School of Seven Bells, “Half Asleep”

03.08.09 | 2 Comments

This song is great. This band is great.
The lyrics resonate consistent with my day to day lately.

Its hard not to let the days run away. At this age it seems like the future is always stealing my attention, but I’m not really sure why.  I feel like I’m always waiting.

Sometimes I go whole days
listening bored, half sleep
I won’t say anything
that’s worth a thing to me
One day, suddenly, time
took a turn that once felt so brief
I blinked to see polite ghosts fading quickly

What begins as an unguarded
train of thoughts slowly can become
an addiction to the slumber
of disconnection and the resonance
of memory that no longer has a shape
but keeps you numb through
the hours tills gone is another day

Be aware, my darling
these things I say I mean
are just traces of something
I long to feel again
I see our time expand
in the air almost forcibly,
spreading thinner till it dissolves completely
