She Is Running To Stand Still...
Ever listen to a song and just have it hit close to home, but you're not sure why?
For me that happened just now, as I was going through my many U2 songs
I stumbled across the song Running to Stand Still
Very pretty song
Relates to how I feel
Sometimes I feel like I have to keep doing everything in order to keep myself together
When I stop is when I fall apart
And sometimes what I've done
And what I've expereince
What I've loved...
Just simply isn't enough
So I keep looking for the thing that might make me happy
While trying to make everyone else happy at the same time
And sometimes I know that in order to make myself happy, I might not be able to take the easy route
So I keep running, searching
Hoping to find the place where I can finally rest
I've been thinking about this alot lately
I mean, I almost ran away from home last night
What if next time, I don't stop?
Where do I go?
Sometimes I feel like there's a storm inside me
And I can't control it
My emotions are always so strong, so vivid
It frightens me frequently
I want something to tame it
I want to feel in control again
I don't even remember how it feels like to be in control
Everything just keeps spinning and going and I get lost
So I guess I just need something to help me stop
Or maybe I'm thinking too much
Wouldn't be the first time
Song of the Entry:
Running to Stand Still by U2
And so she woke up, woke up from where she was lying still
Said I got to do something about where we're going
Step on a steam train, step out of the driving rain
Maybe run from the darkness in the night
Singing ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day ha la la de day
Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth
I see seven towers but I only see one way out
You got to cry with out weeping, talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice
You know I took the poison from the poison stream
Then I floated out of here
Singing ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day ha la la de day
She runs through the streets with her eyes painted red
Under a black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
She is raging, she is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes
She will suffer the needle chill
She is running to stand still
