No Where To Go

“Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it’s so white as snow,
Privately divided by a world so undecided and there’s no where to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder and it’s so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there’s no where to go.”
-Snow (Hey Oh) by Red Hot Chili Peppers

The first time I actually have included the chorus of a song. Generally I just nick a line from the lyrics. There’s a reason however, for me changing my format. First would be that I need the entire chorus to convey what I’m thinking. Second would be that this is the first time I’ve seen RHCP make so much sense in their lyrics. The song rocks, completely.

I couldn’t stop listening to the song, nor I could stop wondering about the lyrics. It actually makes so much sense. Skeletons in the closet or delusions, wanting to believe in something or just plain lying to yourself. Take your pick. It’s all there. Unbelievable, there’s another quote coming up. I believe it was George Bernard Shaw who said something about the two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart’s desire and the other is to gain it. True, you’d kill for what you want. At times only to realize that what you wanted was completely something else.

Incidentally if I quote someone again, please shoot me.

Moving on. Heart’s desire. You want something so badly that it hurts. The lack frustrates you to the point where you’re actually pulling your hair out. It can get so bad that you’re actually acting like a hopeless case junkie in rehab. You would go to any lengths to acquire it. Herein lies the wanting to believe and the lying to yourself. Blinded? Possibly. Logic seems to take the biggest hit. Even when you realize that you’re busting your ass trying to gain something that just goes further away the more you try you can’t stop. Why do we always chase something we cannot have? (Arggh! kill me now, that’s from Dangerous Liaisons) The answer’s immaturity by the way.

Now this post is getting hilarious. I don’t remember why I started writing this. I’m quoting other people and there’s hardly any originality left in this. Guess I can attribute it to my current frame of mind. Confused! My mind keeps fluctuating between emotions that are complete antitheses of each other. My take on reality at the moment is all convoluted. I think I need to write something once my mind clears up and I’m thinking straight again. Do I hear a resounding ‘HAH!’?
