Remember me (?) (FS12)

Well how about that...? He called me. For the first time in, what? Three, four months? And what did he say? 


Nothing. I just sat there listening to background music and laughter until I hung up.


 It was a mistake. He didn't mean to dial my number. I know where he is, I read about it on that facebook of his. He's at a bar. He's having fun, probably the furthest thing from his mind right now is me.


And yet, when I saw his name on my cell phone screen, I felt a subtle tinge of joy.


Stupid. That's what I am.


Song of the day...

The founding members state that neither had been in any previous bands and have expressed in multiple interviews that the group formed naturally as a result of spending time together as friends.


Lyrics:



It's safe to say I'm lonely now
A place called home 
Is just a memory away
I know I've done this all before
A thousand silent voices 
Begging me to stay

Apologies all left unsaid
Secrets better left unspoken
Dreams are slowly put to bed
Rumors stirred and reawoken

If I try to get away
How long until I'm free?
And if I don't come back here
Will you remember me?

It's safe to say there's nothing now
It's all so quiet but I 
Can't forget the sound
A thousand voices call my name
A thousand hands that 

Pull me back down to the ground
I turn away from what you are
Denying all that you have given
I find a place that's safe and far
In time all will be forgiven

If I try to get away
How long until I'm free?
And if I don't come back here
Will you remember me?


My Interpretation: To me this song is about both voluntarily and involuntarily going to a place where others can't reach you every time things get difficult-figuratively, obviously, like getting lost in your own mind- and wondering if people would miss you or even notice you're gone.
