Song of the day>>> Inspiration On Demand by Shadows fall

If you are looking for a song about depression that will not make you depressed, then this song should cut it.

I can vividly remember back then in 2009 listening to this song for the first time during my university days with my friend in his room.

The Lyric:

The music really impressive with a mix of Metallica and Trivium element. The best part for me is the chorus part. Although the lyrics are short but it is very impactful with the way the delivered the song. This is how the lyric sounds.

Where has it all gone?
Have all of the words escaped?

Inspiration on demand
Emotions all displaced

'And I will wander endlessly
Seeking all the answers that I let slip
through my fingers.
I will wander endlessly
Seeking all the answers that
I let slip and fall away.'

Turn it all around
It melts into sound
(unfolding... ever growing)

Torn from my rest
Though I still fight to stay.
The images dissolve
As the day invades

A second to react
The mind too slow to act
(Unfolding... ever growing)

Drown the voices of restraint
Make them choke to silence

Incinerate the ropes
And embrace the hope
(Unfolding... ever growing)

Splintering the doors
Free the mind to soar
(Unfolding... ever growing)

Turn it all around
It melts into sound

My interpretation:

I believe this song is about finding your inner power while struggling to achieve success at the same time. The power that I mean can be your creativity, your passion, your talent, your intelligent based on what is your definition of your inner power.

Uniquely, this song tells us about channelling all the negative stuff happens within your environment and convert it into inspiration. In this song, the inspiration is turned to sound or music, hence explains the title of the song from the band's perspective.

Motivation derived from this song:

When you are in the state of depression, you get a mixed feeling and it's quite messy and worse you cannot explain how you feel but you know something is wrong with you. You will refuse to accept your reality and find a reason for being alive. Instead of surrendering, you need to bring out your inner power or something that you good at and bring out your negativity via that channel.

For Example, your inner talent might be drawing although you are not an artist. As long you can pour out all the negative stuff happening around you then you will be fine.

That way you can break free from the state of depression or sadness and move on to a happier life because life goes on whether you like it or not.

Enjoy the song:
