Can You? Can you blame me for trying? Can you blame me for thinking it looks like fun? Can you blame me for not caring that much? Can you blame me for the deep diving? Can you...? ...Blame me for the joy? ...Blame me for the impulse? ...Blame me for the raw honesty? ...Blame me for the courage? Can you...? ...Blame yourself for still choosing to be with me?
Let Us Be Happy Don't be surprised if you find things exactly the way you left them Don't pull that face after discovering I'm still that person Giving the same dry answers Granting a soundtrack to each moment Expressing the same silence Don't assume what you thought would change in me Don't walk around me expecting to pop a fake bubble Showing what you always thought I'd become Smiling at your face of relief Saying I still don't mind Just don't, and let us be happy as we are right now, just like now. Worth Saving To start, just a statement: we cannot truly control everything that has to do with us outside of our own actions. There will always be different kinds of energy sucking, pulling and just playing with that missing part, that unprotected part of our whole self. That we do control, involves as much as we all know, understand and manage... ways of thinking, the decisions we make, the way we communicate, what we let others to see from us and how much we share; all that, submited to our power, but besides there's a bunch of other aspects that we don't have the time or the energy to reach out to, or we just don't know they are being manipulated by others... in other words: opinions. What I find very interesting is the fact that some can actually be aware of all this, and live based on that awareness, like just letting things come as they go and (in a very discrete way) pulling off that important energy, that will eventually kill the opinion. As most like to say "the less attention you pay, the smaller it gets". The thing comes down then, to the choices you make about these opinions... do you act on them? do you demand some participation? do you ask for some re-interpretation? or do you just let the thing work on its own? (taking away the energy I mentioned before). It can turn into a very difficult situation, while deciding if that should matter or not, and what to do about it... The way I see it, some things are worth saving and some others can just go on its course to final destruction; nothing will get solved by the power of magic, so it is up to people to make that decision wether to do something about it or not. I've tried both, and they taste equally as good. But the more you practice (as everything in life, practice is great) the better your judgment gets, and it gets easier to know when something is worth discussing and solving, in order to be saved... or when the best solution is to walk away from it. You either face it, or let it go. Not everything is worth saving, but those things (ideas, opinions, people, memories) that are, will give you the greatest battles to learn from, and the finest treasures to keep. Lyrics by Oasis (There's no better song for this, than this one) Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find A better place to play You said that you'd never been But all the things that you've seen Will slowly fade away So I start a revolution from my bed 'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside, summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face 'cause You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out And so Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say Take me to the place where you go Where nobody knows, if it's night or day. Please don't put your life in the hands Of a Rock 'n Roll band and throw it all away Gonna start the revolution from my bed 'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside the summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out And So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by. her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say And So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late and we're walking on by Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger, don't look back in anger I heard you say It's not today. On It I might as well crash soon, hit and bruise myself. I might as well stay down for a while locating the pain. But it would feel 10 times better than this stillness I've been stuck in for so long. I could loose so much I could cause so much damage But it will feel 10 times better than keeping life in such a small box. I might as well fail, I could really ruin this solid ground, But the truth it... it already feels 10 times better than smiling as I notice every day looks the same. Lyrics by Incubus I have waited
Dined on ashes Swung from chandeliers and climbed Everest And none of it's got me close to this I've waited all my life If not now, when will I? We've been good Even a blast, but Don't you feel like something's missing here? Don't you dare I've waited all my life If not now, when will I? Stand up and face the bright light Don't hide your eyes It's time No umbrellas No sunglasses Healing [hearing?] Hallelujah everyday I've waited all my life If not now, when will I? Stand up and face the bright light Don't hide your eyes It's time
