I FORGET WHERE WE WERE

 There is this guy. He wants to fight for it. 'I was watching Syria blinded by the sunshine strip'. He thinks about it. And then there is his girl; she doesn't want to watch to the horrible things that are happening in this world. There is this great sentence in his lyrics: 'the great dividing range, the green, green grass'. I think our life is great, but there are so many other places where it is worse. 

The guy keeps shooting, but it won't help. The girl is still ignoring it. She tries to convince the guy it isn't so bad. 'Don't take it so seriously, only time is ours, the rest we'll just wait and see'. In the end, they are standing there watching the building by the sunshine strip. He leaves, she leaves. He gives up, he forgets it. The building is falling. If you don't do anything about it, it will be destroyed. Its a meaning in a lot of different ways.  The moments that they are dancing: they are dancing in a room full of smoke with their eyes closed.

They want to be together, don't look to the world, don't look to what's happening. But in the end: the guy has still closed his eyes, but the girl is watching. The whole time she is pretending that she doesn't see what's happening, but she is actually the cause of the problem. She is trying to convince him and the others that it's not there. 'The blind leading out the bored'; we hear so much about it.

If this is about war: is she representing the country that is making it worse and hopes the rest of the world become blind for the problem, but it's still there? Or is it about a relationship or about life?  What about the book? We are just living our lives, thinking about ourselves and not about somebody else? Life is going by and we are losing ourselves?

This man is a genius. Let your mind think about it.
