“Today is my birthday
あなたは覚えていますか
But I'm...
慣れてる... 独りぼっちで過ごすのが...
会いたいよ... 諦められないあなたが...
Why did you leave me
言うほど 届かないどこへ...
Should I forgot you
泣くほど 消えていくあなた
My Birthday - FT Island”
My Birthday - FT Island”
Today is my
birthday
Do you
remember it?
But I'm…
spending…
here all alone…
I want to
see you… I can't give up on you…
Why did you
leave me?
It's too
much that it can't reach you, where are you?…
Should I
forget you?
You're
fading and I cried so much…
My Birthday - FT Island
My Birthday - FT Island
You can choose to listen to the song while reading this blog post, maybe it will trigger you feelings as I have!
A lot might think, a song about birthdays huh, it must be
something happy.
Well, nope. This song is nothing happy or sweet, it is about
celebrating your birthday without the people you love the most together with
you. It is pure pain and heartaches.
WHY?! Why make a painful birthday song?
I guess the song writer wants the public to remember what
does it mean to celebrate your birthday.
With the new trends nowadays, everyone's values and habits
while celebrating birthday's have change a lot. Instead of celebrating with
families, most of them celebrate first with friends, and families will only
celebrate after that.
Is this right? I remember one of my friends telling me that
she is celebrating her birthday with her friends, I asked how about your
family? Are you celebrating together? She said, nope, why would I ever want to
celebrate with my family? I would rather have fun with my friends because I
can't 'be myself' when I am with my family, they are control freaks.
Yes, I understand that feeling, but since when did a
birthday celebration be celebrated without one's family members? Is this like
the new trend nowadays?
Have they forgotten what their families have done to make
them who they are now? Is all the hard work forgotten when you are growing up?
Have memories fade so fast?
The first time when I saw the name of the song, immediately
I think of a happy song, but when I listen to it, feeling were brought out, it
reminds me of the times I have not been able to celebrate with my family, not
because I choose friends or anything, but because I have not been able to be
with them during my birthday...
And because of this, whenever I see people decided to
celebrate their birthdays with their friends or boyfriend instead of their
family, I wonder if they understand the consequences that comes later, because
time doesn't go in reverse mode, what that has past is not going to happen
again.
Life is a choice, and time is what determines your choices.
If you made a good choice, then the time you spend will be much more meaningful
compared if you made the wrong choice. But mistaken are allowed to be made just make sure you change it when you notice it.
Actually this is those songs that inserts meaning to your life, making you remember what is the core meaning towards a certain condition.
For example, in the lyrics, it said do you remember it? Has it been so long that they have already forgotten about your birthday? I guess not, because you are family, and I bet are the ones that remembers your birthday without any reminder from FaceBook or any applications out there.
It also said that they are celebrating it all alone, this is mainly caused by yourself. Because after a certain amount of time, relationships between you and your family fades and it then creates a barrier in between and this is when it is hard to pull the relationship close again. It takes time, but time has been running away, and later on what is left is you and you yourself. If you still could not give up on them, please make effort to mend the fading relationship, because I bet if you ask anyone that has experience their close ones leaving them, they will say that not being able to spend enough time with their love ones is the thing that causes regret. And I might add, time is never enough when it is with your families.
Sometimes, families leave you, because of the mistakes you did or if you have pushed them away? Anyway, if they leave you, is it their fault? To me, this is when the regret part comes in, because this is when your hardwork doesn't pay off and you are still alone. What you have done is not making any good and you are starting to get lost, lost in the sense you don't know if going back to them is possible, lost in the sense you do not know if you have any families anymore? Or lost in the sense that you are confused about where you belong to. Lost until you can't reach out to them anymore.
Then the worst is when you are struggling if you should just let it be, because the communication between is fading away, the connections in between are fading away, the strong bond in between is fading away, and until then tears are what is left.
I guess this is not what birthdays are meant to be, because if birthdays are the reasons causing this hardships in a relationship, it would be meaningless to even celebrate birthdays.
Birthdays are the times you recall the things your family has done for you, the pain your mother went through just to get you to this world, the time, the patience, the love your family gave you and the importance of having them in your life.
Family makes you complete, family makes you whole.
So next time when you celebrate your birthday, rethink of the person you want to spend it with, they will appreciate it to the fullest and cherish those memories till the end.
