There’s only so long you can stay wrapped up in your own little worries. That was the river. This is the sea.
Just watch out for the deep waters.
Not sure what this means, but I think it must be a delphic oracle.
jwb
I think my writing cryptic blog entries is one of the warning signs of blog cheesiness.
So let me just really jump into the deep cheese and post the entire set of lyrics to the song:
The Waterboys
“This is the Sea”
These things you keep
Youíd better throw them away
You wanna turn your back
On your soulless days
Once you were tethered
And now you are free
Once you were tethered
Well now you are free
That was the river
This is the sea!
Now if youíre feeliní weary
If youíve been alone too long
Maybe youíve been suffering from
A few too many
Plans that have gone wrong
And youíre trying to remember
How fine your life used to be
Running around banging your drum
Like itís 1973
Well that was the river
This is the sea!
Now you say youíve got trouble
You say youíve got pain
You sayíve got nothing left to believe in
Nothing to hold on to
Nothing to trust
Nothing but chains
Youíre scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories
Scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories
But that was the river
This is the sea!
Now I can see you wavering
As you try to decide
Youíve got a war in your head
And itís tearing you up inside
Youíre trying to make sense
Of something that you just canít see
Trying to make sense now
And you know you once held the key
But that was the river
And this is the sea!
Now I hear thereís a train
Itís coming on down the line
Itís yours if you hurry
Youíve got still enough time
And you donít need no ticket
And you donít pay no fee
No you donít need no ticket
You donít pay no fee
Because that was the river
And this is the sea!
Behold the sea!
Hehe but cryptic blog entries are fun! Sometimes I would post random statistical results from my thesis and then write “Yeah baby!” after them.
It led to some interesting comments. =)
