Coldplay - Talk (Alternative Version)
Posting Lyrics here because I want to use them for a future intaglio while I do some more researching at the COW library today. Doing some preparation work before my Junior and Senior Independent Study at Wooster in 2012 and 13.
I feel like most parts of this song reflects my life right now, with many of my friends spread over the world that are unable to talk or reach me in my current state of affairs when they need it the most. I'm moving on, and I was very much saddened and disheartened when one of my best friends left me a message on my live messenger stating that I'm starting to feel like I am moving out of reach and becoming somewhat ephemeral now that I am aspiring to become a Bachelors and Masters in Fine Arts in printmaking.
As much as people think I am moving forward fast, to me it feels like I am stuck in a phase of my life where I need to pursue a dream that I have. I admit that I am guilty of removing myself from being a socialite, and that it does hurt relationships now that I am oceans between many of you. The internet is really just a tool. A means to connect very faintly. My cellphone from Europe is a silent witness of the many calls I used to receive living in The Netherlands compared to my cellphone here in the United States. It is indeed like living in two different worlds, and perhaps I started to acknowledge this more than most other things. I would like to conclude this obscure Livejournal entry with an Art Major Owl situation that I had to deal with recently. It is exactly what I thought and how I felt.
Coldplay - Talk (alternative version) - Youtube
Under the great north star
Try to work out where you are
In the silence of the sea
I don't know where I've been
In the future, in the past
Going nowhere much too fast
When I go there go with me
When I go there go with me
'Cause I don't know where I'm going but I wanna talk
I feel like I'm going where I've been before
And I wanna talk
Take a picture of
Something that you're not sure of
Bring it back to show me
But I don't know what I see
In the future, find a home
Getting nowhere on your own
Got to find your missing piece
'Cause you don't know where you're going but you wanna talk
You feel like you're going where you've been before
And nothing's really making any sense at all
You'll tell any one who'll listen that you feel ignored
Let's talk, let's talk
Do you wanna talk?
I'm up in the part of the throne
I'm trying to sing a song
In a language I don't speak
I try but I can't get through
I'm trying to get to you
But you're difficult to reach
Won't you talk to me..?
So you don't know where you're going but you wanna talk
You feel like you're going where you've been before
Let's talk, let's talk...
Let's talk, let's talk...
