The truth is a bitter friend...

This Side
Nickel Creek

One day you'll see her and you'll know what I mean
Take her or leave her she will still be the same
She'll not try to buy you with her time
But nothing's the same, as you'll see when she's gone

It's foreign on this side
And I'll not leave my home again
There's no place to hide
And I'm nothing but scared

You dream of colors that have never been made
You imagine songs that have never been played
They will try to buy you and your mind
Only the curious have something to find

It's foreign on this side
And the truth is a bitter friend
But reasons few have I to go back again

Your first dawn blinded you, left you cursing the day
Entrance is crucial and it's not without pain
There's no path to follow once you're here
You'll climb up the slide and then you'll slide down the stairs

It's foreign on this side
But it feels like I'm home again
There's no place to hide
But I don't think I'm scared

This song expresses so much of what I feel so often. So different from everyone else. Sometimes, I feel like I experience life in a way that no one else ever has. I guess, though, that, since we are all unique individuals, we must all experience life differently, and that's what makes it so interesting. If we all felt the same all the time, life would be boring. I just feel so...weird sometimes, you know? Like, there is no one else in the whole world like me. I am an anomally. Oh well...just let the lyrics speak to you how they will, I guess. I love Chris Thile. I love the way he writes. Man, I wish sometimes that I could manipulate language the way some people do. My stuff feels absolutely weak, comparatively.

Meh. ;)
