So I’ve recently re-introduced myself to Snow Patrol. And one
of my favorite songs by them is “It’s Beginning to Get to Me,” off of their
album entitled Eyes Open.

Lyrics:
Are you beginning to
get my point
That all this fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight's about
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I'm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I've lost
That all this fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight's about
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I'm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I've lost
Read the rest HERE
To me this song is about life in general. And the things a
person has to go through. Sometimes the people you are closest to in life, will
be the ones you fight the most with. In a way it’s strange because, you fight
with them because you know deep down no matter what they’ll always be there. You
know you will always be able to forgive each other. Because life itself causes
our moods to swing, they change faster than seasons, and often times we lash
out at those around us, for no particular reason involving them. It’s more than
likely because of a neighboring circumstance life decided to throw your way. Something
out of your control.
The title alone It’s
Beginning to Get to Me, is telling enough. It’s saying that this world we
live in and its hardships sometimes get to you, and it’s up to you to either
fight through it, or allow it to take over you.
The lyrics I chose describe this ongoing struggle between
two people. How they have this circular argument in their relationship, but at
the end of the day it doesn’t matter much because the fight could really be
about anything. And all that energy put into fighting could be better spent on
loving that person instead.
The lines “We need to feel breathless with love And not
collapse under its weight I'm gasping for the air to fill My lungs with
everything I've lost” definitely prove my point. They show how life’s little
bumps can be overcome as long as you choose your battles. And fight for what
counts, fight for that love that will see you through. Because anything you’ve
lost can be gained back if you learn to value whatever the relationship. Sometimes
life moves quicker than we let it, and it’s ok to stop and take time out, stop
and enjoy it. After all sometimes you just need to take a second…
Appreciate the world around you :)
