Where the Ark Is Headed

As one biologist put it, Humans are nothing more than vessels for genes (vessels = arks); in other words, we are nothing but a mass of proteins and electrical signals. Yet, even though we are supposedly just matter, we shed tears when we hear a song and feel our hearts swell at something beautiful.It has not yet been fully explained how the brain (electrical signals) can produce such subjective emotions as sadnes and tenderness. It is precisely because we have emotions that we know love, and at the same time, we are plunged into deep anguish. A philosopher once said, Humans are sentenced to the punishment of freedom.Living is inseparable from choosing, worrying, and suffering. That is why people sometimes find themselves frozen in place, overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of their pain. Yet, humanity has overcome this through wisdom, courage, and words How do we share and overcome the suffering of living as human beings No one can predict how we will evolve. I chose this as the title of the song: Where the Ark Is Headed We must consider whether we can leave words that save the hearts of future generations-those who will take up the baton-amidst the difficulties and conflicts of life. The latter part also touches on bullying. While physical harm from bullying is unforgivable, the emotional wounds it causes are accompanied by a pain like being stabbed with a knife. I wrote in the lyrics that one should seek help from those around them as soon as possible. The line No matter how much I worry, struggle, or wish for it, nothing changes expresses the heart s scream and panic. We are not merely lumps of protein. We are people with hearts. I also poured my wish for the eradication of bullying into this song. It is a long song, but I will be satisfied if the message comes across.
