life in a 'music box'

There's this one song that I really really like for the moment. The song is entitled 'MusicBox'. This is from Regina Spektor, an artist I just found out about. Try her other songs! She's great and I looove her! Well anyways, back to the topic. I want to share the song to all of you.
*Push play after the play list loads.

MusicBox by Regina Spektor

Life inside the music box ain't easy
The mallets hit
The gears are always turning
And everyone inside the mechanism
Is yearning to get out
And sing another melody completely
So different from the one they're always singing
I close my eyes and think that I have found me
But then I feel mortality surround me
I want to sing another melody
So different from the one I always sing
but when I do the dishes
I run the water very very very hot
And then I fill the sink to the top with bubbles of soap
And then I set all the bottle caps I own afloat
And it's the greatest voyage in the history of plastic
And then I slip my hands in and start to make waves
And then I dip my tongue in and take a taste
It tastes like soap but it doesn't really taste like soap
And then I lower in my whole mouth and take a gulp
And start to feel mortality surround me
I close my eyes and think that I have found me
But life inside the music box ain't easy
The mallets hit
The gears are always turning
And every one inside the mechanism
Is yearning to get out
And sing another melody completely
Is yearning to get out
Is yearning to get out
Is yearning to get out

Hated it?! C'mon, play it again. Still don't like it? Give it another round. I'll assure you it'll grow on you. :) I love the song because of how I can relate to it at this point of my life. The song talks about how redundant it gets to live a life doing things routinely... doing almost always the exact same thing.

Hence the title, 'MusicBox'. Living in a music box goes on the same thing like playing the same old song again and again, all while going round and round at the same time. Eventually you'll get tired and yearn to get out! This is the exact same feeling that I have right now. I feel that so far in my life, I almost always do the exact same things. Why? Maybe I was scared to try something new... or maybe because I got used to it.

Well, I'm tired of it. I'm 23 and I'm finished with my obligations. I want to try new things. I've always been like that, wanting to try something new but always hold back at the last minute. Curiosity might have killed the cat, but it's a life rather not living if I'll be confined in doing the same thing again and again. It's time for me to get out of my own 'Music Box', and sing another melody completely. :)
