WIBCI Post #91

WIBCI we learned to  Live Life Lyrically?

Think of a song you really like and use the ole inter-webs to find the lyrics. No matter how many times you heard a song, no matter how ‘by heart’ you think you know it, I bet you learn something and/or think of the song differently when you read word for word what the artist/poet wrote.

The following are the Lyrics to In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel, which you may know. I found I couldn’t help hearing the song when I read the lyrics, but knowing the tune is not compulsory (if you haven’t heard it, I propose a listen). To me Peter seems, well….intense, attentive, and fortunate.
Love, I get so lost sometimes 
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away, I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go

I come back to the place you are

All my instincts, they return
The grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light, the heat

(in your eyes)
I am complete
(in your eyes)
I see the doorway
(in your eyes)
To a thousand churches
(in your eyes)
The resolution
(in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches

(in your eyes)

Oh, I see the light and the heat

(in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna be that complete
I wanna touch the light, the heat, I see in your eyesLove, I don’t like to see so much pain
So much wasted, and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you, to keep me awake and alive

And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

Mr. Gabriel has looked and seen: The resolution of all the fruitless searches, in someone’s eyes…….
Damn Peter.
I have not seen such things in anyone’s eyes, nor, to my knowledge, have such things been seen in my eyes.
Doesn’t sound like it sucks.
