say a prayer for me
i need a new life
i’m not blind cuz i see the truth and the lies.
heed my words, listen to advice
you don’t need to run away and take your life
no you can’t live this way.
saw you go for miles and miles
and miles and miles and miles
destination nowhere, no means or how
so you go for miles and miles
soul searching, soul searching
for how…
just take a look around
at the faces that you meet
cuz everybody’s got their own pains like you and me
never fall away.
whatever you do choose life
the thoughts on your mind choose life
wherever you go choose life
choose life.
saw you go for miles and miles…
destination nowhere, no means or how
so you go for miles and miles
soul searching, soul searching
for how.
-Urban Dub (soul searching from the album influence)
no wonder this song became a quasi-anthem for my generation….
my generation a symbiosis of the 80’s and meltdown of the 90’s and perhaps the melancholy of 2k’s to follow.
for this age group would mean having gone to work notwithstanding the difficulties that would follow as more and more trends are being fed upon MTV and the upsurge of technology becomes a poison as people eventually forget the warmth of another person by simply exchanging numbers. i always believe that to have a good talk would always suffice a stressed out heart…
unconsciously the idea of dying or taking my life isnt a remote concept. it’s the saddest freedom that has always played an important role in my life.
this song interpreted my running aways, my soul searches my constant if not repeated failures…
of sharing ones pain but never knowing if that person you are sharing with understands you completely… it is that barrier of mistrust paranoia and intense pain that tears become a stagnant jewelry on my cheek.
maybe that was what Jesus felt when he wept at the garden before he was killed, he knew he was gonna be killed but eventually he went anyway…
as for me i know im going to die or worse i want to die, but i tried living anyway…
i take it back… i once believed that what cant kill you can only make you stronger as nietszche said.
id rather say that when you thought you’re alive, thats when you sometimes wish you really are.
now i understand why people want to die, it is not because they have nothing to live for.
it is because life as fun as it is supposed to be is just full of crap.
but ey thats where faith comes in.
to have faith that eventually after all these bullshit you’ll end up having this earth kiss your shiny ass.
thats the song, i am the victim.
enjoy Urban Dub they really know how to communicate to the dying.
i guess thats all that matters in music… its to make you feel alive in a totally fed up world.
