When in doubt, turn to Stephen Sondheim
The scenario I have in mind jogs my memory of 1987's Into The Woods. If you are no longer familiar with Into The Woods, the tale is essentially an exploration of human dissatisfaction with happily ever after endings.
In the following scene, The Baker, played by means of Chip Zien, confronts his father, a Rumpelstiltskin man or woman performed by using Tom Aldredge. The Baker were deserted with the aid of his father when the Baker become a small boy. He runs into his father as he is walking far from his own family and responsibilities.
I'd cut this video clip right down to the meaty element I'm after if I ought to, however unluckily I need to run the entire 4 minute clip. The properly stuff begins at 1:fifty two. Here are the lyrics in case you're within the temper to comply with alongside.
Running away- let's do it,
Free from the binds that bind.
No more depression
Or burdens to bear
Out there inside the yonder.
Running away- visit it.
Where did you have in thoughts?
Have to take care:
Unless there's a "wherein,"
You'll most effective be wandering blind.
Just greater questions.
Different type.
Where are we to move?
Where are we ever to move?
Running away- we will do it.
Why take a seat around, resigned?
Trouble is, son,
The farther you run,
The extra you feel undefined
For what you have left undone
And, greater, what you've got left behind.
We disappoint,
We depart a mess,
We die however we don't...
We disappoint
In turn, I bet.
Forget, even though, we won't...
