Have You Found Your Own Self-Motivating Song?

Have you found your own self-motivating song?

In every piece of music, lyrics tell half of the story (and the other half is the melody), and if there is a time that you find the lyrics are actually doing 100% great, which means the 50% of the music itself is perfectly done since it’s actually exceeding double of normal music… Then, you know this is a piece of well-written music.

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
And with the cataclysm raining down
Insides crying, “Save me now!”
You were there, impossibly alone

And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of tempered grace
Falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go. Let it go

Lyrics: Iridescent – Linkin Park

Appreciating the lyrics:

Negative words appear in each line of the lyrics (bolded). This song is too special to me as it demonstrates how a lyricist turns the “negativity” to “positivity,” with just a simple message to deliver: “Let it go.” That’s why I see it as a self-motivating song.

Just told a friend that this is one of the best songs on my self-motivating song list. Life is not about a single person nor a single thing, you cannot hold on to that tabasco sauce and miss out on the whole piece of pizza… You have a precious and lucky life in excellent condition. Look around yourself and you’ll see this world is much bigger than you thought it was. Aren’t all these just some simple philosophies in life that everyone should have known? Well… you always know it, but you never act accordingly, and that’s also why we are human beings.
