I must admit, Animal Collective is one of my all-time fave bands. I feel like I relate the title lyric of this song back to feelings about the hugeness of our future together and how badly I want my dreams about us to come true and feeling like we are in it together but nervous just the same...
also I still don't know how to upload a photo or url. oops
ReplyDeleteit's also very much about being nervous about being parents duh....
ReplyDeletelyrics say (roughly):
If they're awake till the dawn
We won't fret they don't have our eyes
Ghosting, crawling around but I
Won't be slept on our side
From our window to lanterns
Go signs on the night
And letters and shadows
Go watch with the light
I want to be who they will be
To be more like their dad
Will it just be like they're dreaming?
Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
Will it just be like they're dreaming?
Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
If the wind is threatenin'
Maybe I should bath them
Maybe we should let them
And I have a question:
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
ARE YOU ALSO FRIGHTENED?
No one should call you a dreamer
No one should call you a dreamer
No one should call you a dreamer
Now
I am not afraid of the future. I am afraid of not being as good as I can be, I think whatever happens is what is ment to happen. I feel we control our fates to a certain extent, however I think circumstance has a lot of control over our futures.
ReplyDeleteThings might be hard, things might get very hard, but I am not afraid to grow, I will do everything I possibly can to ensure my children have the tools to have a better life then me.
My dreams are always changing, and always becoming closer and farther at the same time, but I am not afraid.
My (our) dreams.
ReplyDeleteYou can drive yourself crazy worrying about the future, I've spent a lot of time doing it, and now I embrace all of it with open arms.
