More random lyrics, and my feelings about them. :)
After this random lyrics post, I will continue to do it, but it will be more themed. I will do it either by artist, or album. Giving lyrics by one band, or lyrics on just one album, may give you a more accurate view of the artist themselves. It will be more fun for me also. Until then, enjoy.
“Cant you see? Im shining just for you. Loneliness is over, dark days are through.”
-Black Keys, “The Only One”
When I first heard this, I smiled. All lyrics either hit you, or bounce off you, because of the situation, or circumstances your currently in. Given my situation, it reminded me of how I love her. It put me in a positive mood to continue to work for what it is I want. I found it very encouraging and it reminded me that she is the only one, she always was. It just took some time to realize.
“Someone told me that two lovers bound
Could put another sun in the sky.
If you believed it, there’d be
Twice the light and no one would be scared to fly”
-Live, “Who Put The Fear In Here”
Listening to this, makes even the most realistic thinkers want to dream. To imagine a world where love could be so strong, change physical events. Reminds me of the movie, The Notebook. Who’s to say the power of love, isn’t like the power of Jesus Christ? For the ones who believe so deeply, mountains can move. Who knows.
“And there it goes my innocence
While gathering up a compliment
And here I lie with words to swear
There’s something more than
The world out there”
-Collective Soul, “Compliment”
When I heard this, I thought of my deployment. I thought of how people compliment me on my choice to serve. I feel like what this lyric describes from time to time. I feel like I sacrificed my innocence to serve this country. Now, in realizing different things, I begin to feel that no matter how much I wanted to do this, to feel like I did my part, there’s more important things. I don’t regret my decision, I just tend to ponder about it occasionally.
“If the children don’t grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We’re just a million little gods causin’ rain storms turnin’ every good thing to
rust. I guess we’ll just have to adjust.”
-Arcade Fire, “Wake Up”
I had to adjust. People go through their lives heart-broken and I believe the majority of the time, they bring it upon themselves. If people would quit with the natural human behavior of being selfish, greedy, never being content, and fearful, ultimately the satisfaction of life will grow. The odds of being happy with one person, having needs fulfilled by one person will be more likely. Experiencing everything described in love songs, chick flicks, and romantic novels will become a reality to more people.
