My Morning Repeat: Radiohead

I've been listening to the same Radiohead song on repeat this morning because the beat and the lyrics are in sync with my mood. This morning, I woke without rest and left a place that I didn't want to leave. My restlessness was because I felt hearts part--protection due to confusion--11 hours earlier than the actual, physical good-byes.

Well, if you're really gonna leave, then it's time to get ta goin.' Unfortunately, this is not a "Live in the NOW" mentality.

Street Spirit (Fade Out) lyrics
Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
IMMERSE YOUR SOUL IN LOVE.
--
"Fade out again." Ack. No, not again.
"Immerse your soul in love." Yes. Immersion, please.

I still need to work on being in the NOW... we all need to work more on being in the NOW. Take advantage of what's right in front of our eyes because tomorrow we may, once again, be worlds apart... otherwise, our morning repeat will be to fade out again.
