Fine Again - Seether

Greetings,

I was listening to music (as I am apt to do throughout the day), and "Fine Again" by Seether came up. The lyrics of this song really seemed to speak to me. The part I am specifically interested in is:

'It seems like every day's the same

and I'm left to discover on my own

It seems like everything is gray

and there's no color to behold

[...]

And I am aware now of how

everything's gonna be fine one day

[ ...] I am prepared now,

seems everyone's gonna be fine...'

The first verse shows what life is like before we wake up to it. Before we realize that we are in control. Everything is bland, very plain. We are victims of our circumstances. But when we wake up - when we become 'aware' - we realize that we are in control, we do not need to be worried about life anymore. Everything is fine right now; the song says 'one day,' but, in reality, when we become aware, everything is fine right now, we do not even need to change anything. Once again, it is a matter of how we look at life.

It is certainly something to think about. We have to realize that we are in control.

Edit:

The problem right now is that most people think, 'Well, I'll be happy as soon as I get that promotion, or that car.' That's not what life is. I am happy now.
