a man's question

This track is an introspective and dramatic blues song that uses a simple question from a lone man to expose the "darkness of the heart"-the fundamental anxieties and solitude that society chooses to ignore.

The man's question, "Are there such things as ghosts?," is not a demand for a factual answer but a "clumsy password for opening the heart." Yet, people dismiss it with settled logic, laughing it off as they divert their gaze from the "monsters" dwelling in their own insecure hearts.

The powerful line in the chorus, "Don't you smirk, you coward," strikes at the false sense of security of the masses who adopt the same expression to avoid isolation. The song asserts that the real fear is "averting your eyes from the darkness of your own heart," and that this deceit is the true plague infecting the city.

The song builds to a dramatic peak, arguing that life is meaningless without knowing the pain and brilliance that comes from genuine struggle. As the lone man walks on, his isolated question dissolves into the air. This blues is a soul's diagnostic chart for modern society, arguing that true connection and meaning can only arise from abandoning easy smiles and confronting the darkness within each other.
