Description
The words sound like the inner monologue of a person who is tired but still moving forward - as if their legs are carrying them up a steep hill, even though their heart is begging them to stop. The phrases break into short pieces, like breaths after a long run: there is anger at one's own fatigue, a stubborn ‘pull yourself together,’ and fragments of memories left in the past.
The music embraces this text with a soft but heavy beat, creating the feeling of a grey morning when everything around you is pulling you down, but a voice in your head still says, ‘Don't give up.’ The result is an honest, hoarse sketch of life at a turning point - with pain, self-irony and a tiny spark of hope that refuses to die out.
