My Interpretation

I do this thing sometimes, this thing, with lyrics. I love listening to music. One of my only "true" passions. Listening to music, appreciating it, getting all profound about it. There is this one thing I noticed, when I first listen to a song I like, I listen to it all the time, sometimes two or three times a day. Then, I get bored of it. Time passes, sometimes days, months, years even, and I listen to that song again. And it's like, I never forgot the tune, never forgot the lyrics (or most of the lyrics) but the emotion that comes with listening to that song is somehow new and refreshing.
I think its what I am going through in my life at that point in time, and something that I've known for a long time comes through for me, in some really unexplainable way. I don't know if this just me, or others feel that way too. It's like, somehow these songs "make more sense to me now." The songs come through for me, just like other things in life, like family, or your pet, or your buddy.

For me its music, for others it could be a book, God, work, food, a TV show, a poem, a movie, the stranger they met at the coffee shop, or a Playstation game.
Profound thoughts have roots in the most unsuspecting of things, it just dawns on you, you just stumble upon it. I guess that's why they call it pro"found". (there you go, that's my dumb blonde moment for today!!!)
Anyways, here are the lyrics that got all this verbal diorreah tonight.
These are lyrics from a song I first heard in the Summer of 2000, the best god damn summer ever. Its a song from the soundtrack of the movie "The Beach".


Beached - Orbital

Trust me
It's Paradise
This is where the hungry come to feed
For mine is a generation that circles the globe in search of something we haven't tried before
so never refuse an invitation
never resist the unfamiliar
never fail to be polite and never out stay your welcome
just keep your mind open and suck in the experience and if it hurts you know what... it's probably worth it
you hope, and you dream but you never believe that something is going to happen for you
not like it does in the movies
and when it actually does
you expect it to feel different
more visirale
more real
i was waiting for it to hit me

i still believe in paradise
but now at least i know it's not some place you can look for
cause it's not where you go
it's how you feel for a moment in your life
and if you find that moment it lasts forever
