Go Away Mad: So Long By Fire Fall


Whether you're arguing with your partner/spouse, your parents, your kin or even your boss, when tempers flare, you can expect that people leaving the scene in anger. It's a piss-off when things can't be solved reasonably and both parties wind up not talking to each other. Sometimes, it can years before those involved would start talking to each other again. I guess this is what happens when we're so caught up with ourselves and only see our side of the situation. A song that best describes this kind of situation is "So Long" by Fire Fall.

When you listen to the song the first thing that comes to mind is a heated argument. Both sides air out their reasons but neither reach a point of understanding. Instead the conversation grews intense and they start hurling accusations and insults at each other. Finally reason is no longer present as both sides leave the scene angry and hurt. Only time will tell if they if they resolve the issue or even talk to each other again.

For me, this song isn't just about arguments, but also about being unable to solve a frustrating puzzle that's becoming a thorn in my side. At times like this, I feel like like throwing my arms up in frustration and feeling very angry at the futility of it all. Especially, after dealing with a really bad development that happened recently which I won't mention lest it becomes an issue again. Everytime things like this happens, I feel like a chump and I don't like it. Although I'm not good at expressing my anger, situations like this make me angry nevertheless.
