The Fray - Absolute

Ive seen this one before, the girl she gets away
Everybody knows it but no one tries to stop it
Cause she barely even knows him but if she could see inside
Everything is quiet as she waits to tell him who she is

Is this all we get to be absolute

Quiet but Im sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

Its a kiss sits upon on her lips that waits for planes and battle ships
She wants to be a dancer and he has got a picture
On his wall and its a sailor in a new port every night
Yet man was born to trouble like sparks fly upwards innocent

Is this all we get to be absolute

Quiet but Im sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

All we are and all we want
40 years come and gone
All we are in photographs
Will never be taken

Quiet but Im sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want you here
Quiet but Im sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

we always hope for things that dont exist.
I'm standing under a white flag

argue your way through this:

"i am a slave.
i'm living the life my parents want me to.
my schools, subject combinations are chosen by them.
they want me to be a doctor.
i am paid to survive; to live their lives."

just what isnt driving me to push myself onto a road 'accidentally' and get into a car accident?
what is stopping me from running head on towards a fast car?

what is called rebellion?
when you say no to your parents?
when you dont want to follow your parents' wishes?
when you want to break free?

is rebellion when you dont want to be a slave?
why?
defects in your brain?
a tumor grows out during puberty to make you not want to listen to your parents?


some people researched that
'when the child is young, his brain isnt functioned to read the word 'no'. thus whenever you ask your child to.. Not jump, he will want to jump.'

dont know whether it is true anot.
but for current context,
i only know that i want to break free of this enslavement.
i want to get my last pay check and just run away.

what's the point of being nice to your parents now when they just want to continue controlling your lives?
when you go home,
imagine your dad saying 'im going to turn off the internet at 11. i dont care what you are doing.'
instead of 'hi' or even better, 'welcome back.'

what's the social context here.
am i disappointing them now that i'm becoming human instead of a dog?
am i being scolded because im having opinions now?

lets say my opinions are wrong.
would it have been the right way doing it the hard way?

after 17 years you dont know how to talk to me.
well,
i give up reading your expressions and how to react to your snob.




so seriously.
what is stopping me from running away.


and the underlying question:
what do i want to do with my life.
