(February 10^th life aspirations)  

Ohhh.. Ohhh..

Life doesn’t promise a bed of roses
Or white knights
Fields of emotions I’m trapped in darkness
Why me
Save me
To win this twisted war inside me
Won’t justify the pain
Life doesn’t promise a bed of roses

[Chorus:]
Lightening strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me to be strong
I’m floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

Ohhh.. Ohh..

They paint a picture of perfect nowhere blue skies
Within every lie there’s a web of comfort
For them
Not me
To win this twisted war inside me
Won’t justify the pain
They paint you a picture of perfect nowhere

[Chorus:]
I said now
Lightening strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me to be strong
I’m floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

Where do we go from here?
I wish I would disappear
I’m a lonely soul
So far from home

Yeah, yeah, yeah..

Lightening strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me, help me
I’m floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I.. I said
Lightening strikes, I said lightening strikes
Floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

I decided to put this song into my life aspirations category because it describes me, my life, and my emotions all too well. The song above describes a common problem and a harsh reality. The song illustrates that life isn’t easy and nobody said it would be, one needs to hold on and realize that it’s not that bad. She describes a common problem I’ve had with myself for a while now. The idea of not knowing what to do when you feel you’ve hit rock bottom, and wanting to just get away from it all is a feeling I know all too well. She also talks with a feeling of displacement, another emotion I am all too familiar with. Surrounded by a group of different people, different to that of which you are accustomed and not a part of can make you feel out for place and claustrophobic. She describes that life keeps going and won’t stop, pause or take a break so you can catch a breath. She then digs deeper into the feeling of displacement to the thought that everyone around you is perfectly happy and content, but not you. You feel as if you’re the odd one out, you’re unhappy and nobody else is you’ve lost your place and don’t fit in, but the harsh reality of it all is it doesn’t change unless you do something about it, it won’t.
