Lyric of the Day

When I have had a particularly bad day or am feeling really low, I find the only thing that I feel like doing is retreating into a song. I want it to consume me, and become part of my physical make-up. It sounds silly to want to become part of something inanimate but sometimes I feel it is the only thing I can relate to and want to relate to. The noise seems to drown out the world. You don't have to face that issue for those three minutes while the song is playing. I think this song says it best...

"Put the music loud enough to raise the dead,
Now build it up until my ears burn,
My body drops into another world...

And when I'm tired of walking alone,
I put my headphones on,
And when it's time to get out of it all,
I put my headphones on,
And when it feels like everything's wrong,
I put my headphones on,
And when it's time to get out of it all,
I don't want to listen to the static on the radio..."
- Headphones by Disco Ensemble
