ELIA: Feelings overcome us and they disappear. All of a sudden, little by little. Cyclical like tides. Not always expected, not always unpredictable. They are familiar to us or incredibly strange, pleasant or uncomfortable, sometimes they overstrain. They are an expression of an internal process and often an assessment of what we perceive. Perhaps they reveal more about ourselves than about external facts.
When do we know that our interpretation, which release feelings in us, is correct? We tend to prefer the familiar because we associate it with the pleasant. Unlike, to be open to unpredictability always conceals the possibility for us to understand things and matters differently and to reassess them.
lyrics
TIDE
‘Feels like being a thorn in your side…, no…
I really don’t like to fight…, no…
Yeah, that is not what I like! No!
Yes, feel!
‘Feels like being a thorn in your side…, no…
I really don’t like to hide…, no…
Yeah, that is not what I like! No!
I deserve something better than that.
I like being on fire instead.
What I want doesn’t matter -
that’s bad.
I deserve something better
than that.
Oh listen…
… than that.
‘Cause it’s hurting so bad!
… It’s hurting so bad …
So you feel,
I’m mostly horney at night.
Baby I,
I need to have our best flight.
But you still,
you still don’t do it right,
that might be the TIDE.
You like to fu☺k some other girls, too!
I start loosing my temper…
I’m mad!
I deserve something better
than that.
Oh listen…
… than that.
‘Cause it’s hurting so bad!
… It’s hurting so bad …
So I wanna taste all of the flavors,
I wanna taste them all!
I want to be more than a creator,
I wanna burn the walls!
So I wanna burn Babe,
yes I wanna burn!!!
