Lyric


The lyrics I choose for this project are Tomorrow by Valencia.
"Today I’m Valencia but not the name... Today I’m weary but not from the lack of sleep… Today I’m lonely but not of lives… Today I’m sad but not the feeling … Today I’m mad but not at you, anymore… Today I’m dead but not physically… Today I’m dim inside but beaming outside… Today I’m in great but anguish but you wouldn’t know… Today I’m greatly petrified but only of myself, now… Today I’m little but not anyway you can imagine… Today I’m a loser although I conquered you now… Today I want to die but I’m already dead, remember… Today I want to love you but hate is over taken… Today is a beautiful but this is what makes it bad... Today I’m Valencia but tomorrow I must be someone else…"
I choose these lyrics because I could relate to them. I wrote them when I was 12yrs old when I was sadden because my aunt committed suicide. I was closest to her than I was anyone else in my life up to that point. When I missed her a lot I used to write poetry to help me get my emotions out because I hate talking about it. This last week we had a reuniting time with her old friends and family which caused me to remember some of those emotions I use to strongly possess. The lyrics mean to me my feeling and thoughts towards myself and her and other people that made things harder than they had to be.
