>Hi Dinah:
I guess I should have made this thread seem a little more humerus. Honestly, compared to the emotional weight I carry now and what I did in highschool, is a big difference. 'Geek girls' where usually my friends, so I betcha you and I would have gotten on fine. Don't get me wrong...I have some beautiful, cherishing memories of all of the youthful innocence of my teens. The 'Suberbs' thing is actually explained well in the recent video by Arcade Fire. Here are the lyrics:
(again, about loss of innocence..)
"The Suburbs"In the suburbs I
I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys we're leavin'You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd be fighting
In a suburban war
Your part of town against mine
I saw you standing on the opposite shoreBut by the time the first bombs fell
We were already bored
We were already, already boredSometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling againKids wanna be so hard
But in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yard
And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall
And all of the houses they built in the seventies finally fall
Meant nothin' at all
Meant nothin' at all
It meant nothinSometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling and into the nightSo can you understand?
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young
I wanna hold her hand
And show her some beauty
Before all this damage is doneBut if it's too much to ask, it's too much to ask
Then send me a sonUnder the overpass
In the parking lot we're still waiting
It's already passed
So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass
Cause it's already passed
It's already, already passedSometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling againI'm movin' past the feeling
I'm movin' past the feelingIn my dreams we're still screamin'
We're still screamin'
We're still screamin'
