be-musings

This song was playing amongst some others over lunch. Matthew said "Mom, what does it say?" So I paraphrased the chorus, which was the only part I had ever paid attention to. My summary for the 7 year old brain was "Why should we want to enjoy life?" Your paraphrase might be different, but it worked for the moment. Matthew asked "Why mom?" I waited a moment, then he answered his own question. "Is it because God made us and we should be happy that he did?" Too profound for me to add to, I said "That's absolutely right Matthew." Sometimes I can take lessons from him in his simplicity of belief and the gospel.

You come into the threshold of another starless night of fear
You're running from the demons that would drag you down again
Illusions of the world are spinning out of time and frame and synchronicity
You're so sad
You're such a sad eyed girl
You're so sad in your sub-plot

CHORUS:
What is this, what is this, this mess of my existence is
All these politics of life and death and relevance
It's my existence

Another morning it comes running up your bedpost with the wind
You face yourself just like you always do, time and time again
The mortal coil of image, inner peace and satisfaction
And so you keep it on the down-low
Hiding all the secrets that are down below
And so you keep it on the down-low
Tell me baby was it worth it all

CHORUS

Oh just take it all, make it work and make some sense
Just take it all
You're my existence
You're my existence
