“If we all light up we can scare away the dark” – Passenger #MondayMorningWakeUpCall

Let there be light

There are colours of dark in everyone. From not so secretly fantasizing punching your boss to fleeting moments of yearning to slaughter spouse to extended ‘daymares’ of hatred, jealousy, greed and self-doubt.

The colours of the dark may vary, with the blackest rendering many an animal blind. But fighting the dark isn’t the answer to peace on earth and within. The more you fight the dark the more it enshrouds you in black.

One short-term solution: Sing along with Passenger to” Scare Away The Dark”

Well, sing, sing at the top of your voice,
Love without fear in your heart.
Feel, feel like you still have a choice
If we all light up we can scare away the dark

We wish our weekdays away
Spend our weekends in bed
Drink ourselves stupid
And work ourselves dead
And all just because that's what mom and dad said we should do

We should run through the forest
We should swim in the streams
We should laugh, we should cry,
We should love, we should dream
We should stare at the stars and not just the screens
You should hear what I'm saying and know what it means

To sing, sing at the top of your voice,
Love without fear in your heart.
Feel, feel like you still have a choice
If we all light up we can scare away the dark

Well, we wish we were happier, thinner and fitter,
We wish we weren't losers and liars and quitters
We want something more not just nasty and bitter
We want something real not just hash tags and Twitter

It's the meaning of life and it's streamed live on YouTube
But I bet Gangnam Style will still get more views
We're scared of drowning, flying and shooters
But we're all slowly dying in front of fucking computers

So sing, sing at the top of your voice,
Oh, love without fear in your heart.
Can you feel, feel like you still have a choice
If we all light up we can scare away the dark

The question however remains… how do you light up?
