In One Breath
In One Breath: Navigating Life's Depths Through Caleb Hyles' Melodic Odyssey
Lyrics
Clouds above just passing by
Observing clouds passing above.
Bodies warmed by candle light
People finding warmth in the glow of candlelight.
Strangers born and strangers die
Strangers being born and dying.
Can you feel your insignificance
Reflecting on one's own insignificance.
Some great cause or some great blight
Contemplating significant events, positive or negative.
Not in creed nor in device
Not defined by beliefs or devices.
Drawn to something I can't find
Drawn to an elusive something that cannot be found.
"Wonder" is the greatest mystery
Wonder is presented as the greatest mystery.
And IN ONE BREATH, I don a crown of thorns
Wearing a figurative crown of thorns, symbolic of suffering.
And IN ONE BREATH, I feel my spirit soar
Experiencing a soaring spirit in a single breath.
And IN ONE BREATH, it's all made new
Feeling a renewal in a single breath.
And IN ONE BREATH, "It can't be true"
Doubting the reality of positive experiences in a breath.
In just one breath, the pain inside will soon subside
Finding relief from inner pain within a breath.
Flooding waters fill a home
Describing flooding waters destroying a home.
Wash away all that we know
Symbolizing the washing away of familiar things.
True love's face, I can't recall
Forgetting the face of true love.
Memories; they fade and so do I
Memories fading, paralleling personal decline.
Terrified of what's to come
Being scared of the future.
Paralyzed by "not enough"
Feeling paralyzed by inadequacy.
Peace received by giving up
Finding peace through surrendering control.
Even still, can wellness fill my soul
Questioning if wellness can fill the soul.
And IN ONE BREATH, I curse the ones I love
Cursing loved ones in a breath.
And IN ONE BREATH, forgiven for what I've done
Experiencing forgiveness for past actions.
And IN ONE BREATH, I feel betrayed
Feeling betrayed in a breath.
And IN ONE BREATH, "I should have stayed"
Regretting a decision to leave in a breath.
In just one breath, the pain inside will soon subside
Finding relief from inner pain within a breath.
And at the end of it all, will I know more than now
Contemplating gaining knowledge through life's journey.
Will I stop questioning "why?" and learning simply how
Questioning and learning about life's purpose.
How to live with what I have and what's in front of me
Learning to live with the present and what's ahead.
I have relinquished control and that has set me free
Experiencing freedom through relinquishing control.
In this life we lead, there's so much to see
Reflecting on the richness of life experiences.
Friends we've yet to make
Acknowledging the potential for new friendships.
Fears we've yet to face
Acknowledging future fears to be faced.
Though our minds will fail
Accepting the limitations of the mind.
Our love will tell the tale
Believing that love will endure and tell a story.
Let salvation come
Desiring salvation to come.
Let redemption reign
Yearning for redemption to prevail.
And IN ONE BREATH, I realize, I'm alive
Realizing the gift of being alive in a breath.
And IN ONE BREATH, somehow, there's still time
Finding hope and time for positive change in a breath.
So much of life, I lay to rest
Laying to rest a significant portion of life.
But there's still some
Acknowledging unfinished aspects of life.
Not written yet
Embracing the uncertainty of the future.
In one breath
Summarizing the complexity of life in one breath.
Just one breath
Emphasizing the brevity and significance of life in one breath.
In one breath
Reiterating the concept of life encapsulated in one breath.
