Finding the Meaning to the Meaningless

What You Know; Two Door Cinema Club

In a few weeks, I will get time

To realize it's right before my eyes
And I can take it, if it's what I want to do

I am leaving, this is starting
To feel like it's right before my eyes
And I can taste it, it's my sweet beginning

And I can tell just what you want
You don't want to be alone
You don't want to be alone

And I can't say it's what you know
But you've known it the whole time
Yeah, you've known it the whole time

Maybe next year I'll have no time
To think about the questions to address
Am I the one to try to stop the fire?

I wouldn't test you
I'm not the best you could have attained
Why try anything?
I will get there, just remember I know

And I can tell just what you want
You don't want to be alone
You don't want to be alone

And I can't say it's what you know
But you've known it the whole time
Yeah, you've known it the whole time

And I can tell just what you want
You don't want to be alone
You don't want to be alone

And I can't say it's what you know
But you've known it the whole time
Yeah, you've known it the whole time

    

     My end of the week blog is here to help myself sum up this whirlwind of a week. The song I chose to help me do this, was What You Know by Two Door Cinema Club. I really love this song. Its lyrics and awesome beat make it an amazing song. One of the problems professed by the band in this song is just the need to think, or the amount of things to think about. Thinking can be one the most dangerous things to our mind. Not because it can cause an eruption because of too many things being processed (though it seems that happens quite often), but because when we entertain a thought in our minds, we continue to entertain it; we never can let go of it with ease. It just stays there, and sometimes it gnarls at the inner most points of your soul until you can't help but screaming.

     Did you ever notice that when you think and think, your thoughts rarely amount to something? They just stay there dormant for awhile? Or maybe in the end you find that what you had been thinking about was meaningless or had no true answer to it? It's these types of things that cause us stress and eventually defeat us. Just today I was in my Spanish class when I was asked how I was for a warm-up. I thought about it for a moment, and just found nothing. I felt nothing. I had realized that I had been thinking too much, that I had just felt like I was in a fog. It was as if all day I was going through my routine, not thinking, not even being aware of my day. My brain was just burned out, so therefore I was too. I had gotten home after all of this, and just felt like I needed to cry. There was no reason, after all, I hadn't been able to think, and my day wasn't even that bad. But whatever was still left in my thoughts from days before, made me feel like I was going to break down and just scream. Unfortunately, there is no way to escape thinking. It's inevitable. As far as stopping yourself from feeling like I had felt today, I do not know of a way to escape it, but if you do, please let me in on your secret! 

     The song is analyzing the situation of two people, and whether they're in love or not. Two Door Cinema Club seems to have come to accept that they're thoughts were going to take a bit to process, but first they'll have to think of other things first, "In a few weeks, I will get time, to realize it's right before my eyes." To me they're saying to themselves what I can't: Let me take my time so I don't stress out over this. It seems that my mind is my worst enemy, and I feel impelled to constantly evoke it, even when I don't want to.
