From ‘Young Blood’, as covered by Birdy…<\/span><\/p>\n

Lyrics:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re only young and naive still
\nWe require certain skills
\nThe mood it changes like the wind
\nHard to control when it begins<\/p>\n

Comments:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of us are still spiritually naive, despite our age,
\nstill lacking much skilful means,
\nwith emotions in fickle motion,
\nunwatched and untamed by mindfulness.<\/p>\n

Lyrics:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bittersweet between my teeth
\nTrying to find the in-between
\nFall back in love eventually
\nYeah yeah yeah yeah<\/p>\n

Comments:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What we taste in life seems more bitter than sweet,
\nwhich is why it is bittersweet, and not sweetbitter!
\nLet us find the Middle Path to be less affected by changing flavours,
\nthough we tend to fall into attachment again.<\/p>\n

Lyrics:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can’t help myself but count the flaws
\nClaw my way out through these walls
\nOne temporary escape
\nFeel it start to permeate<\/p>\n

Comments:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We should note our misgivings to better ourselves
\nbut we should count our blessings too.
\nWith greater aspirations and efforts,
\nwe shall transcend time-limited escapades, to be totally free.<\/p>\n
