The Secret's In the Telling - Dashboard Confessional
so as we can all see, that one runner kid hasn't posted in quite a while either. so in keeping up tradition, i've decided to post on a more recent dashboard song. this one's called "The Secret's in the Telling."
The signal is subtle
We pass just close enough to touch
No questions, no answers
We know by now to say enough
With only simple words
With only subtle turns
The things we feel alone for one another
so ther's this girl (of course there is). anyway you know this girl so well. unbelievably well. your feelings for her are astronomical. you can barely keep them inside of you. she's also got those same feelings for you. so the thing is, you don't have to mention it. those feelings are COMPLETELY mutual, and you both know it. simple words from each other, subtle movements, they all scream out the emotions inside, and you both know what's there.
There is a secret that we keep
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
We are compelled to do what we must do
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
the scale of those feelings aren't even completely known by anyone but you two. it's a beautiful thing, but when in certain situations, those feelings can't be shown. so on the outside, you're both being forced to do what you know must be done. but in the secret.. on the inside.. unknown to most other people.. those feelings keep cultivating each day.
So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight
as long as we both know those feelings are mutual, then our hearts, our emotions, won't ever change. ever.
Our act of defiance
We keep this secret in our blood
No paper or letters
We pass just close enough to touch
We love in secret names
We hide within our veins
The things that keep us bound to one another
you both know the little things that each other do to show affection. the smallest of glances. the slightest touch; it's all there, and everything is so real.
Until the last resilient hope
Is frozen deep inside my bones
And this broken fate has claimed me
And my memories for its own
Your name is pounding through my veins
Can't you hear how it is sung?
And I can taste you in my mouth
Before the words escape my lungs
both of you will do whatever it takes to not let your rules tear apart the feelings you have for each other. those feelings will never end, even if they can't be shown.
And I'll whisper only once...
you might add in more than just a subtle look, more than just a slight touch.. just to remind them of who you are and where your heart has been given. but not very often...
this has been an evaluation (and possibly a very slight exaggeration of what's going on) by that one runner kid.

"Clocks" by Coldplay
first of all, this song is about a struggle. about the desires of the human heart-longing for both an earthly relationship and one that is out of this world. the war inside a person being fought revolves around this topic and constantly occupies the thoughts and feelings of that person. its appropriately named Clocks....
Lights go out and I cant be saved
or at least you think. everyone comes to a point where they just say "screw it." even though they once had that relationship with Him and experienced all its goodness, they still want to pursue one with her even though they know in the end it wont be for the better.
Tides that I tried to swim against
so He puts things in your path. stumbling blocks that you trip over until finally one of them lands you flat on your face. and you look up pissed off, and He says to you "wanna try my way now?"
Have brought me down upon my knees
and thats exactly what those stumblind blocks do. they finally bring you to your knees in submission. submitting to the fact that your way sucks and wont ever work. His way is the ONLY one that will bring you joy and peace inside. the ONLY one.
Oh I beg, I beg and plead
and oh how sweet it is to be forgiven, but only true forgiveness is asked in sincerity with a humble heart and and open mind.
Singing Come out of things unsaid
well you never said these things to people. and your relationship with Him seemed peachy on the outside. but how bad did it suck. horribly. and youve got to get away from it.
Shoot an apple off my head
if you're going to go through with this, you're going to have to trust Him and trust that His plan will work. will you let Him fire off the apple?
And a trouble that cant be named
or will you still pursue a relationship with her- that faceless person that you keep searching for
A tigers waiting to be tamed
the stubborness, this "tiger" so to speak. it has to be caged. you cant destroy it. its the sinful nature. but if you can harness it and use it to your advantage to pursue a relationship with Him, then do it.
Singing You are You are
funny that the words "You" were already capitalized. i didnt do that. no its not funny. its true. He's the one you need to run after and YOU need to realize that.
Confusion that never stops
but in all this life goes on. and while He's not throwing those rocks out in front of you to make you trip, someone else is. that someone else likes to screw with you. and that pisses you off. because a lot of the time they succeed and throw you into confusion. id like to throw in an explitive in reference to the devil right now, but that wouldnt be appropriate.
The closing walls and the ticking clocks
just when you've gotten everything straightened out in your mind, life is ticking away and you've got to face it. and you've got to punch it in the face sometime.
Gonna come back and take you home
this life will try to interfere. this devil will try to interfere and take you back to where you were before. a place you know to be more comfortable than the one you were striving to achieve.
I could not stop, that you now know
and then funny how "you" isnt capitalized in this one. why? its in reference to everything evil. you cant stop this time and let yourself get sucked into where you once were. you've made it too far this time.
Singing come out upon my seas
so test me. let that life before give you what its got and see if you can withstand it. all the temptations. all the letdowns.
Cursed missed opportunities
and you begin to see where you could have been used in a positive way in previous situations
Am I part of the cure
so will you be used positively this time?
Or am I part of the disease
or will you let yourself go back to where you were?
Singing
You are,you are
You are,you are
You are,you are
You are,you are
one capitalized, one not, one capitalized, one not. its a constant struggle
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
nothing compares to the goodness that can result. and nothing compares to the evil that can result.
You are,you are
and on it goes...
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
but now you're home. after all the struggle its a new home though. one filled with a lot more of Him and a lot less of them. feels a lot better there...
its a good song. check it out sometime.
