Feeling high and dry…

There’s this one feeling I get every now and then in my life that I just have never been able to describe. It’s like a sense of loss and confusion but at the same time it’s a time to recap and make some new decisions. It’s bittersweet in some way, a yucky feeling deep down mixed with an urgency to review what I’m doing just to make sure it’s what I want, need. Every time I get to this point, I begin to feel a high about certain aspects in my life but at the same time I feel dry inside… and funny enough both those words are one of my favourite songs in the whole world. I’ll try to explain:

Recapitulation: the art of recapturing lost energy stored in the muscles of the body from thoughts & feelings of past events, a natural healing process. Self Re-examination. 

Regret: to feel sorrow or remorse for (an act, fault, disappointment, etc.); to think with a sense of loss

Overcome: to get the better of in a struggle or conflict; conquer; prevail, to overpower or overwhelm in body or mind.

Frustration: a feeling of dissatisfaction, often accompanied by anxiety or depression, resulting from unfulfilled needs or unresolved problems.

Thoughtful: occupied with or given to thought; contemplative; meditative; reflective: in a thoughtful mood.

Mute: silent; refraining from speech or utterance. not emitting or having sound of any kind, incapable of speech; dumb.

HIGH AND DRY

Two jumps in a week
I bet you think that’s pretty clever don’t you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle,
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
You’d kill yourself for recognition,
Kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror,
You’re turning into something you are not

Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

Drying up in conversation,
You will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces,
You just sit there wishing you could still make love
They’re the ones who’ll hate you
When you think you’ve got the world all sussed out
They’re the ones who’ll spit at you,
You will be the one screaming out

Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

It’s the best thing that you ever had,
The best thing that you ever, ever had
It’s the best thing that you ever had,
