All those who've been in love
The lyrics consists of mini stories of people and at the end how we all share the exact stories.
My concept of the lyric video is letting Latifa stay and watch those people while their shadows passing in front of her acting the mini stories that she is singing about.
One of those stories I used is a tribute to my late father, i was actually collapsing everytime while I was working on that specific part and that's why it's not as smooth as it should be.
Watch the lyric video on Latifa's official YouTube channel (Make sure to press the CC button to turn on the English subtitles)
Eventually I decided to re-use the design for QAFNOTKAF.com wearables and more for documentation, I was inspired by it to write something (in Arabic then re-write it in English) about how all human feelings are the same.

[Re-writing in English below]
يَعتَقِدونَ بأنَّهُم كُل الوُجود...
و مُلِمُّونَ بكلِّ شئ دونَ قُيود...
و لَيسَ لجنونِ عَظَمَتِهم حُدود...
هؤلاء لا يَرَونَ بأنَّكَ مساوٍ لهم...
فلن يَتَفَكَّروا بما قُلتَ أنت...
و لا حتّى سيَتَفَقَّهون...
صُمٌّ...بُكمٌّ...عُميٌّ... فلا تُجادلهم بالتّي هِي أحسن...
لن يأخذوا شَيئًا مِنك و لن يُعطوك و لن يعطونْ...
يَخرُجُ لَكَ من أفواهِهِم ما لا يَخرُجُ من أفواهِ المجارير...
لأنَّهم بِفِكرِهم مُفلِسون...
فنحنُ جَميعُنا مُتَشابِهون...
و كلنا بالنهايةِ راحلِون...
و سَنُدفَنُ بِذاتِ الكَوْن...
هم لن يستفيدوا هناك مِنْ مَنْ كانوا و هم أحياء...
هذا إن كانوا بالأساس شيئاً غير ماء و طين...
أما أنت...
لن تُفيدُك هناك اللحظات التي ضيعتها رداً عليهم
فعِش بِصَمتِك مُتَبَسِّماً هَنيئاً لَكَ هُنا و هانِئاً هُناك
They think that they are the whole existence...
That they have infinite knowledge...
And there is no limits to their ego...
Those don't see you as an equal to them...
They wouldn't consider taking anything you say into account...
They wouldn't even bother to think of your point of view...
They are muted...Speechless...Blind...
Don't bother trying to explain your self to them...
They will take you seriously...
They will give you nothing...
They will give me nothing either...
Whatever comes out of their mouths is worst than what could come out of manholes...
Because they don't even have the minimum amount of a brain...
We are all the same... In the end we are all leaving it here...
And we will be buried in the exact universe in some form...
It doesn't matter over there who they were in this life...
Where they were nothing more than water and star dust..
And you...
You'd be wasting your life trying to change them here...
So live your life now happily here...
And smiling while you are over there!
