Time in Disguise

As the good analogy-lover that I am, for me this is the most pandemic track – even though I know it was made long before all of this. The first color that came to my mind was green, and I soon associated it with the forest. The chorus invites us to close our eyes and say what we see: “is it a man or masked machine?” Following rules against the infinite time of endless days (as long as it sounds), in between our shadows and fears. Seeing so closely the most intrinsic details of this never-before-experienced existence brought us close to overflowing. Under the mask of our solitude, we discover that loneliness is more painful. And so we’ve worn this disguise for so long that going back to the old path seems scary. Over those long days we had the opportunity to know ourselves on a deeper level and now we have to find our way back. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel though. I’ve always heard that the color green is the color of hope anyway.
