It's My Party

A Genesis song just completely and totally depressed me. These lyrics are so sad. I guess I never took the time to really listen. I’m not sure who would feel more pain in this song, the singer or the person getting the message. Horrible. Hopefully I won’t have to be one half of this scenario. Ever.

Need I say I love you
Need I say I care
Need I say that emotions,
Something we don’t share
I don’t want to be sitting here
Trying to deceive you
Cos you know I know baby
That I don’t wanna go.

We cannot live together
We cannot live apart
Thats the situation
I’ve known it from the start
Every time that I look at you
I can see the future
Cos you know I know babe
That I don’t wanna go.

Throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
Is there nothing that I can say
To make you change your mind
I watch the world go round and round
And see mine turning upside down
You’re throwing it all away.

Now who will light up the darkness
Who will hold your hand
Who will find you the answers
When you don’t understand
Why should I have to be the one
Who has to convince you
Cos you know I know baby
That I don’t wanna go.

Someday you’ll be sorry
Someday when you’re free
Memories will remind you
That our love was meant to be
Late at night when you call my name
The only sound you’ll hear
Is the sound of your voice calling
Calling after me.

Just throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
Theres nothing I can say
We’re throwing it all away
Yes we’re throwing it all away

Sometimes ‘Hysteria’ by Def Leppard randomly shuffles across my pod, and it embeds me deep within someone – as well as within myself. And it’s deep. Deep, in words I can’t explain.

I wonder if there’s anyone out there who listens to it and feels the same way about me. And I wonder only because if they feel the way I do about mgb when I listen to it, wow – those are some pretty serious feelings. Feelings a few straight doubles won’t cure. I sincerely hope there isn’t. That’s a pain I wouldn’t wish upon my worst frenemy.

I gotta know tonight.. if you’re alone tonight…

I saw this traffic map on the news recently – projected airplane volume over the US. I find it to be very useful.
