Just Sharin Some Tunes

Alright, so I used to be obsessed with Nine Inch Nails. It's hard to call it a band because it's mostly just one guy coming up with the music and the lyrics. Anyway... the music that he writes is usually quite depressing and it sort of scares me how much I used to like his music. That was about five years ago, though, and now days I do not listen to hardly ANY Nine Inch Nails. This song, however, is one that I loved then and I still do. I do not mean to say that I condone any message that the song may be sending (as it is one that is probably not healthy for someone without a strong faith to cling to). I also do not mean to say I am depressed or confused or anything (that's for anyone who finds these lyrics to be depressing). I simply think that the artist captured an extremely strong... emotion(?)... in this song. I would say that it is best captured when actually hearing the lyrics being sung along with the music rather than simply reading them. If you have the time and/or interest, here is a link to the music: right where it belongs

right where it belongs - nine inch nails

see the animal in the cage that you built
are you sure what side your on?
better not look him too closely in the eye
are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
see the safety of the life you have built
everything where it belongs
feel the hollowness inside of your heart
and it's all right where it belongs

what if everything around you isn't quite as it seems?
what if all the world you think you know is an elaborate dream?
and if you look at your reflection is that all you want to be?
what if you could look right through the cracks would you find yourself...
find yourself afraid to see?

what if all the world is inside of your head
just creations of your own
your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
and you really ought to know
you can live in this illusion
you can choose to believe
you keep looking but you can't find the woods
while your hiding in the trees

what if everything around you isn't quite as it seems?
what if all the world you used to know is an elaborate dream?
and if you look at your reflection is that all you want to be?
what if you could look right through the cracks would you find yourself...
find yourself afraid to see?

As I already mentioned, I do not listen to Nine Inch Nails anymore.  If you want to hear a song that I am currently obsessed with, listen to Just a Kiss by Lady Antebellum... Omg

I mean seriously... the chorus?

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't wanna push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright with just a kiss goodnight

and then the second verse?... sigh

I don't know... maybe I am just relieved that it's not another "you're hot, I'm hot, let's play sex and touch each other and be slutty together" song.  Instead it's a song about WAITING and not ruining the love that might mature out of their relationship...
...

Yikes.

But seriously...
It's so good...
...Even if it is on the radio three times within every hour.
