Walls Fall Down

If you don't listen to Bedouin Soundclash, I highly suggest you do.

Here are some of their lyrics from a song called "Walls Fall Down" I completely connected with:

"When the walls fall down
On your old town
Then you began

See I had these walls
Built up so strong
Built when I was young
In wars I've won

But if I'd have known
Stone upon stone
So tall I could not see
Beyond my wall

But all walls fall down
And all walls fall down
And when walls come down
On your old town
You began

A bit unassured
A bit insecure
I climbed up
And saw the world I lacked
But my first stone cracked
Foundation collapsed
Standing on the ground
In stones I found

That all walls fall down
And all walls fall down
And when walls come down
On your old town
You began

Governor of the land
From where you stand
Beneath a shelter built by many hands
There is a store
And you've locked the door
Of people you once were you gave a war

And your walls fall down
Walls fall down
Walls fall down
Like a stone falls down
I'm no stone
I'm no stone
Its just a stone
Stone falls down
Says hes a stone
(Walls fall down
Walls fall down)
No man's a stone"

This describes me very well. I put up emotional walls when people become close enough to affect me greatly. Its a defense-mechanism that doesn't let me get hurt. It built up from the experiences I have been through that did damage to me.

However, it has also been disabling me from being happy! I have learned to allow more people into this area and its been quite OK so far. I suppose only time will tell what will happen.

I wish I was 600 miles closer to you.
