I follow you, you follow me. I don't know why you lie so clean. I'll break right through the irony.
Enlighten me, reveal my fate. Just cut these strings that hold me safe. You know my head, you know my gaze. You'd know my heart if you knew your place. I'll walk straight down as far as I can go.
I follow you, you follow me. I don't know why you lie so clean. I'll break right through the irony.
Cure this...
Wait
I... I hate this wait...
I hate this wait
I follow you, you follow me. I don't know why you lie so clean. I'll break right through the irony. I don't know why. I don't know why. I follow you, you follow me. I don't know why you lie so clean. I'll break right through the irony."~Breaking Benjamin.
I feel like this song is complicated, but still a very good song. I don't exactly understand the meaning, and maybe we weren't meant to. But I feel this song has alot of power behind it. Like it says, "Just cut the strings that hold me safe." seems to be that way with everyone. We need a little push to see things differently. Sometimes it's a very rude awakening. Although it seems to me we all need to cut away the strings that keep us safe, and realize that the world can be a very scary place. We all have that little safety net, I just think some people's nets are thicker than others, and they don't see the aspects of the world that they don't want to see. It sucks for the rest of us that are grounded in reality because we see the hurt in the world that they seem to be oblivious to. We FEEL it, we don't just see it. It seems you really have to feel pain, REAL pain, to understand it. Even then we don't understand it completely. Everyone feels pain differently, so when you say "I know how you feel." You really don't. You may have been through the same thing a thousand times before and you still will not understand how they feel. I find myself biting my tongue because I say that. Then I realize that I don't, that I have no clue. People don't seem to get it. And that's one of the phrases that turns me off. Trust is a big issue for me. I don't trust many people. And even some of the people I do trust don't know everything. I can't trust anymore, not after being hurt so many times. And people don't realize that. People keep pushing me to be open when that just makes me close up further. I hate it when people do that. I need to come to trust you on my own. I'm like a wild horse. I'll come to you when I know you won't hurt me. Till then you're screwed if you try to halter me 'cause my hooves are going to connect with your flesh and send you flying backward with a couple of broken bones. It just sets you back. I think alot of people feel this way. No one wants to be a trapped animal. We need freedom, and choices and to make those choices on our own. Not be forced into them.
Well, signing off and hoping you liked listening.
