Week Thirty-Eight: Cause & Effect - "It's Over Now" - Trip

Ha! So, as I was listening to this song, I was thinking about how my friend and I would play this game in college where we would try our hardest to incorporate song titles and song lyrics into our everyday conversations.

Anytime we were able to accomplish this task, we earned *a point*! These points didn't amount to anything really, other than reinforcing an ultimate coolness factor in our own minds, but it was still fun to play.

I was also thinking about how I should have recorded this song over and over and over again on a cassette and given it to the ex that I mentioned in this week's opening post. Sadly, his sick-and-twisted sociopathic and narcissistic mind would have probably completely overlooked the fact that the song clearly states: "It's Over Now". Oh no, he would have seen the gesture of giving him the cassette as an ounce of hope; so it's probably better that I didn't...

I guess it's over now 

I think we've seen the end

When our common dream

Faltered in-the-betweens 

Though I've tried so hard to make it real 

It doesn't matter now 

I guess it never did

(chorus)

And it's alright alright alright with me

And it's alright if that's how you want it to be 

I've learned through weaknesses
and through the web of your lies
That everyday I live
Another piece of me dies
And in the black and white
I found a need to move on
To find a road of gold
A throne to live upon

And it's alright alright alright with me
And it's alright if that's how you want it to be 

If there's a reason for the pain
Then let me know
 If there's a reason for the pain
Then let me know
If there's a reason for the pain
Then let me know
If I'm the reason for your pain
Then let me go 

And it's alright alright alright with me.
And it's alright if that's how you want it to be.
