Ephemeral Lives: A Melody of Ambition, Love, and the Human Condition
Lyrics
Some made of steel, some made of glass
Various individuals have different strengths and vulnerabilities - some are resilient (made of steel), while others are fragile (made of glass).
Some made to go where others won't pass
Some are designed for challenges others avoid, indicating a diversity of purposes and destinies.
Some made to rule, the grand master mind
There are those destined for leadership and strategic thinking.
Some to lose for others to find
Some exist to experience failure for others to learn from.
Now everybody is running for something
People are driven by aspirations and goals.
Now that the dream is gone, developed, disguised
The initial dream has evolved or disappeared, transformed into a superficial spectacle (giant cable show).
Into a giant cable show... and you want more
Desire for more, potentially referring to success or fulfillment beyond the superficial.
Well you deserve more like immortality, extension
Suggesting a desire for immortality or extended significance, listing avenues such as drugs, religion, sex, and surgery.
Dope, religion, sex and surgery
Acknowledging a departure from traditional poetry.
Guess I'm slipping out of the poetry class here
A large number of individuals with diverse opinions and perspectives.
So many people, with so much to say
Highlighting the variety of people in the world who contribute to the news.
So many people, makin' news today
Encouraging participation and unity in singing together.
Some made to sing, now will you sing along
Diverse individuals with varying characteristics like confidence, gold, and stone.
Some made like god, and they can't be wrong
Emphasizing the importance of punctuality for everyone.
Some made of gold, some made of stone
A sarcastic comment on societal expectations and values.
Some with the confidence to bring it all home
A reflection on the pursuit of undefined ideals such as freedom, equality, and success.
Now everybody's got to be on time... be on time...
Expressing uncertainty about the purpose behind the rat race but acknowledging the thrill of competition.
Free, equal, successful, way ahead... for what
Repeating the theme of a multitude of people with diverse opinions.
I don't know... but it sure feels great running...
Reiterating the desire to be a lover, clown, or a source of material wealth for someone.
I guess...
Repeating the desire to love and be loved.
So many people, with so much to say
Reiterating the desire to be a lover, clown, or a source of material wealth for someone.
So many people, makin' news today
Repeating the desire to love and be loved.
So let me be your lover, let me be your clown
Highlighting the diverse growth patterns and destinies of individuals.
Let me be your money, you can spend me all around
Some are designed to shine brightly, while others are destined for a fleeting existence.
Let me love you down
Continuation of the theme of numerous individuals expressing themselves and making news.
Some grow big, some grow small
Reiterating the desire to be a lover, clown, or a source of material wealth for someone.
Some grow fast, some not at all
Repeating the desire to love and be loved.
Some made to glow, some made to shine, some to burn just for a brief moment of time... like...
