summer shadow
Chasing Shadows in My Summer Maze
Lyrics
My finger is moving when the sun comes around
Feeling active and alive when the sun rises
I twist my eyes to avoid the crowd
Avoiding the crowd by narrowing focus
I find no joy thinking about the past
Finding no happiness in reminiscing about the past
But I'm never in the present
Struggling to live in the present moment
Enjoying the what I have
Acknowledging the challenge of appreciating current blessings
(Enjoying what I have)
Reiteration of enjoying what one has
(Dude why)
Questioning the reasons for the struggle
Trying new things to make time slow
Experimenting with new activities to slow down time
It all adds up before I must go
Accumulating experiences before a departure
The more I try
Increasing effort, but the challenge persists
It will never ever go away
Perceiving a persistent struggle that won't disappear
But now I know
Gaining awareness of the ongoing challenge
It's a game I must play
Accepting life as a game that must be played
Its my summer
Emphasizing ownership of the summer experience
Its my summer
Repetition for emphasis on personal connection to summer
Its my summer
Reiteration of personal connection to the season
Its my summer
Emphasizing the individual experience of summer
My summer shadow
Introduction of the concept of a "summer shadow"
My summer shadow
Repetition of the idea of a personal summer shadow
It's here right now
Acknowledging the immediacy of the summer experience
Almost half done
Highlighting that half of the summer has passed
Feeling incomplete
Expressing a sense of incompleteness
The game was not won
Reflecting on an unsuccessful or incomplete endeavor
Picking up seeds
Gathering neglected potential (seeds) that are decaying
That are rotting to the core
Describing the deteriorating state of the neglected potential
I bury them deep
Burying the neglected potential in a familiar place
In a place we've gone before
Returning to a place of shared history or experience
(Dude why)
Reiteration of questioning the reasons for the struggle
