Cover art for Our Last Day As Children lyrics by Explosions in the Sky

This is beautiful. The title just fits too well with the song. When i hear this, it always makes me think back to my childhood, and how everyday i only had one wish. To grow up. Back then, there was nothing to worry about. No finances, relationships, or emotional issues to deal with. The only goal in life was to have fun. Then finally, one day comes and something just seems different when you crawl out of bed. The world seems to have a different tint to it, and your eyes begin to become clear to what the world really is. It's not just the small neighborhood you've always lived in. That day, was the last day you and i were children. From that day forth, life would be quite different. Our eyes and minds would begin to see the world as it is; a mess. Corrupt, frightening, and a fierce opponent. At the end of the week, you realize that your life-long dream has finally come true. You've grown up. But, was it really worth the wait? Immediately you begin to miss Childhood the second it walks out the door. The adult life is here. And you have to make a choice. Stand up, look at the world, and charge into it with courage and confidence; or back down in to your corner, never seeing the world as anything but a large bundle of corruption.

Beautiful piece.
