The Song We Write

The outlandish music playing in the background of every serious moment that happens in life, is created by our focused minds. It's trying to remind us of our current condition, if not the fact that we don't want to be in the situation we're in.
The reason why it's outlandish music, is because it actually manages to grab our attention, even if we simply ask ourselves, "what is that horrid noise". Yes, truth is our thoughts can be sometimes what we hate most about ourselves, because you can never actually silence them.
No matter how many times you re-arrange yourself in preperation for sleep, or how many times you find yourself writing things that don't really capture the way you feel, your thoughts are still there.
The music still plays.

But, that music is soothing. After a while, we stop concentrating on the insistive thud that's meant to be the bass, or the out-of-time eerie bell chime that's meant to make the song what it is, but instead we begin to focus on the lyrical content.
It's often poetic, telling us of what we must do next, reminding us that life goes on, and re-assuring us that we still have faith. It's enough to send us into the relaxed state we're in when we wake, realizing only later that we must have fallen asleep to it.

So as you see, we all actually send ourselves into the depths of sleep.
Although we do it asking questions and answering them, often with-in the same hour if not minute.
When you hear the music play, embrace it. Feel the beat and listen closely to the lyrics, because it's you reminding yourself what you're here for. And how long you have to go.
