DECODING THESE LYRICS

Chapter 1

Hi Time-Tripper,

Yes, that's how I will call this community starting this Year.

As you know, in this song I'm not singing, but you hear a message given.

In this song, I'm talking to myself, and if this message is the same for you, go and comment “Decoding message,” which will means you also relate to what I'm about to share with you in this Blog. The clip that I'm sharing as a reel/short/TikTok says :

"With courage as your fuel, ascend up high. The voice that whispers ‘no’ you must deny; embrace the struggle, give your dreams one more try.''

Let's break it down,

A definition of Courage says:

Courage is the strength to act for a worthy goal.

In the last 3 years, I've been discovering that I have so many goals and dreams to accomplish, but the problem with me is that I struggle with discipline and commitment to keep working on them, to accomplish them.

One of my dreams is to play piano, like the incredible and professional pianists who play you an entire song, reading or without reading the partiture. Another dream is to play guitar and to sing. this dreams started to be shaped when I was a teenager and then grew after 2020 when I spent more time with some friends that I admire and envy for the talent that they have for playing piano, guitar, and singing.

Every time that I was with them, I felt very small (in terms of doing music, I was the one with 0.01 % of knowledge in music) because I wanted to be part of or feel like part of the master minds begind what they were creating.

I remember one day seeing one of them singing and playing a guitar so good that I felt angry, and then I confronted myself right there in the moment:

-You are mad, you are mad, right!? Why are you mad!?

And the answer came from the depths of my heart and mind:

-I have envy of this person, I want to be like this person, so good, so talented.

But my next answer to that was:

-But you don't know all that this person went through to be there, shining and showing you all that, do you? Do you think they started yesterday without any problem and very easily?

I was in shock, because in that moment I dared to confront myself and to accept the behavior that I was in.

You know, now every time I see someone who is so good at something, one of the first thoughts coming to my mind is: The courage this person had to go over whatever situation in life and keep developing this skill is incredible, the discipline is very reflected in what is doing.

SONG AVAILABLE HERE

Even these days, when I am trying to make music(most of the time on my PC), I try to go first to my piano, but I always end up on my PC because is easer, I don't like to do that, but my ideas flow quickly. When I finally create the song idea, I go to my piano to practice it because again, my dream is to play piano. But this is the time where my life, specificly this moments in my life, gets interesting.

This is the interesting part!

When I start to practice the piano, the song that I just made in my DAW, everything turns different.

First, I cannot find the keys in the piano, even when I have a book where is teaching me how to put my fingers in the right position for better playing and moving around the keys. After that, I start to feel the pressure of the metronome, and that is when I start to hear a voice inside myself saying things like:

-Don't be ridiculous…

-You are not a musician… Who told you that?

-stop

-You are wasting your time, you never will learn, you dumb…

I can tell you the last couple times I've sit to practice this song and I wanted to cry, because I realize if I dont practice, if follow this voice, if I dont try, no one else will do it for me, no one else will acomplish it for me, and the feeling of success will come only if I try one more time today, or the days I schedule to do it, If I follow the voice that wisppers ‘no’ I will become a jar of insecurities and weakenesses more that the ones I'm trying to leave behind.

I started this song avoiding the fact that the message was really for me, at first I thought this was a song with a message dedicated to the people that is strugguling with the courage to keep in their hearts today, tomorrow, and the next day. People who think insecurities are problems in their lives are taking total control of them. NO, it's not that.

The message is for me, but it can be applied to you in any struggle you're facing in your life.

In this days that I want to make music, create great music like the music that people I admire make is hard not feel insecurity, or let a bit of comparation comes to your mind, is hard not to feel that "I am very behind" and probably "will never do it" specially for me, now that AI came to change a lot of things spetially MUSIC, is imposible not to doubt abut if bein so human will makes me less interesting, using time travel concept will make you feel atracted to my content and if showing my art instead of my face will make you connect with me, my song, or my music style that I still creating.

Hope you have a great week, and remember to Suscribe to my EMAIL LIST, so you will be the firt on reading the coming blog next week, to keep decoding this message given in my song.

Sincerely,
