Whispers of Change: Embracing Life Beyond Fleeting Lust
Lyrics
I get blown away
I am deeply affected
But not by anything that's worth it
Not affected by anything valuable or meaningful
Not by notions that deserve it
Not influenced by ideas or beliefs that merit such impact
I'm picked apart by every breeze that comes my way
I am easily affected by any passing influence or suggestion
I'm taken with the wind
I am swayed by the force of change
The definitions that it gives me
I'm influenced by the meanings imposed by external forces
And how it says I should be living
I conform to how it dictates I should live
Until another whisper changes up my mind
Until another subtle influence alters my perspective
The sudden, fleeting floods of lust
Sudden and temporary desires
Show their worth in wasted trust
These desires prove their value by leading to misplaced trust
Like an old, gold-plated coin
Superficially attractive but inherently flawed
A tempting veil that covers up the rust
An enticing cover that hides imperfections
What a way to live
An observation of a particular way of living
To only take it if it's pleasing
Selective acceptance of things only if they're pleasing
We're here one day the next we're leaving
The fleeting nature of life, here one moment and gone the next
The butterflies go wild inside but that's not love
Intense emotions that aren't genuine love
The sudden, fleeting floods of lust
Sudden, momentary desires
Show their worth in wasted trust
They demonstrate their value through misplaced trust
Like an old, gold-plated coin
Superficially attractive but inherently flawed
A tempting veil that covers up the rust
An enticing cover that hides imperfections
Love is patient, love is kind
Love embodies patience and kindness
It doesn't keep a list of wrongs
Love doesn't keep track of faults
It's not the twinkle in your eyes
It's not just external appearances or sweet words
Or pretty words to pretty songs
True love isn't solely about surface-level charm
It doesn't always feel right
Love isn't always immediately comforting or reassuring
Sometimes it hangs upon a cross
Sometimes love involves enduring difficulties
It doesn't come and go with tides
Love isn't subject to changing circumstances
It makes a choice to carry on
It's a conscious decision to persist
The sudden, fleeting floods of lust
Sudden, momentary desires
Show their worth in wasted trust
They reveal their value through misplaced trust
Like an old, gold-plated coin
Superficially attractive but inherently flawed
A tempting veil that covers up the rust
An enticing cover that hides imperfections
