Song of the Week



i found this band when i was looking at the music credits for the Invisible. i looked up the video for this song, and i really liked it... great movie, too.

Fashionably Uninvited
Mellowdrone
Box (?)

All of these folks
On the tv have their reasons
Like you on your hill
Consuming en masse with your buddies

Evertyime I watch them all go by
I take in a breath and let out a sigh
I don't know how much of this
i can handle

Excuse me is my rant taking too long?
Is it getting in the way of this lovely song?
Just promise me that you'll never leave

I'd die if you leave me

When I was young
All of these things didn't matter
But now times have changed
And I wasn't paying attention

So fuck you and your mass media toys
That make being alive seem like a chore
I don't know how much of this i can handle

Excuse me is my rant taking too long?
Is it getting in the way of this lovely song?
Just promise me that you'll never leave

I'd die if you leave me

navigating around the school hallways and seeing the people walk by, i look into their faces. i notice their hair color, whether they wear glasses, what color eyes they have, who they walk with... its corny, but i try to look past all of that, too. once and awhile its nice for someone as shy as me to pass another person in the hall, a complete stranger no less, who dares to make eye contact and sends my heart into flutters. i can't help thinking, "that person saw me." but its not really the act of "seeing" itself, its more the act of "searching," that means most to me. i feel lost. i feel disposable; a picture frame that gets a scratch across the glass and is thrown away, just to be replaced. i don't really have a problem with that, i don't feel like i need to be pitied or ... that i need to seek attention. its the replacement that bothers me. i want to offer something that no one else can, i just haven't found that thing yet. this is just the ramblings of a high school no one who likes to watch rather then do. i like to think of myself as rather quiet, yet excitable and fun to be around. but there's always that underlying feeling of unease and awkwardness, that i've only been able to overcome a few times in my life. i don't want to change who i am. i don't want others to pretend to see in me what they don't. i want people to see the bad side of me, and spend the time searching for the good. i look for the best in others, and often times face the flaws in myself. welcome to my public diary...
