lullaby

Description

A lullaby is the ultimate psychological duel in the dead of night, a strategic song sung under the guise of lulling an infant but truly bought for a few precious moments of parental peace. The soft melody is nothing more than self-indulgence that sublimates a caregiver’s fatigue. Faced with an unsleeping baby, even the voice trembles and the tune morphs into something resembling a horror film score. In the end, the parent realizes their own despair has been etched into the lullaby more deeply than the child’s dreams.
