Finite Dreams

A girl in search of the meaning of life. I'm slowly finding my place in this thing called life.

Soundtrack of Spiderman 2

Over the last few days since I’ve had to keep sane while finishing a proposal, I’ve been listening to the official soundtrack of  “Spiderman 2”. Not all of the songs were played on the movie but there are some that I really like playing over and over again. Almost all of the songs are about loving people you can only love from a distance, living a life that was forced upon you and also about finding yourself. It’s really about stuff a lot of us are undergoing right now. We don’t have superpowers, but who hasn’t known what’s it’s like to be really frustrated because you can never have the one you love? Who doesn’t occasionally feel like just chucking their responsibilities in the wind and just going for the sort of life they really want? If you are going to get the album, I just need to tell you that there are no sappy love songs in there for the fans of sentimental slow songs.  It’s really a compilation from the popular rock bands of today.
 
I spoke to my friend Cecil last night and I promised I would post here the lyrics to one of my favorite songs from the album, so here it is:

 
Hold On by JET
 
You tried so hard to be someone
That forgot who you are
You tried to fill some emptiness
Till all you had spilled over
Now everything’s so far away
That you don’t know where you are
You are

 
(Chorus)
When all that you wanted
When all that you had don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
For you to belong to
 
When it’s hard to be yourself
It’s not to be someone else
Still everything’s so far away
That you forget where you are
You are
 
(Chorus)
When all that you wanted
When all that you had don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
Hold on
 
(Chorus)
When all that you wanted
When all that you had don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
 
For you to belong to
