Lyrics of the day ….
A funny thing happened along the way while I was playing with the new Zune Software and Zune Marketplace - I rediscovered my music collection. More importantly - I’ve gone back to some of the old songs that I used to listen to all the time as a teenager - and for some of those songs.. I’ve actually begun to listen and understand those words now that I’m supposedly an adult (I suppose life was indeed easier as a teenager/kid eh?).
One such song that I just came across this afternoon was a song from New Order called "All The Way" which is on their album "Technique". Love the lyrics!! Here they are (thanks to sing365.com):
"It doesn’t take a genius to tell me what I am
Or lecture me with poetry
And tell me that I can
I don’t remember what happened yesterday
But I don’t give a damn about what all those people say.
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you’ve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you’ve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone.
It don’t take no Houdini
To tell me what I am
Parasites and literasites
They’d burn me if they can
But I don’t give a damn about what those people say
They pick you up and kick you out
They hurt you every day.
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you’ve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you’ve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone.
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you’ve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you’ve done
To find the truth inside yourself"
I think the words that really stuck out came from the chorus:
"It takes years to find the nerve.. to be apart from what you’ve done..
To find the truth inside yourself.. and not depend on anyone."
