Dark Island

P.S: This is the lyric of a song that I wrote during a road trip to Philip Island near Melbourne. It was a rainy Friday night, I left work, picked up my friend and drove to the island through the heavy traffic and rain. Some words, melodies and feeling came into my mind and I finally came up with this poem:

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Drive through the rainy night

The dark swallow the light

While on the way go back

You see the sunshine

The darkness has gone

But the storm gonna come

When the wind blows down

Another cycle going on

You always want to know, who is in control

You always not so sure, what is your nature

So many times passing by, whats’s on your mind

So many days passing by, we won’t get it back

The good time never last, life is like this

No worries for the future, you can go through

You wanna go away

But stuck in the bay

While when you turn around

You see the ocean

It’s been a long day

You try to run away

Get rid of the game

You don’t want to play

You always want to cry, when you can’t fly

You always want to say, I wanna my own way

So many times hit the road, where is the end

So many times get away , we don’t wanna stay

Getting there is not easy there’s no straight line,

Leave or take those, you will be fine

Life is like a cycle, it never ends
