Words/Music/Emotions

Words are funny things.

Its foolish to try to attach a word to an emotion, I do believe there are more emotions than there are words for.

Such a big feeling has to be channel through doorways, options of words. Narrowing it down, and through each level, degrading the real meaning.

We can try to explain it in words, but everyone has their own meaning for the words. It doesn't matter what the dictionary defines them as. Everyone has a sort of connection, they attach to what a word really means to them. They wont get the real message you wanted to get across, only a reflection of themselves. Their reality.

So what do we resort to?

Music.

Here we are, human, breathing, feeling and we cant express ourselves just as ourselves. We have to go making wooden contraptions with wires tuned to sounds selected to sound nice. We have to make an arrangement of notes. Notes that follow along the lines of what we really want to express. Major, Minor, happy and sad. Its so fascinating how just three notes played together can give a sad or happy emotion.

But still, it doesn't fully do it. It comes very close, but there is still something left that's not being said, not being shown, boiling inside of you.

Lyrics help, it helps narrow down the channel the emotion is on for understanding. But when it comes down to it, they are just words.
