A town in the dead of night.
   We see lots of street lights of different color and intensity.
   Blinded by their attractiveness, we follow them.
Getting closer and closer to them they seem to be the biggest and most important things in the world, like they're going to continue illuminating us for all ethernity promising us protection from the otherwise overwhelming darkness around us.
After a while we start to realize that we have actually been here before, we have actually seen this before.
We have been going around in circles.
The lights start getting weaker and weaker until at one moment they die out completely.
Being emmersed once again in full darkness, we turn our head to the sky in dispair and notice the crescent, which we had until now ignored, because it had seemed the smallest, furthest and most insignificant thing of all those lights, which we could touch and get close to.
The moon keeps on shining with a gentle, but steady light, being the only thing left in the darkness.
Only then do we realize what cheap copies the other lights were and to what extent we had limited ourselves.
We start thinking how to get to there, we start dreaming.
   We wish to get higher and higher, guided by that one and only light up there.
   We now start our journey, turning our previous trajectory from a downward spiral to an upward line.
   We now start our life, transforming from a living deadman to a living being...
