This song is just so powerful I cry every single time I hear it. The singer (James Blunt) is brutally honest about his feelings- you can feel his raw passion through the words. Yet despise his unyielding love for his partner, they have to split up. He has to leave the person that means more than anything to him in the world. What really gets me is the fact that despite the fact they are breaking up, he's still so respectful, truthful, and kind to his partner. This breakup is obviously tearing James to pieces, yet he still manages to say such beautiful words about his ex-partner. Which is why I think the song is inspiring. Even when you're being torn away from something you love, and you feel like your world is ending, there is still the possibility to make something magnificent from it, and it can shape you into a better person. In times of darkness, you can still shine. There is much I could say about the song, but I'll let you listen to it and uncover your own meanings from it instead.

Loveless

When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.

There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds
Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh

My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice
I first heard this poem in a game called Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII and loved it so much that I memorized it.

This piece had really inspired me today in class while I was working on an essay over the significance of reading American literature as well as what it means to be an American and how that has changed over the years.


I feel like this really taught me an understanding of how writing and visual art can work in harmony to convey meaning and purpose, adding a tremendous amount of depth upon contact with one another. With this revelation, I'm really looking forward to taking the course now.​

That gave me food for thinking...it made me take a trip in many memories. It worked for me as a metaphor to lots of things...

Inclined to look over my past writings I scan,
Nothing prepares me for the obscurity of my past thoughts.
Sometimes watching my growth as a writer is needed.
Only, I can certainly be my own worst critic.
My trail of thoughts scatter in all directions,
No hope of me regaining my path.
I sit here pondering the mysteries of my mind,
And miss the sweet rapture of dreams.

Everyone, Don't worry.

Everything will be all right.

This song has made me cry once or twice, but it is also helped me through a lot. It helps me clear my mind so I can write papers or start, but never finish fanfict.

n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with
their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly
around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives
that you'll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background,
as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.​
