Give Us the Pleasure That Comes with Sleep Then
Navigating Tides of Regret: Charity Children's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
We can hide inside
We can find refuge or solace within.
when the sea begins to rise
During the onset of challenges or difficulties.
but soon the tide will take us too.
However, eventually, those challenges will affect us.
Four seasons in a day
Each day encompasses all four seasons.
couldn't wash our wounds away
Challenges persist despite the passage of time.
and so the tide must take them too.
The challenges must be confronted and endured.
So are you seated for the show?
Asking if the listener is ready for the unfolding events.
Or are you looking out the window
Considering alternative perspectives or opportunities.
searching for a better view?
Seeking a better understanding or outlook.
Now that the rivers have all risen,
Reflection on failure to heed warning signs.
why didn't we listen to the warning clues?
Regret for not paying attention to warnings.
We took a hefty loan
Taking a substantial loan with consequences.
and now there's nothing left to own.
Nothing valuable remains due to choices made.
We're being called for our cue.
Being summoned for a predetermined action.
But what was the reason
Questioning the motivation behind betrayal.
for all of the treason
Acts of betrayal against each other.
that we put each other through?
The reasons for mutual betrayal.
It's getting hard to breathe here.
Feeling suffocated or overwhelmed.
I think I better leave dear
Deciding to depart from a difficult situation.
and go take kindly to
Choosing to embrace a positive change.
putting on my Sunday best
Dressing well for a significant occasion.
and laying down to rest
Preparing for a peaceful rest.
under the skies fiery hue.
Resting under a sky with intense colors.
And oh boy,
Expressing surprise or dismay.
did you see the front page news?
Referring to impactful news on the front page.
And oh boy,
Life is no longer under personal control.
life's no longer what you choose.
Acknowledging a lack of choice in life.
Choose.
Reiterating the theme of choicelessness.
Choose.
I've been searching to and fro
Searching for direction and companionship.
and wondering where we're gonna go
Wondering about the future and relationships.
and who you're gonna cling on to.
Considering who to rely on in challenging times.
Now that the rivers have all risen,
Repeating the theme of neglecting warnings.
why didn't we listen to the warning clues?
Reflecting on the consequences of ignoring warnings.
