Theme Music Meme
17 years ago
General
Let me run this down. I’m something of a pro wrestling fan, and this meme has to do with one of my favorite parts of pro wrestling: the music. Every character in that form of entertainment has his or her own theme song. I’ve noticed also that it can change over time whether that character is “good” or “evil”. My challenge is this: what would you consider your theme songs? Select one for a “good” you, when you are at your happiest, best, or things are going alright or steady, and one for a “darker” you, for use when depressed or any of those other wonderful feelings <sarcasm>. I’ll begin.
Dark Theme — “Answers” by Vigilante: This song portrays pain, the kind I usually find myself in when things go horribly wrong in my life, which is fortunately not too often (knocks on wood). I find myself remembering things that I’ve done that I’m not proud of or regret. I become a sort of “dead” inside, feeling hollow, wanting for everything just to go away. I drown in my own depression, I long for things to get better, and silently, I lash out, asking the same question asked in the song: “Why?”. Why do I feel this way, why can’t I do anything about it? And it continues, until I left in a state of depression that can last for months. (It’s still a kickass song, though).
Good Theme — “Standing” by VNV Nation: Thankfully, the times described above don’t last forever. Something or someone has always come to lift my spirits: an event online, a major victory by a sports team, a fantastic semester in college, a nice birthday, anything. It’s at those times I realize I can’t be afraid to feel good, for fear of everything coming crashing down. It might eventually, but that can’t be a reason for me to stop trying. What will change if I don’t? Nothing. This tune reminds me to savor every good moment that I can, and hope they last. It speaks of all that I could be, and all that I am. It reminds me that I have to move on from the bad, and when that happens depends on me. Most importantly, it reminds me to smile, whenever I can.
What about you? What are your personal anthems? I tag you, :mikewolfkin: , and one of my newly watched, :cooper: !
