where the streets have no names

while burning some cds for my uncle, i saw a title of a song by Aerosmith... "where the streets have no names". i wondered for a while where could that place be... maybe a labyrinth or an ant farm... i haven't really listened to it yet, and as of now, i really have no intention...

for me, "where the streets have no names" refers to the road ahead... not literally a road that we have to pass... but the road we will take in our journey in life. why don't the streets have names? because we don't really know where we're headed. nobody knows what lies ahead if we go on with our lives. the world still has a lot of mysteries waiting to be uncovered, so have our lives. we don't lead everyday of our lives monotunuosly or organized til the last second, in fact we are told over and over again to leave some time for unexpected surprises. and so we take on streets with no names in order to give them their names.

and then again, another conclusion was formed in my head. where streets have no names i guess also refers to the foolishness of one's heart. love as they say is blind, you set endless qualifications for the one you want to fall in love with but at the end, you always end up with the one who is an exception to every single rule. why is it the place where streets have no names? because you don't really know where you are once you are in love. your destiny tends to be not only yours but also your partner's. you either work as a team or you fail as an individual. still, you really don't need names for the streets if it's your own personal world, right? when you're in love, you have your own world, your own fantasies and your own dreams but with a significant other.

here's my point and how i will relate it with my life right now: i'm tired of living and continuing my journey where the streets have no names. i don't know what lies in front of me or what may happen next. i'm tired of looking from afar... of just waiting here and when i see your name pop out from nowhere, i seem to scurry away scared... i'm tired of how i handle my life right now... i was told that the one who have the most courage is the one you need to look out for because he/she maybe the one who will hurt you most... i guess i could be that.. but lately i have been nothing but scared silly... i have been nothing and my life has been nothing... believe it or not, i really need you in my life but no matter how much i want to move on and no matter how much i say to people that everything is the past right now... i still can't move on... i'm still stuck... in love with you...
