No one else can feel it for you!

I watched the movie "Ice Princess" for the first time today. And I can't believe that its soundtrack would really hit me this way. "Unwritten" is a song that I only associate with Pantene commercials before. But when I heard it, I mean really heard it as in listened and understood the wordings of its lyrics, I was moved. I remember one INTPHIL session we had with our professor Dr. Garcia that, in this world, whatever you feel, whether it be extreme bitterness or overwhelming joy, you alone can truly feel it. Others can only sympathize with you. They can say "I know how you feel" or "I understand" but actually, they don't. When you cry, you're alone in that world of tears. When you laugh, you're the only one who feels the uplifting joy as well. It's just you. No one else. The words that you want to say, the things that you want to do, the thoughts you're thinking, only you knows the reason why. It's you, it's your life. Whatever you do, you write your own destiny. Nobody else can do it for you. So enjoy. And like Sophie Fischer's line in the movie Music and Lyrics, "Music is the physical attraction. It's the sex. But when you get to know the person, that's the lyrics." Have fun reading the lyrics.

UNWRITTEN

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
