"They call me the wanderer, yeah the wanderer...." What do you guys think of this analogy?
Using Lise's translation mostly.
6.1 "The wanderer is trivial and petty, chopping up his position and seizing calamities."
The young musician sees music as a competition, showing off his "chops", "head cutting," not collaborative or cooperative. He tries to get ahead by making others look bad in comparison, maybe trash talk etc.
6.2 "The wanderer comes to a resting-place, cherishes his belongings and acquires a boy-servant. Determination." He shacks up with his girlfriend and starts a band. He's more stable financially, happier personally, they are getting by and the band is determined to make it to the top.
6.3 "The troops burn their lodgings, lose their boy-servants. Determination danger."
They quit their day jobs, the band is ready to start touring, and go for it in a big way. Its a serious decision, some guys maybe quit the band, some give up their apartments, some of their girlfriends might break up with them over this.
6.4 "The wanderer is in a resting place and obtains his traveling-expenses. My heart is not pleased."
The band is at least breaking even. But misses his girl at home and the Holiday Inn sucks after a while.
6.5 "He shoots a pheasant, dead with one arrow. In the end praise and an assignment."
They are "killing it" every night, knocking them dead, booking more gigs, more press recognition, a recording contract...
6.6 "The bird burns its nest. The wandering people first laugh and afterwards cry. They lose their cattle at Yi. Pitfall." The band having achieved success, screws around with groupies and their wives and girlfriends leave them. Maybe they ditch their manager or the people who helped them succeed. This is going to cost them financially and emotionally.
