We Are the Tide
Riding the Waves of Existence: Blind Pilot's Anthem of Life's Journey
Lyrics
Our time is ever on the road, the ride is in what we make
Our lives are always in motion, and the experience is shaped by our actions.
I walked a year to hear a howl in this give and take
The speaker endured a long journey seeking a significant experience amid give-and-take interactions.
But hear it this way, hear it this way
An emphasis on perceiving things from a particular perspective.
And war is in our hearts and blood is in the land we love
Conflict is embedded within us, and the land we love is stained with the consequences of it.
We keep breaking our backs, hoping that it gives enough
We exhaust ourselves in the hope that our efforts will be sufficient.
But what do you need? What do you need?
An inquiry into what is essential or desired.
Oh man, it's ladders to the sky, building up a high-rise
Life resembles an endless climb towards unreachable heights.
Oh man, we won't last long but we're giving it our best try
Despite the fleeting nature of existence, we strive to make the best of it.
Don't you know you're alive? You know you're alive
An encouragement to recognize and appreciate one's existence.
And none of us stay the day we're born 'til when we
None of us remain stagnant from birth to death.
And tonight I'm in love with everybody on the city bus
A feeling of connectedness and affection towards everyone, even strangers.
I feel the push and pull, keep saying that it doesn't mean much
Despite feeling the forces of life, there's a sense of triviality attached to it.
But what do you see? What do you see?
Questioning perception and understanding of the surroundings.
And everybody on the street is singing like it's Sunday
An atmosphere of collective joy and celebration, akin to a Sunday.
But we keep inside and our looks stay at bay
We maintain a guarded exterior while keeping our emotions concealed.
And we don't know what left but we feel it's coming back soon
An uncertain sense of loss is felt, with an anticipation of its return.
And so we're standing in the street staring at a blood-red moon
A visual portrayal of a significant event, possibly indicating a moment of reckoning.
Well, we are the tide, we are the tide
Identification with the powerful and influential force of the tide, symbolizing the collective impact of humanity.
And none of us stay the day we're born 'til when we
Similar to line 12, highlighting the continuous change and evolution throughout life.
