All the miniscule little things we worry about are so important at the time of worrying about them. But they're mostly irrelevant and won't happen. This song reminds me to focus on the positives in my life. There are many things I have that I'm greatful for. Magne's words here are beautiful. Best wishes to all the a-ha fans.
Take a moment if you dare Catch yourself a breath of air There's another life out there And you should try it Dead-ends hide on every street Look before you place your feet Cracks and fissures keep the beat And you're inside it Every thought you never dared to think Every mood you always knew would sink Every line you spoke out loud in a jest All the time you took to be your best Soon forgotten The sun must never touch your skin It could expose the dark within You're paranoid about the paranoia And panic hits without a sign You worry 'bout it all the time Every perfect moment is a hidden warning 'Cause everything makes your pretty head spin And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in With everything this way it's better to forget Than end up in a place with something to regret Your transatlantic shopping-sprees Your health-forever guarantees Organic-bio-life's a breeze in cosy prisons But hiding out in the salad bar Isn't gonna get you far And bottled wine is vinegar tomorrow And everything around here makes your pretty head spin It's piling up high, you're back where you begin Moments you have tried so hard to forget Are promising to 've been the best ones yet Yeah, everytime you shut your eyes it appears Every mtime you trace your steps back here None of your convictions have the same old ring No doubt you'll find a place for everything In cosy prisons So if you're careful You won't get hurt But if you're careful all the time Then what's it worth?
All the time it took to be your best...is soon forgotten' refocuses you onto more important aspects of life. A-ha's music has often saved me from times of despair when all is lost and no one else cares. I love and need so much the light of hope ! Forever A-HA
