No Repose
Eternal Movement: Unveiling Life's Unrest
Lyrics
You were always my favourite
You held a special place in my heart.
Even before I knew you
My affection for you predates my personal knowledge of you.
People could see right through you
Others could easily see through your facade.
To those fingers crossed behind your back, so
You were deceptive, hiding intentions with crossed fingers.
Lemmie hear what you're listening to
Let me hear the music or sounds that resonate with you.
Peel me one of those hard boiled eggs
Perform a mundane task for me, like peeling a hard-boiled egg.
You only feed a dog that begs, so
You only attend to those who ask or beg for your attention.
If you pretty please
If you kindly oblige.
And I will tell you where the sunshine goes
I will reveal where happiness disappears.
When the cars all park and the bars all close
When the day ends and social places close.
It goes sailing over a deep, dark ocean
Happiness moves over a vast, mysterious sea.
Cause there's only motion. There is no repose
Life is constant movement, without rest.
Every kiss is a kiss goodbye
Each kiss signifies parting.
Every bruise is a souvenir
Every bruise is a lasting memory.
Hold on tight till they disappear
Hold on until the pain fades away.
It’s harder to remember now we're
Recollection becomes more challenging as time passes.
Held up by the parade
Supported or delayed by a public display or event.
Wipe those tears off the steering wheel
Wipe away your tears, but your true emotions are hidden.
No one really knows how you feel
No one truly understands how you truly feel.
So do not be afraid
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Because those headlights do not understand
Car lights cannot comprehend human emotions.
They illuminate but can't comprehend
They illuminate but lack understanding.
They are seen and see and still they have no notion
They exist in a state of observation without comprehension.
That there's only motion. There is no repose
Life is perpetual movement with no rest.
I will tell you where the moonlight goes
I will disclose where serenity disappears.
When the bluebirds sing and the green grass grows
When nature is lively and flourishing.
It goes rolling over a deep, dark ocean
Serenity flows over an immense, mysterious sea.
Cause there's only motion. There is no repose
Life is continual motion without repose.
There is only motion. There is no repose
Emphasizes the absence of rest, reinforcing constant motion.
There is only motion. There is no repose
Reiterates the theme of perpetual motion without repose.
Said there is only motion. There is no repose
Affirms the idea that life is in constant motion without rest.
