Tea Leaves
Echoes of Transience: Alex Siegel's Tea Leaves Unveiled
Lyrics
Been working on it slowly
Expressing a gradual effort in a task or goal.
Hopeless but I’m hoping
Feeling without hope but maintaining optimism.
Wonder where will I be
Contemplating the future and one's destiny.
When my life begins
Pondering the starting point of a meaningful life.
A temporary ID
Referring to a provisional identity document.
Remember where you saw me
Encouraging to recall where a connection or recognition occurred.
Burn it on a CD
Suggesting a nostalgic act of saving memories on a CD.
Feel a little lonely
Feeling a sense of isolation.
But those days are gone
Reflecting on a past period that is no longer present.
And I know we’ve come
Acknowledging progress from the past to the present.
A long way from home
Recognizing distance traveled away from the place of origin.
It just hit me now
Realizing something impactful at the moment.
This could be our only go around
Contemplating the uniqueness of the current opportunity.
Read it in the tea leaves
Using the metaphor of reading tea leaves for foreseeing the future.
Wishing you could see me
Expressing a desire for recognition or visibility.
I really want to make you proud
Aspiring to achieve something noteworthy without pretense.
With nothing to disguise me
Seeking authenticity and transparency in one's self.
Not sleeping but it’s late now
Being awake late, possibly due to contemplation or concern.
Can’t face it till I’m face down
Unable to confront a situation until overwhelmed or defeated.
Faded just to fade out
Choosing to fade away or withdraw from a circumstance.
Fall until I find out
Falling or experiencing a decline until discovering the truth.
Those days are gone
Reiterating the irreversibility of past times.
I know we’ve come
Affirming the journey and progress made away from the starting point.
A long way from home
Recognizing distance traveled from one's place of origin.
It just hit me now
Realizing a significant revelation at the present moment.
This could be our only go around
Contemplating the uniqueness and singularity of the current opportunity.
Those days are gone
Reiterating the irreversible nature of past times.
And I know we’ve come
Acknowledging the journey and progress made away from the starting point.
A long way from home
Recognizing the distance traveled from one's place of origin.
It just hit me now
Realizing a significant revelation at the present moment.
This could be our only go around
Contemplating the uniqueness and singularity of the current opportunity.
(La la la la)
Indicating a melodic, possibly contemplative or reflective, ending.
