Under the Sun
Ephemeral Reflections: Unveiling Life's Dance in 'Under the Sun'
Lyrics
Soft awakening mirage in the foreground
Describing a gentle, unreal scene in the foreground
Life's ephemeral dance wasted waiting around
Life's fleeting nature being wasted while waiting idly
I should've known as I watched the smile fade
Realization of a fading smile while observing
from your face
The smile disappearing from the person's face
Countless times that perfect line set in its place
Repeated encounters with a perfect, scripted line
Nothing new under the sun
Life experiences being repetitive, nothing new
I mistook strength for sticking around
Confusing endurance with true strength by staying in a situation
A little dread a little fun
A mix of apprehension and enjoyment
Sat poised waiting for the punchline
Ready and waiting for a joke or unexpected turn
I can see you there laying in the tall grass
Visualizing someone lying in the grass
Orphic mysteries present future past
Referring to mystical and mysterious elements of time
I should have known once you set your sights on me
Recognizing hindsight about someone's intentions
I'm a sucker for a song like poor Eurydice
Comparing oneself to a character drawn to tragedy
Nothing new under the sun
Reiterating the lack of novelty in life experiences
I mistook strength for sticking around
Repeating the error of confusing resilience with true strength
A little dread a little fun
Reiterating the mix of apprehension and enjoyment
Sat poised waiting for the punchline
Remaining prepared for an unexpected twist or moment
Nothing new under the sun
Emphasizing the lack of novelty or originality in experiences
Nothing new under the sun
Repeated emphasis on the unchanging nature of life
I mistook strength for sticking around
Repeating the confusion of endurance with true strength
A little dread a little fun
Reiterating the mix of apprehension and enjoyment
Sat poised waiting for the punchline
Continuing preparedness for an unexpected turn
Nothing new under the sun
Stressing the lack of novelty in life's experiences
Nothing new under the sun
Final emphasis on the unchanging nature of life's experiences
