My dear brother, my sweet sister...
Can I invite you on a journey?
It is an invitation I received to look at myself in a mirror called "Where Did We Lose Each Other"... This song really talks about my life, it reflects my losses, it screams my hopes and it enlightens my crossroads. Since the first day I read these words, I knew they were a mirror that I had the option to look into for real or turn my eyes away in denial. Just like it has been said in one of the videos of the
special project page, either we decide to face reality or slowly we become the reflection of something else, far from being alive and far from being our true self...just a pale reflection of our illusions.
Enough with the illusions, enough with cutting ourselves from embracing this life of communion and love, there's more awaiting for us and I want all of us to grasp whatever is ours!
Let's read this text, let's listen to the song and let's be sensitive to what happens inside of us...
" Where Did We Lose Each Other -French part translated by Miss Isabel- "
It’s been a while isn’t it
Where did we lose each other
Is it somewhere between
Your skin, my grief and weakness
Where did we lose each other
It’s strange somehow (illusions feeding memories)
There must be dreams I can breathe
Love’s long way gone (winter’s crawling over me)
It’s been a while, it’s been too long
I should have told you everything,
Needed to keep it in, to keep the sorrows inside
Your eyes, your eyes, looking at me
Your blame, my shame, a thousand whispers
I’m falling down, I’m on my knees
Just like a soul who lost his way, away, away
The cut is deep, but ain’t too late
Need salvation to light my way, away, away
I’m just a dream who’s been fading away
A craving ghost that kept running way
Grace’s out of sight, I won’t give it away
Just give it away, can’t give it away…
It’s been a while isn’t it,
Glad to be back from despairs
I never thought it could
Be good to scream in laughter
Where did we lose each other
It’s strange somehow (I’ve been dressed up in your fears)
I’ve learned to lie in my grief
Tear’s long way gone (I’m not sleeping at your feet )
I’m falling down, I’m on my knees
Just like a soul who lost his way, away, away
The cut is deep, but ain’t too late
Need salvation to light my way, away, away
I’m just a dream who’s been fading away
A craving ghost that kept running way
Grace’s out of sight, I won’t give it away
Just give it away, can’t give it away…
I am winter, I am the wind
A dead season, betrayed a hundred times
a fooled heart fooled, slap of time
All is lost, I'm broken
I believed in you, painted with white,
You lied to me, soiled from dawn,
Followed your steps, dizzy soul
I no longer love you, I come back to life
I’m falling down, I’m on my knees
Just like a soul who lost his way, away, away
The cut is deep, but ain’t too late
Need salvation to light my way, away, away
I’m just a dream who’s been fading away
A craving ghost that kept running way
Grace’s out of sight, I won’t give it away
Just give it away, can’t give it away…
1) Which line sticks to your brain?
2) What word(s) cuts into your heart like a precise surgeon?
3) What is in it that confuses you or enlightens you?
4 ) What feeling comes up to the surface, that you have to deal with as you listen to the song and see the video?
My answers are down here in the comment section...I'm waiting for yours!!!
