There is no particular reason why I chose to “disect” this song. I was just listening to it a while ago and it just gave off this intense emotion (big thanks to how the music was building up to a climactic chorus).
Love IS an intense emotion. It is also, in itself, an evolving matter that should not be rationalized. They say when you start to feel the hurt, then you’ve felt what love is in its volatile form. It is a given, because in relationships we sacrifice so many things. Sacrifice means giving up something we hold on to as important and valued. But like everything else in this world, things have to be in order and in a healthy balance. You cannot hurt all the time, nor can you be in a perpetual blissful state. It is but crucial to understand a few simple things: honesty, trust, and a leap of faith.
With honesty you don’t have to be constantly in denial, with yourself and with the one you love. It’s the key that frees you from your shackles, and enables you to sleep at night without any burden. Trust releases you from unnecessary (and even the justifiable) paranoia. It also makes you sleep peacefully at night. And that leap of faith, keeps you from missing out on the things that really matter.
I know these things because they’ve kept me on track (and sane!) for the past 5 years I’ve been in love. I have been both hurt and happy, and experienced a couple of those intense emotions (and outbursts..hehehe), but every night, before I sleep, and every morning when the good Lord wakes me up, I’m still in love with same guy.
Where does “Collide” come in? He told me he missed me when he heard the chorus. That’s all. (nahangal noh?…hehehe…but I meant every crap I said…really)
