The pants of life

Ce pantalon parle de la vie. Tout commence au dos de celui-ci, tu es un nourrisson et viens de sortir du ventre de ta mère (matérialisé par la poche cousue), immédiatement les serpents sont autour de toi et tentent de t'attaquer, ils te critiquent donc tu doutes ("Trouve juste un travail normal/ Tu ne peux pas faire ça"). Certaines personnes ont tout de même de bonnes intentions envers toi (c'est le cas du léopard qui donne des conseils), tu te poses des questions sur comment être toi-même, qui être, sur ce que tu aimes et veux vraiment au fond de toi-même. Tu commences donc à t'émanciper, à grandir et découvrir la vie. Tu es un jeune adolescent maintenant et passe du temps avec ceux qui ont les mêmes centres d'intérêts que toi (dessin en bas à gauche). La prochaine étape est la première, le but est de monter l'échelle, cela est uniquement possible si tu suis ton coeur sans te soucier des autres et de leur avis, cela implique obligatoirement des passages par des périodes de souffrance temporaire, ("J'ai une douleur dans la poitrine/ Je n'arrive pas à dormir"). Le but ultime de la vie est d'avoir accès au deuxième palier, accéder à cette dernière poche (en haut à gauche), le chemin y est dangereux et étroit, seulement 3 bouts de tissus font la liaison, la bonté est la clé. Dans cette dernière poche, les formes y sont semi intelligibles, les anges y vivent, la musique ne cesse jamais, la philosophie et l'amour sont de rigueur. Voici le message de ce pantalon.
