Its Not
By:Aimee Mann
I keep going round and round on the same old circuit
A wire travels underground to a vacant lot
Where something I can't see interrupts the current
And shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot
And from behind the screen it can look so perfect
But it's not
So here I'm sitting in my car at the same old stop light
I keep waiting for a change but I don't know what
So red turns into green turning into yellow
But I'm just frozen here on the same old spot
And all I have to do is to press the pedal
But I'm not
People are tricky you can't afford to show
Anything risky anything they don't know
The moment you try - well kiss it goodbye
So baby kiss me like a drug, like a respirator
And let me fall into the dream of the astronaut
Where I get lost in space that goes on forever
And you make all the rest just an afterthought
And I believe it's you who could make it better
Though it's not
No it's not...
No it's not...
The struggles and thoughts of a Christian guy trying to deal with his broken sinful nature.

Its Not
This song seems like the story of my life sometimes.
AJ,
ReplyDeleteReading the words of this song just gave me the creeps. Like a mouse going around on that wheel, legs moving, getting exercise, but never leaving the confines of that drab world. My friend, please don't compare your life to this, even for a moment, it is deadening. Always keep hope alive no matter how things feel or look. God bless. You are loved.
