Going back to the start

This piece was in Draft for about 2 years and for some moment of perfection that is today, I happened to be reading through some of my Blog's and stumbled across this one just when the very song that I was writing for began to play on the Radio. Coincidences apart, it seems a worthy moment for me to finish and publish this song.

Many times in our lives we spend all our days searching for a meaning. A meaning for something special, something special that sets you apart, something to give you purpose to your life, to your existence on earth and at times just simply - seeking a profound meaning of life's little treasures that are short-lived in reality but remain perennial in your mind keeping you plugged into a constant exploration questioning what if, how, why and why not.....dwelling in what can only be measured as a fraction of a second in reality but a life long journey in your mind - its called a moment. Sometimes meaning can give you angst, hunger for hope and and deprive you of a treasure that is clouded in you just yearning to learn of its meaning.
Meaning, meaning, meaning - the meaning of life, the meaning of love, whats would we do if we didn't step towards that search for the everlasting stairway yearning for the meaning for everything? If you were to fall in love - a supposition that will already take you back to the memory of that past love that you gave up on or passed you by and you wonder and wonder - What if? Then on reflection provide yourself with a choice to dwell on what could have been or decide with the easiest of lies that you have reprogrammed yourself to believe that it was never meant to be and with that wipe that phase away for the moment like swiftly administered amnesia thinking that life must move on.
If only I could go back, If only she actually believed in me, if only I could change myself just a little bit - its such a shame that we had to part. Wish I could be there to look at myself when it all began - right at the start and I'll bet you'll have a smile on your face.

The band Coldplay most times, get emotions, bang-on-spot and leave no stone unturned when it comes to giving you the hope of facing the future of life's little adventures in anticipation of avoiding any (supposed) misery and hoping for a change. Well here is a song pleading for a bit of hope. The Scientist by Coldplay.


Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are.
I had to find you, tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart.
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions,
Oh lets go back to the start.
Running in circles,
Comin' up TailsHeads on a science apart.
Nobody said it was easy,It's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy, No one ever said it would be this hard.
Oh take me back to the start.
I was just guessin' at numbers and figures,
Pulling your puzzles apart.
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart.
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start.
Runnin' in circles, Chasin' up TailsComin' back as we are
Nobody said it was easy,Oh it's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,No one ever said it would be so hard.
I'm goin' back to the start.
