This is an English song set against the background of how hard it is to find a job in China today. The unemployment rate is high, and competition is intense. On recruiting websites, most jobs offer low pay but demand high KPIs. Many so-called “black companies” show little regard for labor laws—no weekends, no overtime pay.

Overwork, delayed wages, blank contracts—these have become common.

In the story of the song, the girl is hired for an SEO sales position. However, she is required to call 300 customers a day or accumulate over 60 minutes of talk time. That is the daily quota. For a normal person, this is almost impossible to endure. Yet, this has become a kind of norm in today’s business environment in China. The salary is low as well—barely enough to cover rent and meals. In the end, she hesitates, then refuses the offer, even though it is the first job she has received in the past two months.

I wrote this song in English and refined it with AI (just like this article). It feels much easier to express these themes in English than in Chinese. I know it would probably reach a wider audience in China if written in Chinese, but I’ll leave that for another time—if the right moment comes.

As for the song itself, it’s fine. But I’d say it’s also very common. If I were writing it in Chinese, I might approach it with a more perfectionist mindset. In English, though, it’s enough as long as it makes sense.

Tuning out of starlight

The innocent lifetime flickers and flashes

Onto a canvas

No, nobody seems worth it

And while the feeling's sophisticated

The view is so restrained

The past is nearing closer and closer I fear

So let's just cut the bullshit

And tell me who's independent

Thumbs twiddling and your life's escaping your mind

Keep in mind

Well the air ain't free as it used to be

But that's quite alright when you're still eighteen

It seems to be

And I'll tell you who's overrated

What's a beautiful person with some hideous dreams?

And while the lining isn't silver

We're verging on the side of the road that'll take us home

The edge of us is getting weighed

Read about your life in your local papers

Realize the end of us is getting near

You're just a droplet of paint trickled off your canvas

Delirious illusions flowing backwards through the river of color

While we analyze it to try see it clearer

Secretly appealing to a lonely prisoner

Now what's your vision?

Initiate your shading, blend the universe together in time

It only gets a little easier

Suddenly piece yourself back together now
