Artists Who Stare

Artists who Stare

Vignette

There is a reckoning in the soul of every artist. It begins as a tremor, a flicker of light, almost imperceptible, yet relentless in hunger. That precise moment when the artist is alone, silhouetted against the radiance of an internal inferno and stares unflinchingly into their creative self. They dwell in the space between inspiration and doubt, bathed in the glow of possibilities and tormented by the fear of mediocrity.

To exceed the ordinary, the artist knows, is both a blessing and a curse. Each touch, each word, each act of creation becomes a paradox: an offering to eternity but rooted in the fleeting frailty of the present. What if they fail? What if the light within, so achingly bright, burns them to ash rather than illuminating their path?

Artists who Stare into their Creative Self

The act of creation is no longer a choice; it has become a necessity. There is no turning back. Like a lone figure before the furnace of their own making, the artist surrenders to the fire. They cannot know whether their work will endure echo through time or vanish in obscurity. But in that surrender, they experience transformation. The act of creation is raw, searing, and relentless. It has its meaning. Not a strive for triumph. But a continual contest of legacy.

This is the torment and glory of creation: a dance with fear, a defiance of the ordinary. The artist emerges from the crucible, changed yet unchanged, armed with the unshakable resolve that striving is transcendent. For in staring into the abyss of their creative self, they come to a profound realisation. They are not merely seeking something enduring or meaningful. They are in the act of becoming it.

Artists who Stare into their Creative Self to the End

Artists who Stare into their Creative Self Lyrics

(Verse 1)

A moth moves toward the flame

Not in ignorance

But in knowing

It seeks the burn

The searing truth

A baptism of ash and ember

This is not destruction

It is the becoming

(Chorus)

The fire consumes

The fire reveals

Am I the flame, or the moth

Am I the flight, or the fall

Each spark sings

Each ember weeps

And still, I enter

(Bridge)

The light fractures my wings

They scatter like whispers

Unwritten verses

Unfinished portraits

Every line is a scar

Every shadow, a truth

I dissolve to create

I burn to exist

(Chorus - Repeated)

The fire consumes

The fire reveals

Am I the flame, or the moth

Am I the flight, or the fall

Each spark sings

Each ember weeps

And still, I enter

(Verse 2)

The circle spins endlessly

Radiance pulls me closer

Not as a trap,

But a promise

To know the fire

To enter its core

Is not to die

But to shed the weight of fear

(Outro)

The moth whispers

"I am the fire

I am the ash

I am the shadow that remains

Over and over

The flame repeats

"You are here to burn

You are here to see

You are here to become

You are here to become
