different names for the same thing


Alone on a train aimless in wonder
An outdated map crumbled in my pocket
But I didn't care where I was going
'Cause they're all different names for the same place.

The coast disappeared when the sea drowned the sun
And I knew no words to share with anyone
The boundaries of language I quietly cursed
And all the different names for the same thing

There are different names for the same things
There are different names for the same things...



and here i am, listening to the song i used to listen back then when i was in my highskewl years. its funny how a certain song can bring back a whole lot of memories. this song does not remind me of anyone in particular. but it somehow reminds me of me. i used to have a lot of issues with myself. and i was always depressed.

you see, when im depressed, i would grab my keys and just drive wherever the wheel takes me. rainy days are my bestest companion. i love how the sky cries with me. the world becomes gloomy, just like how i want it to.

when im depressed, everything else doesnt seem to matter anymore. the people around me become meaningless, the future gives no meaning, and so does the place i go to....


theyre just places. places Ive been to..and places I go to... theyre all the same to me, just in different ways.


Alone on a train aimless in wonder
An outdated map crumbled in my pocket
But I didn't care where I was going
'Cause they're all different names for the same place.


just like you.
