Music Is My First Language

If everything was written in music, I would understand things so much easier.
Music, some people say, is sound... It's noise and words.
No.
SOME music, is exactly that.
But the music that has meaning behind it, is not just sound.
Music is... The most powerful thing in the world.
No arguements allowed.

The reason my passion for music is so huge is this:
Music is something I can hear.
Music is something I can feel.
Music is something I can understand.
Music is something I can relate to.

It doesn't matter what mood I'm in.
I am ALWAYS listening to music. Because it's my thoughts, in someone else's words.
It's my feelings in someone else's tune.
I can connect to the beats, and my heart attaches itself to the rythmn, and the lyrics.
I listen so intently to the words. I hear every bit of emotion put into each word. I really feel it inside.
This is why music means so much to my life.
I've been a huge music person since I was little. I grew up listening to a lot of punk/alternative/hard rock. Because that's the music that has the most meaning. My brothers are who shaped me into who I am today. And a lot of my music taste is from them.
So, in the end, it's thanks to my brothers I'm alive today.
They showed me the music that saved my life.
Now, of course, my music taste has spread to a few more genres. But I'm still mostly into the rock.
The only music I listen to is music with meaningful lyrics I can connect to.
The shit that plays on the radio is all about fake love, sex, drugs, and money. I only listen to music like that when I'm practicing hip hop dancing or I'm in a party mood.

Nobody understands what music means to me. Nobody except Cassidy. She's the only person who understands 100%.
Everyone else thinks they understand, but truth is, they understand like 70-80%.
Not enough.
Music is my escape from reality. It's my escape where I can feel safe in any situation. I can feel comfortable. I don't feel alone, because the lyrics prove I'm not the only one feeling how I feel. My whole body can feel the song, and it's the most amazing thing ever. That's why I always have earbuds connected to my ears.
Music is the most beautiful thing in the world. <3

And even now, trying to explain it, it's nearly impossible.
Music gets me through everything.
It's poetry in it's best form.
