Re: Broken China

And therein lies the problem, Thorin.

But thank you so much for trying!

As for the lyrics...yeah, they really were despondent in some places. But the thing is--I IDENTIFY with this. I am not the kind of person, like Mr. Waters, who seems to thrive on conflict. It slowly eats at me. I hate it; it makes me feel terrible. I do not like to fight--it isn't in my nature. When I try to defend myself, somehow my efforts fall short and I don't know why. And I get this overwhelming desire to just get AWAY.

"Holiday" kind of picks up at the end, even lyrically--the thought of sailing is so pleasant! I have never actually sailed...yet for so long I have not been able to get the idea out of my head. In fact...I think I will learn. The ocean has a hold on me that I can't explain.

Someday I may post a poem inspired by this album that I wrote just a few weeks ago...
