Growing Old Is Getting Old...

Came across this one in a tv series, at the time I thought nice song I should get it...
Once I realised the title and the lyrics I thought, how pertinent ;)
It is a great song, something that pushed me towards getting old, to write my pending Japan posts so I could share this one. At a time of choice, fear is always present, and has in dune "fear is the mind killer". The mind plays numb, makes you redundant, until it is out of your reach. You see it and yet... Well not the point of the post, enjoy the song, and get a bit older, in time and wisdom...



So we all
Are growing old
And it's getting old

Pressure on
Our hollow bones
And the (varicose)?

Suddenly
We decompose
But we're not alone

So we all
Are growing old

Maybe we're sealed in silence
And maybe we feel a guidance
Maybe your own devices
Will keep you afraid and cold
But I

Memorized
Your smile lines
From left to right

(Candlelight)?
And childlike
Reaction time

We're allowed
To expire

So we all
Are growing old

Pull out the fear of silence
And put out the need for guidance
And put out your own devices
And don't be afraid of the cold

And we sing, sing, sing.
Fight, we fight, fight.
We cry, cry, cry.
We slide, slide, we slide into the light.

We sing, fight, we cry.
We slide, slide, we slide into the light.

Maybe we're sealed in silence
And maybe we feel a guidance
Maybe your own devices
Will keep you afraid and cold, well.

Pull out the fear of silence
Put out the need for guidance
Put out your own devices
And don't be afraid of the cold
Afraid of the cold
Afraid of the time
You've got no where to go but here.
