How far have I come?

Due to a rift in the slipstream, inducing anomalies in the quantum timeline, a temporal displacement has occurred on this blog, shifting posts forward in time by 504 hours. We apologise for any inconvinience this may have caused.

I läsande stund var det tre veckor sen som jag skulle ha min sista vecka här, (så det har stått "sista veckan!" i tre veckor nu i rubriken...) men pga ovan nämnda temporala förskjutning med 504 timmar så kommer det här inlägget inte dyka upp förrän den 11 maj. Det är svåra saker det här med störningar i tid-rumkontinuiteten. Men tänk inte för mycket på det. Jag har anlitat samma apor som sköter servicen på Youtubes servrar att se till att något liknande inte händer igen. Now back to the show.

Jag funderade länge och vilken som skulle bli min sista ESVAM. Vilken sista sång är värd att minnas? Igår kväll när jag var ute på stan och geocachade (ja, det är en mindre känd hobby jag har) slog det mig. Eller det slog mina trumhinnor, eftersom jag började lyssna på låten. Låt mig presentera Matchbox Twenty, med deras snudd på nihilistiska How Far We've Come. En text som är vidöppen för tolkning. Kan du tolka den på samma sätt som jag först gjorde?

Ett tips; läs texten här under istället för den i videon, jag tror att den är mer korrekt. :)




Hello
Hello
Hello

I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
But it's feeling just like every other morning before,
Now I wonder what my life is gonna mean if it's gone,
The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour
And I started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?

I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I believe it all is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come

I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know
And I can't remember caring for an hour or so
Started crying and I couldn't stop myself
I started running but there's no where to run to
I sat down on the street took a look at myself
Said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell
Say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to

I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come

It's gone, gone, baby, it's all gone
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
It was cool cool, it was just all cool
Now it's over for me and it's over for you
Well it's gone, gone, baby, it's all gone
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
Well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
Now it's over for me and it's over for you

I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come

Sen vill jag länka till den här videon också, (som tyvärr inte gick att embedda) eftersom den har ett fantastiskt kraftfullt bildspel satt till samma låt. Jag blev klart berörd av valet av bilder, och låten fick ytterligare en mening för mig.

Vi ses bortom gryningen.
