I stand in front of the mirror and hear this song. Someone from the mirror sings it to me as if it is a reminder of what is lost. The eyes from the mirror look directly into mine and speak nothing but the truth. My eyes on the other hand have been affected by the death of the spirit - spirit, that can be anything ranging from love to honesty to trust to simplicity to truth; anything virtuous, potent, prestigious; an honest thought that was born, but never grew. I question, but I only hear.

Heart of gold but it lost its pride
Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes
I've seen your face in another light
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
In too deep and out of time.
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
A simple man and his blushing bride
Intravenous, intertwined
Hearts gone cold your hands were tied
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
In too deep and out of time.
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Do you ever think of me?
You're so considerate.
Do you ever think of me?
Oh, so considerate.
In too deep and lost in time
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Hearts gone cold and hands were tied.
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
(Let it Die by Foo Fighters)
(Probably written for Kurt Kobain)

As it reaches the peak of its strength (do you every think of me?) my weak body gives up and cannot hear anymore. What was lost and what speaks through the mirror, I realize, is nothing else but the spirit.

I, let it die?

How very interesting? The spirit seems to be a range of buoyant emotions; upbeat and optimistic. Probably the eyes in the mirror have a midas touch ……
Perhaps the result of a frivolous mood; to be dismissed or maybe not ………….
Midas touch? How? Because it is a reminder?
"spirit seems to be a range of buoyant emotions; upbeat and optimistic". Interesting thought. I would definitely agree. In the blog however, it is a reflection of more sullen emotions.
Frivolous mood? Hmmmm. It would not be on this blog then. :)
It certainly reflects a state of mind but cannot be dismissed. You can interpret the lyrics it in a different way.
Abey Yeh kya kar riya hai.. sab theek thaak hai na mian ? yeh kaisi kaisi baatein kar riye hau bhai...:)
Hmmmm .... You seem offended to have your words and emotions defined as frivolous and to be dismissed. My faux pas then, I must say
Sullen emotions, defensive speech
What else does this mind harbour.........
Offended? Not at all. Unusally satisfied though, as you bring a concept somewhat alien to my mind but worthy of a thought. So no faux pas there.
Defensive speech? Maybe but factual and honest.
"What else does this mind harbour........."
For your comments, appreciation. :)
