It takes forever to get your music from CDs to your iPod....

So I really like the song Doesn't Remind Me by Audioslave. It's a very sad song. But in a lot of ways I can relate to that feeling. It's just that my list of things that don't remind me of anything is different. But I know that feeling. It's escape without using substanes. Going to the beach just before sunrise, driving around freeways in the middle of the night when they're empty all by myself. Other things for me that are escapes, but not because they don't remind me of anything: getting pierced or tattooed. I tend to get stuff done when I'm stressed. It takes me away from wherever I am. Having sex outside a relationship. That's closer to the "doesn't remind me" kind of thing. It's like, there's nothing but the sex. Nothing nothing nothing. Just two people together. It's not about love (or the lack of it) it's just about that physical thing you're doing together. That's always fun. Taking walks in the rain. That doesn't remnid me of anything. Sometimes I think it would be nice if it were the case that everything didn't remind me of anything. Such a sense of freedom, I imagine. What do you think? Here are the lyrics:

I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

[Chorus]
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

I like gypsy moths and radio talk
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like colorful clothing in the sun
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I ilke hammering nails and speaking in tongues
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

[Chorus]
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

Bend and shape me
I love the way you are
Slow and sweetly
Like never before
Calm and sleeping
We won't stir up the past
So descretely
We won't look back

[Chorus]
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand what's mine is ours
If it doesn't remind me of anything
