Delusion Angel

Daydream delusion, limousine eyelash
Oh baby with your pretty eyes
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet cakes and milkshakes
I'm a delusion angel
I'm a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don't want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we are going
Lodged in life
Like branches in a river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I carry you
You carry me
That's how it could be
Don't you know me?
Don't you know me, by now?

- David Jewell
From the film Before Sunrise

Trying to work out my thoughts enough to cobble together a post on what the film explores; self-fulfillment and self-discovery through a significant other. Would be interesting to see how that turns out, if that turns out...

there is no if...it will turn out. the problem however is when. many a times the discovery happens after the significant other has terminated the period of significance..albeit in a manner of speaking.

...after the significant other has terminated the period of significance...
now, now... aren't we being a tad harsh, perhaps... sometimes, just occasionally, its the other way round... non? :)

the snake said...

my bad...didn't mean to sound accusatory...shall we say, after a mutual termination of significance has been amicably achieved, yes?

Sahil said...

heh heh... that sounds like pardon-me-but-i-talk-like-i-have-a-carrot-up-my-butt... but yeah, you could put it like that, to be politically correct and all that...

Hmm... Did 'thepause' prompt this one?

Someone's been a silent reader all this while, eh? :)

Sahil said...

nice to see a constellation from the past pop up again :)

well, no, this isn't inspired by thepause. though i only realised today why you said that. i've been an on and off reader, mostly, and i was just trawling the archives today and realised this one had been posted right about the same time i posted it here. oh, and a lot auden too.

someday, soon, i hope to break my silence there...

:)
