One time, I had a job interview. The interviewer asked me if I have a portfolio which I can show him. I have no other portfolio available except my blog, that’s why I showed him my blog. I was a bit shy to show it to him.
Later on, he asked me if I like listening to music. I answered “Yes”. He asked. “What kind of music do you listen to?”. I answered “I’m quite experimental in listening to music. I like listening to different genres”. He asked again, “Do you listen to Mika? Isn’t it the title of your blog? My Interpretation..”
Yup, the inspiration behind the subtitle “This Is My Interpretation” is Mika’s song “My Interpretation”, from his album “Life In Cartoon Motion”. I like the melody of the song but I was caught by the line, “this is my interpretation”.
You talk about life, you talk about death,
And everything in between,
Like it’s nothing, and the words are easy.
You talk about me, and you talk about you,
And everything I do,
Like it’s something, that needs repeating.
I don’t need an alibi or for you to realize,
The things we left unsaid,
Are only taking space up in our head.
Make it my fault, win the game
Point the finger, place the blame
It does me up and down,
It doesn’t matter now.
[Chorus:]
‘Cause I don’t care if I ever talk to you again.
This is not about emotion,
I don’t need a reason not to care what you say,
Or what happened in the end.
This is my interpretation,
And it don’t, don’t make sense.
The first two weeks turn into ten,
I hold my breath and wonder when it’ll happen,
Does it really matter?
If half of what you said is true,
And half of what I didn’t do could be different,
Would it make it better?
If we forget the things we know.
Would we have somewhere to go?
The only way is down, I can see that now.
[Chorus]
It’s really not such a sacrifice
[Chorus]
And it don’t have to make no sense to you at all,
‘Cause this is my interpretation, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Basically, this is how I interpret things as they happen. We all have different opinions and points of view. We just need to respect each other.
