Life Soundtrack for Today
Woman In Chains
Tears for Fears
You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Calls her man the great white hope
Says shes fine, shell always cope
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor mans deal
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
Its a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Trades her soul as skin and bones
Sells the only thing she owns
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Men of stone
Men of stone
Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well you know what I mean
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Its under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it apart but I wont understand
I will not accept the greatness of man
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
So free her
So free her
Tears for Fears
You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Calls her man the great white hope
Says shes fine, shell always cope
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor mans deal
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
Its a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Trades her soul as skin and bones
Sells the only thing she owns
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Men of stone
Men of stone
Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well you know what I mean
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Its under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it apart but I wont understand
I will not accept the greatness of man
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
So free her
So free her
I can't breathe. I seem to be chained to something and I can't seem to let myself loose. I should've never passed-up on that Bohol vacation.
...
I find it funny that every time I feel something, I always find the right song that mirrors my sentiments. I've heard this song since only-God-knows-when and only-God-knows-how-many-times. It's like I grew up with it. I hart this song.

T.G.I.S.?
It's the last day of work for this week. Is this supposed to make me feel relieved? It should, that is if only I could make my mind stop thinking for a while. I'm getting used to working and studying all the time. Thinking that I have time to kill over the weekend makes me feel sick. So does that make me a workaholic now? What should I do to make me stop thinking of the things that I should stop thinking about over the weekend, when I'm not going to do anything? Play all day with my kids? Nice. A movie marathon at night? Good idea. Finish Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian before going to sleep? Possible. Now, can anybody tell me how not to dream bad dreams when sleeping?! Scratch that. Can anybody tell me how to get a prescription for zzzzzzzz pills even if I'm not an insomniac?! I just want to get a goodnight's sleep. I could use some after years of not being able to sleep well. Lastly, how many question marks are there on this blog entry?:P
Bittersweet Symphony
The Verve
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road
I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah
No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mindI am here in my mind
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,no,no,no,no,no(fading away)
Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the nextI can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change it
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
Trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah
You know I can't change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change my mind
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,no, no, no
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
That you've ever been down
That you've ever been down
