wolven7Some lines just capture more than a mood, for me. Some lines capture whole thought processes, and come to symbolise everything that resonates with them. Certain aspects of music have that kind of power, and that line of thinking goes back into Phonogram territory, but there it is. Some songs, some single lines can be invoked to sum up an entire series of feelings, and can be made to stand in for a much more complex web of emotions and concepts. Things which may not be able to be addressed, for whatever reason.
These days, for me, it's the lines from "Days Before You Came," by Placebo: "It always seemed enticing/To be naked and profane/There is no denying."
Several layers can be expressed, in this fashion, and when the wash of feelings comes, just repeat the line like a mantra, the litany carrying your through, until you can face the concepts, and process them, more completely.
If pressed, what lines would you say work, for you, right now? No need to put any context, just the song title, the artist, and the lyrics.
Going to bed, now. Got a ten hour shift, tomorrow. Good night.
