There are 3 types of people we deal with everyday. You can see all 3 in the comments regarding this song. 1) Dreamers, people who make things happen because they know that whatever comes at them, they alone control their response to it. "No one else can feel it for you" 2) Followers, people who are afraid of creating their own path because of uncertainty, doubt, and fear. Most are afraid of what others will think so they do what they are told. They try to meet the minimum requirements of life and never truly break through to personal greatness. Most do not want to be in this category, because over time, life has a way of showing the truth of who you are. People who live in this realm are always "hoping for more" or making an excuse as to why they never accomplished the goals they set for themselves. Every New Years Eve, they scream proudly "This new year is going to be different," yet find themselves 1 year later, in the same or worse place as the year before. Then at the end of their life, all the should of, would of and could of regrets, are buried under all the things they have or "treasured memories" they will use as excuses to not feel the pain of regret. This is the worse place to be. 3) The final type of person are the Karen's (male or female) of the world. They won't reach out and grab for the unknown to make something new and different for themselves. But these folks are super angry with where thy have been put in life. They made lousy choices early on, and will never take responsibility for their own actions. They believe they can do and say whatever they want, they work to make everyone feel as miserable as they are, they will tell you how wrong you are while they are always right, they have an excuse or lie to explain the good that is happening to others and not themselves and they will constantly pull everyone else down to their level of horrible existence, they have no desire or intention to rise and be better. They are miserable inside and out and they will destroy as many as they can to make sure no one else is happier than they are. All 3 types have made comments to this artists' picture of what she knows everyone is capable of. I was type 2 for years. I thought I was a dreamer but I had excuses for not accomplishing my goals. I'm now 60 years young and last month I lost my wife and best friend of more than 44 years. I was distraught and broken. I couldn't figure out what I was to do next. For almost 40 days now, the type 2 and type 3 people have been telling me what I should be doing. I even had a self proclaimed miserable person actually tell me life sucks and since my life is over now, just quit. Nobody wants people around that are sad all the time. Just get over it. Yep, that Karen actually told me to get over it. And then, the most beautiful person said to me that I can do anything. That my life is a blank book to write how I want to finish my story. To get advice but to go after my dreams and show my wife and myself what I am truly capable of. No more fear, no more regrets just go for it. And then she played this song. I believe it means we have to open our selves up and to be honest. We have spent our entire existence throwing dirt on the windows, to hide our true capabilities. We have let others decide our fate and now it is time for us to look past it all, feel the real rain on our skin and write our own words, because we have the power to do so. No one else can do it for us, but they will lie and make us believe what they have is better. These lyrics have woken the inner dreamer in me and no matter how "cheesy" that is for those that make excuses, I WILL WIN.
