True courage is to choose.

Not everything in life we have to keep playing. Sometimes stopping playing can be real courage.

Seesaw is a song that says that not everything in life we have to keep playing. Sometimes stopping playing can be real courage.

Some relationship or something in life.

We may try to be exhausted, like a downed stick swinging up and down endlessly. The more we drag, the more tired both sides before everything falls apart. Then will we have to wait until that day? And when is it? When we decide to choose our lives, why wait?

This seesaw, up and down, endlessly.

I'll finally get off...

And walk away on my own two feet.

Getting off Seesaw is not an escape.

But it's the choice of "self-healing" rather than being on a cycle that doesn't make us happy.
