Danielle found this video by a group we both enjoy, Nickle Creek
We found it to have such deep meaning and we would love to open a discussion and have you share your comments on what the video meant to you.
We read, watched and reviewed the deeper meaning of:
When In Rome
Where can a sick man go?
When he can’t choke down the medicine
The old Doc knows.
A specialist came to town, but he stays at home
Saying no one knows, so I don’t, Honey, when in Rome.
Where can a teacher go?
Wherever she thinks people need the things she knows.
Hey, those books you gave us look good on the shelves at home
And they’ll burn warm in the fireplace, Teacher, when in Rome.
Grab a blanket, sister, we’ll make smoke signals.
Bring in some new blood
It feels like we’re alone.
Grab a blanket, brother,
so we don’t catch cold from one another
I wonder if we’re stuck in Rome.
Where can a dead man go?
A question with an answer only dead men know.
But I’m gonna bet they never really feel at home,
If they spent a lifetime learning how to live in Rome.
Making smoke signals from the books. Powerful.
Book knowledge is only useful when in “Rome” in the system as it dulls our senses and make us sick “i the head”.
I can identify with “…never really feel at home,
If they spent a lifetime learning how to live in Rome.”
Always felt different and like I never fit in because I didn’t and don’t fit in when in “Rome”.
I am damn glad I don’t fit in the system cause we just end up making each other sick and dead (unconscious).
