“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent” - Victor Hugo

Today's prompt: "Get a certain or favorite lyric/s from your favorite song, and tell us how it inspires or describes you"

Wow, there are so many song lyrics I could choose from; it's hard to pick just one! My oldest brother got me into music when I was little and now I have a very diverse taste in music. There is virtually no genre of music that doesn't have at least a few songs in it that I like. While Stand in the Rain by Superchick, and Those Nights by Skillet are on the top of my list right now for what best describes me; I have to go with Owl City's new song, Silhouette, because it's "my" song, and since every line of it is relevant to me, I'll just add the whole song onto here.

I'm tired of waking up in tears
'Cause I can't put to bed these phobias and fears
I'm new to this grief I can't explain
But I'm no stranger to the heartache and the pain

The fire I began is burning me alive
But I know better than to leave and let it die

I'm a silhouette asking every now and then
"Is it over yet? Will I ever feel again?"
I'm a silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home

I'm sick of the past I can't erase
A jumble of footprints and hasty steps I can't retrace
The mountain of things I still regret
Is a vile reminder that I would rather just forget (no matter where I go)

The fire I began is burning me alive
But I know better than to leave and let it die

I'm a silhouette asking every now and then (now and then)
"Is it over yet? Will I ever smile again?"
I'm a silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home

'Cause I walk alone
No matter where I go
'Cause I walk alone
No matter where I go
'Cause I walk alone
No matter where I go

I'm a silhouette asking every now and then (now and then)
"Is it over yet? Will I ever love again?"
I'm a silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home

I watch the summer stars to lead me home.

The instant I heard this song, I fell in love with it. So much of Adam Young's music is relevant to my own life and I think one reason for that is that we're both introverts, believe it or not! Okay, maybe I spend a little too much time on the internet reading interviews with my favorite people; but hey, it's what I like to do! Adam Young actually has a blog as well, which you can find here; although I'm not sure how often he updates it. His writings are just as entertaining and inspiring as his music. It's also the first place I found out what being an introvert is all about and that I might actually be one... so he's kind of had a bigger impact in my life than just good music. His story, and what he stands for is so inspiring, and I hope to do something like what he's done, only with movies.
