placebo - because we want you too
koko; recording the video of 'because i want you'
one of the best times ever. (look at 02.04 minutes..)
you know what everyone's greatest fear is?
it is that all the dreams we have,
all the crazy ideas and aspirations,
all the impossible romantic longings and utopian visions can come true,
that the world can grant us our wishes.
people spend their lives doing everything in their power to fend off that possibility:
they beat themselves up with every kind of insecurity,
sabotage their own efforts,
undermine love affairs and cry sour grapes before the world even has a chance to defeat them.
because no weight could be heavier to bear than
the possibility that everything we want is possible.
if that is true, then there really are things at stake in this life, things to be truly won or lost.
we are your neighbours, your co-workers, the person you flirt with on the bus, students chained to their books, the musicians bent on changing the world with their guitars, the optimists planting seeds in abandoned car parks hoping flowers will bloom in the concrete, the masked insurgents destroying the oppressors environment so a new one might be built.
we are the ordinary, the everyday, the silent and the angry.
we discuss. we argue. we fall in love. we play. we learn.
we are, all of us, the workers, the human labour, the people who create, maintain and ultimately determine the world we choose to live in. it is ours for the taking.
we have no leaders. there are no followers.
you cut out the tongues of the young and you breed a world where there will be no chance to even remorse, that we breed cancer and bombs.
and in 100 years we have destroyed the delicate balances that took millions.
remember the sky before it goes toxic.
and remember to chase butterflies.
and remember to smell the sun.
the present is gone.. fantasy becomes a part of reality.. we take the brakes off.
we're thinking clearly, yet not thinking at all, and this feels right..
we stop trying to control things.
a warm rush of chemicals through us.. we're fluctuating...
is this brain damage?
we forget all the pain and the hurt in life.. we want to go somewhere else.
we're not threatened by people anymore.. all our insecurities have evaporated..
we're in the clouds now. wide open.. we're spacemen, orbiting the earth.. and the world looks beautiful from here.
we're nympholeptics, desiring for the unobtainable.. we risk sanity for moments of temporary enlightenment.
so many ideas, so little memory - the last thought killed by anticipation of the next.
we embrace an overwhelming feeling of love.. we flow in unison.. we're together.
i wish this was real.
we want a universal level of togetherness, where we're comfortable with everyone..
we're in rhythm.. part of a movement.. a movement to escape..
we wave goodbye..
ultimately, we just want to be happy.
I like the sound of the rain on my roof.
I like parties in the woods on a summers night.
Vancouver is the most beautiful city on this planet.
I'm a city girl at heart, but i have suburban roots.
I like changing my hair, as you can probably tell from my pictures. I like trying new and unique things, and I do it all myself.
I'm sick of people lecturing me about something they've never experienced.
I like winning arguments.
I like to feel appreciated.
It rarely happens. ..
