so i know this is my first post in ages but i'm feeling a little sentimental and what better thing to do than write in my emo live journal. and what better way to be emo than to express how i'm feeling via song lyrics...
so here we go:
Colin Hay Lyrics - Overkill Lyrics
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know I'll be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night from overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know I'll be alright
It's just overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away

this song puts me in a mood. not a a bad one. just a funk. where i take on other peoples stresses and emotions because i myself am vulnerable though i'm not experiencing stresses and complicated emotions of my own.
but after listening to it a few times i feel better just knowing that my life could be a tad bit worse than it actually is. and i in turn realize each time this happens that my life really isn't so bad and the things that i do actually stress about and cry over are not nearly as bad as the next person's problems. and its like that for almost anyone and everyone. everybody at one time or another meets someone else who is worse off than them. therefor, i am also a person to someone else who thought they had it bad and realize my problems are more concerning than theirs. so really though my problems and concerns might be worse than that of the person in front of me, the person right behind me will also be even more worse off than either of the any before.
at least i don't really believe in ghosts...so as far as problems go colin hay is the one with a more concerning issue in this situation.
