Racoon – Close Your Eyes Lyrics 12 years ago
every time I hear this song I think of my sister who lives with a different family. I love her very very much, but we don't get to see each other often. it reminds me of her because she has had a tuff time, and her family is no help, she feels out of place among them. they laugh at her and her dreams, our dreams. she's really close to breaking again. a lot of times, i'm on the phone, trying to "dry up her tears" with only my voice, cuz I can't be there to comfort her.

I always want her to know that no matter how hard it gets, it'll get better. that any dream or wish she has will come true, all she has to do is follow. and that it's not all bad. and to never give up.

Kelly Clarkson – Breakaway Lyrics 12 years ago
this song is me and my sister. I was a born and raised Cali, then moved to WA. she's only ever known the rain. both of us never get listened to, and we both suffer from some level of depression, mine being the more severe kind. I love her very much, and that is why I am alive today. but this is why its us:

"Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreamin' of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray"

we both live in small towns, separate. she lives with a different family. Her's is a religious one, and while I am not religious, I do pray that she'll be happy someday, and she does the same for me. we have a lot of dreams, and often times are laughed at for them. it gets really hard sometimes.

"Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray
I could breakaway"

we both try to be heard, to let people know that we're here, and we matter, but no one ever pays attention, not even our families. we both feel out of place in them, like we don't belong. we both want to leave so badly.


"Want to feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane
Faraway
And breakaway"

I've always told her what Cali was like, and how much I loved it. So, we want to move there someday, the two of us. we want to see the world, we just want to get far away. also considering she lives by a trainstation, so when she hears it, she wishes we could hop on it and leave.

"Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging 'round revolvin' doors
Maybe I don't know where they take me
But gotta keep movin' on
Movin' on
Fly away
Breakaway"

Like I said, we want to see the world. see things you wouldn't in a small town.

"I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Breakaway
Breakaway "

like I said, we want to leave. we want to go on adventures and see new things, I want to show her the place I grew up. although, we don't really have anyone we "Love" , such as family or friends so much as we only have eachother.

If you read this whole thing, congrats. :)
