Cicada
Harmony of Emergence: A Musical Reflection on Life's Bittersweet Symphonies
Lyrics
This world is blasphemy, I complain
This world is seen as sinful or sacrilegious, and I express discontent.
I'm probably to blame
I likely have a share of responsibility for the world's state.
The only difference is an understanding maybe how to change
The only difference lies in understanding, perhaps in knowing how to bring about change.
For the better, what is better, that's a bitter pill to taste
Improvement is subjective, and determining what's truly better is a challenging experience.
But I'm not
I am not...
Sometimes my positions rearranged
My perspectives sometimes undergo reorganization or alteration.
Periodical cicadas sing in unison tonight
Periodical cicadas are singing in harmony tonight.
Seventeen years underground they emerge to mate and die
Seventeen years spent hidden, cicadas emerge to reproduce and then perish.
Life is dark and strange sometimes, the silver linings bright
Life can be perplexing and unusual, yet positive aspects shine brightly.
Periodical cicadas sing in unison tonight
Periodical cicadas continue their unified song tonight.
It might sound sappy, I'm an advocate of fighting for the happy
It may sound sentimental, but I advocate for pursuing happiness.
As long as happy isn't harmful to another human soul
As long as happiness does not cause harm to another human being.
But that's rough like drawing lines with sticks on concrete not so visible enough
Defining boundaries can be challenging, like drawing lines with sticks on concrete that may not be clearly visible.
Drawing lines with sticks on concrete not so visible enough
Drawing lines with sticks on concrete may not be visible enough.
Periodical cicadas sing in unison tonight
Periodical cicadas join in harmony once again tonight.
Seventeen years underground they emerge to mate and die
After seventeen years underground, cicadas emerge to reproduce and face mortality.
Life is dark and strange sometimes, the silver linings bright
Life is occasionally shadowed and peculiar, but positive elements stand out.
Periodical cicadas sing in unison tonight
Periodical cicadas are singing in unison tonight.
