The whole point of calling yourself creative, is to be creative. To make new, crazy things in your chosen medium, to break boundaries, to mix and match and create and destroy until you have something beautiful. Here's my contribution.
If you know me even a little bit, you know my crazy-yet-amazing taste in music. So do me a favour. Open a new tab and listen to Sunrise in Aries by God Is An Astronaut. Not only is it an amazing song, you kinda sorta need it to comprehend the rest of this post.
Done? Heard? If not heard, go listen NOW. If heard....listen again, there's no harm.
So here's the juicy bit.
My brilliant mind came up with this poem/rap/spoken word thing that "goes with" the song. Yes they're 2 separate entities but I kinda sorta wrote the poem to recite alongside the song. Like the song was playing a part in the poem, like they complement one another. Don't be scared if you don't understand this - I'm the creator, I don't understand it either.
Anyway. Listen to the song and read this poem simultaneously. You'll get the hang of the rhythm after a while. Feel free to leave comments.
In the sky, in the sky, in the sky - pretty lights passing by.
In the night, in the night, in the night - the lights twinkle, and they shine.
All the time, all the time, all the time - fighting with the moonlight-
It glows white, it glows white, it glows white, till the morning rise.
Looking at the dark ceiling,
I get a light feeling,
Like it's Bliss I'm dealing with
But I'm just dreaming.
While the wind blows and
While the stars glow and
While the night closes in
I see a light-show and -
I'm feeling cold,
I'm feeling bold,
I'm feeling like rebelling to whatever's told to me,
The wind blows through me,
It's like the world knows me
Before I've become whatever it is I was born to be.
Grab your destiny with both hands,
never let it go
And if you choose to make your own path,
better so.
Better to play with your chances,
Always take the lonely road not taken.
Not so long ago you were mistaken, for someone else,
Braking right behind the crowd.
Shake it up! Leave no doubt,
Awaken yourself, and scream, and shout.
Waking up and taking orders,
Faking smiles and hating order -
This world is yours to dissolve.
So the morning comes,
I'm still not done,
Trying to find whatever prize it was I thought I'd won.
Winning's not a big thing -
But losing is, and even in the spring
You'll find yourself shivering
Maybe now you're wondering -
You've fallen more times than you can count,
Worse than you care to think about,
But if you choose to refuse Society's noose
Of opinion and games - you can't lose if you never play.
Every artery, every vein,
every bondage, every shackle of disdain,
Every hurt, every hole,
All the heartbreak, all the pain,
All the aches, the defeat,
Insignificant as a grain of sand.
Grab your destiny with both hands,

I was looking at the dark ceiling,
I had a light feeling,
Like it was Bliss I was dealing with
But I was just dreaming.
While the wind was blowing and
While the stars were glowing and
While the night was closing in
I saw the lights showing and -
I was feeling cold,
I was feeling bold,
I was feeling like rebelling to whatever was told to me,
The wind was blowing through me,
It's like the world had known me
Before I'd become whatever it is I was born to be.
Now after the sunrise,
All I feel is one tide
Of feeling - and I know that last night,
Last night was my sole pride
Before my fall into a new day,
My fall into a new way
Of life - Who said that the world was split into black and white?
Blast off, into the 7th gear,
Free your mind, forget fear,
You're free to go, the sky's clear
Now you just have to steer your ship
Into Heaven or Hades'
home, you'll see lords and ladies

Into Heaven or Hades'
home, you'll see lords and ladies
Or, maybe devils or fairies
Or, maybe a Sunrise in Aries.
Grab your destiny with both hands,
don't you dare let it go
And if you had made it yourself,
even better so.
Better you played with your chances,
Always take the lonely roads not taken.
Never again will you be mistaken, for someone else,
Braking right behind the crowd.
Shake it up! Leave no doubt,
Awaken yourself, and scream, and shout.
Waking up and...forget your orders!
Forget fake smiles! You know you hate order-
This world is yours to dissolve.
If you made it through till the end, Merci Beaucoup for reading.
