Butterflies and Hurricanes

Best, you've got to be the best,

you've got to change the world,

and use this chance to be heard,

your time is now

Regrets. What do you regret? What did you not do? What chance did you give up? Did you lose a good friend? Did you miss a chance? Regrets build up on people. We remember everything bad that's happened to us and complain about it. We regret a lot of things. It's just human nature. The trick to regrets is to not let them happen.

Everyone wants to do things. Go on trips. Meet new people. Make the most of life. It's a given we'll miss out on things but when you look back do you remember ever saying "Eh I'm not so sure i feel like going with these people, doing this thing," you get the point. We refrain from doing something new and fun because were afraid to be outside our own little box, and we regret it later.

In the terms of stated above, "Your time is now", and it is. Your time is every time an opportunity is placed before you. People need to get outside of their box, change themselves a little, and then we won't miss great opportunities. It's like that movie "Yes Man". Jim Carey's character says yes to everything, now I don't want people to be that extreme but the theory is good, say yes to a few opportunities and your life can become so grand and eventful and you won't look back and say "wow, I wish I'd done that".

Remember, your time is now, now is the time to grab life and make the most of it, life is short and there's no room for regrets.

Supermassive Black Hole

I thought I was a fool for no-one,

oh baby I'm a fool for you,

you're the queen of the superficial

And how long before you tell the truth

This lesson goes the same way as Hysteria. It deals with "addictions" but unlike hysteria this one is about things that pull you in. This isn't something you crave because you want to these are things that pull you in like a black hole.

The best example i could use is drugs. People in America use drugs everyday, I don't why, because they want to i guess. It's the typical example though, they tried them, they got hooked, and now they can't stop. That's what this song addresses a true addiction.

It is truly ridiculous how much people abuse things. People just don't understand how lucky we really are to have what we do. Doesn't have to be drugs we abuse or rights every day. And after we do it to much we end up stuck, sucked in by our own lack of self-control. These addictions or "black holes" are plain as day we just lack the self-control to avoid them. Were to damn curious and stupid to see how dangerous some of these "black holes" are, and in the end we could end up ruining our lives.

So as i leave i say this, show a little self-control, let's not all be idiotic "curious cats" for once in our lives.

Hysteria

'cause I want it now,

I want it now,

give me your heart and your soul,

I'm not breaking down,

I'm breaking out,

last chance to lose control

If you don't get it I'll explain it. Some things mean the world to people. It could be a sport. It could be a simple hobby. A pet. In this song, it's a person. Thing is when someone loves and wants something like this it's very hard for them to be away from it. To be removed from something that important it tough to deal with.

If you listen to this song you'll see it talks about wanting a person. Wanting them bad. More than anything. But it still rings true for everything in life. The things that you could call your "addictions". These "addictions" are so important to who we becomes as people that you can't let them get away. If you did you'd lose a part of who you are.

I feel sorry for those people that have these "addictions" pulled away from them, it's a terrible thing. But for those that let don't notice it and let it slip away, I have no pity. People need to recognize how lucky they are and appreciate what they have, or else they'll lose it. It's the classic cliche, you don't know what you have until you lose it.

So how 'bout we look at what we have and appreciate it. Wouldn't that be a nice change, instead of complain about what we don't have, appreciate what we do. And once we realize how good these "addictions" are let's not them go. Let's hold on for as long as life will let us. People complain about how no one is committed to anything anymore, so become committed, find your real life "addiction" and hold on too it.

So my question to you is: What is your addiction and how are you going to keep a hold onto it?
