Different - Pendulum

As I was listening to music on the bus to NFS today, I payed close attention to the lyrics of the songs. While I was listening to Different by Pendulum, these lyrics jumped out at me:"We are going to a different place...we're taking everything we can...there's no expression left on my face...'cause time is running out so fast...we're sinking in the sand...". These lyrics describe leaving a place you grew up in perfectly.

Before we actually moved and we were sure we were going to move, I felt broken. I had lived in Florida all my life and never thought about moving somewhere else. We haven't even stayed anywhere for more than 5 days, but this? This was insane. I didn't know what to expect at all. I didn't know what was going to happen. I knew I couldn't leave this place. Then we did.

The months before the move, I hardly showed any expression. my parents were worried about me and I knew exactly why, but I couldn't help myself. I didn't know how to react to leaving Florida. When we actually did though, I had this amazing thought. No one in Florida, not a single person, knows where I am or where I'm going.

It was an incredible, unforgettable feeling. I was leaving behind the only past I knew. My life was now a blank canvas and I was the only one with a brush. I would decide how I was going to live here and I knew for a fact it would be better than Florida. I still haven't been proven wrong.

I hope this song affects you the same way it has affected me.

I do not own this song or the video. The video was created by SpawnFlac and the music was created by Pendulum.
