Just yesterday i saw a blog from a silly girl who posted d. frampton's song called "dont kick the chair" from her album ReD.
I first heard this song in Starbucks after slurping and practically licking off the SBs' table because my cup had exploded, and thought to myself " --man oh man are the lyrics in this song juvenile --" boy was i wrong...partly
People usually post lyrics which best reflects what they feel, or have felt in the past. There is no right or wrong answer to "which part of the song best reflects you?" Its all contextual --
Ironically, this girl picked the part of the song that i felt was most juvenile. Specifically the part where it goes "...ever felt love, really really felt love...but right before you know it you find out in a moment you're gonna have to say goodbye.."
I honestly played the song for a second time and carefully listened to how she sang those lyrics; as if i knew anything about singing or acoustics, but i guess those lyrics just didn't "move" me. Yes i have felt love, yes it is real love, but no i didn't feel the frustration of kicking the chair or have the privilege of saying "goodbye". The part that puzzles me the most is how lyricist make separation between L.birds such a negative thing. In a sense i can understand where the negativity comes from because if you separate suddenly (regardless of reason) you wont be able to see them or talk to them for yourself. However, i believe the reason why people dwell on separation is that they think it is impossible to find someone else as compatible ever again. People believing that a relationship needs to be together all of the time, and that a conflict MUST have a solution to be found as fast as possible, or else their relationship is "un-salvageable"(word?!); this is just plain juvenile irrational.
Food for thought-- positive side is that you can FINALLY catch up with yourself and not have to worry about the problems that may arise while you're trying to enjoy your life. I truly think that it is best to have a separation when appropriate, so that you - alone can really reflect on what went wrong. Instead of trying to sand things down together with your significant other. Plus working alone (assuming progress) and realizing what went wrong really does help with your relationship with family and friends.
The part that really rang a bell and got me thinking about how it could end and how it all started was summed up by frampton and those lines "have you ever felt like you’re living in a spot light searching for the real you..." Isn't it obvious? I'm still searching for the real me...i think finding the real me is more important that anything i can think of...no?
