Fight the Break of Dawn

I got my NS enlistment letter today (for those who still don't know) and I'm slated to go in on the 6th of December. So come the 6th I'll no longer be a free man. Its pretty hard to grasp such a concept, that for two years, everything you do will be dictated and observed. You'll lose your individuality and your right to exercise free speech and will. You will no longer be able to live a normal life without the constant knowledge and reality of training nagging at the back of your mind, ingrained through rigorous repetition. And you will be bound by those shackles of duty for at best 10 years, at worse, till the age of 40.

Time is a terrible teacher. And an even worse doctor. I got over you.



Eagle-Eye Cherry - [Save Tonight]
Go on and close the curtains
All we need is candlelight
You and me and a bottle of wine
Going to hold you tonight

We know I'm going away
How I wish...wish it weren't so
Take this wine & drink with me
Let's delay our misery

Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone

There's a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away...it's true
It ain't easy to say goodbye
Darling please don't start cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go
Lord I wish it wasn't so

Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone

Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I...that I could stay
Girl you know I've got to go
Lord I wish it wasn't so

Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone...

"Tomorrow" I'll be gone. And the person whom you once knew, who loved you futilely will no longer be.

Rebirth through self-destruction. Maybe Plath, mad as she may have been in her final hours, might have gleaned an insight sanity has denied us all. Fides Spes Caritas.
