On bended knee is no way to be freeLifting up an empty cup,
I ask silently All my destinations will accept the one that's me
So I can breathe...
Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know
A mind full of questions, and a teacher in my soul
And so it goes...
Don't come closer or I'll have to go
Holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you...
Overhead...Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me
Guaranteed
-Eddie Vedder
The concept that I believe in but haven't lived to it's fullest, is...the gravity of being pulled to someone, forever loving them. This song is interesting, because in part it suggests there is a love to keep one grounded and in retrospect that marriage may not be the ideal.
There is a struggle by nature that so many people have with the idea of commitment, of being 'tied' to one person. Truly though, if in your heart you are, it's as much torture as not physically being with that person. My hope is that people can begin to uncover themselves, the layers of fear, and past disspointment can only render them helpless if they let it...because to have loved and lost as your own fault, is not better to have not loved at all.
