A Story About A Boy
The Illusion of Perfection: A Boy's Journey Within
Lyrics
This story starts with a boy who has a perfect life
This story begins with a boy who appears to have an ideal life.
A wonderful family and friends he could trust
He has a supportive family and trustworthy friends.
Most people say he has everything
Despite external perceptions, many people believe he possesses everything.
But inside he lost something
Internally, he feels a loss, something not easily noticeable.
Something that is difficult to see
The loss is intangible and hard to discern.
Stories like this often ignore he has a broken heart
Common narratives often overlook the fact that he carries emotional pain.
Like everybody else, he's fragile as a child
Like everyone, he is emotionally vulnerable, akin to a child.
But they expect he could do well
Expectations are high for him to succeed despite his fragility.
So he tried and he did well
He attempts and succeeds, learning to avoid admitting failure.
He learned that he could never say he fails
He discovers the difficulty in acknowledging his failures.
He thought, he could win, each fight, not for him
Believing he can triumph in every battle, not just for himself.
Some people told him, you can stand up and keep trying
Encouraged by some to persevere, but he faces repeated losses.
So he tried, but he lost, each fight, that's for him
Despite efforts, he experiences defeat in battles meant for him.
Even when he can't stand, he'll never understand
Even when he's down, he struggles to comprehend his situation.
The story goes on with this boy who thought he could
The narrative continues with a boy aspiring to change the world by pretending to be someone else.
Just change the world by being who he's not.
Attempting to be a fake yet perfect man, contrary to most people's expectations.
Most people thought that he could be
People believe he could embody that ideal, though he knows it's false.
That fake yet perfect man
He decides to attempt it, realizing it's an unrealistic fantasy.
So he said that he could give it a try
Acknowledging that such a person is purely a figment of imagination.
There's no such person even if it's a fantasy
It takes decades for him to realize that this pursuit is a mere dream.
And it took him decades to realize it's a dream
His own self-created story, a plot, and a dialogue that never materialize.
A story that he tells himself
Believing he could become that ideal person in his dreams.
A plot that he wrote
Constantly reinforcing the idea that he can persevere and keep trying.
A dialogue that never exists
Despite efforts, he loses even his own identity.
He thought, he could be, that guy, in his dream
Still holding onto the belief that he will understand when he can stand up again.
He always tells himself, you can stand up and keep trying
Unaware that he won't be able to stand up again.
So he tried, but he lost, even his own self
Persisting efforts lead to further emotional and personal disintegration.
He thought he'll understand, when he can stand up again
Believing he will comprehend once he regains his footing.
Little did he know, he couldn't stand up anymore
Realizing he can no longer stand up, facing an irreversible situation.
The more he tried, the more he was torn apart
His continuous efforts result in increased emotional turmoil.
His hopes are gone, his goals are too far
All hopes are lost, and his goals seem unattainable.
Now he tells himself, you can stand up but you will fall
He acknowledges the possibility of standing up but anticipates a fall.
He stood up, he failed, he realized, it's life
Standing up, failing, realizing the harsh nature of life.
He thought he understood, but life has just begun
Thinking he understands life, only to realize it's just the beginning.
The story ends with a boy who tried everything
The story concludes with a boy attempting various endeavors.
Tried saving the world and tried saving human souls
Efforts to save the world and humanity, seeking a deeper understanding.
He did all of these just to know
After all attempts, he learns that the only option left is to end this story and start anew.
That the only thing he could do
Realizing that the only thing within his control is to create a better narrative.
Is to end this story and start a better one
The resolution involves concluding this story and embarking on a fresh journey.
