teen angst fri, sat, sun, mon....was putting this song on playback and the track after that....there's something in this song reminiscent of teen angst...and even though it's not a loud song, at the chorus the singer "shouts"...and it's almost like he's shouting for me, shouting out the words i felt like saying, expressing the angst and anger and "i don't wanna care anymore cos i wanna run away from it and not talk about it" feelings inside my head....btw splender sounds a whole lot like vertical horizon (the band who sang "everything you want"), and both are relly good to listen to...not too loud, not too soft, definitely not boring. i finally got hold of this album, "halfway down the sky", after so many years of hunting for it and finding it sold out...like the first switchfoot album, i got it at borders sg. the cover's really cool, it shows what looks like a fallen angel, not the cherubic angels you see that look like babies, but a shape of a man, with some hint of wings, and a few arrows shot through. in a way that's what we are, rite? fallen. Yeah, Whatever by SPLENDER And you're primitive And you're cynical to me And I chewed down on the bit And almost swallowed it You sit all alone with your color TV Your hair starts to glisten In spite of the fleas We don't have to stay friends Let's pretend to be enemies Yeah, whatever makes you happy Yeah, whatever makes it beautiful Yeah, whatever leaves you satisfied 'Cuz I'm out of time For now And you're paranoid As you look me up and down And I'm soaked in gasoline Mud and ice cream You sit by the phone With your tongue hanging out You cradle the flies in the back of your mouth We don't have to stay friends Let's pretend to be enemies Damned if you do What if you don't Damned if you do What if you won't You must be aware what you're Doing to me We sunk like a stone on a rock In the sea We don't have to stay friends (Not for very long) We don't have to stay friends (Just because you're gone) You get what you want 'cuz you won't let it die Yeah, whatever makes you happy Yeah, whatever leaves you insecure Yeah, seems to break you down 'Cuz I'm out of time But I'm feeling fine. yes, it does relate to me. another clue if you will. no further comments. as for today, i was in no mood to listen to music. i was busy dozing off or sleeping at any chance i got. and the fact that the office is so cold doesn't help either...there were points in time in the morning and rite after lunch where i found myself just struggling to stay awake. but thank god i was finally left alone for lunch, unlike yesterday's "orientation", so i got to sit down and pray....and fall asleep after that til lunch break ended. i also overslept in the bus, ended up at marsiling mrt. thank god they have the 950 now or else i'd have to walk to customs, or to the next nearest bus stop. |
