"His Motive (of Mind)"

Hello all,

For my third post today I will be going over my song, "His Motive (Of Mind)." Please don't get scared from the title, the song does NOT bite, I assure you! Yes, even I wonder why I can't be simple with naming songs sometimes too. 

The inspiration behind writing this song, was a dream that I had one night. An older boy, with a mask over his face. He was looking over a crowd of people as they were buying groceries. Long story short, he jumped into the crowd, stole a couple bags from some of the people and ran as fast as he could, before he was arrested by the police. In this dream, I was an onlooker, an observer, as I was watching it all unfold before my eyes. 

When I woke up, I was thinking that morning about it, and thought to myself that similar situations like someone stealing from others, happen every day, but we seem to tend to forget that there is always two parts to the story, or two sides. 

"He walks an unknown road,
 Doing everything he tried,
 No one would notice him,
 Until he became a lie,
 With everything around him,
 His passive ways, resigned,
 Setting an example, in,
 His motive, of mind,"

Someone about to steal money

Not that I comply at all with the actions of stealing, or theft. However, I do think that it's important to understand 'why' someone would do such a thing, and in "His Motive (Of Mind)" as a songwriter, I attempted to reflect both sides of such a situation. 

 "He walks an unknown road,
  Doing everything he tried,"

-If you're someone who has given up on all odds of helping yourself out with your problems, you would probably rely on no one, and just wake up every day, expecting nothing to happen. This line means simply that, once you've tried everything, there's nothing left."

"No one would notice him,
 Until he became a lie,
 With everything around him,
 His passive ways, resigned,
 Setting an example, in,
 His motive, of mind,"

-I wish this is not true, because all of you are beautiful and have something to offer in this world, but there are many who don't believe that. In my dream, this teenager was ignored by everyone, before he committed the crime. In that instant, he gave up on being nice or portraying himself in a nice light. He would give anything for people to notice him, so he did something bad. The irony is, all he wanted was love. All of you are loved, so never forget that, or let it slip your mind. Please remember that, it is very important :).

Enjoy the mini voice recording of "His Motive (Of Mind)" and till next post, peace out to all my drafters! =)

 
Sincerely,
Julian.
