You’ll need to begin playing the song before you read the story.
Seriously.
this song is about boy
a normal boy
with a caring family and caring friends
who went to school and had hobbies and played sports
just a normal boythis song is about a war
a war that tore the boy from his home
that tore the boy from his family and his friends
that tore the boy from everything he loved and cared aboutthis song is about another land
a land that the boy fled to
that offered him safe harbor from the war
where he could begin anew
where he could meet new friends, find a new school, take up new hobbiesthis song is about a language
a language that was spoken in the other land
a language like any other
but without a word
without a word for love
and the other land had the concept of love
and had the act of love
but there was no word for love
and the boy learned to speak this languagethis song is about a life
a new life, in a another land
filled with new friends, new hobbies
filled with new relationships
and the boy felt like an outsider
something was always missingthis song is about a girl
a girl who was also foreign to the other land
a girl who was born on the other side of the war
just a normal girlthis song is about a friendship
of a friendship between the boy and the girl
of time spent
of stories told
of lives uncovered
and they forgave
and they were friendsthis song is about a feeling
a feeling that friendship wasn’t enough
something the boy had never felt before
something that made him stay awake at night
wide-eyed and floating
something that made the boy not just see
but feel the world around him
a feeling that saturated the world with colors
bolder than the boy had ever experiencedthis song is about a word
a word that the boy hadn’t spoken in ages
a word that the boy thought he had left behind
and even though they been born on different sides
and even though they had taken different paths
and even though they spoke different languages
they both knew the wordthis song is about love
and it is fucking awesome
