Thoughts and other ramblings

Today I planned to post a totally different song. I had it all prepared on Friday and everything. Then this morning while getting ready to go to work, Seek You Out popped up and a few lines caught my ears. Now, I’ve been listening to Poets of the Fall for over a decade now. Seek You Out is on their first album, Signs of Life which is my second favorite after Carnival of Rust. So it’s not like I’ve never heard this song and I liked it too, but until now it never clicked with me. I went and checked out the lyrics and damn, this is going to be my new addiction for a few days.

I don’t believe in coincidences, and holy shit, this is exactly the song I needed. Or the song that describes my current feelings the best. Those who follow me on social media might have seen I’m not in the best of the forms lately. I’m planning to write up a post about what’s going on, or at least giving some ideas. We’ll see. Anyway, listen to Poets of the Falls folks, because they are awesome. And I’m going to see them live for the first time this spring!! At least there are still a few things making it worth to go on.

Lyrics

Never said you’d promise anything 
Never told to trust you blindly 
Never thought you’d hurt me either 

Never had a chance 
Now ain’t that so 
Never should’ve wept 
When you let go 
Never thought 
You’d push me away 

Sad as it may be 
I’m glad it’s over finally 
Speaks volumes of me 
When letting go is never easy 

So I’ll seek you out 
Just to find myself 
And I’ll worry ’bout consequences later 
I hear you out 
Till I hear myself 
Hear myself in you 

Never knew if we were really true 
Never thought I’d ever get to you 
Never thought I’d end up like this 

Never was I stronger than I’m now 
Never felt this much a fool somehow 
Never had much thought for myself 

Sad as it may be 
I’m glad it’s over finally 
Speaks volumes of me 
When letting go is never easy 

So I’ll seek you out 
Just to find myself 
And I’ll worry ’bout consequences later 
I hear you out 
Till I hear myself 
Hear myself in you 

Never knew if we were really true 
Never thought I’d ever get to you 
Never thought I’d end up like this 

Never said you’d promise anything 
Never told to trust you blindly 
Never thought you’d hurt me either
