a many splendoured thing.. lifts us up where we belong where eagles fly.. makes us act like fools. lovely song, lovely melody, lovely lyrics. the key word peppers everything. adds the spice to it.
simple explanation actually. it's like a peppered spice, without which everything is bland, in moderation it makes it oh so perfect, too much of it and whoosh goes your senses. you think it's a numbing bliss but truth is you wouldn't even know if someone dropped an anvil on you. what we see in cartoons, lovers with heart-shaped birds chirping around their heads is no fairy-tale. that's the truth - an overdose of love turns you into a fool. ironic how it takes you seventh heaven and yet makes you hurt. well, those in fairy-tales probably had too many birds flapping around them making them trip. but i have a simpler explanation. ever had a spicy mouthful that numbed you but yet it burned? yet we keep going for it because the spice leaves a blast in your taste buds, keeps you wanting more. but you can't do without it, you might as well live without taste buds. we all need some spicing up in life, and it sure takes just about a lifetime to figure out the level that gives the perfect taste. oh, and only chilli lovers will truly understand what i mean.
sounds like cheap thrill.
but we're such suckers for it.
