Fish Tank
Last night, like many other nights, I had trouble falling asleep.
At 3 AM, I found myself watching the movie Fish Tank, again.
Few movies captures the feeling of being young and bored in the hot summer, doing stupid things and the need for attention like this movie does. And the anger one can only feel as a teenager at war with.. life.
As a critic said: "Brilliantly and sensitively buzzes with life."
As I watch it, I AM a teenager again, bored and just waiting for life to happen. And then it does.
It makes me think of that summer I spent with my best friend M, when we used to listen to 2pac's "R U still down" double CD and the soundtrack for the movie Gridlock'd. We used to take long walks at night, we tried out tagging with some old spray cans we had found in my parents garage, and we tried to smoke cigarettes for the first time. The summer of experimenting and waiting for something exiting to happen.
If you haven't seen the movie yet, you should.

Pieces of what..?
We're back in this familiar place. We've been here so many times before. It's getting old; the whole saga of breaking up but not letting go.
I love and hate you. I adore you, but in fact, I despise you even more. We're past the point of love, we've been so for a long time.
But when we find our self here again, at this dark place where we hurt each other and are ready to finally say goodbye, that's when I turn around and are willing to forgive and forget.
But I can't forgive.
And I definitely cannot forget.
All I am doing is buying time. For what? I act as if I am ready to pick up the scraps that are left, ready to fix it, build it up again, only to find out that the scraps are way too broken. They can never be fixed.
It's like a puzzle with broken pieces, and the pieces will never fit each other again, no matter how hard we try. The final picture that is supposed to be us have holes in it. It's not a pretty sight.
And here I am, again, too coward to just let go and move on.
So I desperately try to gather the scraps from the floor and pick up the pieces.
But pieces of what..?

" ..And leaving me whole.. "
Funny how I rediscovered this beautiful song. I've always liked it, since the first time I heard it. But a couple of nights ago - it was as if I really heard it for the first time.
I love when that happens; when a song you've listened to several times suddenly turns out to be a hidden gem in your playlist.
It was there, all along, you where just not paying attention.

New obsession. Rediscovered, that is.

" There you where in your black dress
Moving slow to the sadness
I could watch you dance for hours
I could take you by my side
Fire burning me up
Desire taking me so much higher
And leaving me whole. "
Moving slow to the sadness
I could watch you dance for hours
I could take you by my side
Fire burning me up
Desire taking me so much higher
And leaving me whole. "
