Black and White

The contrast between the two aren't stark, yet they aren't fuzzy. It's just plain. Plain black and white.

It's not compulsive or comfortable - it's straightforward and simple.

Sometimes I wish life could be that way, without it's hassles and trifles, kinks and knots. I often read about utopian societies, like in The Giver (the movie's coming out soon!), and sometimes wish that life could be organized that way. There would be no fear of wrong choices - there would hardly ever be choices even. There would be safety and contentment in the classy simplicity offered. There would be no pain, or no knowledge of pain even if there was.

Yet people want more out of life, and I understand that too. They develop healthy appetites for the new and unknown, the colourful and unpredictable, the ups and downs, gaining breathless satisfaction and developing yet another voracious appetite for more adventure and experiment.

But I'm so tired of having to make choices and fear for the consequence behind the door I choose.

I'm sick of worrying about what to do and not to do because everything and anything can be done - the possibilities countless, the risks endless.

As tragic and cruel as it sounds, a predetermined path sometimes seems more inviting than an unpredictable one. I could wake up each morning without that uneasy lurch in my gut from being already overwhelmed by the day that lies ahead as I regain my senses. I could go about my activities without having to unnecessarily wonder if my actions convey the wrong message and illicit some juicy unfavourable gossip behind my back. I could go to bed without another fuck given worrying about the time I lost, and what lies in future for me.

The pain from all the complexity and colour blaring in your face leaves me so disorientated and demoralized. I like the peaceful feeling I get from looking at black and white images, defining timeless features, showing simple gradients and still leaving some pockets and spaces of white for some rest.

I want my life to be as simple and content as could be to a great extent, though I still have a taste for the unique and different.

For now, at least.

There would probably come a time when I decide otherwise and delve into the colours instead.

Anw! Here's one of Foxes latest song that I like! You may recognise Foxes from Zedd's Clarity - I love most of her songs like Echo and White Coats!

Let Go For Tonight

by Foxes



Fell from the sky
We fell from the sky and started walking
Leavin' our footprints on the ground

It might be a prayer
Or maybe a piece of conversation
Wherever we go we make a sound

So I call your name, the only thing I know
Is I need you here, will you be gone forever?
All that I know, all that I know is we're here tonight
Turn off the lights

Let go for tonight baby
Let love in your life and be shown (turn off the lights)
Let go for tonight baby, who needs sleep tonight?
I need to let go, let go
Let go, let go, turn off the lights
Let love in your life baby, who needs sleep tonight?

I wanna drive
I wanna drive into the open
Lookin' for reasons I can't find

So I call your name, the only thing I know
Is I need you here, will you be gone forever?
All that I know, all that I know is we're here tonight
Turn off the lights

Let go for tonight baby
Let love in your life and be shown (turn off the lights)
Let go for tonight baby, who needs sleep tonight?
I need to let go, let go
Let go, let go, turn off the lights
Let love in your life baby, who needs sleep tonight?

I need to let go, let go
Let go, let go
I need to let go, let go
Before we're gone, gone, gone

So I call your name, the only thing I know
Is I need you here, will you be gone forever?
All that I know, all that I know
Is I need you here, will you be gone forever?

What do you want?
I need you here, will you be gone forever?
All that I know, all that I know
Is we're here tonight
Turn off the lights

Let go for tonight baby
Let love in your life and be shown (turn off the lights)
Let go for tonight baby, who needs sleep tonight?
I need to let go, let go
Let go, let go, turn off the lights
Let love in your life baby, who needs sleep tonight?

I need to let go, let go
Let go, let go
I need to let go, let go

Fell from the sky
We fell from the sky and started walking
Leavin' our footprints on the ground
