Lyrics
Heavy, long-lived and redundant
Describing something weighty, enduring, and unnecessary
Still yet to be put to bed
Yet to be resolved or concluded
Albatross on my neck
Feeling burdened by a significant problem or responsibility
Wanders into my head
Thoughts or worries intruding into one's mind
At this point its claws feel blunted
Reaching a point where challenges seem less threatening
Almost as if sore's normal
Experiencing discomfort as if pain has become ordinary
I preserve external
Maintaining an external appearance despite internal struggles
Dress it up more formal
Dressing up or formalizing the external facade
What can I extract from purpose
Questioning the value derived from one's purpose
That can't readily be purchased
Reflecting on the limitations of material acquisitions
Why must I need a new reason
Expressing a desire for a new motivation or purpose
When I sense a changing season
Recognizing a shift in circumstances or perspective
Focusing on prescience
Concentrating on foresight or anticipation
Can't live in the present tense
Struggling to live in the present moment
Always left to comprehend it
Always trying to understand the present situation
Only when I can't amend it
Only realizing the need for change when it's too late
Hands must constantly stay busy
Emphasizing the importance of keeping busy
Even if they lose feeling
Continuing activities even when they become numb
Start to hit a ceiling
Reaching a point where efforts may backfire
Do more harm than healing
Possibly causing more harm than good
As they grab a spade it hits me
Realization as one picks up a spade (tool for digging)
That which once was a keeper
Something valuable turning into a tool
The tool of a reaper
Connecting the spade to the concept of death
Now digs the hole deeper
The tool exacerbating problems rather than solving them
What can I extract from purpose
Reiteration of questioning life's purpose
That can't readily be purchased
Highlighting the limitations of material pursuits
Why must I need a new reason
Expressing a longing for a new direction in life
When I sense a changing season
Sensing a change in personal circumstances
Focusing on prescience
Repeating the focus on foresight or anticipation
Can't live in the present tense
Struggling to live in the present moment
Always left to comprehend it
Always attempting to comprehend the present
Only when I can't amend it
Realizing the need for change only when it's too late
Get used to what you can't expect
Advising acceptance of the unexpected
Find the calm and come to accept
Finding peace and embracing the inevitable
Optimal levels of fruitful
Achieving optimal results in delicate and futile endeavors
Reached in the fragile and futile
Success in fragile and seemingly pointless pursuits
What can I extract from purpose
Reiterating the questioning of life's purpose
That can't readily be purchased
Emphasizing the limitations of material acquisitions
Why must I need a new reason
Expressing a desire for a new motivation or purpose
When I sense a changing season
Sensing a change in personal circumstances
Focusing on prescience
Continuing to focus on foresight or anticipation
Can't live in the present tense
Struggling to live in the present moment
Always left to comprehend it
Always trying to understand the present situation
Only when I can't amend it
Realizing the need for change only when it's too late
