Blinding

The things you thought you wanted became obsolete once you've got it in the palm of your hand, dull and seemingly unworthy once you've tasted and quenched the curiosity you had.

Or is it just us humans that would never be satisfied with what we already have.

This is the life that you prayed for

But now all the lights are blinding you

These are the moments people live for

But your heart is hard to what's surrounding you

We are often blinded by our ideals about how life should play out, how things should go, how everything must proceed according to plan. Everything we designed was to suit those ideals we've conceived in our heads. But then again, what would we do once we got it all? Become satisfied? How very unlikely.

Human would never be satisfied. It is undeniable, it is in our nature. Some people might find peace in accepting things for the way they are, but that is more of the hard work of self-restraint than just plainly accepting. Reality has to hit first before we can fully welcome acceptance.

I found this rather interesting song right at the peak of my saturation where everything just looked painfully constant and numbing. It was mind-opening. There is nothing overly impressive about the song, the lyrics are simple, the tunes are just quite catchy. But sometimes, the simplest of thing could be what we're actually looking for. And for me, I was looking for the meaning of reaching fame and glory. The answer: it was all empty.

I'm tired of empty smiles and nights alone

I'm sick of these paper stars, illuminating this hollow globe

Surrounded by your eyes, I almost want to float

Away, away

I'm filled by raising hands until the skies

But these moments are so rare, are like diamonds in disguise

Although my mind is here, my heart just wants to fly

Away, away

Away, away
Away, away

Away, away

JAKWOB- BLINDING

I will try translating the meaning behind the lyrics, you can judge anyway you want it.

Paper stars is a parable to transitory fame or wealth whilst the hollow globe is another term for the current state of our world. It is hollow in some sense, full of people donning on masks to impress others and celebrities looking gorgeous because of airbrushes. It is necessary, it is part of our live. After all, many chosen to be lied than to be told the truth. Many prefer to live in fantasy than to face reality.

Raising hands are people cheering at you, the rest you can perceive yourselves. Decide if the song is mind-opening, or just quite flimsy to inspiring. Or unimportant, really.

This is irrelevant.

I noticed that I sounded rather haughty or uncaring or even sarcastic when answering some of the comments received in my prior posts. Do not take those replies into heart, I was just being lazy or annoyed at the spams I obtained. Don't bother commenting if you didn't even read the post. Don't bother commenting if your intention was only to plaster your link in the hope that I would follow you because I wouldn't and I don't particularly care about following or being followed. I don't even know how to follow blogs I am that stupid.

This blog is only for me indulging in self-satisfaction. That's why the name is indulgement, though there is really no such word as that in the dictionary but then again, who cares. I love thought-out comments, not pointless praises.
