decision

i have decided that one of the most wonderful feelings in this world is the lightness that makes you fly after a heavy weight's been lifted off your shoulders.

like after an exam.
like after work.
like after telling the truth.
like escaping the suffocating company of unlikable people.
like finding something you thought was lost.

any more ideas? feel free to add on.

p.s. with regards to my previous post, thank you all for your concern. i'm not depressed or anything...sometimes, i do like to dwell on melancholy - it makes life poignantly beautiful.

i think it's sort of like an addiction.

to see, feel and appreciate the quiet sorrows of life, and then go on to savour, to a greater extent, happiness.

U2 - stuck in a moment

i think you know how
sometimes
a certain song from a certain time
inadvertently comes back and speaks to you
overwhelms you with emotions so strong
you can't help but fall in love with it
and then it just doesn't go away
for quite a while



"Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" is a single release from U2's 2000 album, All That You Can't Leave Behind. It has gospel-tinged melodies and saccharine guitar leads. It won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 2002.
U2's lead singer Bono wrote the song about the suicide of his close friend Michael Hutchence, the late lead singer of the band INXS. The song is written in the form of an argument about suicide in which Bono tries to convince Hutchence of the act's foolishness.
Bono characterized the song as a fight between friends, which he felt guilty for never having with Hutchence. "It's a row between mates. You're kinda trying to wake them up out of an idea. In my case it's a row I didn't have while he was alive. I feel the biggest respect I could pay to him was not to write some stupid soppy f**king song, so I wrote a really tough, nasty little number, slapping him around the head. And I'm sorry, but that's how it came out of me." --Bono, in Rolling Stone (November 3, 2005 issue).


I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you. Ooh.
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
'Cause tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

You are such a fool
To worry like you do.. Oh
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh lord look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you cant gt out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass

疯狂世界

我差点忘了

原来毫无顾忌地疯狂，那么爽

长大了，社会对于大人定下了很多很多规则

尤其在这里，很多人、事、物都有一定的模子

应该、不应该；对、不对，由主宰权利与影响的单位决定

从此就成为大人行动时的束缚

幸好，有一些时候，这些束缚是可以摆脱的

如果你要的话

在办公室、巴士上、地铁站、电影院，不可能站在椅子上欢呼

在天团的演唱会上，就可以

站在椅子上原本是要更清楚看到舞台（因为很早订的最贵的票，买到了最狭窄、离舞台一段距离的座位）

但当大家也都站在椅子上时，优势就抵消了

不过，站在椅子上的感觉，就好像往上一跳过后，奇迹般地没有立刻着地，反地心引力漂浮在半空中

这种感觉，就是high吧。
