All the emotion, the excitement, the spontaneity and expectancy; suddenly dissolves into nothingness. As the days go by, as life makes you grow, You slowly lose the illusion. You do the same things, with the same people, You watch yourself begin to settle into a monotonous routine. Waking up, and expecting nothing, but what yesterday already offered. Talking with your group of friends, and gossiping about the same old events. Society obligates us to follow an unwavering schedule; It controls our time, our ideas and also our capacity. They keep us in a corral of sameness, forcing us to live an ordinary life, with ordinary people. Always fulfilling their expectations, following their protocols, living up by their repetitive standards. A never changing life...
