Lyrics

Still searching for my way

Expressing a continuous quest for direction and purpose in life.

The right way to be

Seeking the correct path or lifestyle.

Still pondering

Reflecting on past actions and decisions.

What I've done

Contemplating the consequences of one's deeds.


I'm still thinking what I've said

Reviewing spoken words and their impact.

Still finding from within

Continuing the internal search for meaning and understanding.

And all that I know

Acknowledging existing knowledge but feeling it is insufficient.

Is still not enough

Perceiving that the accumulated knowledge is still inadequate.


I'm being held by the one

Feeling influenced or controlled by an unseen force.

Shadow tormenting my soul

Experiencing inner turmoil represented by a shadow.

The curving neck of the swan

Symbolizing grace and beauty through the image of a swan.

The slow turning of a bird?s head

Observing a gradual and deliberate movement, possibly of self-reflection.


So white its plumes and feathers

Describing the swan's purity and elegance.

Its breast like the moon in water

Drawing a metaphor with the moon, associating the swan's chest with serenity.


Silent and tranquil it moves

Depicting a serene and quiet progression on the river.

On the river in the calm

Placing oneself within the calm flow of the river.


I wander back on familiar roads

Returning to familiar paths or experiences.

I sense the marks I left on the hills

Sensing the lasting impact left on one's journey.

I see the cuts and wounds of my deeds

Observing scars and consequences of past actions.

They make me muse on life

Reflecting on the scars, prompting contemplation about life.


Up the hill and the mountain

Ascending a hill or mountain, signifying a broader perspective.

I look back, I look down

Looking back on the past with contemplation and self-awareness.

There flows the River of Death

Recognizing the inevitability of mortality and the River of Death.

And here the wind in my hair

Experiencing the elements, wind, and the sensation of existence.
