Forking Paths
Navigating Life's Forking Paths: Augie March's Reflections
Lyrics
I’m tired of bad news,
I feel exhausted by receiving negative information.
I’m tired of fighting,
I am weary of engaging in conflicts or struggles.
I don’t remember when life was exciting,
I cannot recall a time when life was full of excitement.
Is this the way it’s going to be till the end?
Is the current situation a permanent state until the end of life?
I don’t want to leave it wondering.
I don't want to depart from life with unanswered questions or uncertainties.
So hard to empathise,
It is challenging to understand and share the feelings of others.
So many hostile,
There are many people who are unfriendly or antagonistic.
Like parsing babble to arrive at the gospel,
Interpreting meaningless talk to find meaningful truths, only to discover they are uninteresting.
Only to find it wasn’t very interesting.
Despite efforts to seek meaning, the discovered truths are not compelling or engaging.
I don’t want to read it wondering.
I don't want to go through life without understanding or clarity.
My love and hate were always married, never friends.
My feelings of love and hate have always been closely connected, never separate.
I love the high road, I love the low road,
I appreciate both positive and negative experiences.
I’ve taken both roads and never known why.
I've chosen different paths in life without understanding the reasons.
It shouldn’t matter so, but I seem to need to know,
It shouldn't be significant, but I feel a need to understand why each step leads me to confusion.
Why each foot in a row will lead me round the bend.
Why each step in a sequence leads to confusion or uncertainty.
It’s just the way I’m going to make it to the end.
Despite uncertainties, this is the path I've chosen to follow until the end.
I don’t want to leave it wondering.
I don't want to face the end of life with unanswered questions or uncertainties.
