Words

Hello... i'm into my second week of unemployment... which i'm not going to lie.... is a lot of fun lately.

I seriously can't understand people who say they would carry on their job if they won the lottery. Unless they have a really cool job of course. I always have loads of things I can do and learn. And lots of stuff I can create using WORDS.

It annoys me when people say action speaks louder than words. If that's so, why are they telling me and not showing me. (hehe)

Words have an amazing power, in that they can convey and produce a wide range of emotion, simply by the order they are placed or the pronunciation and punctuation. I went to see Oleanna (the play) last night. David Mamet is an absolute genius with his perfection on punctuation.

Anyway, one thing i LOVE is stuff with hidden deep meanings..... My favourite poetry in music is the band The Killers.... Most people don't know that their music has hidden meaning... so here is just as an example...from Day and Age.....

HUMAN is a truly beautiful song about the battle between being afraid to be different and just going along with what society says, or following the difficult and brave route of following what we truly feel in side - being human.

"Are we human or are we dancer?" refers to . are we human beings or do we just dance along with what we're told to (society)?

Like all good philosophical questions, it is asked with great emotion and spiritual importance ("i'm on my knees, looking for the answer") but does not drill people with the answer...

Very inspirational, about the brevery of being human in a world of dancers:
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes, clear your heart
Cut the cord

Erm, this verse is about real human qualities often overlooked...
Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know

Similarly, this verse is about being one of society's "dancer"s and not feeling ALIVE.

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know, is your heart still beating?

So yeah, in conclusion:

it is about the fundamental feeling of being ALIVE
versus just going with the flow

Are we human or are we dancer? :-)
