Don`t you ever have a song that just buzzes in your ear the whole day long that resonates what you`ve been feeling? This song has been nagging in my subconscious since Thursday. Had to hum it to myself the whole time I was in Kapellenweg though I don`t know the whole lyrics. It`s my comfort song for now for I desperately need peace of mind.

| A serene place to meditate and cast your last favor. Kapellenweg is situated in Rüngsdorf along the juncture of Kapellenweg and Rolandstraße. |
Oh yeah, this song talks about a promiscuous lady but that part doesn`t apply to me. Only the part where it says I`ve been to paradise relating to how I saw my life with my ex bf. Paradise as we were two kids playing to be grown ups in a foreign land. And now I`m basically learning to be me (for I`ve never been to me). It`s quite hard to distinguish yourself apart from the couple you were always associated to be. You lose your sense of distinction. Jumping in the wagon of being single is like having "sea feet". Trying to stand steady on wobbly ground.
I`ve Never Been to Me (Lyrics)
Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother
And a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you never do
But I wish someone had talk to me
Like I.. wanna talk to you
Ooh, I've been to Georgia, and California, and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
And we.. made love in the sun
But I've ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise
But I've.. never been to me
Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you
Why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me
Still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part
Of a weary heart
That has.. lived a million lives
Ooh I've been to Neese
And the isle of Greece where they sip champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Montecarlo and showed them what I've got
I've been undressed by hands, and I've seen some things
That a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me
Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free
I've been to paradise
Never been to me
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me
Ohh... Yeah yeah yeah...
