“Coming from outside
Going in”
Means all decisions I undertook without questioning
Whether they are right or wrong
“Coming from nowhere
Going on”
…The relation to the origin is already lost
“Getting some special
Advices, Know How”
…I do what is wanted that I do
“Coming from high
Going low”
…The wings are cut
“Lost my identity
Lost my memories
Can’t find my way back home”
This process goes “step by step”, imperceptively
because often there are very attracting aims like success,
recognitions and to be loved.
