Current mood: <\/strong>can’t even describe how spaced out I am
Currently listening to: <\/strong>Shenmue Dreaming While I Wake<\/span> OC Remix<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes music just fits my mood perfectly. This song has been known to move me to tears. Click the link above to download this song (I’m serious – download it now), and then these lyrics will make sense. (I’ve highlighted some of my favorite and most meaningful parts.)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 3 AM and I\u2019m drifting
Staring at an illuminous screen, I\u2019m pondering
What am I doing and why am I here?
It\u2019s times like these when my future isn\u2019t clear
In that place between when you\u2019re asleep and awake
The time that you see yourself so hard to take
That sleepless while where it all falls apart
I wonder how in the world did I get this far?<\/p>\n

<\/span>But then I dream that I am who I want to be
That I\u2019m successful and I\u2019m free
Life\u2019s no longer a mystery<\/span>
I\u2019m a hero on the big screen
I\u2019m romantic hopelessly
I\u2019m a soldier, a pioneer
There is no pain
I have no fear<\/p>\n

Dreaming while I wake, I am so free
When I rise I know my fate, and it makes me believe<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a poet, a Renaissance man
I\u2019m a lone wolf with a battle plan
I\u2019m never alone when I\u2019m with friends
I can look into my own eyes again
I can throw everything to the wind
Without any worries at all
\u2018cuz when I dream, I fly so high
I know I can never fall<\/span><\/p>\n

(No worries, no fears, no nightmares, no tears)<\/p>\n

But then I dream that I am who I want to be
That I\u2019m successful and I\u2019m free
Life\u2019s no longer a mystery
I\u2019m a hero on the big screen
I\u2019m romantic hopelessly
I\u2019m a soldier, a pioneer
There is no pain
I have no fear <\/p>\n

And so, I dream…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
