Just seems off.

Almost as if they had been written for/to/about/because of you?
It's kind of eerie.
I know it can be explained as synchronicity (great word, took me three tries to spell it correctly, lol) but all the same, the feeling that someone put your thoughts, your feelings into words in a way you couldn't manage, yourself, is a strange, almost flattering feeling.
There's a track on an album I've owned since before I care to remember that still resonates with me in that way.
Maybe it's that there's nothing new under the Sun, that all the words have already been written and all we're doing is wandering, lost, until we find them and they give our lives meaning.
Or maybe I'm one of those unimaginative, unauthentic, lazy people who prefers to use other people's words.
I once had a song that I just listened to over and over on my iPad, very softly so no-one else could hear, (in a very dark time of life) as I was trying to go to sleep. After a hard day, it was the only thing that seemed to comfort me, however depressing it was. That song just summed my life up completely and I was absolutely in love with it for about six months. I still love it, but I don't listen to it nearly as much now... I'd be depressed as death if I did 😛
