Geronimo!


Some days it just seems like a song or two is saying everything that's in my heart.
This is the first of two that are speaking for me, mostly from this morning.



Kamikaze by Five Iron Frenzy


I’m going in (1, 2, 3, and go)
Like a kamikaze (like Geronimo)
A leap of faith (and I finally feel alive)
3, 2, 1, I’m going in

I don't know if it's just me
But it seems that things aren't changing
Every day is pretty much the same
With a little rearranging

If I do nothing I can't fail
No blistered hands, no broken nails
Killing time, I’m paralyzed
With faded dreams and hollow eyes

I’ve been waiting for a revelation
For a moment of clarity
Conflicts and convolutions
Ricochet inside of me

There comes a time for throwing caution to the wind
I feel the pulse again

I’m going in (1, 2, 3, and go)
Like a kamikaze (like Geronimo)
A leap of faith (and I finally feel alive)
3, 2, 1, I’m going in (1, 2, 3, say when)
Like a flaming arrow (soaring in the wind)
A leap of faith (and I finally feel alive)
3, 2, 1, I’m going in

I am so slow to commit
I have wasted years on fences
Is it really true the shoes don't fit?
Is it only my defenses?

What if I don't measure up?
Don't listen well, don't smile enough?
Alone and unknown up 'till now
Need to change direction somehow

I’ve been open to persuasion
Wanting someone to take the lead
It's a little disconcerting
Signing up for eternity

There comes a time for throwing caution to the wind
And so my life begins

I’m going in (1, 2, 3, and go)
Like a kamikaze (like Geronimo)
A leap of faith (and I finally feel alive)
3, 2, 1, I’m going in (1, 2, 3, say when)
Like a flaming arrow (soaring in the wind)
A leap of faith (and I finally feel alive)
3, 2, 1, I’m going in

I’m going in
I’m going in
I’m going



So there you have it.
I'm throwing caution to the wind.
I will trust when it is completely illogical.
I will trust my own instincts when those around me doubt.
I will conquer. I will survive. I will come out stronger.
