Aria Eques - Game of Life (Audio)

Показать описание

Do you know what I believe?

That the world is a massive chessboard with a billion chess pieces, each representing a life. Or maybe a better simulation of reality is the existence of numerous chessboards where the borders are blurred.
The rules of these chess boards aren't that clear. Even if some of them are "accepted" by the majority, they are being bent, violated, and sometimes they contradict each other. A yesterday pawn can become a bishop overnight, while a yesterday king can become a pawn tomorrow. In such a setting we try to survive. We try to stay true to ourselves and to acquire this desired fruit of ... happiness.

Hey! I'm Aria and I wrote and recorded this song when I was 15-16 and finally gathered the courage to upload it. Hope you enjoy it!
(P.s. English is not my first language and I was young then, so excuse my pronunciation and grammar. Thank youu!)

Lyrics:

Every time
I feel something deep inside
I feel like
I've lost sight of who I am
And I say "What's your name?"
And I look in the mirror
Is this person that I see
A mere stranger or just me?
They say I must not pretend and hide my feelings
cause that drives me to lose my mind
But I feel like that's a lie
Cause these don't apply in real life
What do I do (x2)
I have no clue

Chorus:
I'm alive
But not fine
My soul's crying to survive
In this hell and this mess this world calls reality
Where's the sin in being different
Who did tell you we ain't decent
What's wrong with that game so-called life

Verse 2:
Just a pawn
In this unseen chessboard
Different rules and power just like in this world
Kings, Queens, and horses
They can all hear my voices'
Screaming "help me" and for mercy
Not to give up my life for their plans (give up my life meaningless)
They all looked me in the eyes with a cold and fraudulent face
I sensed the apathy the felt for me
Who do you think I am?
Just a lifeless trash serving ya
Well I have some news,
I am human too

Chorus
