About Me

I have done a lot of things in my life and have also worked in many different jobs to make a living and to experience life. This blog is just some of my musings, sometimes funny, sometimes inspirational, sometimes sad, sometimes angry, sometimes simple but all the time, it's just me.

No line on the horizon

On the way to work, happened to be listening to U2's latest album, aptly titled "No line on the horizon".

Seems like I was driving through smoke throughout my trip from Luak Bay to Lutong. The air pollution index must be over 200 but there are no official reports.

Somehow U2 seemed really nice to listen to, only managed to listen to 3 songs, the 3rd one being "At the moment of surrender".

Seems like we all have. Playing with the fire until the fire played with me.

At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

I tied myself with wire
To let the horses roam free
Playing with the fire
Until the fire played with me

We set ourselves on fire
Oh God, do not deny her
It’s not if I believe in love
If love believes in me
Oh, believe in me

At the moment of surrender
I folded to my knees
I did not notice the passers-by

And they did not notice me

I’ve been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body’s now a begging bowl
That’s begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released from control

I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection
A face staring back at me

At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

Take care and be well.
