speakup, child

Wakin' up to find another day
The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had it’s say
I guess I feel alright

But it hurts when I think, when I let it sink in
It’s all over me
I'm lying here, in the dark
I’m watchin' you sleep, it hurts a lot

And all I know is
You’ve got to give me everything
And nothing less 'cause
You know I’d give you all of me

I’d give you everything that I am
I’m handin over everything that I’ve got
'Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don’t ever wanna have to go and give you up
Stay up 'til four in the morning and the tears are pouring
And I wanna make it worth the fight
But what have we been doing for all this time
Baby if we’re gonna do it come and do it right

All I wanted was to know I'm safe
Don’t wanna lose the love I found
Remember when you said that you would change
Don’t let me down
It’s not fair, how you are
I can’t be complete, can you give me more?

everything is ambiguous.

let us examine language.
you might be wondering how language, diction and syntax and all, can be ambiguous when every word can be defined.
indeed every word has a clear and precise meaning.
but take for example, something so direct and clear such as the signs in the subway.
"Dogs must be carried on the escalator."
not to down play anyone's intelligence, i believe we all can interpret the obvious.
but that sentence in itself can stir confusion.
does it mean we have to grab a random mutt in order to ride on the escalators?
a drunk man stumbling over his feet, after stablizing himself, squinting at the sign, may exclaim
"Ah! How true."
some other animal right's activist may be appalled, suggesting that not everyone knows how to handle a mongrel the proper way.or that animals should not be treated as handicaps.

how you understand something has everything to do with what you bring to it

dont blame someone for not seeing things your way, for not understanding you.
we're not you.

make sense of that
