I think she is describing the process of a highly charged, numinous encounter with the unconscious. the feelings associated with love/attraction is something previously reserved for religious activity -- because it is so dangerous. however, we are in the age where this is how we encounter our unconscious -- through romance. so, "throw yourself in" she says. but then she acknowledges its power in the hands of someone not capable of yet of fully appreciating its significance and consequences -- "keep one eye open at night."
such a beautiful, simple and powerful constellation of images. truth to me.
@acrylique ~ could be. i think it means something different to everyone. and yeah, beware of bitches.
@lance ~ i never really saw the religion angle. i'm glad you did your homework. hehe
yes, she really did paint a pretty picture with those words. yes, they are very truthful to me too.
@jepoy ~ i-literal daw ba? haha para kalang nastroke.
@rudeboy ~ "Hopeful but not naive. Careful but not jaded. Aware but not bitter."
that's exactly what i aspire to be. that's probably why the lines hit me so hard.
@engel ~ no prob. it sounds reaaallly good with music. i just couldn't find one online na pwedeng ilagay sa player. there's an official video sa website niya. it's really good. (sorry fanboy mode)
@mike ~ haha ikaw pala si bella?
@joel ~ nice right? actually i really love that whole record.
@xtian ~ mahirap talaga. it's so easy to get lost in the feeling of being in love. pero tama siya, kailangan may konting care parin. di pwedeng talon lang ng talon.
@YJ ~ in love ka? kwento ka!!! haha tandaan mo lang yung advice. it couldn't hurt. keep one eye open at night.
hahaha.
