The plan has been made
everything has been thought of
all scenarios well played
almost nothing to be afraid of

Yet the actions have been delayed
the starting point is taking too long
it’s not a matter of being afraid
sense of commitment is not that strong

The principle is to start and fail fast
the lessons learned will get you there
the failure will be a thing of the past
in addition to the above you have to dare

It’s been a month since she’s arrived
and it’s been strange yet beautiful
I wasn’t really so much surprised
as much as everyone expected to

There is always a struggle to change
not every time at the same level
this time I had my feelings to exchange
as the moment was so great

The great thing about this arrival
is that you have to immediately depart
it’s almost a matter of survival
as your previous life is now just the past

So many things need to come out of my head
so much music ready to be unleashed into the world
the sense of creativity this time has reached level red
and I am alone in the studio as if I do not want to be heard

I have played and replayed this inside my mind
I think I ‘m ready but maybe I ‘m not, who’s to decide
the art has to be released, for other people to find
this kind of self esteem needs not to be denied

Is it the right time or is it not? nobody knows for sure
it’s just a matter of a brave move, you have to believe in
the hesitation is normal, the publicity you have to endure
once you show to the world the muse that comes from within

A Time of Reflection

alive, art, life, music, personal, reflection

It’s been years since you last seen them
It’s been years you ‘ve been listening to them
and now you are watching them live
and it’s just better than the last time

And you think of all the years that have passed
you realize that only yet you have to understand
that life has gone by and you are still alive
and music has been your only way to escape time

Last night in Vienna was amazing you will remember
not because you ‘ve listened to the same old songs
but for a moment you went back in time and saw
your younger self not being able to think of this at all

And yet, you are here still in the same mood
when listening to them, is getting to you for good
music does this to you and you feel younger in time
more experienced and still, music makes you feel alive

Thoughts that are stored deep in your subconscious mind
will not be there for long they will in some time rise
they will control your conscious thoughts and behaviour at first
before they become desires demanding you to quench their thirst

There was probably a time that you rejected their nature
you knew they were bad even if they promised you pleasure
and you reacted by suppressing them into the back of your mind
thoughts you thought were bad once are now surfacing aligned

And you are afraid of them because you may not be able to control
the desire to embrace them and stop resisting from them all
because all these years have got you tired and made you weak
that ‘s why they are coming back at you now your future is bleak

The worst part of all is that you don’t know how they will return
you are afraid of the way they will surface and take their revenge
but what you fear the most is that they may reveal your secrets somehow
forcing you to spell them out while you sleep perhaps; remember… you are weak now

As you grow old most of these things start to get out of your control
you get tired your value ties get weaker and you are far from standing tall
you see need makes you do stuff and in the process you get a lot to hide
and your only way out is to tame not eliminate those thoughts along the ride

You know by now that eliminating your passions is not always a fool proof solution
by nature you are expected to bow to these desires and thoughts but that’s not evolution
your instinct tells you that a controllable chaos needs to be maintained somehow within oneself
in order for your mind to be set free from these and be able its sanity to conserve

what this chaos will be?
does it really set your mind and body free?
does it set you free from your passions, unconscious thoughts or acquired disorders?
or is this yet another mind game to acquire fears beyond of what is real?

you know you need that place to feel immunity and that is what your instinct calls a chaos
it doesn’t have to be a real place it just has to be that place where oneself allows
everything to be said to be heard to happen and to let it all out
fears, passions, thoughts, desires, suppressed feelings that nobody else should find out

Remember those thoughts that you stored deep in your subconscious mind?
they are all gone now; they have transformed in creative bits of some kind
you ‘ve set them free
you are now free
others will come but do not drift apart
the solution, the relief, the chaos you ‘ve been looking for is art
