refuge

is (currently) listening to 'Closer to the Edge' by 30 Seconds to Mars on loop.

i know some people who would consider this to be screamer music (my parents, for one). and honestly, i thought it was a bit chaotic when i first listened to it.

but now i love it.

maybe it's the fact that 30 seconds to Mars remind me of Linkin Park (who will always rock, no matter how crappy their albums seem to be getting.. :P).

it could be because i'm blown away by the supermegaawesome e-guitar+drum combo that you're hearing in the background.

or maybe because the official video started off by saying things like "Live life to the fullest,", and "Don't regret whatever you've done or whatever's happened, because those things make you who you are." Stuff like that.

or maybe it's because they're screaming their lungs out, pouring all their feelings and emotions into the words of the song, letting themselves become absorbed in the music, letting themselves be the music..letting themselves go.

maybe it's got nothing to do at all with the song per se, but everything to do with me drowning myself in this song, just taking everything in to block everything else out.

in any case, it's comforting, particularly with speakers/headphones with a bass booster. :)

"NO, I'M NOT SAYING I'M SORRY
ONE DAY MAYBE WE'LL MEET AGAIN
NO, NO, NO, NO..."
