I’m afraid that I cannot go on this game. I’ve held on to it for a long time as if it’s my final destination. It has consumed much of me and now I feel fainted, that is, a kind of nausea about me and this world. I cannot separate myself from it—the game. I cannot distinguish mine from others’ in it and vice versa. Moreover, I myself have been probably lost already. Like straying a labyrinth, indiscernible shadows frequently haunt in my way, and I’m overwhelmed by fear of loss. Where am I? I wonder whether this is I or that is I. At some time I seem to be neither this nor that. Have I here ever been me?
All the pastiche of the world makes us blurred into one another. Make-believe or fake displaces the real that I doubt its existence, nevertheless, pursue. I’m disappearing more and more and the distorted something in me has revealed many beings I don’t know, which soon branches out. Every time in my life I’ve searched for me myself performing perfect strangers and somehow I’ve been barely getting along. Then my space of the stage gets narrower and I think I’d have to down. I’m scared and I don’t think the time has come. I even don’t want to think about it. The time is not mine, however. It is I, not the time, to be subjected.

This is my comment for my good friend Brit:
ReplyDeleteThe lyrics from the song "Nothing else matters" by Metallica
"So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters"
Vlad! I don’t know what to say. . . . You made me deeply moved. The soothing lyrics that we ought to have in mind all the time, yet often be forgotten. I think I have some pessimistic inclination in my nature and it frequently causes my wavering between emotional ups and downs. All is charged on me. :) Thanks, indeed!
ReplyDeleteBrit, I'm very happy that this lyrics changed your mood! I understand you because I have my own ups and downs) I think it's great to have our "something" but maybe because of our sensitive perception of the life we have sometimes emotional waves like ups and downs.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think it's late night now in Korea(or early morning;-), so I wish you to keep your good mood for the all of the day!
