This piece was inspired by my everyday life from the moment I woke up to sundown, I see this endless corridor of mechanical system that guides us to do what we must do to live on. To live on! Not to dream and be free. The inevitable delay of our demise becomes the driving force for our economy.
The longer you exist on this plane, the more you are going to fall asleep behind the wheels. The consistent cycle of consuming and getting back to work turns us into this soulless being that moves like clock works. Where do we go from here?
I remember the days of my childhood. Those were the moment of who I truly was. The boy who dreamed many dreams. I was in my world. And after I grew up, with my new mustache and a taller body, I maneuvered the world by learning what others did before me. Some say investment is good; some say government jobs are the best; I did none of that. I just work. Like a normal person who clocks ins and outs of the workplace.
I have no big dreams. Like many of my friends, they went on to buy big houses and cars. Some got married and have children. I got married and that is about it. The best thing that ever happened to me is my wife. Love of my life, light of my heart.
As I journey into the later time of my life, I really do not have any resentment. If I must write one regret, it will be why I never thought of abandoning all my belongings and walking into the forest and disappearing into the unknown. Maybe I will die, maybe I get settle down with the animals around me, like the friends we have in the city. But then, I will never have met my wife.
Everything in life happens for a reason. And I dreamt of waking up from my slumber and walking into my path of freedom. Into the arms of my love. And that is the only thing I ever need in my life. May music finds you in good health and happiness.
