39 Black Star (2/2)

A song everyone else is singing

I lost my voice

I lost myself

I lost the essence of my dream”

Oh. The audience thought about the methods they were using to achieve their dreams. Weren't they just doing what everybody else was doing? They were always competing with each other using the same, old formula. It became all about crushing the opponents to get ahead or even just riding others' momentum, instead of staying true to themselves.

”My shooting star lost its light

I died, I faded

I am nothing

Nothing but a black star

A black star in the grave of dreams

I cried, I prayed

Yet I'm still nothing

Nothing but a black star

A black star crawling up the grave of dreams”

In the audience, the ones who failed to successfully achieve their dreams felt like someone stabbed a sharp knife to their hearts and twisted hard. Some had tears in their eyes, remembering the hopeless feeling of despair when they realized that they weren't good enough, lucky enough to achieve their dreams. They were failures in life; no choice but to give up their dreams and settle for the safe, easy paths.

”Oh, stars above

Oh, land of dreams

I failed but I'm still dreaming

The meaning of life is to live our dreams

We fail, we fall

Yet still we keep on dreaming

No matter how far a black star falls

It's still a star that can glow again”

Their hearts thumped. They already failed. They had already given up. Could they really keep on dreaming? Should they keep on dreaming? Could their passion really ignite once again?

Unbeknownst to them, a tiny flame of hope had already lit up within their hearts.
