Soundtrack to my Life

"I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home Yeah, I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone." - MGMT (The Management)

MGMT- Time to Pretend (photo from the music video)

     These lyrics describe what I feel I am going to sometimes be thinking about when in university next year from time to time. Even though I'm so pumped to be out in the world alone (well not alone but you know what I mean) making my own decisions and finding my own way, I think I'll for sure find myself missing all of the above, especially the comfort of my Mother <333. I already do miss my childhood where nothing mattered all that much and I in fact did go dig up worms in my backyard and then made mud homes for them. hahahaha.

                I also interpret that the song is saying that life is short so go make it the best by saying;

"This is our decision, to live fast and die young. We've got the vision, now let's have some fun."

     If you know what you want to do go out and make it happen so that you can accomplish something in your life and be proud.

 

"Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do. Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute."

     This line just makes me think of getting old and what adulthood is going to be like... so routine. But I guess it's like being a kid and going to school everyday, in the sense of having a routine and then again it's so much more. This song is like my life because I was young once and didn't have a care in the world and then I started growing up and let go of my childhood and having dreams and visions about my life to come. Then one day I will wake up and go to work but I'll enjoy ever second of it because it'll be something I love to do.
