What is real?

Morning light?

Hope?

Dream?

Silence…

Have to study something you don’t like?
Keep falling in the same stupid hole.
I hate school. I hate people.

Leave me alone, don’t leave me behind.
How are you going to do that?
Time will never answer.

Hard to sleep, harder to wake up.
My dream just too beautiful to lose.
Isn’t this the right path?

Don’t know how, don’t know when, don’t know where, I still have to wake up!
Wake in the same stupid hole… again!
Go to hell, leave me alone! F**k that! I want to live.

It May Never End: The Saddest Story Ever Told

Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and

Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
F**k that I wanna see some fists pumping

Linkin Park – Hands Held High

Something.

Lonely night, lonely moon, after dusk, before dawn
I’m scared to the bone, settle here to the ground

I’m bored, even with the sound right here on my side.

Keep dreaming and don’t stay behind!

You might already read my post about ‘Silence is louder‘. What’s the story with ‘Last Days’?

I used almost all Graham Richardson’s song title form his album The Safety Of The North, and it make all my writing more artistic (…I think). Here’s the story about the album:

It concerns a young girl, Alice, and her family. Disenchanted with city living, they decide to “move north” (the Arctic Circle, judging from a couple of contextual clues provided along the way) to find a simpler, quieter day-to-day life. Such major upheavals usually don’t come about without their share of challenges, however. Thus Richardson has constructed a story-arc which from sadness to hope to struggle to sadness to hope once again. (SFBG Music Blog)

‘Nothing stays the same’ refers to change, loss and how we have no control over events or what happens to people. ‘Nothing ever ends’ are the memories of all these things, people or the mark they left on the world. It just means that the present can change at any moment but history can’t.

‘Onwards’ refers to Alice and her mother accepting or at least coming to terms with the events that have unfolded and realising that in time they will be able to move on in some sense. I pictured them marching. As always, i like to end the story showing a bit of hope. ([sic]magazine)

You are Stars, go somewhere, do something worthy, do it a lot (like a wise man), not talk much. At the end, you’ll find a better place for you and for me and the entire human race.

“Your Silence Is The Loudest Sound” is ravishingly icy, with Eno-like electronic murmurs and sputters forming a remarkable imitation of the frozen north. A place for a simpler, quieter day-to-day life. “We’ll be there soon, all of us, in the safety of the north,” a young girl (at Disc opener “The City Failed”) recites calmly, assuredly. (SFBG Music Blog)

Silence is louder: Hope is the only certainty in life.

Rain and run again, make me wanna cry

Hope I meet midnight sun
