there are many things that i don't understand. like why people keep pushing the elevator buttons so many times, even when this does not make the machine go faster. or how cockroaches can be so damned hard to kill. or why it always rains on the brokenhearted. or how certain people can be so callous.. and indifferent to the point of cruelty. or the message of these lyrics.haha. i like this song.. but unfortunately, i don't get what it's saying.
selling the drama
live
and to love: a god
and to fear: a flame
and to burn a crowd that has a name
and to right or wrong
and to meek or strong it is known,
just scream it from the wall
i've willed, i've walked,
i've read i've talked,
i know, i know,
i've been here before
hey, now we won't be raped
hey, now we won't be scarred like that
it's the sun that burns
it's the wheel that turns
it's the way we sing that makes 'em dream
and to christ: a cross
and to me: a chair
i will sit and earn the ransom from up here
i've willed, i've walked,
i've read i've talked,
i know, i know,
i've been here before
hey, now we won't be raped
hey, now we won't be scarred like that
hey, now we won't be raped
hey, now we won't be scarred like that
scarred like that
and to love: a god
and to fear: a flame
and to burn a love that has a name
i've willed, i've walked,
i've read i've talked,
i know, i know,
i've been here before
hey, now we won't be raped
hey, now we won't be scarred like that
hey, now we won't be raped
hey, now we won't be scarred like that
maybe i just lack sleep. after all, these past days have been *extremely* tiring for me. i got home from recording around 1am (haha. nakita pa namin si gary v. sa mxn studio. nagpa-pix naman ang mga excited kong choirmates kasama siya. tsk tsk. why am i not starstruck?! there must be something terribly wrong with me..) and i had to wake up early today for an appointment in ortigas. i was able to eat lunch at 5.30pm already (my poor stomach!!!).. then it was off to the prayer meeting.. then to grads ball.
*sigh* it's no wonder i don't get a lot of things..

Hi, I just happened to pass by your blog because I was looking for the artist of the song "stars" and the search engine directed me here. As I was scrolling down your blog I read that you like the "selling the drama" song. I don't know if you still don't get the song's meaning, well I would just like to share my opinion/interpretation of the song. The way I understand it, the song is saying that now, we are aware of what's happening around the world because of much talk about it, because information is being spread, and we arent fools anymore, we are aware of a lot of stuff, what's wrong, so we know and won't do the same mistakes others in the past did. Now we won't be taken advantage of. And for the other lines, its gonna be a long explaination if I explain them all. but its very comprehensible once you get into the mindframe of the writer. I think the composer is very passionate on how he could inspire people and he's like (supposing the composer is a man because I tend to imagine a man because the vocalist is a man)spilling out a lot of his opinions and ideas about stuff around us. Yep, I guess thats about it. I hope I helped :D I wonder why there are a few sites for the lyrics of this song (stars, simply red) thanks to you.
