Six Degrees of Separation
Six Degrees of Separation - The Script
"This song has been in my head ever since I first listened to it (which was yesterday, after stalking Meghan’s facebook wall haha <3)
Not that it’s really related to the song, but after reading about it, I’m also kind of really intrigued about the concept of being separated with someone by six degrees. Put more eloquently, “six degrees of separation is the theory that anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries”.
Of course this theory does not apply to, in my opinion, the vast majority of the world, especially those living in very under-developed and very poor third world countries; it’s just not possible to connect with many others in the world if every day of your life is a struggle for survival etc… but it’s extremely possible that the theory could apply to a lot of others in this day and age, as it is just so easy to connect with people (the basis of facebook) and meet new people.
What I found really cool was when one guy, Stanley Milgram, randomly selected some people to send packages to a stranger. The senders were told the recipient’s name, occupation, and general location. They were then instructed to send the packaged to a person they knew on a first-name basis who they thought was most likely, out of all their friends, to know the target personally. That person would do the same, and so on, until the package was personally delivered to its target recipient. And guess what? It only took (on average) between five and seven intermediaries to get each package delivered… inspiring the phrase “six degrees of separation”.
Not sure what the point of this post was.. I guess just find it amazing how, at any given moment, or time in our lives, we could so easily be introduced to someone, or just randomly meet them out of pure chance; a person you walk past in the street, the person sitting next to you on the train, someone you meet at a party, a stranger whom we had never known before then, and suddenly… no longer separated by six degrees.

You've read the books, You've watched the shows, What's the best way no one knows, yeah, Meditate, get hypnotized. Anything to take from your mind. But it won't go
You're doing all these things out of desperation, Ohhh woah, You're going through six degrees of separation.
You hit the drink, you take a toke. Watch the past go up in smoke. Fake a smile, yeah, lie and say that, I'm better now than ever, and your life's okay Well it's not. No You're doing all these things out of desperation, Ohhh woah, You're going through six degrees of separation. First, you think the worst is a broken heart What's gonna kill you is the second part And the third, is when your world splits down the middle And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself Fifth, you see them out with someone else And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have messed up a little.
(No, no, there ain't no help, it's every man for himself)
You tell your friends, yeah, strangers too, Anyone'll throw an arm around you, yeah Tarot cards, Gems and stones, Believing all that shit is gonna heal your soul. We'll it's not, no
You're only doing things out of desperation, Ohhh woah, You're goin' through six degrees of separation.
First, you think the worst is a broken heart What's gonna kill you is the second part And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself Fifth, you see them out with someone else And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have messed up a little.
No there's no starting over, Without finding closure, You'd take them back, No hesitation, That's when you know you've reached the sixth degree of separation

Absolutely blown away by this song. Beautiful deep meaning to it. Best song in months.
