Telling stories

Recently I woke up to this meaningfull song; singer's voice makes it sound real too. I think song is saying the following....Our eyes/ears see observe events and there will be many gaps between these events. When we start intrepreting them, either the next day or 10 year later, we fill in these gaps with exciting assumptions. I think we do this to make our life more interesting..

Here is good example....
Take a case of man in unreciprocated love with "Y". Assume he is also a wishful thinker. There is chance that he may read in between the lines and misinterpret "Y"'s spoken and written words. Thus he may makeup a story and even write it in his dairy but the fact the remains that his love is unreciprocated.

Why "..less mundane..."?
This means he did all this misinterpretation for the sake of excitement. I think this is a both cynical and hopless view of his unreciprocated love.

I think best lines of this song are....
---------------------------------------
You will do and say anything
To make your everyday life
Seem less mundane....


Complete lyrics ~~~~ Telling stories-Tracy Chapman
--------------------------------------------------
There is fiction in the space between
The lines on your page of memories
Write it down but it doesn’t mean
You’re not just telling stories
There is fiction in the space between
You and me

There is fiction in the space between
You and reality
You will do and say anything
To make your everyday life
Seem less mundane
There is fiction in the space between
You and me

There’s a science fiction in the space between
You and me
A fabrication of a grand scheme
Where I am the scary monster
I eat the city and as I leave the scene
In my spaceship I am laughing
In your remembrance of your bad dream
There’s no one but you standing

Leave the pity and the blame
For the ones who do not speak
You write the words to get respect and compassion
And for posterity
You write the words and make believe
There is truth in the space between

There is fiction in the space between
You and everybody
Give us all what we need
Give us one more sad sordid story
But in the fiction of the space between
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
Sometimes a lie is the best thing

tell whom?

Effect of loosing something that you never had is worst because you can not even tell anybody..l
