Day 15: A Song That Describes Me

-

Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park from Meteora (2003)


It defines my beliefs more than me as a person, which I think is more important. If I were to pick a song that describes me then it would have to be something that I wrote. But I digress. My beliefs, about each person finding their own destiny, that you make your own destiny and nothing is written in stone, fate is just an excuse, that the consequences to your actions define the person that you are, that you are the only one in charge and if you take control of your life then you will find yourself. All of it is in this song. The line 'Somewhere I Belong' haunts me. It truly does. My first blog is named after this song, as is my first attempt at a novel. Three words that made me reconsider and understand myself. So yes, this song defines me.







Written by: Bennington, Chester; Shinoda, Mike; Bourdon, Rob; Delson, Brad; Farrell, Darren; Hahn, Joseph


(When this began) I had nothing to say and I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused) And I let it all out to find that I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me) But all that they can see the words revealed is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose) Just stuck, hollow and alone and the fault is my own, and the fault is my own


I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long (Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I’ve got nothing to say I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
(I was confused) Looking everywhere only to find that it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I) What do I have but negativity ’cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose) Nothing to gain, hollow and alone and the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long (Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long (Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen

This is not exactly a review - because I don't know the language well enough to write a German review, but I will, in due time. Reviewing the Harry Potter books would take its toll on me because of the details in it - the same goes for the Lord of the Rings. Maybe if I'd  reviewed them as I read them it would've made it easier but... Anyway. Harry Potter in Deutsch . I'm re-learning the language - signed up for the A1 level once again because I haven't retained what I learned three years ago. I can understand random words and simple sentences and make wild guesses at what the more complex sentences convey, but I would like to know the grammar, the structure and the foundation of the language so that I may indulge in German literature. These being my baby steps towards reading Goethe's Faust in German. I thought I'd start with something simple. Fairy tales, not so much, so I picked up a book that I know very well - Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen - wh

The Magician's Death

Another P. C. Doherty historical mystery, this time set in medieval England, in the early 14th century and towards the end of the reign of Edward I . The focus is on his continual efforts to trump Philip IV of France , and the works of Roger Bacon . Sir Hugh Corbett , Keeper of the Secret Seal and the eyes and ears of King Edward I, serves as the intelligent academic and criminologist. It begins, as every good mystery should, with a death, here following a theft of a copy of Bacon's Secretus Secretorum (a lovely play on Secretum Secretorum ) from the French. The basis of the plot? Decode Bacon's, a priest and scientist, work by finding the key to his book because it's all written in code, and ultimately shift the balances of power in the favor of the one that makes the discovery first! Both Kings send envoys, academics led by a shrewd politician, to try and figure this out through mutual cooperation, but foul play is suspected in achieving these ends as people begin to die

There & Back Again

"Going home?" asks Ennis, a friendly grin on his face as I shuffle into the back seat of his Uber.  "Yes!"  "Belltown?" Ennis swerves sharply to the right from the middle lane with the intention of getting on the I-520 ramp from Bellevue to Seattle. I pause before I answer. "It was home," I s ay. "But I'm moving back to Chicago in two hours." To say that I'm delighted would be completely accurate. But it does come at some emotional cost, not to mention the exhaustion and mental tussle of a cross-country move. West Seattle 22 months in the Pacific Northwestern city of Seattle has been educational and interesting, and expensive too if I factor in the 13 trips I made to Chicago in the time. I moved for work, particularly for the people that I'd be working with, and not for any other reason (more of that tearful rip here ). And that is what I will miss most. So while it's not as heart-wrenching as my pr
