A little sad again

Another song's sort of come along to speak to me. Of course, they all do. It's a function of the human mind to look for patterns and significances, even if they're not there.

The song is Somewhere Only We Know by Keane. It reminds me of the place that I used to live with RubyOcelot on FM years and years ago. At some point, Jody sort of gave up on FM and let Ruby be idlepurged, and a couple of years ago I did the same with my character. Since my character owned the place they lived, it vanished too. It was a burrow in a forest. Now this song seems to be about going back there, because I'm still here, but she's not, because Jody's gone... and yearning to join him/her, wherever it is Jody/Ruby's gone.

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me inI'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at meIs this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
[break]

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
