"The Silver Salute is the fanfare of the solitary journey that commences. The harmony in anticipation of hope and pride, both tools to light the path through. The more I live, the more I inhabit realism. I have as much hope as I have doubt. Together, they spawn a tempest in the decisions I make and the person I wish to become. This is a celebration of ambition and of a final self-acceptance."
Theme: Know your own self; know your own journey.
lyrics
Gather all the paint and all the
Praise that you can find,
And light the dark,
Cornerstones and microtones,
It's filling up, I'm feeling it,
At the start,
Wait for it, due now,
Wait for it, any second now,
Cleverly, embroidery,
Emblazoned on the wall,
One long work of art,
Gather all the lanterns,
And the streetlights combined,
To fuck up the dark and
Wait for it, due now,
Wait for it, any second now,
Show them what you've done,
Now the dark is gone.
