What does it mean to love, and to be loved?

"Salvation" written by Clarisa Rebecca Winata, read by Karen Olivia.

Read the full version here:
Your affectionate hands caressed the heads of your beloveds
The soft comforting whispers from your mouth calmed
All the toil and turmoil which raged inside our hearts
Or at least that's what I thought it was
For it was my own hand which caressed my head
And it was my own voice which calmed the toil and turmoil
Those around me seem to feel your everlasting love
Firmly believing it was you, you, and only you
They keep telling me your love is universal and unconditional
But it seems as if your love only penetrates the hearts of a few
That particular notion refuses to leave my mind
In the midst of voices talking about your universal love
There are faint yet firm whispers being drowned in the noise
Whispers of the forgotten truth, maybe your love is not so universal at all
If it were true, then I had been deceiving myself like a fool
My hand, was it yours? It was mine all along
My voice, was it yours? It was mine all along
Your love has never penetrated my heart
Whether it's because I'm not worthy to be loved
Or because I haven't softened my heart enough for your love to get through
I don't care, I am done
Your love is not for me
There's no more reason for me to stay

"Freedom" written by Clarisa Rebecca Winata, read by Karen Olivia.

Read the full version here:

Long enough was I imprisoned by the so-called saints
I sought for a way out, yet the shackles held me back
My eyes glanced around the room, searching for a light
A light that could help me make out the pitch-black darkness
Penetrating deep into my skin, the shackles dug through my veins
Yet somehow it all became painless, as I finally figured it out
The shackles were only figments of my imagination
Deeply ingrained not into my skin, but into my consciousness
Nothing was real, it was then I found the liberty I had longed
Sweet liberty, how delightful it was to be a free being
Nevertheless, the memories still find a way to haunt me
To disrupt my peace, my stability, and my self steered sovereignty
I keep telling myself to ignore them, they're not real
But they keep on taunting me, day and night, all week long
It's starting to look like they might never fully go away
Thus I now try to spite them away, look at me, I'm free!
They no longer have any authority over me
I collect pieces of my freedom and cherish them deeply
Look at what I've done, and there's nothing they can do to stop me
Then again, who are they to waste my time and energy
Is it best to act as if they don't exist, even though none of them are actually real?
