Dust, Pieces & Beautiful Lies

13 07 2008

Three lovely songs that carry lots of meaning and emotions with them, each for their very own reason…

Both meant something to me and still do and they just, in some way, represent this world we call Second Life, where tiny bits of dust are taken away by the wind all around the world, moments are fledgling, time an illusion. Where tiny pieces of your life add up, one by one, building something you can’t really comprehend; partly your own creation, mostly shaped by others, just as you do to others as well, knowingly or unknowingly. All in all, its all just a beautiful lie… one we choose to accept, or not.

Thus is the “game”… but is real life any different?

Kansas – Dust in the Wind

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment’s gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

Don’t hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, all your money won’t another minute buy

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

Editors – The Weight of The World

Keep a light on those you love
They will be there when you die
Baby there’s no need to fear
Baby there’s no need to cry

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Will it mean something to someone?

You’ve used my broken bones
Back together we …?
Lift the weight of the world
From my shoulders again

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Will it mean something to someone?

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone

You touch my face
God whispers In my ear
There are tears in my eyes
Love replaces fear
You touch my face
God whispers In my ear…
There are tears in my eyes
Love replaces fear

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Will mean something to someone

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone

30 Seconds to Mars – A Beautiful Lie

Lie awake in bed at night
And think about your life
Do you want to be different?
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
Cuz this is just a game

It’s a beautiful lie
It’s the perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me

It’s time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last
Hide behind an empty face
Don’t ask too much, just say
That this is just a game

Everyone’s looking at me
I’m running around in circles, baby
A quiet desperation’s building higher
I’ve got to remember this is just a game

So beautiful, beautiful…
