Aria’s Shard of Ice: Thoughts on Life
This song captures exactly how I feel right now. That’s life: sometimes you have to part ways to become better, to find your own road, to look around and understand:
What are you worth?
What can you do on your own?
Did someone really stand in the way of your goals, or were those just excuses you made for yourself?
I heard the song, and everything became simpler and clearer. This is life, and life is full of good and bad moments: without the bad, everything would be ordinary, and we wouldn’t value the good.
I’m not saying you should want things to go badly just so you can feel good later. Any hardship is a reason to overcome it, and only then do you start to value what you have now and what you’ll get (earn, achieve) in the future.
Better a heart like a shard of ice — ice can be melted, and a heart can be brought back to life by real love — than nerves, suicide, drinking and degradation!
“Oskolok Lda” (“Shard of Ice”) is a song by the Russian heavy metal band Aria from the album Khimera (“Chimera”, 2001), with music by Vitaly Dubinin and lyrics by Margarita Pushkina. Here is the official video:
I never did learn to play the guitar, but I hope it’s never too late and there will still be the time, energy and desire.
For now, let’s just listen and sing along, and may it make things a little easier. Besides the bad, there’s so much good in life that we have yet to see and feel!
P.S. This came out a bit muddled, but I wrote what I think and feel, without any filters.
