Don't hesitate to get back to what really matters. Get rid of things that are not essential. In someway, it's a song about rock and roll.

Rid of It
(Words by Paul van Dijk, Music by Eric Gracient & Paul van Dijk)
Outside it’s about the common things, while inside it feels wrong
The never-ending power game, instead of going strong
Close your laptop, save some power
Gain some power, save some power
Quit your chair, make an effort
Make an effort, face the world
Chase the devil, chase the gods
Find some new ones, chase the gods,
Fix your braincells, make an effort
Make an effort, face the stars, face the stars
Outside it’s about the common things, while inside it feels wrong
The never-ending power game, instead of going strong
Rock the Kasbah, clear the pipeline
Clear the pipeline, free your soul
Dust your broom, make an effort
Make an effort, break the chain
Chase the devil, chase the gods
Find some new ones, chase the gods,
Fix your braincells, make an effort
Make an effort, face the stars, face the stars
Break the chain
Break the chain
And use your brain
