The trick to life…

194 Views 4 Comments

This song is my theme song right now, I sing it when I get upset or hurt, I sing it out loud.  For me it’s about not expecting anything, living and breathing with permanent acceptance for what is and for what can not or will not change.

If it weren’t for a select few people right this minute I would be more broken hearted than imaginable, you have given me faith in the human race, faith in people, faith that not everyone is as I know them to be.  You show me a different reality, a reality that keeps me sane.

I will not explain further than that only to say thank you to the people in the second paragraph and a royal thank you for the lessons those in the first have taught me.  I have finally learnt that second, third, hundreth chances just don’t work.

Time for a new theme song, hit me with the best you got…

Thanks!

Everything you love turns to dust,
You’d make more of it but you felt rushed,
By all that’s periphary,
You held tight, but on the contrary,

The trick to life is not to get too attached to it,
The trick to life is not to get too attached to it,

You’d kill for answers but learn to live with,
Questions, Who what why how and if,
I’ll sit back detached tear our your hair,
Oh but on the contrary…

The trick to life is not to get too attached to it,
The trick to life is not to get too attached to it,

Everyone you love turns to dust,
You’d jump off the edge but you felt pushed,
By all that’s unnecessary,
You tread but you’re off on the wrong foot,

The trick to life is not to get too attached to it,
The trick to life is not to get too attached to it,
The trick to life is not to get too attached to it,

Don’t get attached to, attached to life,
Don’t get attached to, attached to life,

The trick to life is not to get too attached to it,
The trick to life is not to get too attached to it,

Don’t look your life passed you by,
Cos you’re too attached to it,
Don’t look your life passed you by,
Cos you’re too attached to it

    How much more of a truth can it be? Indeed it is that when we are attached to Life, Life slips away and we don’t even realize it…thanks for reminding me, darls 😀
