:SaltwaterRoomForever:

I've read this series called The Mortal Instruments and will soon be reading The Infernal Devices. They are absolutely amazing books. The feelings you get when reading them are indescribable. For some odd reason, whenever I hear certain Owl City songs they totally remind me of the story. It's quite crazy and I don't know why because they don't at all match. But it's just this feeling I get when I hear them. Odd, I know.
       So I was wondering... do you associate any songs with something completely opposite?

"So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?


Yeah, all the time, all the time"

"Take me above your light


Carry me through the night

Hold me secure in flight

Sing me to sleep tonight"

-Hello Seattle

"Sands and gears, oh, how the daisies bloom


When chandeliers light up the engine room


Can you feel the drops as it starts to rain."
-Umbrella Beach

::King Midas::

" Hail, Midas. Ha ha ha! Thou, rascal, thou. Shall we turn the Earth to gold? The rivers, the mountains, the stars, the moon, the sky... a universe of gold! "

I've always found something special about the story or rather myth of 'King Midas' Golden Touch'. He was capable of hospitality but yet it was greed. His beautiful gift became a curse. In the time of  fear he realized that with nothing, with no love what could he do? Midas couldn't touch anyone, it was as if he was no longer human. Accidentally killing his daughter, he realized what he truly wanted in life. It is no lie that King Midas turned everything to gold, but it wasn't gold he wanted, was it?

...I bleed the colour of love but only through my fear...

Virgil, my love.

I was reading about Virgil. In case you don't know who he is, (then you are crazy! Just kidding!) Virgil was a classical Roman poet. One of the best, actually. I'd like to quote him from what I think is one of the most inquisitive quotes of all time. It's simple yet so meaningful, I fell in love with it at first read:

"Death twitches my ear. "Live," he says, "I am coming." "~Virgil

I just found it ingenious in a way that I can't explain. It's as if you can hear death whispering too. Take from it what you can, just take something.
