Background: This song captures the later stage of my career when I ascended to an executive role, embracing increasingly significant responsibilities each year. It was a period marked by intense stress. I found myself integral to a larger corporate mechanism, where performing my role effectively was crucial for its overall success. My colleagues depended on me, and I exerted myself to fulfill my obligations. The demands of the job were overwhelming, gradually consuming me.

Inspiration: I was inspired by the song “Chalk Outline” by Three Days Grace.
