Words

Words are meaningless unless they have a purpose, context, order and perspective. Bearing this in mind i will quote a few lines from some songs:


  1. Brandi Carlile, The Story-"All of these lines across my face, tells you the story of who i am..."
  2. Ana Nalick, Breathe (2am)-"And breathe...just breathe..."
  3. Snow Patrol, Chasing Cars-"We do it all, on our own. We don't need anything, or anyone..."
  4. James Morrison and Nelly Furtado-"You can't play our broken strings, You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel I can't tell you something that ain't real..."
  5. Celine Dion, Taking Chances- "What do you say to taking chances? What do you say to jumping off the edge?Not knowing if there's a solid ground below..."
These are only a few of the many songs that professes humanity and soul. The order of the words gives us our perspective, its purpose and contextual meaning. So what am i trying to say?
I am saying that words are the medium through which we express ourselves and allow people to understand us and who we are, and these words when said can never return to its source.
