And how did I end up here anyways?
My arms are full, yet I have nothing
I can't get away from people, yet I am alone
So I drive on
And on
And on
Smiling yet silent
In hopes of reaching
I'm not sure where
(And, oh, is this forest ever tangled and dense)
But for now
The least I can do
Is try to get myself out of this darkness
Although there's no telling what lies beyond
...is how I thought Sakamoto Maaya's Driving in the silence was going to be like, but, uh, yeah, nevermind. (Actual lyrics this-a-way.) On heavy-rotation instead: Arai Akino's recent side project RuRu Chapeau, and the recently disbanded riddim saunter's acoustic album.
