Bittersweet Symphony

It's a Bittersweet Symphony this life...
  • I have to stop demanding that everything will fit, that the puzzle pieces are all chiseled to fit together because the world isn't a puzzle waiting to be put together 
Trying to make ends meet, you find some money then you die...
  • Survival is our call, but through the process we try to attach a greater meaning to it all. Instead of trying to aestheticize every event in my life and force it to have a supposed meaning, I must observe the oddities of existence, the ironies that puzzle, and wonder at the questions that keep this fight for survival interesting every day. 
  • I'm not just trying to preserve my life, I'm trying to preserve consciousness as well. Sometimes to preserve that consciousness, I have to search within my subconscious.
Cause I'm a million different people from one day to the next, I can't change my mold...
  • Every day I change. I observe something, I experience something, I learn something. That's just another addition to the mold that I started out with. If I don't change, I don't become a million different people, I'll just be the original mold, with nothing to distinguish my pursuits in life from the rest of those around me. Strive not to be blank in the end.
