Will Come and Go
Journey Through Hope: Arda Alper's Reflection on Life's Trials
Lyrics
For all of the things that you have done
Reflecting on actions and accomplishments
And all of the things that you wanted to be
Aspirations and desires
We'd walk through the valley
Navigating challenges ("valley") towards a valuable goal ("heart of gold")
On our way to a heart of gold
Heading towards a precious and positive destination
And we'd be all alone
Isolation or a moment of solitude
And I hope this ain't the end of the world
Expressing concern about a potentially dire situation
And I hope that I still believe in you
Maintaining belief in someone or something
Sometimes you want to take my soul and set me to be free
Feeling threatened or manipulated, yearning for freedom
And I hope that you hear me
Desiring acknowledgment or understanding
It's clear that I am free
Emphasizing personal freedom
But I am up to my knees
Facing challenges or difficulties
I can't look you in the eyes
Avoiding direct confrontation or communication
And I'm turning the page
Moving forward or progressing in life
It's clear that I am free
Reiterating the theme of personal freedom
But I am up to my knees
Still facing challenges despite freedom
I'm a stranger here and I know
Feeling out of place or unfamiliar
Things will come and they won't go
Accepting the transient nature of situations
I've got a thousand things and I need the strength
Having numerous challenges and seeking strength
To take away these tears to rest
Desiring relief from emotional pain
And take away my sorrow
Seeking solace and understanding
And maybe tell me how it ends
Yearning for clarity about the future
Cause I can see the light
Perceiving positivity or hope
In every face that i see
Observing hope in others
And now I gotta know
Seeking understanding or insight
I just think you're so blind
Perceiving someone as oblivious or unseeing
Now you have gone away
Expressing the departure of someone significant
It's clear that I am free
Reiteration of personal freedom
But I am up to my knees
Continued challenges despite freedom
I can't look you in the eyes
Avoiding direct eye contact, perhaps due to difficulty
And I'm turning the page
Moving forward or progressing in life
It's clear that I am free
Emphasizing personal freedom once again
But I am up to my knees
Remaining challenged despite freedom
I'm a stranger here and I know
Feeling like an outsider in a place
Things will come and they won't go
Acknowledging the transient nature of situations
Things have gone to grave
Acknowledging the permanence of certain situations
