Oh, last roughly 52 days have had there ups and downs. But thank Anubis I am still here. There actually was a day that I thought I was dying, because I got violently sick very quickly and ended up in the emergency room. Thanks to the great god Anubis, and thanks to the ER doctor who helped me.
So I recently have started to try to cut down on how much soda-pop, soft drinks and other unhealthy beverages that I regularly consume in order to replace them with a better habit of drinking water. As well as trying to watch my calories and carbohydrates intake compared to my caloric output in active and resting energy, which my smartphone and smartwatch track. And try to at least balance them out.
I found a song called “Let The Water Wash Way Your Sins” by Dan Romer on FarCry5 Presents Into the Flames: Original Game Soundtrack
“Let the Water Wash Away Your Sins”
[Verse 1]
If your soul has grown weary, and your heart feels tired
Let the water wash away your sins
And if the snow begins to fall, and you can’t find the fire
Let the water wash away your sins
If the night time lasts forever, but the days are cruel and mean
Let the water wash away your sins
And you thought one day you’d be happy, if you held in all your screams
Let the water wash away your sins
[Chorus]
Let the water wash away your sins
Let the water wash away your sins
Now that this old world is ending, a new one begins
Let the water wash away your sins
[Verse 2]
If you spent your whole life working, for a world that feeds on doubt
Let the water wash away your sins
And those banks keep getting bigger, while your pockets empty out
Let the water wash away your sins
And if all the thieves and liars have been knocking at your door
Let the water wash away your sins
And they said they’d feed your family, and you believed what they swore
Let the water wash away your sins
[Chorus]
Let the water wash away your sins
Let the water wash away your sins
Now that this old world is ending, a new one begins
Let the water wash away your sins
[Verse 3]
If you thought there was a heaven, but you can’t find the proof
Let the water wash away your sins
And you can see your brothers marching, but you can’t speak your truth
Let the water wash away your sins
Oh, if your mother was a screamer, and your father ruled with fists
Let the water wash away your sins
And if you’re thinking ’bout the highway, and you’re looking at your wrists
Let the water wash away your sins
[Chorus]
Let the water wash away your sins
Let the water wash away your sins
Now that this old world is ending, a new one begins
Let the water wash away your sins
(Come on, one more time!)
Let the water wash away your sins
Let the water wash away your sins
Now that this old world is ending, a new one can begin
Let the water wash away your sins
The video game is about a rookie sheriff deputy who goes to arrest a cult leader and everything goes bad. And you are trying to save your coworkers from the cult and helping the locals of Hope County, Montana. The first time I listened to the above mentioned sound track, my boyfriend said I was singing along like a “Peggie.” In the game, members of the cult are called “Peggies” because the cult is called “Project at Eden’s Gate.” The songs have a sort of folksy-spiritual singable feel.
I have always ran to soda pop as my go to comfort drink. To say that I tried to eat and drink my feelings, and my boredom at times would be fair and true.
I feel that Anubis inspired me to listen to this song this evening as a reminder to drink more water and not reach for a soda. It’s like the line “Now that this old world is ending, a new one begins” from the chorus. Because I am trying to get into better habits. And I feel like an old world is ending and a new one beginning.
