Coincidence?
I was listening to this beautiful song by Anggun called “Something Sublime,” while searching Google for pictures of New Zealand, feeling sad that I was leaving the US and at the same time elated to go to such a beautiful country. One of the websites that featured photos I wanted to see was called “sublimeip.com.” I kinda stared and gawked for a few seconds, staring at the logo: “Sublime//ip.” In the meantime, Anggun’s lyrics echoed in the background:
To walk the road in my rhythm
Put my faith in the hands of time
Everything comes for a reason
And life is something sublime
Something Sublime
Anggun
From “Luminescence” (English version)
2005
Life heals and bruises
Defends and abuses
Stares like a witness
A teacher, a temptress
From the east to the west
I try my very best
My mother's secret
I learn not to forget
Refrain:
To walk the road in my rhythm
Put my faith in the hands of time
Everything comes for a reason
And life is something sublime
To live with courage and wisdom
Always keep my head up high
Everything comes with a reason
And await is something sublime
The further that I go
The lesser that I know
Time can be a foe
Or a friend that makes you grow
I heard a secret
Learn not to forget
Refrain
To walk the road in my rhythm
Put my faith in the hands of time
Everything comes for a reason
And life is something sublime
Something Sublime
