i love finding songs i can relate to. half the time the songs are usually about something completely different than what i am thinking...but it is my favorite to find a song that completely describes my thoughts about life and certain experiences. this week the song i've been listening to on repeat is arcade fire's "ocean of noise". i'm pretty sure they had no idea what experience would come to mind when i hear this song. but it describes it perfectly. running home that june night, 5 am, in tears. and not given a choice about what would happen to me.
only the biggest most life-changing event ever. one that has shaped me for the worst. and i can only hope with time, i can work it out.
In an ocean of noise
I first heard your voice
Ringing like a bell
As if I had a choice, oh well!
Left in the morning
While you were fast asleep
Into an ocean of violence
A world of empty streets
You've got your reasons
And me I've got mine
But all the reasons I gave
Were just lies to buy myself some time
In an ocean of noise
I first heard your voice
Now who hear among us
Still believes in choice?
Not I!
No way of knowing
What any man will do
An ocean of violence
Between me and you
You've got your reasons
And me I've got mine
But all the reasons I gave
Were just lies to buy myself some time
I'm gonna work it out
Cause time wont work it out
I'm gonna work it out
Cause time wont work it our for you
I'm gonna work it on out
