lyrics

she knows her fate, yet she can't understand /why she's doomed to loneliness if /she is willing to live /she' been left alone in an enormous crowd /uninteresting for the rest of the world /she's got to deal with – isolation /this society treats improperly -the old, poor, disabled and sick
she's got to deal with – isolation / (for communication equals economic interaction)/ no word to beat her eardrums- but her own mumbling /nothing but a screen -to relieve her solitary /now she's at the border - of madness and death /still waiting help - someone to care / no one to listen hear her cries- but herself /no one to see feel her pain - but herself

"This one is for those who are left alone, who are excluded from the society due to their disabilities, age (being “too old” or “ too young”), wealth or simply for bearing a certain quality that makes a person unfruitful, incompetent to the system . In a competitive society people spend huge amounts of
time and energy to reach that ultimate goal laid ahead of them. We are so busy with winning the race or at least to show some results or progress that we have no time to spend with those out of the race.
But instead of thinking about how we could involve them in this rat race, where we should place them on an uneven playing field, we should rethink and rephrase the whole concept, we should set new goals and let them be attainable for everyone and we should straighten that playing field and call the race off."
