fixed on a song
Can’t get over this song by Brandi Carlile, first heard it on Episode 2 of Grey’s Anatomy’s second season.
though i don’t relate to the lyrics at this point in my life, i kinda felt the song when i heard it.
It’s like the kind of song you want to say to someone, or to some people or to life in general whenever you’re at the wrong end of things.
Especially the last line, "alone is the last place i wanted to be", the fear of being deserted or left alone on your own. eventually you realize that you have go through times of pain or displeasure cause after all it will make you a better person in the end.
What Can I Say?
Look to the clock on the wall,
Hands hardly moving at all.
Can’t stand the state that I’m in
Sometimes it feels like the walls closing in
O Lord, what can I say?
I am so sad since you went away
Time time ticking on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord, what can I say?
Try to bury my troubles away
Drowns my sorrows the same way
Seem that no matter how hard I try
It feel like something’s just missing inside
O Lord, what can I say?
I am so sad since you went away
Time time ticking on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord, what can I say?
Oh Lord, what can I say?
How many rules can I break
How many lies can I make
How many roads can I turn
To find me a place where the bridge doesn’t burn
O Lord, what can I say?
I am so sad since you went away
Time time ticking on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord, what can I say?
Oh Lord, what can I say?
By the way, I was able to watch this song’s video on youtube.com (thank God for this site) and it was kinda intriguing, it shows old, torn and lost umbrellas suddenly coming into life and literally coming together to form this huge bird-like creature made of old, torn and lost umbrellas that eventually flies towards the sky. maybe sending the idea that whenever you feel torn, lost or abandoned, you can always come back to life and soar in search of your place in the sky.
