Yeah You Know That The You Could Save My Life

So I know it's sorta been a while but I don't have life epiphanies every day. So lately I've been thinking a lot on the subject of love, but I'm not in love so it was hard to relate to anything, what I did come across today though was that before you could love, you have to be able to trust. So the song for today is appropriately "Trust" by Thrice. Now all I could find was their live performance but it's a good one. So here you go, listen to the song, read the lyrics.



Artist: Thrice
Song: "Trust"


Lyrics: "Trust"

mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right
yeah the margin of error is slight
mix the chemicals right dear
mix the chemicals right
yeah you know that you could
save my life

there is a risk, there's a risk when your dealing with love
you could snap my neck
any speed you drive can be dangerous

mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right
yeah you know there's a fine line between
mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right
cause i know what betrayal can mean

when this frame fails me
will i trust you to carry me through?
i know there's no such thing as safety
but i know what a promise can do.
will i trust you, will i trust you to carry me through?
i will trust you, cause i know what a promise can do



So as I mentioned earlier I've been thinking a lot about love. For no particular reason really. See, I've always kinda considered myself the hopeless romantic type that feeds off of cheesy romance and passion. But I came to a horrible realization; I'm not in love! So I found it hard to relate to any of the songs I was listening to. All they brought back was nostalgia at best. So out of left field, "Trust" from Thrice sorta popped into my head and I thought that maybe I could work with it. Originally, I set out to do a blog about "The American Dream" but I gave up on that idea when I listened to this song. I think it does a perfect job of portraying what someone in love deals with in the sense of trusting someone. When you love someone you give them your complete trust whether you want to or not. You can tell yourself you have walls up to protect you but as soon as they do something to betray your trust you will find that they are brought down to the floor.

Now I definitely have been betrayed and had my emotions backfire on me. It's a horrible thing and I'm sure everyone has gone through that at some point in their lives. All we can really do is be wary of who we put our faith in and trust only those that deserve it. I am not looking for love, but before I can even think about that I have to be able to give this person my full trust. I wouldn't want to find out a few months in that I've been giving 100 percent and they have only been giving 50. So we all have to be wary about trusting girls [or guys for some]. Just take your time and be patient. Put in work but don't make it a priority until it needs to be. IF you find that you're getting the short end of the deal, pull out. Don't waste time and effort that can be used elsewhere.
