There is no design for life

"Today was the day
For dancing and for singing
The birds in the trees
And all the bells are ringing
The sun in the sky
Is bright as bright as second side/sight
Is bright oh God I hope I'm alright
Cause I'm gonna cry

Hold on, hold on
Slow down, slow down
You're out of touch
Out of touch
Cause there is no design for life
There's no devils haircut in my mind
There is not a wonderwall
To climb or step around
But there is a slideshow and it's so slow
Flashing through my mind
Today was the day
But only for the first time" -Slide Show by Travis

I was listening to this song while touring Jiuzhaigou Valley. I have always liked Travis' songs. Fran Healy's vocal is soft and mellow, just right for a afternoon stroll among the rocks and rivers with the sufficient sunlight passing through the tall trees. Hold on, hold on, slow down, slow down. And there is really no design for life, don't you agree? We got one life each and we get to live as we want. Or can we? If only I could cut away the bindings and guilts and live freely...
