Who's Gonna Watch You Die?

What Sarah Said by Death Cab For Cutie.

And it came to me then that every plan

Is a tiny prayer to father time

As I stared at my shoes in the ICU

That reeked of piss and 409

And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself

That I’ve already taken too much today

As each descending peak on the LCD

Took you a little farther away from me

Away from me

Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines

In a place where we only say goodbye

It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend

On a faulty camera in our minds

And I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose

Than to have never lain beside at all

And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground

As the TV entertained itself

‘Cause there’s no comfort in the waiting room

Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news

And then the nurse comes ‘round and everyone lift their heads

But I’m thinking of what Sarah said

That love is watching someone die

So who’s gonna watch you die? So who's gonna watch you die?

I think if you've ever sat outside of the ICU, watching someone you love being taken away from you a little every second, you'll be able to relate with what the song is saying.

Sitting in the waiting room; oblivious to your surroundings; only the thoughts of that person clouding your mind; praying, hoping they'll be fine.

I still remember you, cuz, like it was only yesterday when we were laughing our heads off.

It feels like yesterday when we were arguing about football, you teasing me, all the sleepovers, the random games and stupid fights.

I know you're in a better place now.

R.I.P. cuz.

I love the meaning of this song, and the feeling it is sung with, enough to give someone goosebumps. Everytime I listen to it, it feels like I'm transported back to that day, and all the memories come rushing back as i'm caught in a whirlwind of feelings.

On a much more happier note:

2 exams left.

And one's just MCQ's on Friday. And that's just revision.

So the party is gonna begin soooooooon. :)

I go now.

Take care homies!
