The Last Walk XII – Under the Radar

I’ve been there once again
tried to recall all things said
only the path was the same
everything else has changed

I ‘ve been there but nobody knew
I was really trying to start anew
but the memory forced me in a state of bliss
next to my best friend who I dearly miss

Another walk down the memory lane
perhaps is what still keeps me sane
the memory of the last walk in my mind
remains deeper inside than any other kind

I ‘m forcing it all to come to surface
this day is all about going back to our base
the struggle may be obvious indeed
but remembering it all has become a need

It has nothing to do with the last walk
the plan, the action, the point of the talk
it’s been twelve years and I miss you friend
the plan still lives on, it will never end

What are you afraid of?

Everything is moving fast these days
everybody leaves and nobody stays
abandoned in a miserable lonely state
wondering if I should accept my fate

Loneliness is not in fact the bad part
especially when you have a lonely heart
it gets worse when the writer’s block hits
and that’s when you really get the chills

Becoming familiar with the new rate of change
I admit at first it feels a little bit strange
are we actually getting somewhere better
or are we spinning around the same centre?

There’s always a question of why in all this
people are getting softer and nobody speaks
should you raise your hand or speak up right now
should you remain silent and avoid it somehow

That life that you seek is what you call salvation
at least that’s what you ‘re after without hesitation
let’s raise a glass or two for a life with no trade off
and the question now becomes “what are you afraid of?”

We Created Life

So much going on right now
I can’t believe it, I have to say “wow”
no matter how frightening this can be
it’s excitingly beautiful to say the least

Expected it or not I don’t know
planted, but who knew it would grow
felt great once and passed my mind
I really thought we created life

Still too early and cannot say much
time will tell and people will judge
we keep things the way we want to
this is the hard and fun part of improptu

Let’s see how we handle this and how it goes
where do we get from here nobody knows
we are at the root of something that is alive
the name “X” is on the table but will it thrive?

Turnarounds

Another turnaround in the mix
a little action is what life needs
indeed only now I ‘m a little older
I can’t take it that easy

You can’t escape life you know
it will force you to go with its flow
I could keep things independent
but again, not that easy

A brother that has come back
is changing my very own luck
whether that’s good or not
we ‘ll find out soon

I think if things were independent
I wouldn’t be so much dependent
on things that force me now to change
but hey, I aim for the moon

I want it all and that means dedication
away from people, work full on inspiration
while turnarounds will still exist
you have a goal to achieve

The one thing that I think I need the most
is a place to go whenever I get so lost
a place that will be totally independent
for whenever I need to leave

Turnarounds won’t affect you this much that way…

Down Again

I ‘ve reached again the lowest point
but this time it feels a lot more fun
because I know for a fact I ‘ll get back up

Those things that keep getting better
are the ones not under my control
as always though, I need more

So far away from everyone else
one may ponder why I am still here
keep going ahead without any fear

Not sure if I should say all these
to someone I don’t know, like you
do you really know how to be true?

I ‘ve seen the good, I ‘ve seen the bad
the world is still moving on quite fast
let’s hope all resources will last

The yellow, the red, the blue, the white
all colours seem to be a little bright
same as your future and perhaps mine

The Times are AI Changing…

It is not something really new
well I guess that’s my point of view
it’s been expected a while now…

Some people say it has begun
the end is near and other stuff
all I can think of really is wow…

It’s everywhere and everything
but still recognizable a bit
at least for now you can tell…

The “times are changing” is a trap
most people unable to keep up
hope this one ends well…

It’s just another tool indeed
perhaps an ego satisfying “I did!”
use or abuse is up to you…

In an already superficial world
we experience artificial more and more
change is constant, mind you…

What is real anymore?

I Choose Not To…

An opportunity has appeared
but I decided to not even try
as bad as it may sound or look
only I, can understand why

It’s one thing moving forward
it’s another enslaving myself
to what others call “better life”
I will remain on the same shelf

The reason is quite simple now
yet it is hard to be understood
I know myself and it’s too early
I ‘m not ready for the shoot

When will I be ready? you ask
when is it the right time then?
I know me, I like to take my time
hopefully not too late by then

People seem surprised at first
people seem to undermine me
the sacrifice is not worth it
and I see no benefitting me

In a “better life” where I lose me
I choose not to dive in

Made It

Made it for once without too much hustle
it just came to me and went all in
never to forget so much confidence in me
what I heard eventually at least was “wow”

It’s strange when you feel like that alone
a whole different thing in front of others though
and it just somehow hit me not to say no
all the odds turned in favour, how? I do not know

One of those times that your instinct works
you know exactly what to do and you have lots
yet it’s almost crystal clear how you connect the dots
ignoring what keeps you back and stalls

Don’t like to brag about it but I made it
still happy now that’s why I can say it
a few moments of being proud and enjoy it
I really never thought I would made it

Easy now…

The same things that bothered me in the past
have now got back to me and they ‘re pushing hard
now whatever I have to do I have to do it fast
this time though, it really caught me off guard

All the things that need to be done and more
I never saw this chance coming at me like that
and now I have to be even faster than before
if I really want to keep wearing the winner’s hat

Not sure if what I ‘m doing is at all the right thing
as always we take it as it goes and just go with it
no matter how hard or easy it is what life will bring
consistency is the key, I know that, I ‘ve seen it

Time is not Enough

Nobody told me when I was young
that as I get older time is not enough
and I could not foresee this like the rest
I realize this now that I ‘m part of the test

It’s hard to maintain consistency now
there is no time but I can manage somehow
of all the things that show up all the time
I tend to keep the ones that keep me alive

The problem with this I cannot keep up
no matter how much I try I always end up
falling short of time and a little bit behind
and this messes up with my tireless mind

It’s also hard to say no when there’s a tease
DOs and WANTs of the past I can now please
and when these come into the game again
the mind can resist yet the heart will not refrain

Some people say it’s a matter of choice
and that’s always the catch nobody enjoys
it’s really hard to manage and do all things you love
you have to choose only a few as time is not enough
