Shapes of Things
Contours of Wisdom: Exploring Life's Transformations in 'Shapes of Things'
Lyrics
Shapes of things before my eyes
Reflecting on the forms and appearances of things in the world.
Just teach me to despise
Expressing a desire to learn how to feel contempt or strong dislike.
Will time make men more wise?
Pondering whether the passage of time will bring increased wisdom to humanity.
Here within my lonely frame
Feeling isolated within one's own perspective or viewpoint.
My eyes just heard my brain
Suggesting a disconnect between what the eyes perceive and what the brain comprehends.
But will it seem the same?
Raising the question of whether the future will appear differently.
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Contemplating the aging process and its impact on one's self.
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Considering the possibility of becoming a soldier in the future.
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Expressing a hope to become more courageous and daring in the future.
Now the trees are almost green
Observing the changing color of trees as a metaphor for the passage of seasons.
But will they still be seen
Raising doubt about whether these changes will be noticeable over time.
When time and tide have been?
Questioning the permanence of natural beauty in the face of time and change.
Fallin' into your passing hands
Entering into the hands of someone passing by, possibly a metaphor for fate or destiny.
Please don't destroy these lands
Pleading to preserve and not harm the environment or surroundings.
Don't make them desert sands
Advising against turning the land into deserts through destructive actions.
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Reiterating the contemplation of aging and the uncertainties of the future.
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Repeating the consideration of potential military service in the future.
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Expressing a recurring hope to be more courageous and daring in the future.
Soon I hope that I will find
Anticipating the discovery of profound thoughts deep within one's consciousness.
Thoughts deep within my mind
Expressing a desire for thoughts that do not replace or displace one's humanity.
That won't displace my kind
Hopeful for a mental state that coexists harmoniously with the speaker's identity.
