This is the first of a nightly installment of Last Call Lyric!
Here's how I play the game.I take my ipod, and shuffle it. It's very much a dice type of game in the sense that it is the nano that you can shake to pick your random item.
So one quick jerk off of air and my song is picked.
I pick a lyric that stands out, and I relate.
Tonight, my ipod picked.....
Bulletproof by La Roux!
"This time baby, I'll be bulletproof"
Obviously from the chorus, and obviously not too long, but feelings cannot be judged by any number of words.
As the years go by I've slowly built up a wall, as does anyone who has experienced tremendous amounts of heartbreak in their life. This wall is built to keep the ne'er do wells from penetrating my fortress of solitude. However the holes in my armor are exposed from time to time, and when I say time to time, I mean whenever I meet a guy who with a swipe of humor and a dash of common interest. With these keys of interest he gains access to my inner most thoughts. However in my experience it's not too long before my dreams are dashed upon the rocks and I find myself again staring at the holes of emotion in my shield.
Just how important is it to be bulletproof?
Many may say very and others may say it's a turn off. I thought being completely impregnable emotionally would solve all my problems and after failing countless times I cane to realize that the flaw was not in the armor or the fortress, but the contents. I was flawed in thinking that TRYING to turn away and become cold hearted was weak. It was up to me to learn and grow from my experiences, and not add layer upon layer of protection.
If you want to be stronger, let it all in, and when it goes wrong, let it all out and move on.
Bulletproof your soul, protect it from weakness.
There's your armor, now run with it.
