Subconscious Multi-tasking

It’s amazing how boredom can sometimes squeeze some good stuff out of your head. Yes it may seem strange but hey, it does. You know why? Well for one, with nothing to do you’ll be forced to either sleep or think. But after the many hours devoted for sleeping (God knows I really needed the rest), the mind would have enough energy to wander around. Sooner or later, it will bump into something.

It wouldn’t matter what that something is. What would matter is that that something has a potential to push you out of the task of being a log and drive you to do something productive. In my case, it all started with the guitar (again).

I was playing it as usual. Then after some time I got tired of playing the usual songs so I decided that I’d just play with the chords. Of course I laughed at myself a dozen times because of the abysmal chord patters I get to produce. Then once in a while, I’d stumble upon a decent pattern. Slowly, those patterns became an intro, a verse, a refrain, a chorus and a bridge. To make a long story short, in two days I managed to compose a whole song and after a long time, satisfied myself in finishing it.

It really has been a long time since I last composed a decent song. The last once I composed before this one was for my boss angel kats (wuv u) and I even made her think of an appropriate title.

So anyway, I didn’t write this entry just to brag to the people reading this that I made a song. The main reason why I wrote this is not because of that. It’s just that when I played the song over and over again, I realized a lot of things (only two things actually, haha) about myself. Some of those stuff I already know, some I really had no idea that that “stuff” is inside my head at all.

So let’s start at the stuff that I already know. Funny, to be honest, this was the second thing I realized when I finished everything. But what the hell!! Anyway, I realized that I really an a natural multi-tasker (yeah!) because, in composing the song, I managed to stop impersonating a log at home (1), composed a song (2) and was able to reflect on a few about myself (3). O diba? 3 things all in one shot!

The first and real realization that I was able to um… realize was that all I really wanted was to be free from a lot of things I don’t need. Free from all the negative limitations that a lot of factors like society, authority and even myself have imposed and I can’t and must not jump over these limitations in order for me to be considered normal or sane to other people.

I find these things very burdensome. Yes I know that these limits were placed here in the first place because they hinder me from doing negative things. But sometimes, there are just those limitations that really have no purpose. I just want to let all of these go and be free from all the negative stuff that has been hindering me and the other people out there to perform to 100% capacity. So basically, that’s the song’s message. And here it is (I figured, since this whole post is revolving around a song –not the fact that I made one – might as well write the lyrics).
Runaway

You and me, this is how
I picture us to be
Together we can…

Fly away to wherever we
Please, to soar in the clouds
and spread our wings

Let’s runaway to a place
Where we can be free
Let’s say goodbye, to
All the pain and misery
Oh let us be free

Let go, of all the limitations
That life has set, let us shed
All of this and…

Fly away to wherever we
Please, to soar in the clouds
and spread our wings

Let’s runaway to a place
Where we can be free
Let’s say goodbye, to
All the pain and misery

Oh I don’t care what we’ll see
In front of us, with no regrets we’ll

Fly away to wherever we
Please, to soar in the clouds
and spread our wings

Let’s runaway to a place
Where we can be free
Let’s say goodbye, to
All the pain and misery

Let’s run away to a place
Where we can be anybody
We please, a place where
There is no pain and misery

Let’s runaway (x7)
To a place where we can be

And so there it is. Hahaha… I really hope that I can compose songs like this all the time. Oh well, like I always say, bahala na!!!
