My thoughts are misguided and a little Naïve

It's so easy to just delete and forget.
Delete -> Forget.


I think it's weakness. I'll forget so that I won't have to worry about it.


Everyday is exactly the same. I rarely feel like things are new. I don't feel experienced though, I just feel routined and purposeless. "there is no love here and there is no pain".
It's safe. It's hidden behind barricades and bulwarks. I hate strife, or argument, I'm not sure where it stems from though.


I want to go to far away places and meet people. I want to fight for my life. I want my life to be an epic, and to be labeled a hero. 
I read too many books.


I wanted to try and end with something more uplifting but I'm not really feeling it right now, I always get like this late at night. Hmm, well, I worked out yesterday and I'm way sore, which I love the feeling of.
and...
the weather is around the time that it's my favorite. I like the chill. I think you feel more when you're cold, despite the numbing. Maybe its more mental awareness, like heat anesthetizes your mind while cold invigorates it.


well, the bedtime knell was around a half hour ago, I can't think of anything else to say.


As promised two blogs ago: one of my favorite Keane songs:

It's called "She Goes Back in Time"


I'd always been confused by the lyric "She goes back in time" itself,

I usually approached the song in some manner as her going back in time, as in reminiscing, or dwelling on regret.

The repetition of 'time', so often as a lyric itself as well as the theme of all the rest seems to indicate to me the significance of whatever their past was. 

I also like how the first chorus "she goes back in time" is repeated 3x, the second chorus, 5x, and the third chorus, 7x. 
Which could represent, i think, that she is slipping more and more into wishing the past could be changed. Especially since each chorus is prefaced with "Don't wanna wake up, don't wanna wake up".

Thinking of it as 'she goes back... in time', adds a far more hopeful element that I hadn't considered. 
Throughout it all, I struggle to decide where he (the "I" of the song) fits in. But I still think it's one of their best songs.
