Manila to Bangkok Interlude

The speaker, identifying as "the chosen one," contemplates love, questioning its essence and absence. They feel a sense of destiny, asserting they have the "recipe" for their path, even if it means facing challenges like standing in front of a train. Despite this conviction, they believe love will "never get here" or "no time soon." They mention a desire to "tell a friend about what I do" but anticipate never seeing her, again emphasizing "no time soon." The speaker acknowledges the music industry's fakeness but states a commitment to remain authentic, declaring, "I'm leaving no time soon." They suggest that if someone is looking for them, they are "usually in dark places." The themes of destiny, unrequited or delayed love, and steadfastness in a disingenuous industry are recurrent.
