Ahmed Mekky - Atr El Hayah / أحمد مكي - قطر الحياة Ahmed Mekky - Train of Life

  • 1:07 - 1:10
    With every hour my life flows by
  • 1:10 - 1:13
    People and the world change, even the iron rusts
  • 1:13 - 1:19
    and I'm the only one standing still. Some people choose a way and succeeded; others choose a way and failed
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    It's a hard and cruel feeling that people sees you as a loser
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    you father, mother, brothers, and friends see you as an unemployed
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    "Get up son and try"
  • 1:27 - 1:28
    "I swear I've tried"
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    I've tried a lot and before I score the GOAL, I get a FOUL
  • 1:31 - 1:37
    I have no skills, or even favors, and I’m screwed. And I pushed the gas pedal to the max (meaning. bushed myself beyond my limits)
  • 1:37 - 1:43
    In every job interview I was told to turn around, with my certifications and get lost
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    I made a flashback and calculated how old am I, i found out I was 30
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    I repeated once, twice and thrice my calculations and was shocked
  • 1:49 - 1:52
    I looked in the mirror, i saw alot of white hair
  • 1:52 - 1:55
    and my father is still the breadwinner of the house
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    I'm treated by my family like a burden
  • 1:57 - 2:01
    my self-esteem is gone, success is now impossible
  • 2:01 - 2:04
    I wish i could run away from my self, my status, my family, and from life
  • 2:04 - 2:07
    wish i could escape to another life even for one second
  • 2:07 - 2:10
    And one day, my friend showed me the way
  • 2:10 - 2:13
    since that is what friend are for
  • 2:13 - 2:16
    he told me there is a nice gathering tonight
  • 2:16 - 2:18
    I asked him hash (type of drugs), he laughed and said bissa (another type), I said I'll be addicted
  • 2:18 - 2:22
    He said "don't worry you cant be an addict from the first shot
  • 2:22 - 2:25
    he convinced me, and that night I did my first shot
  • 2:25 - 2:27
    my joints relaxed and I couldn't feel myself
  • 2:27 - 2:31
    Speaking to my self from inside, yet being silent from outside
  • 2:31 - 2:33
    all my worries are gone, my vision is blurry
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    Every problem I've had in life died and vanished
  • 2:37 - 2:40
    hours went by like seconds, and I found my friends leaving
  • 2:40 - 2:43
    I entered my home at dawn, and my family were already sleeping.
  • 2:43 - 2:46
    Buried myself under the blanket and my body was freezing
  • 2:46 - 2:49
    slept in less than a second, like I was under sedation
  • 2:49 - 2:52
    life train is flying by fast. year after year after year
  • 2:52 - 2:55
    and I'm still the same as I were when I was 1 year old
  • 2:55 - 3:01
    it's the same life, it's the same "me". I'm bored of life, you can say I'm fed up with it.
  • 3:01 - 3:04
    i woke up again to the disgusting reality
  • 3:04 - 3:07
    the day went by so slowly and felt like months or years
  • 3:07 - 3:10
    I wish the day ended fast so I can take yet another shot,
  • 3:10 - 3:13
    to be the king of my world and away from the world that turned its back on me
  • 3:13 - 3:16
    the invited me every day to do drugs with them
  • 3:16 - 3:19
    it's final, I entered that railway and my path is being drawn
  • 3:19 - 3:22
    one day my friend surprised me by saying "don't be a burden on me" straight to my face
  • 3:22 - 3:25
    "I don't have enough money for you and me to do drugs everyday"
  • 3:25 - 3:28
    "pay up or you will be banned from our nights"
  • 3:28 - 3:31
    "from today there is no free drugs, do you understand?"
  • 3:31 - 3:34
    I went home, and the next day at drug time my body felt electrified
  • 3:34 - 3:37
    my back feels like it's being whipped, and my nose is leaking
  • 3:37 - 3:40
    I need a dose, where can I get the money?,where can I get the money?
  • 3:40 - 3:43
    I started borrowing from everyone I know
  • 3:43 - 3:46
    I even took my siblings' private lessons money
  • 3:46 - 3:49
    everybody hates me and avoids me, I became a burden on them
  • 3:49 - 3:51
    50 pounds, another 50 pounds, and another 100
  • 3:51 - 3:54
    Stealing every day from my house, and everybody suspected me
  • 3:54 - 3:57
    I sold every present that I've ever got
  • 3:57 - 4:01
    Spent all my money, until I had a brilliant idea
  • 4:01 - 4:04
    my mother's gold, my sister's mobile, my brother's laptop
  • 4:04 - 4:07
    I stole them and attempted to escape,my father stopped me
  • 4:07 - 4:10
    he gripped me hard from the hand, and I pushed him
  • 4:10 - 4:13
    he hit the wall and looked at me,How did his son hurt him!!
