I am specially attached to lyrics.. What better way to start this blog?
So here goes.. Now, special attention to these that follow. I have heard the actual song only once. Hence, these are irrespective of the background scores/singers, etc.
Why this particular set of verses?- A harsh reminder of something that is vital, extremely sensitive; and yet neglected by almost every single being. Read through, you might grasp my point..
And if I show you my dark side
Will you still hold me tonight?
And if I open my heart to you
And show you my weak side
What would you do?
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
Would you take the children away
And leave me alone?
And smile in reassurance
As you whisper down the phone?
Would you send me packing?
Or would you take me home?
Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings,
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down.
I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut.
--Pink Floyd

to let oneself be vulnerable isnt it? to let down our guard.
because we live in fortresses thats hard to break down..
rather than living in fortresses, its about having the courage to look at your own reflection in the mirror.. to look it in the eye and accept what you are.
besides that, it is about yes, being vulnerable, and opening yourself to this vital requirement- need. might be in various possible forms.. irrespective of that.. its about being aware that you need warmth.. even if you might not deserve it.
