// About //
When you’re a child, in college, you’re promised you can be who you want to be, life will be a big festival and a job will be your passion project ofcourse, not a job… Obviously, life happens, and you realise it's "not what you expected". Both the video, music and lyrics try to bring out this frustration with routine, anxiety, burnout from work, stress and just sometimes the boredom of life and everything is not as you've planned it.. not as they told you way back when you were a child..! Singer Fallon Nieves delivers a great vocal performance, combining both the timing, the "je m’en fous" attitude mixed with that little bit of anger is not easy to pull of, and I think she did great to give it the feeling the track needed for the theme.

// Lyrics //
This is not what I expected, monotone days, always the same
This is not what I imagined, an average life for an average me
Obliged, but it's not what I wanted, routine's a drag, a silent killer
This is not who I am, a creative mind burned over time

This is not what I expected, chasing foreign dreams, society affected
This is not what I expected, what I imagined, working days, minimum wage
Compulsory, paying bills, bureacracy
This is not how I planned it,
This rotten system burned a hole in my dreams
