I was about to go to sleep but I wanted to listen to a song that I like alot lately before I sleep. It is my favorite kind of music, alternative rock. It is so beautiful and poetic at the same time. Well, this time I really listened to the lyrics, and I realized, OMG, this can describe my life's predicament.
One of my new favorite songs for a lot of reasons:
Love this song

"Kings and Queens" by 30 Seconds To Mars
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Into the night
Desperate and broken
The sound of a fight
Father has spoken
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
We were the Kings and Queens of promise
We were the phantoms of ourselves
Maybe the Children of a Lesser God
Between Heaven and Hell
Heaven and Hell
Into your lives
Hopeless and Taken
We stole our new lives
Through blood and pain
In defense of our dreams
In defense of our dreams
We were the Kings and Queens of promise
We were the Phantoms of ourselves
Maybe the Children of a Lesser God
Between Heaven and Hell
Heaven and Hell
The age of man is over
A darkness comes and all
These lessons that we learned here
Have only just begun
We were the Kings and Queens of promise
We were the Phantoms of ourselves
Maybe the Children of a Lesser God
Between Heaven and Hell
We are the Kings
We are the Queens
We are the Kings
We are the Queens
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Now to compare it to my life and where it could lead:
Well the whoas can basically the cries of sadness and frustration to the world.
Verse 1: Just the conflict I feel in my heart and how I fear the disapproval of my parents. I feel it will destroy me leaving me with nothing.
Refrain: Saying how we live in like a purgatory of pain trying to fulfill others' expectations and how that we were never those people to begin with. Stuck trying to find the light and happiness.
Verse 2: How you have to fight for a new life to be happy and possibly fulfilled finally. A dream is a hope for happiness and we try to get out of that pain in pursuit of it.
Verse 3: You take what you learn and grow to be a better person. It is only the start of a new life.
Well, Verse 1 and the refrain sum up more of my current situation, but I guess maybe one day I can lead down that road to verse 2 and 3. I find myself wondering more and more each day how far I will go. Will I always choose to remain between heaven and hell?
