Skyline

FKJ's song 'Skyline' is a poetic exploration of personal growth and the pursuit of one's dreams. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey, both literal and metaphorical, where the artist is navigating through life's challenges with a sense of purpose and determination. The opening lines, 'I’m in the right direction / I mean to ride this ocean,' suggest a sense of confidence and clarity in the path chosen, despite the slow and deliberate pace of progress ('Travelling in slow motion / Paddling with no question') which indicates a mindful and patient approach to achieving goals.

The imagery of the 'early morning with the sun / Not yet burning, innocent' evokes a sense of new beginnings and purity, reflecting the artist's desire to stay true to himself ('I try to be a good son / Myself one hundred per cent'). This authenticity is a recurring theme, as FKJ acknowledges the 'daily struggle to be true' in a world that often feels 'poisoned' and inauthentic. The 'endless troubles' and 'betrayed authenticity' mentioned in the lyrics highlight the external and internal conflicts faced while striving to maintain one's integrity and vision.

The repeated aspiration to reach the 'Skyline' symbolizes the ultimate goal or dream that FKJ is determined to achieve. The skyline, often seen as the boundary between the earth and the heavens, represents a place of aspiration and hope. The refrain 'I wanna reach that / Skyline' underscores a relentless pursuit of this ideal, despite the obstacles. The song's hopeful and resilient tone suggests that, with perseverance and self-belief, the artist is confident in eventually reaching this metaphorical horizon, embodying a universal message of hope and determination in the face of adversity.
