Carpe Diem

I really like the concept of seizing the moment, and this song sorta captures how i feel sometimes. For me, leaving Toon town and going to BC was a big step - far from friends, family and any sort of support system, and i threw myeself into it. I made some close friends, and feel stuck in the moment - homesick for a place and people i've only known for 2 months. But coming back means embracing life here and loving each moment. It doesn't mean forgetting or disregarding or a magic stop loving, or abandoning future plans, but it does mean that i'm going to sieze each day that i'm here right now, and leave future dreams to the future and the past to the past.
So that's what i'm going to try to do. I just wish it didn't hurt.

Stuck in a moment

I’m not afraid of anything in this world
There’s nothing you can throw at me that I haven’t already heard
I’m just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

I will not forsake the colours that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks, they left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears, through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it’s tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don’t really need now, my, oh my

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You’ve got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn’t jumping, for me it was a fall
It’s a long way down to nothing at all

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
It’s just a moment
This time will pass
