Coming to terms - Season 46

Technorati tags: Reflections, Birthday, Season 46, NIN

Thanks for all the birthday wishes via SMS, Twitter & Facebook – yes, yesterday was the start of season 46 of Walski’s personal reality show, so to speak.

He’ll keep this post short & sweet. In fact, Walski will let Trent Reznor do most of the talking.

For some, this song (featured in NIN’s 2005 “With Teeth”), is depressing. But for Walski, it’s about coming to terms with one’s self, and the realization that as we traverse this thing called life, our mission is to better ourselves.

Always. 
(at peace, and more, in the full post)

Well, simply put, Walski has come to terms with what he is, and for the first time in a very long while, at peace with himself. But he knows that he can always do better, and be a better person, and in that respect, continues trying to outdo himself.

And so starts season 46 – hopefully the best season yet. But with better ones to come beyond that…

For you kareoke-types, or for those who can’t fully make out what Trent’s singing, here are the lyrics:

Right Where It Belongs - Nine Inch Nails

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all...
Right where it belongs

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself...
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
Keep on looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself...
Find yourself afraid to see?
