The Living Room
Mental Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Laughing hard
Happy to be
Escaping from reality
A world of pain
Chose your remedy
This is the thing
That works for me
Where i wanna be
My friends around me
You lock your problems out
And throw away the key

When we are
Each others crutches
Weight of the world
Will never crush us
We will forget all our sins
Darkness outside
It won't get in

Where i wanna be
My friends around me
You lock your problems out
And throw away the key

We lose track of time
Our problems fade away
And this is how we make it
Through another day
We lose track of time
Our problems fade away




And this is how we make it
Through another day

Muchas gracias por este mensaje. Llevo meses luchando con la ansiedad, con pensamientos que no me dejan estar tranquila. Esta palabra tocó mi espíritu. Hace años soñé con el versículo Romanos 12:2 y nunca entendí el propósito de ese sueño hasta que vi el sentido que Dios quería darle en mi vida. Gracias por este mensaje.

Y maravillosamente Dios nos creó, perfectos! El área de mayor plasticidad cerebral es el sistema límbico. Área que regula y procesa los impactos emocionales. Y Dios la diseñó para transformarse! Y se transforma por medio del entendimiento. Esto confirma la palabra de Dios que dice que somos transformados por medio de la renovación de vuestro entendimiento.
Me alegra mucho escuchar mensajes tan acertados y con aportes neurocientíficos.
