Headphone Silence

I USA har i princip alla en iPod. (Helst den senaste Video iPodden med 60 GB.) Människorna isolerar sig med sina hörlurar från varandra överallt. När de går på gatan, äter mat eller läser. Jag börjar bli likadan. Så lite interagerande som möjligt med andra, verkar ledmotivet vara. Jag tillägnar dagens soundtrack till det amerikanska folket, och deras iPod's.

I´m travelling
The wonderful loneliness
Of the headphone silence
Feels like noone can see me
They see right through me
Cuts me off
From the rest of the world

The useless strangers
Sharing my time and space
They might hear my humming
My tapping of fingers anyway
At least I have my thoughts all to myself

My content and the view outside
I see a rainbow complete
Resting its feet on the hill and the ground
Works as an illustration to the sound
This is a whole in time
A couple of hours when the day is
More abstract than usually
I star in this movie
I play the part and unify
With the soundtrack in my head
It could be morning it could be night
I could be anywhere
The headphone silence
Which fills my head
