Way back in 1983, a German band released their debut album which contained a single that would eventually take the world by storm. The band Nena took its name from the nickname and stage name of their female lead vocalist. The song is “99 Luftballons” (English version: 99 Red Balloons) which became a #1 hit in West Germany by March of 1983 and went on to major international chart success the following year also reaching #1 in Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden and Switzerland. The German version even reached #2 in the United States in March of 1984.
The song tells the story of some children’s balloons floating in the sky that are mistakenly identified as a threat with the governments immediately putting their troops on red alert and then scrambling fighter jets to intercept the balloons, which ultimately triggers a nuclear war. In the apocalyptic aftermath, the song’s narrator stands in the rubble of the city and finds a single remaining balloon.
Lyrics:
You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one they were gone
Back at base bugs in the software
Flash the message "something's out there!" Floating in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine decision street
Ninety-nine ministers meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it, boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine knights of the air
Ride super high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a super hero
Everyone's a captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine dreams I have had In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standing pretty In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon I think of you, and let it go

I don't need any drug or escape from reality, I take life as it comes regardless how bad it is for me, I dealt with life head on, I have no fear for it. My life has been rough and tough, but because I found ways to either get away from the problems or resolve them, I had the opportunities to find myself travelling many parts of the world and learned that this world offers many opportunities. People just need to learn to explore the opportunities in this world, not just the immediate surrounding, not even just within the country but many other places on earth that can change anyone's life. Whining or numbing your brain to hide from reality is not the solution, you can find happiness and love by exploring other countries or places you have never thought of before. You can't stay stoned forever, but you can find love, peace and happiness if you keep a sober mind and get away from the setting that causes you problems.
