We came together in a dance of death and so quickly was I sucked down into the vortex that when I came to the surface again I couldn't recognize the world. When I found myself loose the music had ceased the carnival was over and I had been picked clean. Henry Miller
About This Quote

The whirlwind of life is something that many people deal with on a daily basis. It can be very stressful and can cause feelings of fear. Those feelings are why people turn to drugs, alcohol, and even suicide. The fact is that the whirlwind of life is something that we all have to face at some point in our lives.

When you feel like you are being sucked down into the vortex of the whirlwind it's easy to feel hopeless and unable to get out. The song "We Came Together" by TLC captures this feeling of hopelessness perfectly.
