Personal Relation
I don't relate to how the song is written but by how I perceived it when I first really listened to it.
When Pantheon came out, I was lost in a dark place, both mentally and physically. By the time the fall of
2024 had rolled around I had already saved myself physically and I don't know what did it but I finally was
able to "wake up" out of my depression.
Now, I am playing catch up on a life I never thought I could have. Just like David Kim, I want people to know
I exist. Even if it is just a classroom on a Wednesday, even if it is just the kindergarteners, or even if it
is just me. I want to know I am Alive.
I promise if you watch the show it'll make alot more sense.
