Grains Of Sand
Ephemeral Journeys: Black Crown Owls' Reflection on Life's Transience
Lyrics
Grains of sand
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of life, comparing it to "grains of sand."
How they shift and change
Contemplating the constant and unpredictable changes in life.
Moving, drifting on different waves
Acknowledging the diverse paths and experiences people take.
And just like the pebbles and the grains of sand
Drawing a parallel between people and the transitory nature of pebbles and sand.
There's just no telling where we will end up
Expressing the uncertainty and unpredictability of life's journey.
In the sky we'll seek the unknown experience both warm and cold
Exploring the pursuit of unknown experiences, encompassing both warmth and coldness.
Leaves on the trees
Observing the vibrant and seemingly enduring nature of leaves on trees.
How they look so green
Contrasting the current appearance of the leaves with their inevitable fall and drift.
But when the time comes they too will fall and drift
Continuing the analogy of people as pebbles and sand, emphasizing the uncertainty of outcomes.
And just like the pebbles and the grains of sand
Reiterating the theme of life's unpredictability and the inability to foresee our destinations.
There 's just no telling where they will end up
Highlighting the pervasive theme of uncertainty in life's journey.
If all we want are only things we see
Questioning the pursuit of only visible and tangible desires in life.
There'll be no end to our miseries
Warning against the endless suffering that comes from solely seeking material possessions.
And all we love and all we understand
Acknowledging that everything we love and comprehend is transient.
Will drift away like the grains of sand
Stressing the ephemeral nature of love and understanding, comparing it to drifting sand.
Drift away like the grains of sand
Repeating and emphasizing the idea of things drifting away, reinforcing the metaphor of grains of sand.
Drift away like the grains of sand
-Drift away like the grains of sand
-Drift away like the grains of sand
-Drift away, grains of sand
-Drift away
-Like the grains of sand
-Drift away
Concluding with a final mention of drifting away, bringing closure to the contemplation on life's impermanence.
