The sad part about LP is:
They are the best friend who knows exactly how you feel. They understand you.
But they don't teach you how to get out of your misery.
Perhaps I should stick to listening to more positive songs from other bands.
The best example being The All American Rejects 'Move Along', which inspired the name for this page.
When all you gotta keep is strong
Move along, move along
Like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along
Just to make it through
When everything is wrong, we move along
Right back what is wrong, we move along
Or Coldplay 'Fix You'
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Crawling
Linkin Park. My favourite band.
If I remember correctly, the 1st time I heard them was on TV, performing for a reward show.
They performed 'Crawling'. At the time, I wasn't into rock music, and it was too noisy for me.
Although later I saw 'In the End' on TV and instantly liked it. LP was cool.
And then came 'Meteora', their 2nd album, my all-time favourite.
And I have been a fan since.
When you're an adolescent you have a lot of anger, frustration, hurt, disappointment.
I'm sure everyone can relate to the lyrics in 'Numb'.
LP expressed all those emotions so well I thought they were genius.
For a while, I thought I'd outgrown LP.
But when things started to go downhill, I came back to them.
This time, I find new meanings in the lyrics.
And, I find the song which best express what I feel is, surprisingly, 'Crawling'.
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling, I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense in confidence, I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)

Burden
Hopes, expectations, belief and love.
People draw strength, motivation and drive from them.
To me, they all translate into pressure, a great burden.
And I, of little self-confidence, threw it all away.

自暴自弃
I have never fully understood the meaning of self-destruction, until this day.
Suffice to say that you won't find the motivation to change, by making your situation worse.
