Rollercoaster by Bleachers
If you read the lyrics of Rollercoaster by Bleachers literally, you'll probably wonder why I'm posting it here... When I hear Rollercoaster and watch the video it reminds me of things in my life that have swept me off my feet... things that seemed so amazing... things that were just out of reach but I could attain with just a little more effort. When these things (could be relationships, career status, expensive things, a certain weight... I could go on and on) became part of my life, many times they weren't what I thought they'd be... When I look back I'm amazed at the rollercoaster rides I took to figure this out!...

Waiting For The End by Linkin Park
Do you ever wonder how you got to where you are now? Is it what you expected? Maybe it looks like you expected, but how does it feel?
