Lifehouse - Take Me Away

Woke up this morning with this tune in my head. The first stanza alone says it all. No direct proof of anything, but I’m very happy and inspired.

“TAKE ME AWAY” by Lifehouse

This time

All I want is you
There is no one else
Who can take your place

This time

You burn me with your eyes
You see past all the lies
You take it all away

I've seen it all

And it's never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away

Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away

I try to make my way to you

But still I feel so lost
I don't know what else I can do

I've seen it all

And it's never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away

Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away

Don't give up on me yet

Don't forget who I am
I know I'm not there yet
But don't let me stay here alone

This time

All I want is you
There is no one else
Who can take your place

I've seen enough

And it's never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away

Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away

Take me away

Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away...

'Makulit' v.2

I have my self-doubts, but I "enjoy" the feeling anyway... <3

I don't trust my feelings anymore. Experience taught me that.

Ang galing talaga ng GMK, kahapon ko pa naiisip ito, naunahan pa rin ako mag-post. Hehehe...

(Why Can't We) Stay Like This Forever

I was channel surfing last night just before sleeping when I stumbled upon an Indonesian film ("Love Reborn") playing this song over and over as background music. I got curious because the tune reminded me of the feeling from a happy morning almost a week ago. Listening closely, I can relate to the light-hearted lyrics. New LSS. <3

We dream of reciprocity. Simple joys.

AN LSS FROM A FAVORITE GENRE

I simply love the science fiction genre, specifically outer space suspense/horror and post-apocalyptic scenarios. My favorite movies of this genre: The “Alien” saga— very entertaining from the very beginning, prequels are superb; “Europa Report”— interesting ‘found footage’ format; “Cloverfield” saga— weird but okay; “Life”— very good but very disturbing; “Sunshine” and “Pandorum” are way up in my list for story, acting and visual effects.

And then there are short films. The Netflix animated “series” Love, Death + Robots is definitely not family-friendly. The way each stand-alone “episode” is done is very unconventional because of the foul language, intense violence and uncensored nudity/sex. “Beyond The Aquila Rift” instantly became my favorite. The plot is quite similar to an old episode of Twilight Zone’s “Monsters” back in the late 80s. The end is truly terrifying. This song is part of the series soundtrack: the main theme of that particular episode. The tune has been recurring in my mind ever since I heard it as background music for the show. A new LSS.

‘LIVING IN THE SHADOWS’ by Matthew Perryman Jones

Smoke is clearing out, all the circling lights... blind me
I've been running out, now it's all just a fight... to breathe
I gave it all… yeah, I gave everything

I will never break the silence
When I look inside, I don't have to hide
If you're looking, you won't find it
Who's the enemy?
Don't know what to believe

Living in the shadows
Living in the shadows

Light is breaking through the dark that is underneath
I know the truth, but for you it's just out of reach
You took it all… yeah, you took everything

I will never break the silence
When I look inside, I don't have to hide
If you're looking, you won't find it
Who's the enemy?
Don't know what to believe

Living in the shadows
Living in the shadows
(Shadows, shadows)

I will never break the silence
Who's the enemy?
Don't know what to believe

Living in the shadows
Living in the shadows
Living in the shadows

Living in the shadows

Living in the shadows…

'Thank you' for failing me...

(from Typewriters Voice)

Life is neither perfect, nor convenient.

Misled myself for far too long! I’m learning to accept that mistake now. Still mending wounds, though... I tell you, things could have been worse.

Am currently deconstructing where I went wrong, optimistically to correct at the soonest, but taking my time anyway. HAHAHA!!!

Realized there are things we can live without, or deter at the moment.

Certain people may not be comfortable around me anymore; I’m slowly learning to live with that, too.

At the very least, I’ve been true to myself. Able to have said what I always wanted to say in the distant past, whether they believed it or not— tried again and again, even just in words: actions halted every time; expressed (although somewhat hidden) regret/frustration/sadness/loneliness/even anger, for the “failure” itself. Now hopefully starting to recover for good.

All things considered, (surprisingly,) I’m somehow quite happy. And somehow… at peace.

How?

How does one let go
after holding on 
for so long,
when apparently there was nothing
from the very beginning...?

HAHAHA!!! Sounds too cheesy and corny!
How can one let go, if there was nothing to hold on to in the first place?!
