This track is a moving blues ballad that chronicles the journey of a man who breaks free from his secluded world of literary fantasy and discovers true life and mission through "suffering" in the real world.
The gentle acoustic guitar intro sets a narrative tone, describing the protagonist who used to travel to the "ends of the world" from his study chair, contemptuous of a "foolish and unsalvageable" reality. Yet, one morning, he opens the door for no reason and, through days filled with unplanned failures and tears of regret, discovers the warmth of truly being "alive."
The powerful chorus quotes ancient wisdom, stating the truth of his journey: the "Great Mission bestowed by Heaven" must first bring suffering to the heart and toil to the body. This message is inscribed on his soul-not through book knowledge, but through the taste of bread grasped with scarred hands-confirming that "pain is the mark of a mission."
The song turns to profound hope in the bridge, where he recognizes his own life-crying, laughing, and struggling-among the "foolish people" he once scorned. This blues is a fervent cheer for everyone urged to step out of their safe haven and live their own story.
