About This Song

The song paints a vivid picture of an individual wrestling with societal expectations and personal integrity. Its emotional core lies in the melancholic yet hopeful reflection on the journey of life, emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself amidst adversity.

The narrative unfolds as the protagonist grapples with the harsh realities of life, feeling a sense of disillusionment and exhaustion from the endless chase for respect and recognition. Despite the trials and tribulations, the song encourages listeners to find strength in their ideals and to persist in their endeavors. The lyrics suggest that, although the world can be overwhelming and often indifferent, there remains a glimmer of hope and potential transformation if one continues to express their true self and pursue their dreams.

Musically, the song features a poignant melody complemented by emotive instrumentation that underscores the lyrical themes of resilience and introspection. The use of imagery, such as references to time burning away and the metaphor of graffiti left by generations, enriches the narrative, allowing listeners to visualize the contrast between the mundane and the aspirational.
