Grey

Grey Street by The Dave Matthews Band

I definitely recommend you listen to this song.
It is soooo deep.
I'm only going to talk about a small portion of it.

Here are some of the lyrics:

There's an emptiness inside her

And she'll do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

This is how I interpret it,
life is full of all these beautiful colors, but if you clump them all together all you get it grey.
No one wants grey. There's no beauty in that. There's no happiness and joy.

What do the beautiful colors represent?
Life's experiences.

Every single one of them.
The laughter with friends.
That warm fuzzy feeling with that special someone.
The tears of pain.
The endless hours of work.
Family moments.
Arguments.
Everything.

Each one is it's own beautiful color, even the negative experiences. It has it's own beauty. Everything has a postive, if you only look for it. Those experience help shape you into who you are. They make you stronger. Braver. More compassion. More caring. That's beautiful to me.

The problems is people don't see the beauty in each of these colors, these experiences. They mix them all together, hoping that the outcome will just make them happy, but it doesn't. I know. It doesn't.

You need to learn to appreciate everything on it's own. To enjoy the small things. To live in the moment. And recognize, everything you go throw has beauty.