  • 4:13 - 4:16
    he got angry, took every thing from me, and locked the door
  • 4:16 - 4:19
    that's when I asked for the strangest thing
  • 4:19 - 4:22
    "Give me money now, or I'll commit a crime"
  • 4:22 - 4:25
    he accused me of craziness and swore on me
  • 4:25 - 4:28
    all the room doors are opening, and my family are watching
  • 4:28 - 4:31
    still trying to figure out whether we are serious or just missing around
  • 4:31 - 4:34
    I dragged my 3 year old niece towards the window
  • 4:34 - 4:37
    "Give me money or I'll throw her out" Suddenly the tension increased
  • 4:37 - 4:39
    my mother cried her heart out, and I calmed down for seconds
  • 4:39 - 4:43
    she threw me money and screamed "I never want to see your face again"
  • 4:43 - 4:46
    "Get out, I'm not your mother anymore, you are worse than the devil"
  • 4:46 - 4:49
    I took the money and left, and I knew I'll never come back.
  • 4:49 - 4:52
    life train is flying by fast. year after year after year
  • 4:52 - 4:55
    and I'm still the same as I were when I was 1 year old
  • 4:55 - 5:00
    it's the same life, it's the same "me". I'm bored of life, you can say I'm fed up with it.
  • 5:01 - 5:03
    I lost all my family and friends, now I'm alone
  • 5:03 - 5:07
    and How do I get money, I have to find another way
  • 5:07 - 5:10
    Suddenly I remembered a neighbor of mine, who has been living alone all his life
  • 5:10 - 5:13
    His father is working outside Egypt and sending him money every month
  • 5:13 - 5:16
    I drew him to the same road, exactly like it happened to me
  • 5:16 - 5:19
    I found another source of money, a home, and a friend
  • 5:19 - 5:22
    doing drugs together in his house, where no one can see us
  • 5:22 - 5:25
    All his father's life savings were lost in 4 months
  • 5:25 - 5:28
    and one night, he recieved a shocking phone call
  • 5:28 - 5:31
    His father knew that his son is stealing from him, and he ended up in the ICU
  • 5:31 - 5:35
    all my nerves tensioned, I increased the dose
  • 5:35 - 5:37
    the usual dose is no loger effective
  • 5:37 - 5:40
    My life flashed before my eyes, nothing good in it
  • 5:40 - 5:43
    I pushed more poison in my viens and increased the dose even more
  • 5:43 - 5:46
    I wish I would die, get rid of this life, and evaporate like water
  • 5:46 - 5:49
    I increased the dose even more, and my body turned yellow
  • 5:49 - 5:52
    my friend freaked out "why are u yellow man"
  • 5:52 - 5:55
    "your body is sweating and u r shaking as if a snake has snake bit you"
  • 5:55 - 5:58
    and despite of the sweating, my body was freezing, and it really hurt
  • 5:58 - 6:01
    I freaked out, tried to stand up, but my body hit the floor hard
  • 6:01 - 6:07
    my body is refusing every order from me, there is no strength left
  • 6:07 - 6:10
    everything is dimming slowly until it's black
  • 6:10 - 6:12
    the last scene of my life was a tragedy
  • 6:12 - 6:13
    my friend is horrified and watching me dying
  • 6:13 - 6:16
    life train is flying by fast. year after year after year
  • 6:16 - 6:19
    and I'm still the same as I were when I was 1 year old
  • 6:19 - 6:25
    it's the same life, it's the same "me". I'm bored of life, you can say I'm fed up with it.
  • 6:25 - 6:26
    my life ended fast
  • 6:26 - 6:31
    I searched my life, but I didn't find anything good I did to be mentioned
  • 6:31 - 6:37
    I lost all my life, I regret every dark moment I've ever lived
  • 6:37 - 6:41
    OH GOD give me another chance to go back to life
  • 6:41 - 6:43
    I'll walk the right path to the end
  • 6:43 - 6:46
    It's really hard thing that you disappear from the world
  • 6:46 - 6:50
    and nobody remembers you for anything
