From the very first seconds, you get the feeling that this is not just a track, but a conversation taken straight from a text message or a kitchen table after midnight. Chaotic, honest, with that very intonation when the truth bursts out in pieces: we fall, we argue, we fight, but we still live. And what we hear in this is not a complaint, but acceptance - ‘yes, that's how it is, so what now’.

There is an ironic heaviness in the rhythm: as if the world around us is spinning its news tape, where everyone already knows everything and teaches everyone else, while we ourselves drown in simple confessions - about quarrels, about falls, about the fact that life is sometimes just ‘life sometimes’. And behind this simple repetition lies strength: as if this casual confession gives birth to a real soundtrack for the stubborn, those who will get up and move on anyway, even if they fall again.
