on my way

06 November 2006

Ugh... after taking the social studies paper, I feel like my IQ is 50 instead (refer to yesterday's entry). Thankfully, maths was a breeze. I would post a really controversial comment about students in other countries taking 'O' levels, but I will be nice and stow it :]

I am actually in the mood for some Motown or R&B (no, not gangsta rap) now... but this caught my ears. Some people listen to music to escape, but I listen to music for empathy. Singing out one's feelings is pretty immature... but one cannot be too stiff and precocious, yes? I feel a flu coming on. Luckily there are no papers tomorrow, or I would be sneezing all over my paper.

Dashboard Confessional - Vindicated

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated, I am...

Vindicated, I am selfish
I am wrong I am right
I swear I'm right I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

So clear...
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me
So isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that I am...

Vindicated, I am selfish
I am wrong I am right
I swear I'm right I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in...
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away...
