My literature "essay" (videos)
Let it go by Corrinne May
I think we've been here before
I recognize this place
I've seen the marks of confusion
wipe out a single sign of grace
And I don't want to play anymore
Not when the stakes are so high
So before we circle round once more
I'm gonna lay down,
Lay down my pride
Let it go, let it be
Don't waste all your emotion on this
tit-for-tat machine
Let it go, let it be
Let it go
I turn on the TV
and it screams out at me
Nothing seems to have changed
since the start of Adam and Eve
So we're waiting for the sky to fall
and we're buying brand new toys
But before we circle round once more
Can we lay down
Just lay down this pride
Let it go, let it be
Don't waste all your emotion on this
tit-for-tat machine
Let it go, let it be
Let it go
Don't go wasting your emotions
No one wins if we keep score
Let it go, let it be
Let it go
Green-Eyed Monster by Corrinne May
So you say life is unfair
She's got everything you wanted
And you're not even close
To getting where you wish you could be
You want to get the commendation
Love and adulation
But you're stuck here on your knees
Are you happy, green eyed monster?
Are you happy with your place?
What's the use of being haunted?
Your story for glory
Is right there in your face
So be glad
You're an architect creation
You're one of a kind
Just stay on track
Because every cross can be a blessing
All the gifts that you've been given
Close your eyes and listen

To who you're meant to be
Are you happy, green eyed monster?
Are you happy with your place?
What's the use of being haunted?
Your story for glory
Is right there in your face
Don't feed the monster
Wasting time comparing
Lose yourself despairing
I hear it, don't ya?
Hungry for our fight
Are you happy?
Are you happy, green eyed monster?
Are you happy with your place?
What's the use of being haunted?
Your story for glory
Is right there in your face
Right there in your face
Right there in your face
The Answer by Corrinne May
I believe You are the answer to every tear I’ve cried
I believe that You are with me,
My rising and my light.
Give me strength when I am weary
Give me hope when I can’t see
Through the crosses I must carry
Lord, bind my heart to Thee
That when all my days are over
and all my chores are done,
I may see Your risen Glory
Forever where You are.
Scars (Stronger For Life)
I just want to run
Just want to hide away
Close my eyes to your gaze
Just want to leave
Don't want to hear them say
"You're no good at this"
When the world swirls with naysayers
Broken wings and torn pages
The road ahead
Drowning in my tears
Break me open
Tear me down
Into pieces
Broken crumbs
On the ground
You can mould and shape me
In your image
Breathe your life
You know I need it
Scars make us stronger for life
Losing myself
Gaining it back again
Forging strength from weakness
All that I am
All that I'm meant to be
Melting in your hand
Let the world swirl with naysayers
Pickled hearts and sour faces
What is real is what I cannot see
Break me open
Tear me down
Into pieces
Broken crumbs
On the ground
You can mould and shape me
In your image
Breathe your life
You know I need it
Scars make us stronger for life
Cut away
All within me
That won't bear fruit
Cut away
All within me
Cut away
All within me
That won't bear fruit
Cut away
All within me
Break me open
Tear me down
Into pieces
Broken crumbs
On the ground
You can mould and shape me
In your image
Breathe your life
You know I need it
Scars make us stronger
Scars make us stronger for life
& the last one is ..
