Passive MJ

We rode the Ferris wheel together We ate streetfoods with laughter We tried the different coasters And we spent the night as lovers. We shoot the darts on targets We guessed the right number on a bet We spin the huge roulette

We danced by the streets 'til dawn We sang our voices with every song Yet, you also didn't stay for too long After the carnival, you left me alone.

Carnival

The Seagull

Life is composed of the light and dark side of our true self. Sufferings are unavoidable and there are some points in our life that made us broken, to be in pain, breakdowns and regrets. We learned to conceal our self-identity and disguise our intentions and actions like how our sorrows turned into sweet smiles and fake happiness. Some use it in order to be brave enough and survive but others kept on using it because they are not that brave to face everything. Hence, the cover tells us that we should be willing to embrace our sufferings, acceptance of our true self, and moving on from the hurtful past. By then, our self would be truly free from certain things that made us coward and weak– truthful emotions and genuine love for self and for others would prevail.
