We're Still Here
Embracing Time's Dance: Brother Alfred's Reflection on Life in 'We're Still Here'
Lyrics
Every snowflake falls a different way
Every individual experience is unique and distinctive, much like the way snowflakes fall.
They say
General acknowledgment or consensus among people about the uniqueness of snowflakes.
They turn the coat of hill's and factories the same
Referring to the commonality in the changes that both natural landscapes and industrial areas undergo during winter.
For just one day
A momentary occurrence, possibly emphasizing a fleeting or special event.
People walk backwards
Depicting a surreal scene where people are walking backward, possibly symbolizing a desire to revisit the past.
Making their way back home
Describing a collective journey back home, possibly both physically and metaphorically.
A chance to stay
An opportunity for a lasting or meaningful experience.
Be a kid for a day
Encouraging a return to childlike innocence or carefree joy.
When winter opens the door
Symbolizing a new beginning or a fresh start associated with the winter season.
Another year has passed
Reflecting on the passage of time as another year concludes.
When did we get so old
A realization of aging and the perception of time accelerating.
When did time get so fast
Expressing surprise or contemplation about the speed of time.
I'm the same than I was 21 years ago
Asserting a sense of personal constancy over a span of 21 years.
Loving company, afraid of being left alone
Acknowledging a balance between enjoying companionship and fearing solitude.
On that day
Recalling a specific day marked by collective silence.
We were all quiet
Emphasizing a shared experience of quiet observation.
Watching orion's belt
Describing a moment of stargazing, specifically at Orion's Belt.
It's still there
Confirming the enduring presence of Orion's Belt in the night sky.
And so are we
Connecting the enduring presence of the stars to the enduring nature of humanity.
When winter opens the door
Reiterating the idea of winter as a metaphor for new beginnings.
Another year has passed
Reflecting on the passing of time as another year concludes.
When did we get so old
Reiterating the theme of aging and the swift passage of time.
When did time get so fast
Expressing surprise or contemplation about the speed of time.
We won't stay here forever
Acknowledging the impermanence of the current state, implying change in the future.
Some day we'll float away
Anticipating a departure from the current situation at some point in the future.
But we're still here
A declaration of resilience and celebration of enduring despite challenges.
Let's celebrate this day
Encouraging a celebration of the present moment.
