The last piece for this year, I put quite some effort in and missed a good part of #38C3 for it, including driving back to the hotel to record the vocals because I couldn't find a quiet place on the conference.

I am so proud of where I have gotten to musically this year, and I'm very grateful for this opportunity here at WeeklyBeats. smile

I hope the upload is finally working, it threw me out multiple times now.

Lyrics:

Speedrun through the youth, in hope of a reward
sacrifice the life for fame and recognition
got it all assed backwards, the timing wasn't right
in the grown-up world, stuff is getting hard

Go forgo the power, in the name of morality
Go and lose your courage on a shady winter day
What again is time, it's passing without you
Wisdom comes with age, another turning of the wheel

Reset
let me play another time
Let me save and roll again!
This game wasn't made for one pass only

Reset
let me choose a different path
a different character at last!
This soul wasn't made for one life only!

The year comes to a close, the cycle is restored
Glimpse into the future, will you level up this time?
The next attempt is young, not created yet
Grow and go with the flow, you're not getting bored

Find yourself a better power, clean and without shame
Don't be afraid to evolve, time is on your side
Courage isn't gained, it is slowly built
Drops of wisdom from the sea, you touched the water

Reset
let me play another time
Let me save and roll again!
This game wasn't made for one pass only

Reset
let me choose a different path
a different character at last!
This soul wasn't made for one life only!

Reset
let me play another time
Let me save and roll again!
This game wasn't made for one pass only

Reset
let me choose a different path
a different character at last!
This soul wasn't made for one life only!

This soul wasn't made for one life only!

It's comforting to know music can be listened to over and over.

Stumbled upon this, and liked. Quirky but some deep insights in the lyrics. Thank’s for sharing. This weekly beats is such a serendipious (oops spelling?) experience.
