Here There be Monsters

I am a shark

I’ve got to keep moving

And if I don’t move I will die

If you hold me here

I’ll just disappear

Won’t I' Won’t I?

Deep in my dark

And down in my cold

WIth nothing to feel

And nothing to hold

If you hold me here

I’ll just disappear

Won’t I' Won’t I?

Just like a shark I will tear you apart

You won’t even know what you did

I’ll try to spare you the pain of my jaws

But it’s just in my nature to rip and to shred

Pretty white teeth

In pretty white rows

Eyes open wide

Even while in repose

If you hold me here

I’ll just disappear

Won’t I' Won’t I?

Vermillion Lies - Shark Serenade

Very much sums this feeling of trying to keep moving on because if I stop even for a second I will die. There's some kind of self-destructive side in the human-nature which puzzles me. I've heard that there are some mammals that act the same way, but humans are quite unique in that field. We are really self-destructive in some way or another. Whether it is smoking, drinking or taking some kind of life-threatening risks or if it is just plain old suicidal tendencies we sure hate life - or living.
