The song’s core message revolves around the idea that perception is a powerful tool for navigating life’s inevitable changes, losses, and conflicts. It portrays failure and loss as opportunities for growth and emphasizes the mind’s ability to shape meaning and reality. The recurring motif of motion and impermanence (“The universe is motion, it all will fade”) contrasts with the empowering assertion that one’s thoughts can create a meaningful world.

Destiny in Perception

Winnipeg composer, retired from the farm, still chasing meaning in melody. My work lives where TV cues meet YouTube soundscapes, with a few albums in between. Built in Mixcraft Pro, fuelled by late-night coffee, stubborn curiosity, and a Stoic’s sense of timing. Also writing on politics, history, and philosophy, because sound isn’t my only instrument.
