Addiction: A Visual

This video is from Season 5 So You Think You Can Dance. Here, Kayla and Kupono dance a Mia Michaels routine about addiction... it is SO powerful... and they are dancing to a song called Gravity by Sara Bareilles. Anyone who struggles with any kind of addiction can watch this and know 'zactly what's up. I haven't been able to watch this once without being deeply moved, and I'm really grateful to Mia for taking on this material, and to Sara for such a powerful song... for it can apply to ANY addiction.




Gravity


Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do
I'll still feel you here
'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much
than to drown in your love
and not feel your reign.

Set me free, leave me be.
I don't want to fall another moment
Into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall,
just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me
And all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone.

Set me free, leave me be.
I don't want to fall another moment
Into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall,
just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me
And all over me.

I live here on my knees
As I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need
Here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe
Though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know
Is that you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down.

You're onto me
You're onto me
And all over...
