“Are you sure
That we are awake? It seems to me
That yet we sleep, we dream”
That we are awake? It seems to me
That yet we sleep, we dream”
One thing that I noticed watching so many Japanese anime or Korean dramas is that they are fascinated with English culture, especially literature, specifically with Shakespeare if we might be more precise. Might as well be a coincidence but in the last month, two anime had quotes from Tempest and A Midsummer Night's Dream, and two of dramas quote only A Midsummer Night's Dream.
"It was like a mid-summer night’s dream. Now I’ll disappear, like the dream you dreamed last night. Goodbye."
More than anything this phrase got me hooked up, maybe because I am really hooked up in the drama itself and its interesting characters. And finally as a matter of fact I love the songs. Even though I have already posted a song from "The Heirs", tonight I am posting again another one since it has been in my mind this entire time. :) Hope you all enjoy "Serendipity" from 2Young.
Can you show your mind tonight?
Can you show your mind tonight?
Is there a spiderweb in my head?
Things keep getting tangled
My heart is tangled even more
than that and it’s your fault
You, the one love in a world I can’t
have, keep coming to me. Did you know
that my feet only look for you without
me knowing? (dizzy lonely tonight)
It seems like I became two different
people after meeting you (little by little,
one by one, I’m changing) It’s so weird,
this fluttering feeling mixed with
nervousness in my heart (maybe I’m
scared that I’ll lose you) I want to get to
know your world that is unknown to me
(tell me, let me hear it,
show me yourself)
Even the air around us is different so
can we really fall i love?
(you are too perfect for me)
A headache came before love, all day, it
felt like nighttime Did you know that I
want to have your morning?
(dizzy lonely tonight)

I want to believe in serendipity,
the hand of fate (hopefully,
I wanted to be one, not two)
I hope we were put
in the same place
so I could recognize you
(please recognize me too)

Serendipity is defined as the faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident coined by Horace Walpole, from the Persian fairytale The Three Princes of Serendip, in which the heroes possess this gift. Indeed, serendipity, if we can define it as being lucky or unlucky enough to bump into things that lead us to lucky or unlucky things, is what makes the dramas happen. Well, if they happened in real life I do not think there would be the time to actually make the dramas real because they would be too unrealistic for how real they would sound. Do I believe in serendipity? I cannot really say whether I belive in serendipity or not, but I know for sure that things happen for a reason, be it lucky or unlucky reasons. But then in the end what makes it different from serendipity? Coming to know someone in a city you went for vacation to then discover that that person has always been yuor next door neighbour who you never met by accident before? Getting a good job because the manager finds you interesting because he saw you deal with a customer of your former job? I am not naive to think that those actually exist, but coming to speak to your neighbour because you go to the cinema anytime there is a type of movie that happens to be liked by both parties that seems more likely. In fact it is not likely, but I prefer to dream that they can actually happen. There have been many instances in my life for me not to believe in serendipity, yet not enough to truly believe in that, so I prefer to think that things just happen for a reason because it is said so for them to happen. Getting stabbed in the back by your best friend in high school surely happens so that you can become better at jugding a book even by having a look at its cover.
Having said that tonight's post comes to an end! Thank you for reading!
