shake myself awake ~ come alive

The song that has me snapping my fingers, making me feel happy vibes and inspiring me to keep moving forward is: Nevermind by Dennis Lloyd. The lyrics may be about a breakup, but the music is a sweet vibe.

Nevermind

waking up my life
my energy
how could i come alive
revive

lying at the bottom of the sea
shipwrecked
the great collision buried me
disturbance pushing
currents pulling
won’t let me be

long dark night
why resurrect me
from my resting place
peaceful grave
at the bottom of the sea
i separated from myself
my core didn’t survive the impact
my body yet remained
easier to let go
than rebuild
this vessel
resting at the bottom of the sea

there is a rooted fear
i could not identify
something subtle
as an invasive weed
buried in strata beneath
how would i begin to articulate
do i have tools…
