It is humorous as to how much music and different songs can state your feelings better than you can state it yourself. You can scratch out your feelings on a piece of paper when a simple song on your iPod can clearly list out your feelings and address your problems.
I truly love the music that Switchfoot puts out. They released an album recently that’s titled Hello Hurricane. Among each track on the album, one describes the life obstacles I am currently facing – this track is titled “Yet.”
This song begins to describe how one’s life is slowly failing and falling away from where it should be. A group of lines read as
I’m losing ground and gaining speed,
I’ve lost myself or most of me,
I’m headed for the final precipice
I feel as though my life is spinning out of control and is headed straight for a cliff where I’ll be lost forever and never to be found again. The very next group of lines read as
But you haven’t lost me yet,
No, you haven’t lost me yet,
I’ll sing until my heart caves in,
No, you haven’t lost me yet
As my life is spinning out of control and heading for destruction, I feel as though I have enough energy to make one last cry out to God. He hasn’t lost me yet, but I know I am in desperate need of Him and His divine guidance. I am at the dry wasteland where I am alone and am in need of His love. I know He is the ultimate friend and comforter, but I am here wondering why I am like this.
Towards the end of the song, it has some lines that read,
If it doesn't break
If it doesn't break
If it doesn't break
If it doesn't break your heart
It isn't love
If it doesn't break your heart
It's not enough
It's when you're breaking down
With your insides coming out
That's when you find out what your heart is made of
I am at the “Make or Break” part. I know there are those of you that know exactly what I am talking about. You feel as though there is no purpose in life and that you are just “chilling” there going nowhere fast.
I want to say that there is hope. I am in the trusting part where I know something good will come out of this. Just keep your head up and keep pushing your hardest through the tackles of life – don’t get knocked down. Rather, keep pluggin away and you will succeed. I have hope and you should too.
