@[Detroitdregs:50665] @[Detroitdregs:50665] @[Detroitdregs:50665] I need to thank you and I created this account to express my gratitude to you for you sharing your story. I first listened to this song and read your interpretation 10 years ago. I have come back to your words a few times as it is one of the most impactful things I have read online, ever. Today I was listening to an old playlist and this song came on and instantly I remembered your words and came to this site to read them again. To me your words are much like Evey in V for Vendetta finding the letter from Valerie in the wall of the prison cell. Your words mixed with a song that is perfectly beautiful, while both heart breakingly sad and hopeful; your words and this song seem made for each other. I know this song has different interpretations for different people, but your experience of this song and the revelatory nature of what it did for you is hauntingly, achingly, perfect. I know this is your heartbreak you are sharing and an awakening in your life. What makes it beautiful and identifiable for me, even in spite of the horrible experiences you went through is that your experiences across time and distance can touch other people and provide comfort to others to hear that you made it through and grew from this experience. You have given the world a gift with your words. It is hopeful that we as strangers, can read your words and be moved through our experience of our own painful experiences and association with this song and empathize with you. To share with you that there is hope in your revelation. To thank you for sharing a moment that feels as if it is timeless. Your words also bring to memory the rooftop scene in Bladerunner "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched sea-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." I hope your words of your experience last for many years to help others. Wherever you are, I hope you are well and wish you the best. |
