31 on the "31st"
Song: When Your Feet Don't Touch the Ground
Artist: From, Finding Neverland (the musical)
Welcome to my first "unofficial" but official, 31 on the "31st" theme song! 😅😬 Sadly, I have "aged out" of half the months in the year. I was debating about possibly just posting on the 11th of those said months...to correlate with my birthday post which is an honorary theme song to my new year. We'll see what happens come November.
I haven been absolutely obsessed with this song since I first listened to it a few weeks back. It's so beautiful, in a heartbreaking way; therefore it really speaks to my soul. The song has been going through my mind for days now, I find myself waking up singing it! I relate to this idea of avoiding the pains, difficulties and challenges of reality through escaping to my "imagination." Refer to this post* for a more in-depth explanation of some of my "escapism" tactics. I constantly have music or an audiobook or something in my ears at all times so I don't have to be left alone with my thoughts. This is why night time is always the worst for me. When I have to turn things off and sit in the silence; I feel myself spiraling as I begin to think about everything that's "wrong" with me and my life; as I obsessively stress about my current fears and worries and phobias. There's been a lot of that going on lately. I know it's not always the healthiest way to cope, but sometimes it's the only solution I can find.

(lol to quoting a song that isn't my chosen "theme song" for this month but still applicable all the same. Highly recommend you go check this song out while you're here 🔥 *This post is sponsored by NF 😁)
When did life become so complicated?
Years of too much thought and time I wasted
And in each line upon my face
Is proof I fought and lived another day
When did life become this place of madness?
Drifting on an empty sea of waves of sadness
I make believe I'm in control
And dream it wasn't all my fault
When your feet don't touch the ground
When your world's turned upside down
Here it's safe
In this place
Above the clouds
When your feet don't touch the earth
You can't feel the things that hurt
And you're free
There's no need to come down
Everyday just feels a little longer
Why am I the only one not getting stronger?
Running 'round pretending life's a play
It doesn't make the darkness go away
I may be young but I can still remember
Feeling full of joy, crying tears of laughter
Now all my tears are all cried out
Make believe, but count me out
'Cause my feet are on the ground
And the inner voice I found
Tells the truth
And there's no use
If your head's in the clouds
I was once like you
Life was a maze
I couldn't find my way out
But what I say is true
You'll be amazed
Make believe and you will find out that it's true
I know what is true
When your feet don't touch the ground
(When your feet touch the ground)
And your voice won't make a sound
(Your voice makes a sound)
Here it's safe
(It tells the truth)
In this place above the clouds
(There's no use for clouds)
When your feet don't touch the earth
(When your feet touch the earth)
You can't feel the things that hurt
(You can feel the things that hurt)
And you're free
There's no need to come down
(And I am fine as long as I am down)
When your feet don't touch the ground
(When your feet touch the ground)
When your feet don't touch the ground
...touch the ground
