HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK #316 - I KNOW WHAT'S COMING - MY FUTURE BY MARIFLAUTACUBANA

Hello Hive Open Mic friends, I'm Mariflautacubana and I'm here to participate with you this week. I'm bringing you a beautiful song by singer-songwriter Billie Eilish, which I'm sure many of you know. It's called "My Future," and I think it fits perfectly with this week's theme, plus I love it! 🥰 I hope you enjoy it!

This ballad is a journey of self-love and self-discovery. Its lyrics reveal an intimate conversation the singer has with herself, expressing her decision to focus on her future. It resonates deeply with me, as for a long time I've felt incapable of achieving my goals in life, insecure and afraid of not realizing my dreams. I think many will identify with me, but with this song, I bring a message to encourage us not to lose heart and to keep moving forward. Life throws obstacles in our path, but despite them, we must stand firm and pursue our purpose, not letting anything or anyone take away what we so deeply desire. Therefore, today, I know what lies ahead for me: a future filled with love, security, freedom, fulfilled goals and dreams. And I hope it will be the same for you.

This song offers a minimalist and ethereal atmosphere, yet I believe its message will be clear to everyone who listens to and interprets it. Here are the lyrics, so you can understand and appreciate what I've shared✨️.

LYRICS
I can't seem to focus
And you don't seem to notice
I'm not here
I'm just a mirror
You check your complexion
To find your reflection's all alone
I had to go
Can't you hear me?
I'm not comin' home
Do you understand?
I've changed my plans

'Cause I, I'm in love
With my future
Can't wait to meet her
And I (I), I'm in love
But not with anybody else
Just wanna get to know myself

I know supposedly I'm lonely now (Lonely now)
Know I'm supposed to be unhappy
Without someone (Someone)
But aren't I someone? (Aren't I someone? Yeah)
I'd (I'd) like to be your answer (Be your answer)
'Cause you're so handsome (You're so handsome)
But I know better
Than to drive you home
'Cause you'd invite me in
And I'd be yours again

But I (I), I'm in love (Love, love, love, love)
With my future
And you don't know her
And I, I'm in love (Love, love)
But not with anybody here
I'll see you in a couple years

Hola amigos del Hive Open Mic, yo soy Mariflautacubana y estoy aquí para participar con ustedes esta semana. Les traigo una canción muy hermosa de la cantautora Billie Eilish, y que estoy segura de que muchos la conocen por aquí, se trata de My future, creo que combinaba muy bien con la temática de esta semana, y además me encanta🥰. Espero la disfruten!!!

Esta balada, es todo un viaje de amor propio y autodescubriemiento. Su letra nos revela una conversación íntima de quien la interpreta consigo misma, donde expresa su desición de enfocarse en su futuro, y me representa mucho, pues por mucho tiempo me he sentido incapás de lograr mis objetivos en la vida, insegura y con miedo de no lograr mis sueños, y creo que muchos se identificarán conmigo, pero con esta canción traigo un mensaje para que no nos desanimemos, y para que sigamos adelante, porque la vida nos pone trabas y obstáculos, pero a pesar de ellos debemos pararnos firmes y seguir con nuestro propósito, y no dejar que nada ni nadie nos arrebate lo que tanto queremos. Por ello, hoy, ya sé lo que se avecina para mi. Un futuro lleno de amor, de seguridad, de libertad, de metas y sueños realizados, y espero que para ti también lo sea.

Esta canción nos brinda una atmósfera minimalista y etérea, pero aún así, creo que su mensaje quedará claro para cada uno de los que la escuchen y la interpreten. Por aquí les dejo su letra, para que puedan entender y apreciar lo que les he comentado✨️
