This song is a reflection on life.
The idea is simple: when we’re young, everything seems easy, but as you grow up, life has a way of making things more complicated. Yet, we always have a choice: stay frozen, anchored in past heartaches, or keep moving forward and try once more to find what we truly want.
My advice? Pick a new path and see where it leads 😉
The chorus lyrics popped into my head at 3:00 AM. I started repeating line after line, tweaking the rhymes. Truth be told, my brain was doing all the heavy lifting while I was completely out of it; I actually thought I was awake, sitting there with a piece of paper in front of me, but I was fast asleep. I only realized it when I reached for a pencil to write them down and suddenly snapped awake.
I turned over, determined to go back to sleep, but the lyrics kept looping obsessively in my head, making sure my next sleep cycle would happen exactly five minutes before my morning alarm.
I probably would’ve powered through and ignored them, but then a terrifying thought crept in: What if I forget them by morning?
So, propped up on one elbow, with one eye open and one eye shut, I typed them into my phone.
Next day, it took me a solid minute to decipher what I had written. It looked like a weird mix of Elvish and Klingon.
I wrote the rest of the lyrics around that moment, shaping the chorus as a series of direct questions life throws right at us, testing how much we can endure. And since this is roughly my 20th personal project, my takeaway is clear: drop the whole “Oh, I didn’t achieve anything with this” pity party and move on. Try again, head in a new direction, and avoid the mistakes you made before. And that doesn’t just apply to projects. It’s about everything: a failed relationship, a ruined plan, you name it.
So: Keep moving!
…and listen to the song :))
Even though the music is AI-generated, it was far from a simple ‘one-click prompt’. The lyrics are originally written in my native language (usually), then translated using AI to ensure the expressions retain their true meaning in English. Sorry for using AI here, but Google Translate really stinks for this. But that’s not a strict rule. It’s usually the process I rely on when I enter my dumb state and my last remaining neuron is playing hide-and-seek with the English language. Obviously, rhymes don’t translate directly, so that’s where my hands-on process comes in: rearranging, refining, and making personal adjustments to get the vibe just right.
