Analysis of Saša Milivojev - LABYRINTH

Saša Milivojev 1986 (Serbia)



I run
Everything looks the same
Grey
Disquieting
Still breathing
Corridor after corridor
I shout
Evading the shadow
Cold
Brightness sucked in by the fog
I move towards the light
To catch its end
I hear a voice calling
I look at the clock
Time playing with me
At each corridor entrance
I decode the number
I will die
Sweat dripping
They loved me
They locked me in the labyrinth
My strength is almost spent
My soul is leaving
You will find me
There at the end
Through brightness into infinity
