For this week’s Music Challenge, I’ve chosen a song called “This is Not the End” by the singer MILCK. I don’t know much about her, but you can read more about her in the article, “MILCK Releases Powerful New Song.” I’ve often found myself thinking of her lyrics.
We think of every new year to be the end, but perhaps, it’s better to think of it as a new beginning. We don’t lose ourselves from the ‘old year,’ but each day we can rebuild despite trouble or heartache. As people we grow, we change, and we can learn. Trouble is a constant, but no matter how bad it gets: “This too Shall Pass.”
“This is Not the End” by MILCK
Use “This Is Not the End” sung by MILCK Korea’s as inspiration to any form of creative expression (including but not limited to short stories, poems, lyrics, artwork, photography, (etc.). Alternatively, if you are a musician, use this as an opportunity to showcase your own work.
What do the lyrics inspire in you? Do you feel uplifted to try again tomorrow? Does it help you reach past feelings of finality to strive on despicable difficulty? You can always use pieces of the lyrics to inspire you. Any creative form goes. And you don’t have to be direct or explicit if the nature of your piece is too personal.
Lyrics: “This is Not the End” by MILCK

“This Is Not The End”
*****
This is not the end
This is not the end
Trouble will come, trouble will go
This is not the end
The birds are circling, messing with my head
Oh, but I’m not running
I’m not running
Though their eyes are turning red
This is not the end
This is not the end
Trouble will come, trouble will go
This is not the end
I will look them in the eye, will not be the beast that hides
I will hunt my hunters down, take back my broken crown
I will look them in the eye, will not be the beast that hides
I will hunt my hunters down
This is not the end
Trouble will not take me, yeah
It’s not the end (this is not the end)
It’s not over yet
I will fight for it (this is not the end)
‘Til my dying breath
It’s not the end (this is not the end)
It’s not over yet
I will fight for it (this is not the end)
‘Til my dying breath
