Sandman on Love
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up a whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life… You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ or ‘how very perceptive’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love. I hate love.
Rose Walker, talking to Desire about love in The Kindly Ones.
The End of Evangelion
Reality exists in a place unknown, and dreams exist within reality.
And truth lies in your heart.
The contents of a persons heart shapes their appearance.
And new images will shape their hearts and their forms.
The power of imagination is the ability to create your own future
and the power to create your own flow of time.
But if people don’t act to their own free will
then nothing would change at all
EXPECTATIONS MIGHT HURT YOU, SO EXPECT TO GET HURT.
THIS IRONY
Refuse to say the words
I never get to be
the one you need, you see?
Amid this kind of animosity
I go running nowhere, you see?
I stalled and lost my train of thought
I scaled my chances of lying next to you
This irony of shameless look
They go beyond their fantasy
Don’t just fly out in trance
Like everybody played me down
We’ll stay out on a ledge and
Don’t rush we will still get there
You said
Release, release the big escape
I lean, I lean with my hands burning
Staring blankly your eyes just fade away
From cloudy mind I dare inside
We go outside
Relax into the beat
Get fooled on foot
Too much oblivion
Amid this kind of animosity
I go running nowhere, you see?
