There is a moment in life when we see clearly all the arteries that the body of life is made of: millions of roads, millions of wasted opportunities, compromises and choices, victories and bets.
This is life, branching off in countless directions, driven forward by a river of energy that never stops. Once you choose your road, you have to deal with its twists and turns.
Then, there is a second moment in life when you realise that you are alone in this choice. You reach a crossroads with your life’s baggage accompanying you; your failures and gratifications, your unexplained or rational circumstances, your expectations and certainties.
Frozen to myself
I got nobody on my side
And surely that ain’t right
What happened before that moment doesn’t matter anymore. No one can see. You are alone, rival and ally of yourself, victim and executioner of wrong choices, benefactor and beneficiary of your success.
Oh, can’t anybody see
We’ve got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say
Storm, in the morning light
I feel
No more can I say
Frozen to myself
Frozen, petrified, the singer tells us of the awareness of her inevitable and necessary solitude, and that loneliness that soon or later arrives in the life of everyone. It’s a sign of growth, not just a condition. It’s the moment when you choose your road, and let it become your own.
The song is Gibbons’ battle cry. The moment when she recognises that she is alone and she’s ready to go on and become invincible, for herself and for others.
This is the moment in life when she discovers her road.
How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong
