Thirty-Three

What keeps me busy? Work. What keeps me busy after? It depends. Right now, im caught between 2 things - playing a new game called Air Rivals and trying to become a DJ in a chatroom of some chat program.

i dug this song out of my mp3 collection - call it nostalgia, but i think the 90's alternative scene really was the genre's golden moment. the same way i now tend to think it was my golden moment too...

pretty ironic how things turn out - i was happily enjoying life, growing up with the melancholic, depressive songs of the 90's Alternative like the song below. now, the meaning of those songs caught up with the present me. so this is why they were called melancholic - i think ill be using the word for a while...

i just hope i have enough strength to last.


Thirty-Three (Smashing Pumpkins)

Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humor me before I have to go

Deep in thought, I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again

I know I can't be late
Supper's waiting on the table

Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold

On my own

The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk

Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again

I know I'll make it
Love can last forever
Graceful swans of never
Topple to the earth
And you

Can make it last forever, you
Can make it last forever, you
Can make it last

And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world

I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends

Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return

I'll make the effort
Love can last forever
Graceful swans of never
Topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse
Tomorrow's just an excuse and you
Can make it last, forever you
Can make it last, forever you
Can make it last, forever you

Forever, you...
