Kings of Convenience - Cayman Islands

Through the alleyways
To cool off in the shadows,
Then into the street
Following the water.
There's a bearded man
Paddling in his canoe,
Looks as if he has
Come all the way from the Cayman Islands.

These canals, it seems,
They all go in circles,
Places look the same,
And we're the only difference.
The wind is in your hair,
It's covering my view.
I'm holding on to you,
On a bike we've hired until tomorrow.

If only they could see,
If only they had been here,
They would understand,
How someone could have chosen
To go the length I've gone,
To spend just one day riding.
Holding on to you,
I never thought it would be this clear.



hai...
its amazing how things just fit into place at times... i never imagined how much this song would affect me... its a gloomy gem... it found me and its breaking through... it makes me feel like opening my dam of tears and fears... such power... hai...

i think the song is about holding on to someone... holding on and never wanting to let go... unfortunately, nothing ever stays as it is... the next best option is to just enjoy the moment...

maybe that's love...

but i wouldn't know...
and if that IS love...
well...
then life is just another gloomy day...
maybe that's why some people just escape with death...
to love someone so much and then just let them slip away...
slipping away into nothing...
slipping without any other reason but to follow the natural order of things...
sometimes i even think that God is such a sadistic being...
to let people experience love and then let them lose it...
but in another light, maybe God is such a loving God....
letting those who have betrayed and disappointed him experience the only two significant experiences that matter...to love and be loved...

when will i ride that bicycle..

i wonder...

with every moment of my life i wonder...



"i never thought it would be this clear"

at it's core...peace in it's truest sense...
