It's another wonderful and competitive week of vibes with a lot of amazing entries. For this week 12, I'll be doing a song cover by Duncan Laurence titled Arcade. The first time I listened to this song was a few years ago on " The Voice" and I instantly felt like it was speaking to me.
Although it's an old song, I want to try to revive that feeling I had when I first heard it on "The Voice".
The song uses an arcade as a metaphor to describe a broken heart and a pointless relationship.
"I've spent all of the love I saved
We were always a losing game"
This is my favorite line in the song as it delves into the deep and dark parts of relationships where one is left with no love to give and gives up eventually and finally admits to his/herself that the love affair was never going to work, to begin with. One way or another we've all experienced this, maybe not with a lover but with a friend or family member.
The song could be interpreted in many ways and that's the beauty of the language called music. I want to share this experience with you for this week and I hope that you connect with it as much as I did and still do.

Lyrics
A broken heart is all that's left
I'm still fixing all the cracks
Lost a couple of pieces when
I carried it, carried it, carried it home
I'm afraid of all I am
My mind feels like a foreign land
Silence ringing inside my head
Please, carry me, carry me, carry me home
Thanks for watching
