Detached : : : : : : Escape? ____________________________________________________ SOMEONE gave me a shuffle recently.
For people who has known me long enough, they would have known that I do not have the habit of bringing a walkman, discman or mp3player around. I would rather use my speakers when listening to songs. However, recently, I happened to own a shuffle. I decided to maximize the usage instead of using it like a thumb-drive. One day, I brought it along with me when I go to office. I decided to try it out for the very first time. Usually, when I am on the train, I would choose to observe my surroundings, like the view (even though it's always the same, but I sincerely thank God for the beauty) and the people (some people could really be a bit eccentric). That fateful Saturday morning, which I used my shuffle, everything feels different. I would still be looking and observing my surrounding. Everything is the same and yet at the same time different. I seemed to have lost touch with reality and immersed myself in the music. I feel very detached from the world. What I felt is almost the same as watching a movie. The train is moving, and you could only hear your own music (fyi: and that point of time, I was listening to some trance songs which is commonly used for background music when protagonist is running or on the train or in motion). My world seemed not to have existed and I lived in a reel world. Escapism? Maybe. . . Maybe not . . . My sense of hearing heightening and began to be in-sync with my sight. I began to have different interpretations of the space I am in. Looking at my world with another perspective - with the perspective of music and lyrics. Cool it is.. Scary it is . . It could totally change my mood that day. I read my world with those emo-lyrics. Probably I should put all chirpy and happy songs inside MY shuffle. |
