I love it when a song stops you dead in your tracks and speaks so hard to what you're going through. It really speaks to the universality of the human experience and for me it makes me feel far less alone, knowing that other people have felt the same as me...
You know it's hard to be authentic with people. You have a facade to hold up and it's scary maybe presenting as someone who is different than the world anticipates. If you can afford a therapist and if your therapist is skilled, you can settle into a connection with another who is trained to take you as you are. The rest of the world? Not so much.
I remember how this song struck me - but not being a native English speaker, it was more the music that moved me than the lyrics. Thanks for sharing your interpretation, Jonathan!
Numbed, desensitized,
we seem sunrise to sunset.
When will we wake up?
When will we wake up?
Will it be in time for our
species survival?
When? I don't know. But, together, that's how.
From their unity,
browns, greens, water, make compost,
fertilize the soil.
From our unity,
virtues shall germinate, grow,
feed, help heal the ground.
it breathes too

Music does this to me so often. It's the thing that reconnects me the fastest.
