the lyrics:
THE BIGGEST LIE YOU EVER TOLD:
THE DEEPEST FEAR ’BOUT GROWIN OLD:
THE LONGEST NIGHT YOU EVER SPENT:
THE ANGRIEST LETTER YOU NEVER SENT:
THE BOY YOU SWORE YOU’D NEVER LEAVE:
THE ONE YOU KISSED ON NEW YEAR’S EVE:
THE SWEETEST DREAM YOU HAD LAST NIGHT:
YOUR DARKEST HOUR:
YOUR HARDEST FIGHT:
THE SADDEST SONG YOU EVER HEARD:
THE MOST YOU SAID WITH JUST ONE WORD:
THE LONELIEST PRAYER YOU EVER PRAYED:
THE TRUEST VOW YOU EVER MADE:
WHAT MAKE YOU LAUGH:
WHAT MAKE YOU CRY:
WHAT MAKES YOU MAD:
WHAT GETS YOU BY:
YOUR HIGHEST HIGH:
YOUR LOWEST LOW:
THESE ARE THE THINGS I WANNA KNOW…..
And so goes this song....
One of the best songs Bryan Adams has crooned. At least for me.
And this is just a small exercise to unplug me through his words, which are so simple yet meaningful.
Everyone can give it a try!
THE BIGGEST LIE YOU EVER TOLD:
I HATE POISON, BUT ACTUALLY SHE WAS MY STRENGTH.
THE DEEPEST FEAR ’BOUT GROWIN OLD:
THERE AIN’T NO FEAR ABOUT GETTING OLD… THE ONLY FEAR I HAVE – I DON’T WANNA BE MISS-UNDA-STOOD!
THE LONGEST NIGHT YOU EVER SPENT:
OUTSIDE THE ICU OF DOWN TOWN HOSP, SITTING ON THE STAIRS. A COLD JANUARY NIGHT. WAS COUNTING THE TICK…TICK…TICK..AS AITA WAS PUT UNDER VENTILLATION… WAS ABOUT QUARTER TO FOUR WHEN THE TICK…TICK..TICK STOPPED AND I KNEW I LOST HER FOREVER.
THE ANGRIEST LETTER YOU NEVER SENT:
I NEVER SENT THE LETTER TO NIKI. IT WANS’T A LETTER. WAS VENTING OUT MY ANGER, HATERED AND WRATH, BUT THE LUICKY BASTARD FOUND IT, COZ HIS HAS THIS NASTY AND ANNOYING HABIT OF DIGGING DEEPER UNDERGROUND.
THE BOY YOU SWORE YOU’D NEVER LEAVE:
G!
THE ONE YOU KISSED ON NEW YEAR’S EVE:
LAST NEW YEAR’S EVE WAS THE GUY ISIS LOVES!
THE SWEETEST DREAM YOU HAD LAST NIGHT:
WAS SO REAL… I WISH IT COULD LAST FOREVER!
YOUR DARKEST HOUR:
REALIZING ONE FINE DAY THAT I WAS SINGLED OUT.
YOUR HARDEST FIGHT:
KEEPING MY SANITY INTACT EVEN WHEN I WAS GOING THRU HELL.
THE SADDEST SONG YOU EVER HEARD:
INSIDE OUT – BRYAN ADAMS, THE ONE I AM EXPERIMENTING NOW.
THE MOST YOU SAID WITH JUST ONE WORD:
MOMO!
THE LONELIEST PRAYER YOU EVER PRAYED:
PRAYING FOR A LIFE THAT WAS SLIPPING OUT AND I COULD DO NOTHING MORE. PRAYING FOR ALL THE ONES I’VE LOVED AND EVENTUALLY LOST.
THE TRUEST VOW YOU EVER MADE:
WHEN I SAID “I DO”. ..but almost broken now
WHAT MAKE YOU LAUGH:
ALL THE SILLY GOOF-UPS I MAKE, GUTU’S ANTICS, INNOCENT BLUNDERS, TOM & JERRY!
WHAT MAKE YOU CRY:
HONESTY, TRUTH, LOVE, BONDING, ATTACHMENT, EMOTONS…. AND PEELING ONIONS TOO!
WHAT MAKES YOU MAD:
DEADLINES, WHEN I AM BROKE, REJECTIONS, DENIAL, FAILURE.
WHAT GETS YOU BY:
EASY COME EASY GO! A LIFE WITH NO FIXED ADDRESS AND DESTINATION … FOR HE WHO DOESN’T ENJOY THE JOURNEY CAN NEVER REACH HIS DESTINATION!
YOUR HIGHEST HIGH:
47000 FEET ABOVE THE SEA LEVEL CHANTING OM MANI PADME HUM! AND YEAH! BEING ONE OF THE GOLD MEDALIST IN MY COMPANY IN THREE MONTHS!!! PHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWW!!!!
YOUR LOWEST LOW:
WHEN I THOUGHT I’D BE DEAD IN MY SLEEP AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW! I WAS GOING THROUGH A MAJOR DEPRESSION. I WAS PARANOID AND WAS ABSOLUTELY LONELY. I WAS A LIVING DEAD. I FELT THERE WAS NO REASONS FOR MY EXISTENCE. BUT THAT’S A LONG GONE EPISODE NOW, THANKS TO MY MENTOR SANGITA GOSWAMI, DID I THANK HER ENOUGH? I GUESS I DID!