Angel in disguise
I woke up this morning feeling kind of blue
and I stumbled out of bed and
dragged my feet across the room
Right outside my front door was a rose
and a note that said 'Somebody Loves You'
Oh~ But out on the street it starts to pour
and before I get soaking wet,
A total stranger runs to give me
the jacket off his back
I turn around to thank him
But he waves me with a smile
And I can hardly believe my eyes
He puts on a halo and starts to fly
Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise
I met a good friend for lunch
and we had a delicious meal
But I forgot to bring my wallet
I felt like an imbecile
But she was sweet, she gave me a treat and
Bought me a chicken sandwich
To take home for tea
Oh~ But out on the street with nothing to eat
A man and his shopping cart go
Travelling to places
Collecting social graces
I give him my sandwich
and we chatter for a while
I see a rainbow wash over his eyes
He gives me his halo and
I start to fly
Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise
Don't try to hide away from me
I know you're by my side
Oooh~~
Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look at Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise
Everyday can be legendary
Every minute, an endless surprise
You could be the next angel in disguise
I woke up this morning
Feeling kind of new
I've been thinking lately .. And well, videos are really the best ways to express these emotions that I have and can't really say it out or even type it out. The first song's "let it go". And it's about pride. During cell yesterday, rachel, natalie and I were talking about pride and stuff. And how crazy it was, I mean, cos I felt the same thing recently that I THINK i got over with ..? :\ Not sure yet. The second is "green-eyed monster". Okay, this is pretty obvious right? I mean, I don't exactly have to explain that "green" = jealousy. Wells .. I've been feeling jealous about some people even though I know their intentions are not as so, or okay, maybe not intentions, but the way they are .. sometimes I'm just filled with so much envy that I turn into a "green-eyed monster" ..
It's like .. when everything's "unfair", sometimes lying is the only option to bring up my own reputation - even though I know that lying is something is an option I should not be even considering, but I am & still am. sometimes, that is. It kinda links to the pride thingy and all the "glory" and stuff like that. But I'm just trying to make myself look "normal", in a sense. But it's all pretty much a fake me if I do so, right?
Sighs. & when I don't see any solution to it, I "(cry)" and I need an answer, I need a solution for this jealousy problem and I need to "lay down my pride". Then I saw another song called "The Answer", also by Corrinne May. I listened to it and read through the lyrics and it's pretty touching. But well, I only felt that way when my emotional being was at its climax, so .. you may not really feel it - maybe.
Then I thought about the statement I kept telling myself, "For every bad thing that happens, there's a lesson learnt and a blessing going through it." Or something like that. But the thing is, it meant that .. well, just be positive. "Scars (stronger for life)", thinking about these few words, how can you picture it in your head? "Scars make us stronger for life". this ending line of the chorus, I totally agree with it. It's like, sometimes we just need to .. okay, not sometimes, but everytime we face difficulties and problems in our lives, let's say that we cannot cope with, don't forget that there's a God up there that loves and CARES for us so much that He's more than willing to help us.
I remembered when I was seriously breaking down as I faced many problems like friendship problems, school life, future, family & even my own imperfections, I think of the chorus of that song.
It really made an impact on me. I recalled the song "Potter's Hand" after seeing the word "mould" there. And here I was thinking, God can mould me into a better person, give me a better future, and solve all my problems. I just need to give all to Him and He'd take care of all of it - including my imperfections. I need not blame myself for being imperfect anymore, and I should reply on God more. That's when I decided that I could put my life in God's Hands, knowing and believing that because He's done so much for me, I put my faith and trust in Him that everything will be fine.
Thinking that everything will be fine, I realise that well, I started to appreciate more things in life, enjoying so many things I never enjoyed while I was so stressed up with my books and tied down with friendship problems, etc. I started to feel so free. Then I come to the last song, "Angel in disguise". Yepp, by Corrinne May - again. haha! yeaaa, as you can see it, I'm a big fan ((:
& after bad moments are gone, knowing that God is watching me, I "see" angels in disguise. No, they're not angels like Gabriel, etc. nonono. I mean my friends. My role models. People who care and love me. As simple as my parents, my best friends, people who left a deep mark on me. They're my everyday blessings and even though it may as little as talking to a friend. Let's say, just talking, not comforting or anything. I'm already thankful that God let me know this friend here that would accompany me and have a conversation with me so that I wouldn't feel lonely. This way, I can see that God makes sure that I'm lonely - duh. haha. anyways, yeah, i mean you get my point right? .. eh .. heh.
Hmm .. I don't think I have much to say today though. OHOH!! I just realised that katakana wasn't that bad after all! (:
