Creep - Radiohead

This flash is one of the best I've seen - along with the fact that it is well-synched with Radiohead's "Creep".
Enjoy.

The Muppet Matrix - The Fuzzy Green Pill...

For all you Matrix fans out there...(by now, if you didn't know that I am one, go do your homework. Then come back).
I really miss the Muppets. *muppets theme song plays in my head*
I miss the Matrix.
Wait.

We are in the Matrix.



*The above dialogue seems an uncanny echo of what transpired in my Social Thought and Theory class last week, when I was commenting on Singapore's elite class ruling over us. It went something like this:

Dr Hadiz: ...And so, as we can see, the ruling class generates certain mechanisms in order to legitimize its claim to power.

Nian: Sounds like a case of 1984.

Dr Hadiz: It is the year 1984.

Six Feet from the Edge - Creed



Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say


Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's somthing left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

Hero - Nickelback


I am so high,
I can hear heaven.
I am so high,
I can hear heaven.
Oh but heaven,
No heaven, don’t hear me.

(Chorus)
And they say that
A hero can save us,
I’m not gonna stand here
And wait.
I’ll hold onto the wings
Of the eagles.
Watch as they all fly away.

Someone told me,
Love would all save us.



But how can that be?
Look what love gave us.
A world full of killing,
And blood spilling.
That world never came.

Now that the world isn’t ending,
It’s love that I am sending to you.
It isn’t the love of the hero,
And that’s why I fear it won’t do.

(Chorus)

And they’re watching us (watching us)
They’re watching us (watching us).
As they all fly away. (repeat 2x)
