Future Islands - Long Flight [mp3]
It is a funny thing seeing you these days so far from the past that it doesn’t even necessarily enter my mind except that I remember eventually and reflect on how far away time seems to me these days and I wonder if you wonder too about these things and do you feel like we forgot something, left something behind, perhaps it’s on the table or else it is still with us hidden in the pockets of our pants or the bulges of our bags and do you suppose that if we aren’t the same now as we were then that those people we’re simply not you and not I and instead they were parallel people and in a way, we are constantly living in alternate realities and divided dimensions when you think of it that way and there are no choices amassing, just distorted mirrors reflecting most of what we see now different enough that though we recognize the picture in the glass, we know it to be someone else, someone otherwise, someone regardless of the nature of existence and the options that now present themselves are wholly isolated from the big eye in the sky, a picturesque descending from the clouds in some fiery ball of memory and forgetting all the time the mistakes made massing manage to derail the positive reinforcements and then we find ourselves reflecting and isn’t it funny how we can be so different yet exactly the same in our peculiar proclivities pertaining to our prescient ways, a persistent reminder of the person that was is now and still isn’t exactly what we expected it to be?
