"Extreme Ways"....

I Was recently asked the question "If your life had a Theme Song what would it be?", (I guess that can be traced back to one of Rs blog posts). That's not really what this post is about. (There were certainly some interesting options for that. I said it would probably be "Letter to Me" by Brad Paisley.) Nonetheless, I realised just the other day just how applicable this song is to me. I always sang along every time this played at the end of the Bourne movies, but I never realised how applicable the lyrics were to me. I can give a direct personal meaning to every line of this song. (Admitedly, some of this is a little abstract, not always what the lyrics are "Supposed" to mean, but that hardly matters to me...).


So, Here is "Extreme Ways" by Moby.




And here are the Lyrics. Some of them arent quite right, I know. (Literally every version of them I found online was different! Rrrrggg!) I've put some of the very best lines in Bold.

Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn’t know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I’d owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know, will part
The colors of my sea
Perfect color me

Extreme ways that help me
They help me out late at night
Extreme places I had gone
But never seen any light
Dirty basements dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it then?

I would stand in line for this
There’s always room in life for this

Oh babe, oh babe
Then it fell apart it fell apart

Extreme songs have told me
They held me down every night
I didn’t have much to say
I didn’t give up the light
I closed my eyes and closed myself
And closed my world and never opened
Up to anything
That could get me at all

I had to close down everything
I had to close down my mind
Too many things to cut me
Too much can make me blind
I’ve seen so much in so many places
So many heartaches so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn’t even believe

I would stand in line for this
There's always room in life for this

Oh babe, oh babe
Then it fell apart, it fell apart

Like it always does, always does

Edit: Why do my friends always post something a lot like my posts just before I post them???
