Turn The Page

I never understood english music and I never understood rock music and I was never a fan. But as they say ... only thing constant is change ... Here I Am .. changing myself ... !

Metallica - Turn the page !!!!
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine's
moanin' out it's one old song
You can think about the woman or the girl
You knew the night before

But your thoughts will soon be wandering
The way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours
And there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin'
You just wish the trip was through

Chorus:
Here I am, On the road again
There I am, Up on the stage
There I go, Playin' star again
There I go, Turn the page

So you walk into this restaurant
Strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
As you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
But you just want to explode

Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk
But other times you can
All the same old cliché's:
"Is it woman? Is it man?"
And you always seem outnumbered
You don't dare make a stand
Make your stand

Chorus:
Here I am, On the road again
There I am, Up on the stage
Here I go, Playn' star again
There I go, Turn the page

Whoa-oh
Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy, you try and give away
As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play

Later in the evenin' as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Rememberin' what she said
What she said

(Yeah, what she said.)

Yeah
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playn' star again
There I go, turn the page
And there I go, turn that page
There I go, yeah
Here I go, yeah(3x)
There I go, there I go
(And I'm gone)
Dedicated to MYSELF !

Lyrics copied from Sing365.com

I dont know how valid this entire discussion aka argument is but I still have to put it in words. People perish, thoughts perish but records last forever (if not forever, at least longer).

People just get a vauge idea and some spent their life times running after it. Chasing it till the time they drop dead (4 words with Ts in last 8 words ... 50%). I have this idea of ruling over the world some day (sounds like Brain) and I thought I was working towards it but learning to conquer the building unit of the world - not the electrones or cells but people. All this while I have been trying to learn sociology, phsychology, philosophy etc. And I have now realized it doesnt even matter (no I did not steal this from Linkin Park)

I always thought I was good with people and could manipulate and find my way. In just about 8 months I have realized I did not even know myself leave apart human understanding. Why do some people (including me) never want to leave their comfort zones? I tried doing that and proud to say that I failed.

We judge people according to moral/ethical/social norms and standards decided by us (actually people who had an oppurtunity to live before us). They dint do anything great, they dint come up with revolutions and they dint come up with a history of mankind. Things happened and they would have happened if instead of them, it would have been me or you or our future generations.

To cut a story short ...
Here I am, On the road again
There I am, Up on the stage
Here I go, Playn' star again
There I go, Turn the page
