Have you ever wondered, |
| [00:14.54] |
well, I have, about how when I say, |
| [00:16.22] |
say "red", for example, |
| [00:17.81] |
there's no way of knowing |
| [00:19.48] |
if "red" means the same thing in your head, |
| [00:21.84] |
as "red" means in my head, |
| [00:23.09] |
when someone says "red". |
| [00:24.51] |
And how if we are traveling at almost the speed of light, |
| [00:27.77] |
and were holding a light, |
| [00:29.41] |
that light would still travel away from us |
| [00:32.09] |
at the full speed of light? |
| [00:34.04] |
Which seems right in a way, |
| [00:35.41] |
but I'm trying to say, I'm not sure, |
| [00:37.80] |
but I wonder if inside myhead |
| [00:39.64] |
I'm not just a bit different from some of my friends. |
| [00:42.62] |
These answers that come into my mind unbidden, |
| [00:45.90] |
these stories delivered to me fully written. |
| [00:48.54] |
And when everyone shouts |
| [00:50.04] |
like they seem to like shouting, |
| [00:51.54] |
the noise in my head is incredibly loud. |
| [00:54.48] |
Well, I just wish they'd stop, |
| [00:55.79] |
my dad and my mum. |
| [00:57.14] |
And the telly and stories |
| [00:59.07] |
would stop for just once. |
| [01:00.28] |
I'm sorry, I'm not quite explaining it right, |
| [01:02.98] |
but this noise becomes anger, |
| [01:04.90] |
and the anger is light. |
| [01:06.22] |
And this burning inside me |
| [01:07.77] |
would usually fade, |
| [01:09.60] |
but isn't today. |
| [01:10.85] |
And the heat and the shouting, |
| [01:12.38] |
and my heart is pounding, |
| [01:13.57] |
and my eyes are burning, |
| [01:15.52] |
and suddenly everything, |
| [01:17.58] |
everything is quiet. |
| [01:30.39] |
Like silence, but not really silent, |
| [01:42.39] |
just that still sort of quiet, |
| [01:48.08] |
like the sound of a page being turned in a book, |
| [01:54.77] |
or a pause in a walk in the woods. |
| [02:02.72] |
Quiet, |
| [02:11.29] |
like silence, but not really silent, |
| [02:22.97] |
just that nice kind of quiet, |
| [02:29.32] |
like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed, |
| [02:36.18] |
just the sound of your heart in your head. |
| [02:42.81] |
And though the people around me, |
| [02:47.74] |
their mouths are still moving, |
| [02:51.91] |
the words they are forming |
| [02:57.43] |
cannot reach me anymore. |
| [03:05.65] |
And it is quiet, |
| [03:10.95] |
and I am warm, |
| [03:17.36] |
like I've sailed |
| [03:27.98] |
into the eye of the storm. |
| [03:35.62] |
