As most of my friends know, I don’t usually listen to English songs. In-fact about 8 months back I didn’t even know what rock bands exists or even who are the famous singers, leaving a few – thanks to all the DJ nights I had attended. But one day I saw a video and suddenly I started liking those songs which earlier irritated me. Here is my first account with the world of Rock/Rap-Rock songs.
It was 2nd day of the 9 days sem-break after 3rd sem. I was sitting in my room with low fever, alone, and all of my friends went out for dinner. I was already frustrated regarding some personal problems, and the fever in holidays added to it. I was just browsing through some Metacafe videos, when I found this one. This video was about a rider, in-fact about a ride of the rider, the ultimate ride. The rider was shown riding his bike as fast as he could, through the highways to the main streets, through one-ways overtaking all the vehicles he came across … not giving a damn to the rules, not caring about even risking his life. He was shown driving the vehicle to the extreme. Don’t know how but I somehow got this feeling that this rider was frustrated of everything, or had faced failure somewhere that he desired passionately, and that he didn’t get the result for how much he tried. So, now there he goes breaking all the rules, all the boundations, risking his life to achieve that what he wanted, to go par his capabilities … having no one to stop him, to achieve that one ride … the Ultimate Ride. Later, after doing all that he wanted to do, his hands loosen from the handle, he relaxes his body … bike still going above 200 kmph … he raises his hands towards the sky … loses his balance, the bike shakes, falls, skids … the rider hits ground cracking his helmet along with his bones, bounces and hit again … and then … there is blood all over …
Throughout this video there was one song being played …
In the End – Linkin Park
It starts with One thing,
I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme to explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn’t even know
I wasted it all
just to watch you go
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a
memory of a time when
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
I had to fall, to lose it all
But in the end it doesn’t even matter
One thing, I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so [far]
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a
memory of a time
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn’t even matter
I’ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I’ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn’t even matter
The video and the lyrics affected me so much that I listened to the song a 100 times in those 9 days … and from there started my journey to the genre of English songs.
PS1: @Maruti : this is not the “cool” post I mentioned about … but just felt like writing.
PS2: Listning to the same song after a long time.
PS3: Finally got a mail regarding project … hopefully now we will be getting projects.
