Finally, this track is now also done. Im gonna be honest, this was harder to make than my first song, but im glad how this turned out, really. Ive also gained a lot of experience on mixing and mastering in general.

What do you think about the word outcast? Probably these things.

Insecurity, isolation, enmity, and distrust.

Im sure many of you know these words really well. Maybe you were an outcast also.

As for my part, ive been living my school time for almost 8 years circling these words and this particular status.

You see, i think i dont need to tell you this. Being an outcast sucks.

Not just because you are ignored and in worst cases, getting assaulted, its also because when you do get into the center of attention, people will use as a temporary punching bag. You get hit multiple times, only to be tucked away, and for the next time, getting the same exact punches and kicks all over again. And that leads me to my next point.

Doing exact same things all over again, expecting the outcome to change. In short, insanity.

But what if we reverse that definition? To change up the actions, so that is not caused by us, but by others.

Exact same things being done to us all over again, expecting the outcome to change.

That definiton above briefly sums up my experience of me being an outcast. Reverse insanity.

Now, on to the song. The intro starts pretty powerfully, and the melody is dark, patterned and repetitive with subtle progessivity in notes, reflecting that circle of reverse insanity i was talking about, and uncertainty and fear of not knowing when,where, and how these destructive events will happen to you.

Then there is the breakdown, which reflects the attempts to break the chains, to rise up in the broken ladder of hierharcy to become accepted by the cruel society you live in. By the time the piano kicks in, you realize that it is not an easy task, the post breakdown is still powerful, but becomes patterned again.

The second verse is back into the insanity, thinking that all the struggles, all the deeds you done to be recognized are gone, and basically unnoticed by everything, and everyone.

However, in the outro, that changes...

Being an outcast is like being a pray in a forest, while being ambushed by dozens of armed hunters. However, one thing they dont know, is the forest itself. You can run, and you can hide.

Even if you are not accepted, and basically theatened by society for things that you are not guilty of, just remember that the path you are taking in life can lead you to times, places, and experiences that the ones that are only chasing you will not even know how to step and walk on it. You dont even need to lay traps for them, because they have already done that for themselves.

Thank you for listening to this piece, and see you on the top.
