Starting Over
This is a bit of creative experimentation. Using some video clips from just a few of my favorite videos, I strung together some lyrics to form a new story about starting over. The pictures? They aren't supposed to make any sense. Just something to look at. Below are the lyrics I used.One warning...this is VERY low tech.("Criminal" by Fiona Apple)I've been a bad, bad girl...("Polyamorous" by Breaking Benjamin)Just when you think that you're all right I'm crawlin out from the inside I never hurt anyone I never listen at all just stay away from the white light I'd say your worst side's your best side I never hurt anyone I never listen at all- well how do you know? well how do you know? well how do you know? well how do you know? ("Wonderful" by Everclear)And I don't wanna start over again I just want my life to be the same Just like it used to be Some days I hate everything I hate everything Everyone and everything Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now...("Lonely Day" by System of a Down)Such a lonely day, and it's mineThe most lonliest day of my life.Such a lonely day should be banned, this day that I can't standthe most lonlinest day of my life, the most lonliest day of my life...("Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence)Wake me up inside, wake me up inside, call my name and save me from the dark, bid my blood to run, before I come undone, save me from the nothing I've become...("Breaking the habit" by Linkin Park)I don't know how I got this way, I know it's not all right, so I'm breaking the habit tonight...("I'm So Sick" by Flyleaf)I will break! Break! I'm so sick, infected with where I live Let me live without this empty bliss, selfishness I'm so sick... ("It's been a while" by Staind)And everything I can't remember As fucked up as it all may seem The consequences that I've rendered I've gone and fucked things up again Why must I feel this way? Just make this go away Just one more peaceful day! And it's been awhile Since I could look at myself straight And it's been awhile Since I said I'm sorry... ("Savin' Me" by Nickelbank)I'm falling, I'm falling, Show me what it's like To be the last one standing. Teach me wrong from right, And I'll show you what I could be. Say it for me, say it to me, And I'll leave this life behind me, Say it if...("It's Not Over" by Daughtry)Can we make this something good? Well I'll try to do it right this time aroundLet's start over,I'll try to get it right this time around,It's not over,A part of me is dead and in the ground...("Falling" by Staind) I already told you that falling is easy, It's getting back up that becomes the problem, becomes the problem. If you don't believe you can find the way out, You've become the problem, become the problem. ("The Reason" by Hoobastank)I'm not a perfect person there many things I wish I didn't do But I continue learning I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new... ("What I've Done" by Linkin Park)So let mercy come And wash away What I've done I've faced myself To cross out what I've become Erase myself And let go of what I've done For what I've done I'll start again And whatever pain may come Today this ends I'm forgiving what I've done ("So Far Away" by Staind)This is my life Its not what it was before All these feelings I've shared And these are my dreams That I'd never lived before Somebody shake me 'Cause I I must be sleeping Now that we're here So Far Away All the struggle We thought was in vain All in the mistakes One life contained They all finally start to go away Now that we're here, So Far Away And I feel like I can face the day I can forgive andI'm not ashamed To be the person that I am today ("Imagine" by John Lennon) You might say I'm a dreamer, But I'm not the only one. I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will be as one.
