I don't know probably something emo. But I hate emo culture. But considering any song that describes my life is emo there is no alternative. Which makes me feel emo. But I hate anything emo. Therefore I'm stuck in a cycle of emo. Somebody help me...
Some years ago, i used to listen a lot of emo/sad songs(for example : Crowded House -dont dream it's over; Linkin Park-Crawling ; Damien Rice- 9 crimes; Eurythmics-i save the world today; Cyndi Lauper- The world is stone ...). So, If my life was a song, it would have been a song about someone with a great potential but who made some bad choices, deceiving people and himself, resulting in an unexpected turn in is life. Stephen Crane's poeme "There was a man who lived a life of fire" could describe what it was about.
One day, i accepted my life wasnt that great and i accepted my responsabilities in some parts of this failure, because i didnt make the best decisions when i had to. Since then, i refused to let sadness to take the wheel of my future. I started to listen a lot of empowering and happy songs because nostalgia and melancholia were keeping me in an uncessary mourning state about things i hadnt accomplished yet.
I choosed to be the dreamer-optimistic-fighter type of guy, i refused to be stucked in the shadow of the man i could have been despite all the struggles waiting for me. So everyday i fight the fight for a better future because i not only hope, but i know i'll be fine. I stand up, no matter what. And guess what ? the more i fight, the more i'm shaping my life like the dream i wanted it to be. Of course i'm late of 4 or 5 years about the schedule i had when i were younger, but it doesnt matter to me anymore to be "on time". I dont care if i dont completely succeed to compensate the bad choices i've made. But at least i try. I believe only the final happiness matter to me.
That's why the song my life would be is "Never Forget" from british band Take That. I dont care if Take That is a boy band, lol. Their words speak to me. I want it to be the song which would be played the day i die.
TAKE THAT LYRICS
"Never Forget"
Been on this path of life for so long
Feel I've walked a thousand miles
Sometimes strolled hand in hand with love
Everybody's been there
With danger on my mind I would stay on the line of hope
I knew I could make it
Once I knew the boundaries I looked into the clouds and saw
My face in the moonlight
Just then I realised what a fool I could be
Just cause I look so high I don't have to see me
Finding a paradise wasn't easy but still
There's a road going down the other side of this hill
Never forget where you've come here from
Never pretend that it's all real
Someday soon this will be someone else's dream
Been safe from the arms of disappointment for so long
Feel each day we've come too far
Yet each day seems to make much more
Sure is good to be here
I understand the meaning of "I can't explain this feeling"
Now it feels so unreal
At night I see the hand that reminds me of the stand I make
The fact of reality
Never forget where you've come here from
Never pretend that it's all real
Someday soon this will be someone else's dream
We've come so far and we've reached so high
And we've looked each day and night in the eye
And we're still so young and we hope for more
But remember this
We're not invincible, we're not invincible - No
We're only people, we're only people
Hey we're not invincible, we're not invincible
So again I'll tell you
Never forget where you've come here from
Never pretend that it's all real
Someday soon this will be someone else's dream
