Monument
Monument of Transformation: A Journey through Paris and New York
Lyrics
Windowsill, Paris, France
Reflecting on a moment in Paris, France, by a windowsill
Cast a shadow of this chance
A sense of opportunity or possibility cast a shadow
Hanging over Gare do Nord like I never asked for more
Contemplating a chance encounter near Gare do Nord without expecting more
Statues on the building tops
Notable figures or obstacles atop buildings
Stooping for the fire we got
Bending or yielding to the intensity of a shared experience
Heart's new incantation
A new and powerful spell or charm for the heart
Your face bared to the sheer moonlight
A vulnerable exposure of emotions under the moonlight
Time flies and I'm here to ride
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of time and being present
Red lights, cars zoom past, New York had a heart attack
Observing a hectic urban scene in New York
Screaming into a new world
Expressing intense emotions as one enters a new phase of life
Sunrise at Sacre Coeur, I turn to move into the church
Transitioning from darkness to light at Sacre Coeur during sunrise
Silence wraps around my head like everything I've never said
Feeling surrounded by unspoken silence and untold thoughts
My heart is reeling, opening to let me in
Opening up emotionally, with the heart in turmoil
New day's illumination
Embracing the enlightening power of a new day
Will it rain then and drown this out?
Questioning if challenges will wash away in the rain
I could die here and never be found out
Contemplating anonymity and the possibility of a hidden demise
Sweat freezes on my face
Experiencing a physically intense and challenging situation
Moving forward from this place
Moving forward despite difficulties
Screaming into a new world
Expressing intense emotions as one enters a new phase of life (repeated)
I'm not looking for answers at a time like this
Not seeking answers during a challenging time
I can feel this moment
A heightened awareness of the current moment
For once let it come
Desiring to experience the present moment fully
Let it, oh God, let it come
Requesting the unfolding of the moment
Well, it's protect or sacrifice
Weighing the choice between protection and self-sacrifice
Waste my time thinking twice
Considering the consequences of overthinking and hesitation
Redirect back to earth
Redirecting focus back to reality
I never knew less than a heartbreaker
Admitting ignorance or naivety about heartbreak
Torn down monument
Describing a torn down monument, a symbol of irreversible change
Never be the same again
Accepting that things will never be the same again
My new destination
Embracing a new direction or purpose
Struck down silhouette
Depicting a defeated and fading outline or image
Conscience fade to black
Conscience fading into darkness
Burn out your blood so blessed in your military dress
Describing the sacrifice and honor associated with military service
Heaven's incandescent glow, honourable way to go
Describing a heavenly and radiant departure
Screaming... I go screaming into a new world...
Reiterating the intense emotions of entering a new world (repeated)
