Only Love Can Dig You Out Of This - 2nd Post Today- WOW

 Below are lyrics by the group The Lumineers, and the song is called Slow It Down. I remember the first time I ever heard this song and the reason I do is because it resonated with me a great deal, but not in a positive way what so over. This was probably two years ago, I did not like who I was, I was still trying to comprehend what the f!#k just happened to my relationship and the only conclusion I came to was that I was the "filth" in his metaphorical bones. My interpretation of the song may be wrong, but was my interpretation. Too, I listen to music I can relate to, as though the artist is singing me their story, which is all too familiar to my own. 

"Act like you've been here before, smile less and dress up some more" I had been there, and I couldn't believe myself. I hated myself! Hated! 

But the ending made me hopeful, and why I am posting for the second time today because I cried to this exact part--

And when she stood she stood tall

She’ll make a fool of you all

Don’t ask for cigarettes

She ain’t got nothin left for you

I never, she never, we never looked back

That wasn’t what we were good at

And when it came to love

We were not good enough

 bending over sobbing because I just wanted that to be my mindset right then and there. But like everything in life, emotions, people and thought do not just fix themselves over night, you have to be patient and learn hard lessons that make you a stronger, healthier, happier person--if you're lucky. 

And so I have, and now I know for a damn fact I am not the filth, I am the girl who stands tall, who will make a fool of "you all" (achieving you for you, or me for me and I don't mean financially, achieving happiness, joy, gratitude-- I'm a way better person now and I know that because I'm clear, and I feel it). However, the "we were not good enough" is by no means true. I was not good enough for them, but I am  good enough for the guy who loves me now, and I love him. 

"And when she stood she stood tall
She’ll make a fool of you all
Don’t ask for cigarettes
She ain’t got nothin left for you

I never, she never, we never looked back
That wasn’t what we were good at
And when it came to love
We were not good enough"

Slow It Down Lyrics by The Lumineers 
"I feel her filth in my bones
Wash off my hands til it’s gone
The walls they’re closing in
With velvet curtains

Some love was made for the lights
Some kiss your cheek and goodnight
Lift up a red high heel
Lock up your doors with steel

They’re makin noise in my street
My blinds are drawn i can’t see
Smashed in my car window
Didn’t touch the stereo

Slow it down, Angie come back to bed
Rest your arms, and rest your legs

Act like you’ve been here before
Smile less and dress up some more
Tie up your scarf real tight
These boys are out for blood tonight

Slow it down, Angie come back to bed
Rest your arms, and rest your legs

And when she stood she stood tall
She’ll make a fool of you all
Don’t ask for cigarettes
She ain’t got nothin left for you

I never, she never, we never looked back
That wasn’t what we were good at
And when it came to love
We were not good enough

Slow it down, Angie come back to bed
Rest your arms, and rest your legs
Don’t you frown when you’re feelin like that
Only love can dig you out of this"
