I was sitting in this hospital cafe when this song came on.
''And I'd give up forever to touch you.
'cause I know that you'd feel me somehow.
You are the closest to heaven that I'd ever be.
And I don't want to go home right now.
All I can taste is this moment.
All I can breathe is your life.
Sooner or later it's over.
I just don't wanna miss you tonight.
And I don't want the world to see me.
Cause I don't think that they would understand.
When everything's meant to be broken.
I just want you to know who I am''
And although I love this song in general, the last two lines of it are my favorite. I feel they contain a lot of truth within it in life, we have a facade with everyone that we meet or are with, and we cannot speak our truth in front of them. It would feel so liberating to say your truth out loud to someone! Just the simple fact of saying it.
I feel that there is a step-wise progression of desire in this particular regard:
To not be ridiculed for who you are. Do no harm.
To be known for who you are. Silent audience.
To be accepted for who you are! Nodding audience.
To be celebrated for who you are !! Someone to dance with you. Someone to celebrate life as you see it/as you both see it, with you!!
