Right Where We Belong?
I listen to a lot of music; make that A LOT of music. Most of the time I hardly pay attention to the lyrics but some songs catch you off-guard. The one-man band Nine Inch Nails best known for their industrial rock came out with this song called "Right Where It Belongs"; some of the lyrics of which I am quoting below. Make a lot of sense, don't they?
See the animal in his cage that you built,
Are you sure what side you're on?
....
What if everything around you,
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks,
Would you find yourself...find yourself afraid to see?
....
What if all the world's inside of your head?
Just creations of your own
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you're really all alone
You can live in this illusion,
You can choose to believe.
You keep looking but you can't find the woods,
While you're hiding in the trees
See the animal in his cage that you built,
Are you sure what side you're on?
....
What if everything around you,
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks,
Would you find yourself...find yourself afraid to see?
....
What if all the world's inside of your head?
Just creations of your own
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you're really all alone
You can live in this illusion,
You can choose to believe.
You keep looking but you can't find the woods,
While you're hiding in the trees

"I am the voice inside your head
and I control you
I am the lover in your bed
and I control you
I am the sex that you provide
and I control you
I am the hate you try to hide
and I control you
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr self destruct"

HI!
It's nice to know there are still songs out there which you can listen.
I SOmetimes do find a personal connection to some songs, especially when they help you find more depth and meaning!
