Get into my Ear: Just Another Girl by The Killers

The Killers - Just Another Girl: http://youtu.be/3BwzP1laWkQ

If you know me, at all, you'll know that matters of the heart are not my forte. I fundamentally believe that you can get through this life without being romantically involved with anyone. I mean, if you doubt me, ask the monks and the Catholic Sisters, Brothers and Fathers. If you happen to fall in love,  well and good. If you don't, it's not the end of the world. I have been, or thought I was at the time, in love. But with the benefit of hindsight right now, I think I never was.

Given my take, it is therefore unusual, absurd even, to have this song on repeat. I tell myself it's because I find every song by The Killers, and Brandon Flowers while we are at it, very entertaining. The Killers would most certainly have a place in my mix tape, if I ever make one. Or maybe it's because the video features Dianna Agron, who looks amazing by the way. Whatever the reason, I have this song on repeat. So why waste time psychoanalysing myself and the absurd reasons behind why I love it. Why not share with the world? I know it sounds pathetic to hold on to the past, but this song gives the past a whole new meaning.

Favourite Lyrics

I could be reeling them in left and right
Something's got a hold on me tonight
Well maybe all of my friends should confront
The fact that I don't want another girl

Then why can't I sleep at night
And why don't the moon look right
The sound's off but the TV's on
And it's a great big world

All of my friends say I should move on
She's just another girl
Don't let it stick to your heart so hard
All of my friends say it wasn't meant to be
And it's a great big world
She is just another girl

The Light Outside the Darkness

I am in the mood of sitting by my bedroom window and watch the stars, see if I can make out the different constellations. But the sky is overcast, making it appear gloomy, so I sit staring into the vast darkness. In the distance, I see light from a second floor window of an apartment, and for no apparent reason, my heart goes out to the occupant(s). Out of this darkness, the light stands out as if trying to get attention, which it does. It's past midnight on a weeknight, so I wonder what the occupant is doing, they should be asleep. I chuckle at the hypocrisy of that thought, because I am awake. Then I feel angry at the occupant, for having their light on and marring the beauty of the night. More surprisingly, am angry that they are awake, therefore, am not the only one who isn't asleep.

I wonder why I have this anger but then I realise that the nights are private. The silence, the solitude and the darkness are things that I enjoy most about the night and I suddenly feel that my privacy is being violated by this person whom I think is studying or working or maybe even sleeping with the lights on. I am irked by this light -however distant it is from me. So I leave my spot by the window and wonder why I am even thinking about these things in the first place!
