What's your song?

Everybody has their own song, a song which they can relate to their life to, a song reflective of their feelings. A song may remind us of the past, those bittersweet memories. It also invokes nostalgia in some of us.

Anyway my song is "Landslide," covered by the Smashing Pumpkins. I've got nothing better to do so I'd like to share my interpretation of this song.

I took my love, I took it down
-The recent breakup, I gave up. I was so fed up that day of everything. Although I oh so want to take back the things that I've said, the things that I've done. Alas, I cannot.

I climbed a mountain and I turned around
-Reminds me when I was still studying in DLSU, I had everything I wanted back then. Yeah, I got in but the "disease" didn't leave me alone, it kept calling me. I had no choice but to indulge, and indulge I did.

And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
til the landslide brought it down
-I had a major reality check. I realized that I was living a lie, everything just fell down right before my eyes. There was no way to undo the things. I was lost.

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
-I've been talking to God a lot lately. I've been asking the same question everyday; before I sleep, when I wake up, when I'm alone, I always ask Him "why?"

Can the child within my heart rise above?
- Will I ever be free from everything? Let me have my reprieve.

Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
- Uncertainty fills my mind and my heart. I don't know what to do anymore. I feel so lost, my mind is always elsewhere. I don't know if I can still go on. I don't know if I can last. I really don't know. Uncertainty...

Well, Ive been afraid of changing cause I've
Built my life around you
- I didn't want to change anything, we didn't have to. I gave everything up. I gave them all up for you. My world revolved around you. You were my only reason.

But time makes you bolder
- Indeed, time made you bolder...

Even children get older
And I'm getting older, too
- These experiences made me strong in some way. I'm trying my best to hold on. A losing grip.

Well, Ive been afraid of changing cause I've
Built my life around you
Time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older, too

I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain, I turned around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
The landslide brought it down
The landslide brought it down

Emo bitch eh? =P
