Randomness

Recently, I looked up the lyrics to that Delta Goodrem song, Out of the Blue, and basically, I didn't like them. To say that they were too soppy would be an understatement. So I decided to write another version, the results of which turned out to be, erm, rather depressing:

(Oh, if you aren't familiar with the original lyrics, you might want to check them out first, like here maybe)

Out of the Blue: The version for after they broke up

A sinking feeling
In the middle of the night
Lying awake
Wondering
When it all would end
I knew you never could play tennis anyway
But I guess we're meant to play life's game alone

Out of control
In a black hole
I've never been anywhere that's so cold
I can't find my way
Anywhere in this darkness
Insanity screaming to me
I've never felt this crazy or so
Out of control
No hope for my soul

People like you cause me great strife
I think you've nearly ruined my life
With slander, deceitfulness and all your lies
An AVO will keep us apart
I want you to know you broke my heart
It's turning into a horrible nightmare

I was stupid
To think that you were nice
Spent too much time dreaming about you everyday
The press had snapped it up
Gossip columns would erupt
The world found out that I was all alone

I don't want you to see me cry
I don't want you to tell me why
I know that wounds will heal as time goes by
And it was my choice to bear my heart
By writing this song; turn life to art
Played and sung over and over again

Out of control
Should go on the dole
I'm singing as bad as Shannon Noll
I think that this pain
Goes deeper than any ocean
Dragged out over the airwaves...

Out of control
No hope for my soul

The weird thing is, I started out trying to write something funny....and then it just turned into something depressing, a lot darker than I intended it to be. (Well, with the exception of a few lines that are just plain stupid.)

By the end of writing it, instead of only feeling that her original lyrics were pretty lame, like I did at first, I actually felt quite sorry for her.

Of course, that's just my interpretation of events, she could be really happy for all I know.
