03; this great blue world of ours
"close your eyes and roll a dice / under the board there's a compromise / if after all we only lived twice / which lies the run road to paradise."
i have a penchant for sitting around and doing absolutely nothing but gaze and listen. i have reasons for leaving early and waiting and waiting because it's peaceful and nice to just sit in your car and do absolutely nothing at all while you have a CD mix on a loop. or, if not that, overhearing conversations between two people locked in a bittersweet argument. no yelling but quiet resignation and melancholy. and that - there is no question of privacy because all you can do is listen and catch words, interspersed with lyrics that have nothing to do with anything at all.
"i liked you. before all this anyway," she says.
(c'est le seul vide que je comblerai peut-êre / le seul regard que je saurai reconnaître / le seul et unique, il n'a jamais cessé d'être / je me'inclinerai juste avant de disparaître )
"so it's over?"
(mon double dans l'eau trouble / ravive dans l'eau vive / je sombre dans l'eau sombre)
"it's over."
and it's always funny that it means nothing at all. it's like watching a fictional movie playing before your eyes, but it doesn't exist in your world. and yet the exchange is still real and beautiful with an unfortunate ending. a soundtrack to their fleeting love story.
