Travel Light
Journey through Life's Shadows: Travel Light by Bandaid Brigade
Lyrics
Trapped and ordained by the unwitting hallow
Feeling confined and destined by an unintentional sacredness.
Born on a Sunday at 3am
Born during an early morning on a Sunday.
Wrapped in the cool of the limbs of a shadow
Wrapped in the comforting embrace of darkness.
Uncertain how long
Not sure about the duration or extent of the situation.
Addendum be damned, don’t need it
Rejecting additional information or amendments.
Sooner or later we’re all gonna eat it one day
A philosophical reflection on mortality – everyone will die eventually.
I travel lightly with my body on my back
Carrying the weight of one's existence with minimal possessions.
An unremarkable death on a sabbath
An ordinary death occurring on a Sabbath day.
Reduced to footnotes and asterisks
Reduced to insignificant details in historical records.
Hours and minutes a merciless ravage
The relentless passage of time causing harm in measured units.
Stinging sensations amidst the questions of time
Feeling pain amidst unanswered questions about the nature of time.
Leave them unanswered
Choosing to leave certain questions unanswered.
Within my minds eye, the lives of a thousand flies
Imagining the fleeting lives of many, akin to flies.
Goliath walks with me just waiting to attack
A powerful force or threat accompanies the speaker, waiting to strike.
I travel lightly with my body on my back
Continuing to carry the burden of existence with minimal possessions.
Time flies so keep me close tonight
Reflecting on the swift passage of time and seeking closeness.
I’m on the go, I travel light
Expressing a desire to travel light, both physically and emotionally.
Got the essentials with me
Having only the essential knowledge and experiences.
The short list of lessons I’ve learned
Summarizing the valuable lessons learned in a concise manner.
All the baggage I’ve left on this plane
Metaphorically leaving behind emotional baggage and regrets.
Of existence is gathered and burned
The culmination and disposal of the burdens of existence.
One long day, the verdict has been overturned
Receiving a favorable judgment after a prolonged period.
I travel lightly, with my body on my back
Continuing the journey with minimal attachments.
Time flies so keep me close tonight
Reiterating the fleeting nature of time and the importance of closeness.
I’m on the go, I travel light
Expressing the ongoing journey and the commitment to travel light.
