Everyone's got to face down their demons

Third Eye Blind - "Jumper"


I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend 
You could cut ties from all the lies 
That you've been living in 
And if you do not want to see me again 
I would understand 

The angry boy, a bit too insane 
Icing over a secret pain 
You know you don't belong 
You're the first to fight 
You're way too loud 
You're the flash of light 
On a burial shroud 
I know something's wrong 
Well everyone I know has got a reason 
To say 
Put the past away

And I 
I want you to know 
Everyone's got to face down the demons 
Maybe today 

You can put the past away 

Everyone's got their own set of problems to handle presently and demons from the past to exorcise. It's almost as if we human beings aren't complete adults (in the mental sense - belonging to an age group does NOT make you an adult) until we manage to take control of our inner demons and move on to being a better person. Life is about challenges, living is about overcoming them.

So to anyone out there (does anyone still read this blog?) who feels like they are going under and that the effort to stay afloat is just too much: Don't. You're not alone. We all feel that way sometimes. Do what you have to do. Even letting go is doing something. Don't drown, because you never know what might drift along once you are over the crest of the next wave. Ride it and enjoy the journey it brings you on.
