I know how everyone else’s life
Is supposed to fly by
Then someone turns and says
What about you?
And I stand here
Mouth open
Mind blank
This should have all work itself out by now
The map of my life should be clear and precise
With little red dashes and circles so nice
Showing roadblocks
And landmines
Oh, I am not unbreakable
I am breaking right now
Maybe everyone can’t have the dream
Maybe everyone can’t kiss the frog
Maybe it’ll be me and a dog
And the little stuff dolphins on the floor
And a little dog door
Oh, I am not unbreakable
I am breaking right now
I need to be unbreakable
Somehow, it’s never
Or now
Lorelai from GILMORE GIRLS the has been faced with a number of changes: Michel wants to leave the Dragonfly Inn for the W Hotel, Rory argues with her about to writing a book about their relationship, Emily starts dating Richard’s friend Jack, and Luke argues with her about the state of their partnership. At one point during the performance, the spotlight focuses on Violet and Lorelai, so it’s like Violet is singing directly to Lorelai, who is tearing up and visibly affected by the song. And, it’s these touching words that inspire Lorelai to take some action and do some soul-searching of her own.
I binged Gilmore Girls recently. This song touched me for a few reasons: Currently, I am with little dog and do have a doggie door for her; I’ve been feeling lost in life as of late; Due to brittle bone condition, it’s not uncommon for me to feel as though “I am breaking right now.”
