My mind drifts away with the sweet melody and the heavy rhythm.
My body no longer feels like my own.
The pain has almost faded.
Caramel, aspartame, caffeine
I surrender myself to the swirling rush.
Where is the Battlefield?
A beast without reason makes killing today’s prey part of its routine
with a neatly polished pink knife.
It sometimes fails, but always finishes the job.
The sweet nectar from wounds brings a flicker of pleasure,
and the devil’s tail trembles.
This is a place wrapped in pitch black skies with no stars,
and a sunset that feels all wrong.
Low bass echoes heavily,
blending with sweet leads that melt the heart.

“Capitalism” Line: Rush Hour Train
The hopeless world keeps spinning today too.
The city, developed and systemized,
absorbs its people into that system.
The society we once dreamed of, full of hope and diversity,
is now riding the “Capitalism” line,
speeding in a direction no one really wants.
A lonely hand, still searching for someone,
clutches a machine tightly.

Thank you for picking up this book.
This time, I’ve captured a small part of my relationship with the music I love.
The worlds that music creates can be bright, dark, or deeply inward
sometimes they throw me in every direction.
But each one is precious, and I cherish them all.
See you again soon!
