I can’t decide whether I would prefer to imagine that I’m singing this song to someone, or having some stranger sing it to me. It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted about how I’ve been feeling, but here’s an attempt. Actually, it’s sort of coincidental that a band I’d heard about just a week or so ago would have a song I’d randomly try to adapt to say what I want to say. Goodness, I sure twist things up. I need to find a dying hole, pronto.

No one knows how you feel.
No one there you’d like to see.
The day was dark and full of pain.
You write “help”
With your own blood,
‘Cause hope is all you’ve got.
You open up your eyes,
But nothing’s changed.
I don’t want to cause you trouble,
Don’t want to stay too long.
I just came here to say to you…
Turn around,
I am here.
If you want, it’s me you’ll see.
Doesn’t count,
Far or near.
I can hold you
When you reach for me.
Your life is meaningless.
Your diary full of trash.
It’s so hard to get along
With empty hands.
You’re looking for the rainbow,
But it died not long ago.
It tried to shine just for you,
Until the end.
If the world makes you confused,
And your senses you seem to lose,
If the storm doesn’t want to diffuse,
And you just don’t know what to do,
Look around.
I am here.
I can hold you when you reach for me.
Turn around,
I am here.
Doesn’t count,
Far or near.
I am by your side.
Just for a little while.
We’ll make it if we try.
- Tokio Hotel, By Your Side
