Embracing Self-Reliance in the Face of Existential Uncertainty

The song 'Existence' by SiM (Silence iz Mine) delves into the themes of self-identity, the passage of time, and the struggle to find meaning in a world that often appears morally ambiguous and resistant to change. The lyrics express a sense of urgency and a desire for self-realization amidst the complexities of life.

The opening lines set the tone for a search for clarity ('I’m waiting for the sun rises again'), which can be interpreted as a metaphor for understanding and enlightenment. The song then touches on the dichotomy of good and evil, suggesting that such distinctions are not always clear-cut ('Even angels and devils were once the son of God I praised'). This introduces the idea that the world is not simply black and white, but filled with shades of gray. The lyrics also reflect on the inevitability of death and the importance of taking action before it's too late ('It’s too late if you want to do something').

Central to the song is the concept of self-reliance ('I’m the only one who can save myself'). The artist emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and the power of the individual to effect change, even when faced with the relentless march of time ('Time is money, but money won’t turn back the clock'). The repeated affirmations ('Yes, I know, yes, I know that I') serve as a mantra, reinforcing the singer's resolve to remain true to themselves ('all I wanna be is me'). The song concludes with a message of hope and perseverance, suggesting that despite the darkness, one must continue to search for their own 'ray of light'.
