jon_chaissoni've become impossible
holding on to when
when everything seemed to matter more
the two of us
all used and beaten up
watching fate as it flows down the path we
have chose
you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you
awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
they pick and they pull
trying to get their fingers in
well they've got to kill what we found
well they've got to hate what they fear
well they've got to make it go away
well they've got to make it disappear
the further i fall i'm beside you
as lost as i get i will find you
the deeper the wound i'm inside you
for ever and ever i am a part of
you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you
all that we were is gone we have to hold on
all that we were is gone, but we have to hold on
when all our hope is gone we have to hold on
all that we were is gone but we can hold on
you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
even after everything
you're the queen and i'm the king
nothing else means anything
Nine Inch Nails' "We're In This Together" from his '99 album Fragile.
This was one of the first songs that came into my head on that day, but not for obvious reasons. Sure, the "none of them can stop us now" fighting words could definitely mean revenge on what happened, but that wasn't why it came into my head. Actually, this is MUCH more positive in my head--to me this song became more of a "they can shit on us but we're still together." It also kind of gave me a focus on what some of the people in the towers were thinking before they fell, or the people on United 93. It made me think that perhaps some, if not all, had come to accept their sudden fate but knew they weren't alone.
Sure, I could go on a diatribe about the social and political after-effects after nine years, but that's another meme entirely.
