it means everything.
I have been obsessed with this song "Soul meets body" by Death Cab. Some of the lyrics are:
"I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere."
part of the reason is because... the book "anthem" by ayn rand is probably one of, if not my favorite book, ever. because i love things that i can enjoy on multiple levels. anthem has so many messages about humanity but also about love. towards the end of the book, the main character finds the girl who has been following him and she says to him:
"We have followed you," they said, "and we shall follow you wherever you go. If danger threatens you, we shall face it also. If it be death, we shall die with you. You are damned, and we wish to share your damnation. Your eyes are as a flame, but our brothers have neither hope nor fire. Your mouth is cut of granite, but our brothers are soft and humble. Your head is high, but our brothers cringe. You walk, but our brothers crawl. We wish to be damned with you, rather than blessed with all our brothers. Do as you please with us, but do not send us away from you."
for some reason, the song reminds me of that part of the book... and i can just close my eyes and get lost in it... the absoluteness of my ideal love. man, if idealism could kill, i'd be a goner. luckily it is not, and i drift freely through life on dreams and spegghetios =) happy new year everyone!
