not giving IN
LOVE turned to HATE...

You have to much time on your hands, Do you work. You should consider giving some of your wages back.

Only joking, That was very interesting. I never thought of that before

In Love Runs Deeper he sings about the woman having "two states of mind."

My favorite contradiction is from two different songs. They are years apart, so they don't exactly express what you're saying, they are just an evolution in the relationship, but I still love the comparison:

Don't Let Me Down Again

There's just one thing I'd like you to know
I've got no more to lose if you go

Second Hands News

One thing I think you should know,
I ain't gonna miss you when you go
