photographic escapades
monkeys in my heart, rattling their cages
Posted by Lisha (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on 15 June 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
as the concrete coloured sky was pouring all it's feelings ... i was in the office, with my headphone and my iTunes on full blast at random. i was in my own little cubicle world, oblivious to the chaos of unforgiving deadlines around me.
a beautiful song came up. it's one of my current favorite songs. gary jules' falling awake. and i was imagining that i'm living in my own music video.
one particular line in the beautifully written lyric reminded me of this photo that my brother took (i lomolized, so i have something to do with it still).
Eagle in the dark
Feathers in the pages
Monkeys in my heart
Rattling their cages
Found a way to blooom
Another ghost to follow
Said its only up to you
It’s the hardest pill to swallow
You never get to choose
You live on what they send you
You know their gonna use
Things you love against you
One foot in the grave
One foot in the shower
There’s never time to save
You’re paying by the hour
And that’s just the way it goes
Falling awake
And that’s just the way it goes
Slipping through the bars
Aware of the danger
Of riding in the cars
Taking candy from strangers
You’re never out of hand
Never out of pocket
Super sonic man
Do you want to buy a rocket
Well that’s just the way it goes
Falling awake
Falling awake
And that’s just the way it goes
Falling awake
Falling awake
Eagle in the dark
Feathers in the pages
Monkeys in my heart
Are rattling their cages
I could learn to play the game
Learn to run the hustle
If I only had the brains
The money or the muscle
