[00:12.69]	Have you ever wondered,
[00:14.54]	well, I have, about how when I say,
[00:16.22]	say "red", for example,
[00:17.81]	there's no way of knowing
[00:19.48]	if "red" means the same thing in your head,
[00:21.84]	as "red" means in my head,
[00:23.09]	when someone says "red".
[00:24.51]	And how if we are traveling at almost the speed of light,
[00:27.77]	and were holding a light,
[00:29.41]	that light would still travel away from us
[00:32.09]	at the full speed of light?
[00:34.04]	Which seems right in a way,
[00:35.41]	but I'm trying to say, I'm not sure,
[00:37.80]	but I wonder if inside myhead
[00:39.64]	I'm not just a bit different from some of my friends.
[00:42.62]	These answers that come into my mind unbidden,
[00:45.90]	these stories delivered to me fully written.
[00:48.54]	And when everyone shouts
[00:50.04]	like they seem to like shouting,
[00:51.54]	the noise in my head is incredibly loud.
[00:54.48]	Well, I just wish they'd stop,
[00:55.79]	my dad and my mum.
[00:57.14]	And the telly and stories
[00:59.07]	would stop for just once.
[01:00.28]	I'm sorry, I'm not quite explaining it right,
[01:02.98]	but this noise becomes anger,
[01:04.90]	and the anger is light.
[01:06.22]	And this burning inside me
[01:07.77]	would usually fade,
[01:09.60]	but isn't today.
[01:10.85]	And the heat and the shouting,
[01:12.38]	and my heart is pounding,
[01:13.57]	and my eyes are burning,
[01:15.52]	and suddenly everything,
[01:17.58]	everything is quiet.
[01:30.39]	Like silence, but not really silent,
[01:42.39]	just that still sort of quiet,
[01:48.08]	like the sound of a page being turned in a book,
[01:54.77]	or a pause in a walk in the woods.
[02:02.72]	Quiet,
[02:11.29]	like silence, but not really silent,
[02:22.97]	just that nice kind of quiet,
[02:29.32]	like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed,
[02:36.18]	just the sound of your heart in your head.
[02:42.81]	And though the people around me,
[02:47.74]	their mouths are still moving,
[02:51.91]	the words they are forming
[02:57.43]	cannot reach me anymore.
[03:05.65]	And it is quiet,
[03:10.95]	and I am warm,
[03:17.36]	like I've sailed
[03:27.98]	into the eye of the storm.
[03:35.62]	（Eye of the Storm:a region of calmer weather found at the center of strong tropical cyclones. *Wikipedia）
