… was awesome.
I went with my girl friend to a metal show on Friday, which is always loads of fun. Being in the middle of many sweaty bodies might seem disgusting, but when at a show it’s one of the most exciting places to be. Throwing my hands and head everywhere is one of the top stress-relievers.
My dumbass parked the truck on an unpaved hill. Right next to a wall. I questioned it when I arrived but there was no place else to park - so I took my chances. As we left, the truck got stuck. My tires kept spinning and it wasn’t getting anywhere, except inching closer to the wall.
So here I am with a bunch of drunk people, my car against a wall and not able to move. But we somehow managed to get it out with rocking her back and forth. What strikes me funny is how there were people pushing her, shouting to me what to do, and Britney and Robby are sitting in the bed talking like they were sitting at a dinner table (she was too intoxicated to do anything, and being in the bed is probably the safest place for her to be). Haha.
And last night a bunch of people came over and we drank ourselves into absolute craziness. I’ve seen a lot in my life whilst among a bunch of drunken people, but last night was one of the most interesting nights of my life. We played spin the bottle, except converted it into a drinking truth-or-dare game. As time went on we changed it into just dares, since we kept running out of questions for those who were saying truth.
Austin ended up in my black thong, Brandon had my underwear on his head and nothing on but a sock on his junk, Toast had Paula’s bra on his head and they switched clothing, Amanda’s top was off, and I - well… heh.
Things got even MORE crazier after that.
And my disgusting ex kept calling and I did a pretty good job ignoring it, but after a bottle of wine and 5 beers I eventually answered as I was getting very annoyed. The voice on the other side was that of a 14 year old he hangs out, and a bunch of drunken people in the background. He called me fat and said a few other things, but I found it all so humorous.
What I don’t understand is how my ex is mad at me when he’s the one with bad issues. I mean - dude… I was the one lied too, cheated on, used for drug money and a place for him to stay at, and well… one day I’ll say the rest when it all blows over. But there’s a lot of really messed up stuff about Matt that he did to me, to others, and to himself. I had to seek a damn counselor after we broke up. I’m still in disbelief that a person could be so immoral and cruel to others.
He never keeps friendships for more then severals months, so with time he’ll be gone… or in jail, or dead from an overdose. I’ve talked to his past “friends” and they sure did share some interesting things. But I know I’m not the ignorant one anymore.
Each day is getting better for me, I enjoy being with good people. I can feel the past Beth coming back, I will always have trust issues… but no longer to the point of where it effects my life.
I’ve also become a VNV Nation addict. Ronan Harris is a lyrical genius. I have spent so many hours crying (sober and drunk) to his music. I’m going to share some…
Arclight
At first light lay proud foundations.
Sense the greatness that before you unfolds.
Seek no more for hollow answers.
Answers that lay within you all along.
Farewell to dawns seen through saddened eyes.
Farewell to pasts to sorrows chained.
Forget your fears.
You will have everything.
You will be strong and want no more.
You’ll be adored.
You will have everything.
Forget your fears and want no more
- I’ve also started browsing Songmeanings.net often. I like reading others’ opinions of lyrics. For this song, some mentioned how it’s about death (being that the arclight is what they say you see right after you’ve passed) or a message to newly born. I see it as a positive song, saying that things will always get better.
Savior
As the stars appear I know I’ll find you staring at the sky.
Pointlessly reaching for some light
You hope to guide your sorry way.
Your body bleeding.
Your body burned.
Your body scarred.
Around the cinder of your heart
A God of love.
A God of care.
A God of hope.
A God of words.
A God as lost as you and blind to fill your hollow soul again.
You seek a God to stand above you,
wrapping healing arms around you.
You’ll find another God of pain,
a God of suffering and tears.
Give yourself unto your God.
Sacrifice yourself again.
Burn your thoughts erase your will to Gods of suffering and tears.
Tie hallowed bonds around your hands.
Kneel before this seat of shame to Gods as lost,
Gods as blind, Gods of suffering and pain.
- Don’t look to God to help you, look in yourself.
Legion
Enveloped in a sentiment, a sound that rushes over me.
Engage an impulse to pretend I have a faith as pure.
Not forgetting what it means to dream.
Indulging everything.
Entertaining thoughts that I’ve the strength of those I yearn to be.
Cheers and tribute greet the saviours.
Reckless thoughts survive.
Anachronistic and impulsive.
And what will happen?
Will I dream?
I am too scared to close my eyes.
For a second please hold me.
None can change in me these things that I believe.
But I don’t know what happens now.
I am too scared to close my eyes.
- When we die - Heaven? Does it exist? Or do we just dream endlessly? Or are we nothing?
I cannot stop listening to this music. Those three songs are the best ones; but there’s a lot of others that are great. VNV Nation, along with Assemblage 23, have supported me so much. Just as Nine Inch Nails did (and still do).
