Free to stand beside the ocean in moonlight.

"Free to stand beside the ocean in moonlight
And light myself a smoke beneath the dark Atlantic sky."

I do realize that I have done Yellowcard lyrics before, but these lines have stuck with me. They are from the song "Back Home" by Yellowcard. Yes, they are from their Ocean Avenue album, but I encourage you to listen to the acoustic version of this song. 

No, I do not smoke, but the image that these words illustrates in my mind makes sense. I see a person standing on the beach, thinking. This person is feeling completely alone. Whether they no longer have someone in their life or they just do not feel like they belong in the world, they have no one. I specifically think of myself when I listen to this song. I think of all of the times when I have felt entirely alone. I think of when no one can truly understand what I am going through, and I feel so incredibly detached from the world.

"Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky
Sometimes I wish it would rain here."

Peace and Love. Leah.

We'll go home and start again.

"When we're old and near the end.
We'll go home and start again."


These lines are from the song "Come to Me" by the Goo Goo Dolls. I cannot even begin to explain how much I love this song. It just is one of those song that makes you feel good. I think these lines in particular make me think of a couple who has went on adventures together. It illustrates the simple idea of growing old with someone. I have interpreted these lines two different ways. The first being more literal, a couple grows old and returns to the town in which they met or grew up. The second being death and the idea of starting again. I like the idea of the latter more. If you have not heard this song, give it a listen.

P.S.- I apologize for not having posted in a while. Life happened. 

Peace and Love. Leah.
