Monarch of the Mountain
Echoes of Redemption: Embracing Imperfection
Lyrics
They weren't the keepers
People in question were not the guardians or caretakers.
No secret fire there
There was no hidden passion or intense emotion present.
Still I auditioned
Despite the absence of certain qualities, I tried out or sought approval.
A lifetime defined, to remind: the divine
A life marked by a purpose, serving as a constant reminder of the divine.
Whenever your heart says, the waitress...
Act on your heart's desires, even in mundane situations like interacting with a waitress.
Go now, write it down
Take action now, record it for later reflection.
(Be)cause I've seen the end and it comes too soon
Having witnessed the end, it arrives unexpectedly and prematurely.
We fall apart
We disintegrate emotionally or physically.
And then we're gone
We disappear or cease to exist.
We wait our turn
We patiently wait our chance or opportunity.
We never learn
We repeatedly fail to gain wisdom from experience.
I've been to the mountain
I have faced challenges and obstacles, metaphorically represented as a mountain.
Inflated my purpose here
I have inflated or exaggerated my sense of purpose in life.
I've been the villain
I have played the role of a villain.
I am The Dance that Defies Doom
I am the embodiment of the defiant dance in the face of doom.
But I've said the wrong thing so many times
I have made numerous verbal mistakes or said inappropriate things.
That I'm counting my cringes
I am tallying up the moments that make me cringe in embarrassment.
Instead of sheep
Instead of counting sleep, I am preoccupied with regretful memories.
When I try to sleep
Referencing difficulty in sleeping due to self-reflection and remorse.
We fall apart
We break down emotionally or physically.
And then we're gone
We cease to exist or depart.
We wait our turn
We patiently wait for our opportunity or chance.
We never learn
We repeatedly fail to acquire knowledge or insight.
I'll be smarter, kinder next time
I commit to being more intelligent and compassionate in future endeavors.
We'll catch it early next time
We will identify issues early in the future.
The only way to leave is through
The only way to exit a situation is by facing it directly.
