Good Lyrics

And I'm surrounded by
a million people i
still feel all alone
- lyrics from Home by Michael Buble
I have always loved lyrics. I have never been one to know the coolest latest artists, but I know the words they sing. I have always loved lyrics. I think they so eloquently express feelings and sometimes it's just adequately. However, they have a way of conveying a feeling to you. I love it.

Quite often, (more than most anyone knows) I think in lyrics or lyrics will come to my mind during a certain situation. Tonight's situation? Movie night (Martian Child- my recommendation? 3 out of 5 stars). I met up with some people at a movie theater. I arrived late and after the movie the person I knew best was separating themselves with the group to talk to another person. They left fairly quickly. There was still quite a number left in the group but I felt very uncomfortable. Then the words came to my mind... "I'm surrounded by, a million people I still feel all alone...." so I went home.

I don't understand how that phenomena works. Why do we allow ourselves to connect to some people and yet when there are a million people around us, we feel if our lives are devoid of those who we choose, then we are alone? I don't know. I can't really embelish on this post because I still haven't figured it out myself so it would just be pointless rambling.
