| Depeche Mode – New Dress Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| And still, these days people are more fascinated with what Meghan Markle or Kate Middleton are wearing, versus famine, disease, or heck, even any of their accomplishments. Same with actors, people care more about the shallow and superficial, like their dress and its cost, than the substance and achievements of the person. The world could be falling apart, everything going to hell in a hand basket, but people would only notice and focus on someone's appearance or gossip, nothing else would matter! | |
| The Cure – A Chain of Flowers Lyrics | 8 years ago |

This song resonates with me, and my personal situation. My best friend has an aggressive form of cancer that has spread. In the meantime, he went away -- from one day to the next, he abruptly left me to receive cancer treatment in another state. We have been best friends for 10 years, something that is difficult for me as I don't easily form attachments to people out of fear of rejection and being hurt. We'd spend every weekend together. Now, I feel so alone, like the song says. I wake up cold, wondering what is going on, and if I will ever see him again. Weekends spent on road trips and hiking are now replaced by sitting at home on the weekend, he and I both scared of the future, crying on the phone. We used to enjoy visiting old historic homes and churches, sometimes I'd sneak into a church to take photos, while he looked for me, wondering where I went, but sometimes he'd do that to me, while I was undecided about going into the church in my shorts. I thought it was funny that the song referenced a church too. Most of our fun times took place during the carefree months of summer. We were planning to pitch in to buy a kayak together for next summer and just like that, everything just changed, in an instant. He actually said to me he wanted his old life back, all he wants is our summers. Again, this reminded me of this song. I have to put on a brave face for his sake, pretend everything will be fine, but in reality, I am scared of what the future may hold, and cannot imagine the rest of my life without my friend. Yes, he makes me so afraid but will never tell him so. |
