Why Nothing's Gonna Change My World?

This is the music video for "Across the Universe" by Fiona Apple, great music and lyrics:

And here's the lyrics for it:

[Written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
[Originally performed by The Beatles in the album "Let It Be"]

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns and calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Jai guru deva [Repeat to fade]

Wouldn't it be nice to have an imaginary headset on; something that gives you the power to ignore certain unwanted phenomena in your environment?

I remember talking to my father about the difficulties our generation has to go through these days to build up and protect their relationships. "The way we depend on our families until the third decade of our lives, and the fact that these relationships are resented both by the a majority of people and eventually the law, makes it almost impossible to preserve a healthy relationship!" I believed. But his opinions about my bitter-end relationship and its causes were slightly different. "What the outside world may bring you could be harsh, and it often is, but it should be no match for a relationship which is based on similar ways of thinking, reasoning and feeling. You can be in Paris feeling like there's something missing, you can be in prison and in love with the girl talking to you from the next cell" he said. It sounded too idealistic to work actually (and I'm known to be the idealistic one among my friends!).

A couple of months later I had to confront the same dilemma again. Living in another country with much less social boundaries, much more resources and lots of people with whom you can have relationships from square one. Should I regard this as a god-send opportunity to become a new person?

It took me a while but I finally realized that it is not about the "location". They are all in our heads, the things we need to alter to get a fresh start. It's absurd to count down for the random flows of the ocean to take you to the shore when you can swim towards it. Wow! how poetic of me!

There is however a limit to the amount of pressure that this hypothetical bubble can handle before popping out! Sometimes being affected by the environment is inevitable. Louise Bunuel illustrates this fact subtly in the last scene of the movie "The Obscure Object of Desire". Throughout the movie Mathieu's desire for Conchita prevents (blinds) him from noticing the terrorists stealing his car and beating his driver to death. But this immunity could not last forever.

Looking back at this post, I can hardly find a connection between the paragraphs!
