The title of the blog entry is the name of the song I co-wrote with one of my best friends, Elsa Faith. She's one of the best talent in Singapore and it is really sad to see her leave. But then again, she is living her dream in America now. Check her band out at www.myspace.com/souldistraction.
The story behind this song... is about the betrayal of a good friend and a guy friend. Whatever happened was so long ago. I got over it actually. I can't believe that I did... I liked to thank all those who have helped me through the turmoil. Some of them were right. Time do heal the wound, but then again the scar remains reminding me not to play with "fire". Although I would like to think that all is forgiven and forgotten, it's not exactly chucked in some chest and buried 7 feet under. Like all songs, this song gonna be around for a long time to remind pple not to be too trusting no matter how nice their friends are. I wrote this song in early'06, when I was doing my night shift at HQ. Hahaha... I realised last night that up till only recently, I have totally forgotten the meaning of this song. But last night when Feefee played this song in the car, memories and emotions came flooding.
All I would like to say is, you should never let anyone make u feel small for when you allow that to happen, you are at the lowest point of your life...
Siti asked for the lyrics of this song last night... so here it is...
I only reduce the time I need you
You never seemed to care at all
Never oh oh never
I can barely stand alone now
Looking outside, I know that you won't be there
My eyes are open, I look & I stare
Why aren't you there?
Let's destroy the forest
Let's destroy the sea
Let's destroy the oxygen
That we inhale in you & me
That is what humans do
That is what humans do
I know who destroyed my heart
It's you
Sitting alone at the dinner table
Ate quietly and crying inside
I took my time, that seems forever
Oh such a long, long time
Why did you speak when there's nothing to say?
Why did you leave, there's no door anyway?
How can you forget?
For I can't forget.. the time we shared
Let's destroy the forest
Let's destroy the sea
Let's destroy the oxygen
That we inhale in you & me
That is what humans do
That is what humans do
I know who destroyed my heart
It's you
Yeah we were all just friends
What happen in the end?
Yeah.. I pity the one who's with you...
Let's destroy the forest
Let's destroy the sea
Let's destroy the oxygen
That we inhale in you & me
That is what humans do
That is what humans do
I know who destroyed my heart
It's you
