confines

This series is a reflection on keeping the mind grounded and peaceful during difficult times, while still holding on to your dreams,

Confines by the Black Pumas is the inspiration. "The initial inspiration behind the message of Confines comes from the true origin and meaning of the old school nursery rhyme 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat,'" according to singer Eric Burton. "It is a reminder to remain equanimous in life during trials and tribulations while also not being afraid to have dreams.

Some of the lyrics of Confines that inspired this series.

Life is just, life is keen
I put in work, do my thing
To keep me merrily on the scene

In life's confines I try
In life's confines I try to let my soul refine

But never mind how fast you go
We all shine then burn over
Like the stars in the night
So cast a dream and watch it glide

‘Cause in life's confines
We've got to let our souls refine

And if this light should burn out
May we carry on, child
Gently down the stream

In life's confines I try
In life's confines I try to let my soul refine
