Life is strange, isn’t it? One person sits in a corner of a hospital, waiting for her mother to pass away in the intensive care unit. Another finds the strength to end their toxic marriage in a single court session. Someone else embarks on a train journey where all emotions are experienced simultaneously.
Could it be that what they all desire is the same? Perhaps, at the core, what they truly seek is peace. The song playing in the background reminds them of that day, a song that opens its doors to anyone wanting to cry. It embraces and brings tears by encompassing all emotions.
They were afraid, and I believe they still are. But they possess a power. A power that can overcome anything, it just needs to emerge. It surfaces each time they fall, lose their way, face loneliness, and mature. It’s the power of being a woman, emerging from the moment they enter this world, regardless of age.
The song ends when one person is still in the hospital corner, waiting for their mother to pass away in intensive care. Another has divorced in one swift move and can now roll up their sleeves to pursue the life she desires, unburdened by those who once said, “you can’t do that.” Someone else continues their journey on a train where all emotions coexist. I guess all the emotions are not on the train; they reside within it.
In other words, it will never stop until it resolves what’s inside, regardless of where the train comes to a halt.
