i'll lie still and breathe in you

So the infamous Facebook has an application called 'Graffiti,' where one takes a circular brush of varying size, opacity, and color, and makes little doodles with it.
That used to be what kept me occupied when I was up at ungodly hours of the night. I can't do it anymore, for some weird reason. I try, and it sucks.




As to why this song was included:
It's beautiful. It's one of the 65% of Regina Spektor songs that I absolutely love (the other 35% I can't stand at all....) and I adore it.
From my interpretation, this is sung by Samson (of Biblical fame) 's first lover - before Delilah and all the problems that camer with that.
She idealizes their relationship, talks about how Samson was willing to be entirely vulnerable and natural for her, how at peace he was with her.
I loved you first.
I think that we can love people before we know them. Once we find 'the one,' we look back at our life and past relationships and realise that most everything we loved in someone else was really just a kind of precursor, a foreshadowing at this amazing person we're now sharing forever with.
I have loved you since our essence was first conscious of itself, and through all the echoing ages of time since then, and will continue to do so until time itself runs out.
No matter what the history books say.
