Catalyst
After the recent drama at my last employer, some of you may have perhaps wondered what was my inspiration or catalyst for shaking things up and for standing up to be heard. I'd say a big part of it was a couple of great songs by Incubus, one called "Warning" and the other "Megalomaniac".
I included the lyrics for Warning, mostly because they are so pertinent to myself and my life perspective these days. And also because I listened to the song on my NetMD this morning :)
Incubus - "Warning"
Lyrics:
Bat your eyes girl
Be otherworldly
Count your blessings
Seduce a stranger
What's so wrong
With being happy?
Kudos to those who
See through sickness
Yeah
Over and over
And over and over
She woke in the morning
She knew that her life
Had passed her by
She called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by
I suggest we
Learn to love ourselves
Before it's made illegal
When will we learn
When will we change
Just in time to see it
All come down
Those left standing
Will make millions
Writing books on ways
It should have been
She woke in the morning
She knew that her life
Had passed her by
She called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by
Floating in this cosmic Jacuzzi
We are like frogs oblivious
To the water starting to boil
Now I flinch and
We all float face down
She woke in the morning
She knew that her life
Had passed her by
She called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by
Pass you by
