".....If you're free you'll never see the walls,
If your head is clear you'll never free fall,
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong,
If your head is high you'll never fear at all...." and the song fades out. The entire room has this sort of sudden silence and I stand there in front of the mirror, just like Chris Cornell, with a comb tightly clasped in my hands. It takes about half a minute for me to get back to reality and very bitterly taste the truth that I am still a wannabe; a wannabe in many fields.
This has been the case with not only a young adult like me, but also with almost everyone; even nonagenarians.
Recently, I saw the movie- 'The Shawshank Redemption' narrated by Morgan Freeman. The part which pierced into my grey matter and made me think was not the story, definitely not the cinematography, but the narration and the simple yet explicit dialogues. I really admire the people behind the creation of exemplary dialogues and scripts and feel that they too should be given more fame by giving them a red-carpet welcome with a large cavalcade at various fabled award functions.
When I think about the lyrics of Eminem, which makes many people blench; I have this awe-inspiring feeling towards him for the number of rhyme schemes he produces line after line in his songs; put apart the abysmally bad lyrics. The content of the lyrics though has been beautifully scripted with respect to the amount of hardships he has faced in life and also Eminem who has been deprived of his childhood privileges. So, when one is depressed or dejected over something, he or she gets innately inspired by his songs which are at times really motivating. For example, the songs 'Till I Collapse' and 'Lose yourself' are so powerful that it can make even an immobile, downtrodden person to get up and walk with a feeling of self-respect, not to mention his 'high-octaned' video performance which adds to the paroxysm. To support my ideology on the impact of phrases and lyrics on one's life, I am ending this article by quoting few lines from Eminem's song 'Till I collapse'-
It goes like this- "Sometimes you just feel tired, feel weak
And when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up
But you gotta search within you, try to find that inner strength
and just pull that shit out of you
And get that motivation not to give up, and not be a quitter
No matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face, and collapse......"
...
...
and ends the song in a very motivating manner- "Until the roof, The roof comes off .
Until my legs, Give out from under me.
I will not fall, I will stand tall
Feels like no one can beat me."
