Never Be Like You feat. Kai (Disclosure Remix) | Flume

I’m only human can’t you see. I made a mistake.

Please just look me in my face. Tell me everything’s okay.

I’ll never be like you.

I feel like I’ve been listening to this song forever.

Not just the remix. And not just the original. I feel like I’ve been listening to this song, or these lyrics, for years…decades even. 

I feel like these words have been floating in and out of my consciousness ever since I realized I had a consciousness…and probably before that.

My whole life I feel like I’ve been apologizing. Apologizing for something I did or something I said. Or something I didn’t do or something I didn’t say. 

I feel like I’ve always been made aware of where I fall short. Or how much of a fuck up I am. Or how far I am from the person I’m supposed to be. 

And I feel like in all this time, in one way or another, I’ve been walking around hoping to be pardoned for who I was.

But then this week something happened. Something that really hit me.

It make me say, and not say, do, and not do and whirlwind of shit. It made me aware of where I fell short. It made me see where I’ve fucked up. And it made me realize how distant I am from this person I thought I was supposed to be. 

And it made me realize that I don’t need to be pardoned for any of it.

I don’t know what you call moments like that. But I do know know they should be celebrated. And dancing to this track might just do the trick.
