Half The World Away

with one comment

Once one said that he was just going half the world away.

Just. Only. Oh, really?

Isn’t half the world away the most distant we could get between self and just anybody on this earth?

Singing half the world away..
You’re half the world away..
Half the world away..
I’ve been lost, I’ve been found,
but I don’t feel down.

Yeah, I don’t feel down…

Details in The Fabric

with one comment

[Yeah... Another song from Mr. AZ, mind you I butcher the song here]

All the details in the fabric?
Are the things that make you panic?
Are your thoughts results of static cling?
Are the things that make you blow?
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you’re shocked,
it’s just the fault of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything……

Hold your own
Know your name
Go your own way

If it’s a broken part, replace it
If it’s a broken arm then brace it
If it’s a broken heart then face it

And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

And everything will be fine
Hang on
Help is on the way
And stay strong
I’m doing everything

Everything it will be fine….
Everything in no time at all….
Hearts will hold.

Love & Mercy

with 2 comments

I was lying in my room and the news came on TV
there’s a lot of people out there hurting and it really scares me
oh, love and mercy are what you need tonight
love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

This is my text-messages tone. Love & Mercy from Libera. Somebody, please give me their new album.. Wkwkwkwk…

There’s a lot of people out there hurting and it really scares me

This is my favorite line. It describes me, really describes me. So, how do I put this into words? I know I am not good at explaining things, but this particular line of the song shows one of this world condition, one of what’s going on and how it affects me.

If you see things out there, you hear from your relatives, even you have your own experiences, you’ll know. The hurting part remains as long as human race exists. There’s no way to avoid it. How do we measure the hurting? Is it worse these days? Some may say so, but does it really matter?

Whenever I deal with people (which is everyday), I am afraid to hurt them and to be hurt (Well, to be hurt is obviously my main concern, :P). But not just that, as the lyric says, to see people hurting each other really scares me.

Why does it scare me? I don’t know. Anyone knows?

oh, love and mercy are what you need tonight
love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

Even More Than We Do Now

with 2 comments

There is no lovelier sound…
To be lost then to be found…

OK, it’s not from Libera (surprised, huh?). It’s from Rush of Fools. A friend of mine introduced them to me and it’s good for my ears.

…No lovelier sound…
Why does it have to be sound?
…To be lost then to be found…
Why does we have to get lost first?
Just to hear that lovelier sound?
…Even More Than We Do Now…
And what does it have anything to do with what we do now?

It is a lovely sound, a sound
.. since we can not see it clearly
.. we are amazed but we can’t catch the whole thing
.. what we know is that it’s inside us and it moves us along
We got lost
.. from the very beginning
.. it’s lovely that we are found
More than everything
.. when we were lost, we lost everything
.. then we are found and gain everything

[we are saved by grace through faith]
