Woken from the dream by my own name...

"We were both broken in our own ways
Sifting through the rubble for the wrong things"

So another Valentines Day has passed and here I am, single, but surprisingly happy.
I have gotten to a point where I know what I want and I wont settle for less,
If that means I have to stay single, I'm okay with that.
I have been listening to Death Cab for Cutie's "Underneath the Sycamore" on repeat for the last two days. It is amazing...
The lyrics above as well as the post title are from this very song.
This song just has a subtle message about overcoming things and
recognizing the fact that you may not be heading in the right direction
but you keep on going until you can find the right path
Maybe alone or with the help of someone else.
Truly moving...

*Side Note* Happy Valentines Day!!

Jack of all Trades, Master at none

Today, lots of thoughts have been running through my head, too many…

Sometimes I think it’s better to be simple-minded at least that way you won’t know that you’re throwing your life away.

I guess that is what I have been feeling lately, I know no one can make me happy but me, it’s not as easy as it seems.

Time is holding me captive like it does everyone else.

Is my only choice to make the best of it or do I have the option to fight it kicking and screaming? It passes so quickly, I take a breath and a week has passed, I move my hand to my face and there goes a year.

Hmmm.

I picked up my computer and had all intentions of writing about music and the amazing effect it has upon ones soul, but it seems my mind had other things planned.

Let me try and steer you away from my depression introspective.

I find myself listening to Death Cab for Cutie more, my favorite song right now has to be "Passenger seat".

It’s slow and melodic but it captures my heart in a way that cannot be explained. Although I find the one song that encompasses how I feel is "the sound of Settling". It’s short but upbeat, you find yourself singing along with it.

Despite the upbeat tempo I feel like the song is attempting to give the listener a wakeup call by telling them that at one point the singer may have felt himself settling when he knew he could do so much more.

The line I love most is "My brains repeating, if you’ve got an impulse let it out."

It’s strange how writing this out makes the weight on my chest lighter. I think that is all I have to say for now. Sorry this was such a depressing post I’ll try to make the next post upbeat. ^_^

Here are some pictures that are lifting my spirits at the moment

I Love Music....Lyrics

I started thinking about some songs I love and I wanted to share some of my favorite lines from those songs:

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pin hole,

just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound.

~Death Cab for Cutie

The road outside my house, Is paved with good intentions.

Hired a construction crew, 'Cause it's hell on the engine.

~Fall Out Boy

You did me wrong, I grinned and played along

Those days are gone, does this confession turn you on?

~Say Anything

When you go, Don't ever think, I'll make you try to stay

And maybe when you get back, I'll be off to find another way.

~My Chemical Romance

Say you want to let me go and that's gonna have to end

You can Go and getta new boyfriend But you'll never getta better boyfriend
Love just aint our way but, You know I don't pretend Imma go and getta new girlfriend

Imma get myself a better girlfriend

~Tyga

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year

~Pink Floyd

I'd walk through hell for you.
Let it burn right through my shoes,
These soles are useless without you.
Through hell for you let the torturing ensue,
My soul is useless without you.

~Say Anything

Your heart is a river that flows from your chest through every organ,

your brain is the dam and I am the fish that cant reach the cord.

~Death Cab for Cutie

So one last touch and then you'll go

and we'll pretend that it ment something so much more.

But it was vile, and it was cheap

and you are beautiful but you dont mean a thing to me.

~Death Cab for Cutie

I know that you want me to want you I want to

But I can't forgive you

So when this is over don't blow your composure baby

I can't forget you

~Mayday Parade

Thats just the few song lyrics i could remember, I think all of them are strong in their own way. If you couldnt tell...I love Death Cab for Cutie.^_^
