It's Been A While =/
User Image

I don't feel like making a journal entry about today, but don't get me wrong, events of today should not go unnoticed, but I think enough has been said by me about today (unless anyone says anything to Rin that I find offensive and shouldn't be said, then I WILL jump in and defend her).
But anyway, there is a point to this journal entry. I like songs....I might like them way to much sometimes, but I don't mind what anyone thinks about the music I listen to, as long as I like it, that's ok. So anyway when I'm upset I usually listen to a fun song or something that makes me think of something else. Today I turned to a particular song that usually makes me sad, but today it did the opposite, it made me feel a bit better. This song was send to me by someone I care about greatly and it reminds me of them, which made me feel a bit better (until I got to talk to some people again and then that didn't work anymore, but not the point). The point is...well there really is no point but this song reminds me of a person. It reminds me not just of everything I like about them, but everything I don't like about them, but....it reminds me of them, which can sometimes make me feel good or sometimes make me feel sad.
Well enough of my rambling on about this, I'll just post the lyrics to 2 songs that I love a lot (you might hate them...but meh I love them)
Please click on the song title to go and listen to the song, maybe you'd end up liking them if you've never heard them before =/

It's Been A While - Staind
It's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
and it's been a while
Since I first saw you
It's been a while
since i could stand on my own two feet again
and it's been a while
since i could call you
But everything I can't remember as ******** up as it may seem
the consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

It's been a while
since i could say that i wasn't addicted and
It's been a while
Since I could say I love myself as well and
It's been a while
Since I've gone and ******** things up just like i always do
It's been a while
But all that s**t seems to disappear when i'm with you
But everything I can't remember as ******** up as it may seem
the consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and ******** things up again

Why must i feel this way?
just make this go away
just one more peaceful day

Its been awhile
Since I could lok at myself straight
and it's been awhile
since i said i'm sorry
It's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
It's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
But everything I can't remember as ******** up as it may seem
I know it's me i cannot blame this on my father
he did the best he could for me

It's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
and it's been a while since i said i'm sorry

So Far Away - Staind
This is my life
Its not what it was before
All these feelings I’ve shared
And these are my dreams
That I’d never lived before
Somebody shake me
Cause I, I must be sleeping

(chorus)
Now that we're here,
It's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All the mistakes,
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here its so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive and I’m not ashamed to be the person that I am today

These are my words
That I’ve never said before
I think I’m doing ok
And this is the smile
That I’ve never shown before

Somebody shake me
Cause I, I must be sleeping

(chorus)

I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me

(chorus)

o and I lied I have one more song lyrics I'm gonna post. Sadly I see a lot of meaning in this song that might tie in with events of today, but then again I'm usually the only person that sees these meanings so just read them or listen to the song, or just totally ignore this post.

Falling - Staind
You
In your shell
Are you waiting for someone to rescue you
From yourself
Don't be disappointed when no one comes

Don't blame me you didn't get it
Don't blame me you didn't get it
Don't blame me you didn't get it

I already told you that falling is easy
It's getting back up that becomes the problem
Becomes the problem
If you don't believe you can find a way out
You've become the problem
Become the problem

You
All alone
Are you waiting for someone to make you whole?
Can't you see?
Aren't you tired of this disfunctional routine?

Don't blame me you didn't get it
Don't blame me you didn't get it
Don't blame me you didn't get it

I already told you that falling is easy
It's getting back up that becomes the problem
Becomes the problem
If you don't believe you can find a way out
You've become the problem
Become the problem

I already told you that falling is easy
It's getting back up that becomes the problem
Becomes the problem
If you don't believe you can find a way out
You've become the problem
Become the problem

Falling is easy
It's getting back up that becomes the problem
Becomes the problem
And if you believe you can find a way out
Then you've solved the problem
You've solved your problem.
