Never Meant to Know
Unraveling Life's Unseen Mysteries
Lyrics
Woke up today with a lay of the land
Waking up and assessing the situation or circumstances.
Feather in cap & the sun in the sand
Feeling accomplished or successful with a symbolic feather in the cap and the sun setting on a beach.
It was easy
Experiencing a sense of simplicity or ease.
It was easy to understand
Finding it easy to comprehend or make sense of things.
Everything suddenly falls out of sight
Things disappearing from view suddenly.
Every attachment is made of the light
Attachments or connections being ethereal or insubstantial.
That you offered
Referring to a benefactor offering something valuable.
You have offered to give me life
Expressing gratitude for being given life.
See the sky & all the land together again
Observing the unity of the sky and land.
See the way the earth can stay below
Noticing the earth below and questioning identity.
Who do we think we are?
Raising existential questions about identity.
Everything plays a part
Emphasizing that everything has a role or purpose.
There are some things we are never meant to know
Acknowledging the existence of mysteries beyond understanding.
Having enjoyed all the meat from the bone
Having experienced all that life has to offer.
Is perfectly equal to being alone
Equating enjoying life to loneliness.
It was even
Describing an experience as fair or just.
But you breathe & I turn to stone
Feeling paralyzed or emotionless in response to breathing.
Everything suddenly looks like a sign
Perceiving everything as significant or meaningful.
Easy to see from the outermost clime
Finding clarity or understanding from an external perspective.
I believe in what I leave in the way behind
Believing in the significance of one's past actions.
And all the parts combine to one
Highlighting the unity and interconnectedness of different elements.
And all of us around the sun
Emphasizing the collective existence of humanity around the sun.
Everything will fall away
Expressing the transient nature of everything.
To order from the disarray
Referring to the transition from chaos to order.
See the sun the shadows cast
Observing shadows cast by the sun.
From all the times I floated past
Reflecting on past experiences and their impact.
See the ocean spinning out
Noticing the perpetual movement of the ocean with feelings of hope and doubt.
With all the hope & all the doubt
Recognizing the complexity of emotions.
See the sky & all the land together again
Reiterating the unity of the sky and land.
See the way the earth can stay below
Revisiting the idea of the earth below and questioning identity.
Who do we think we are?
Rephrasing existential questions about identity.
Everything plays a part
Reiterating the concept that everything has a role or purpose.
There are some things we don't understand
Acknowledging the existence of mysteries beyond understanding.
Reasons on the other hand
Recognizing that there are things we may never comprehend.
There are some things we are never meant to know
Highlighting the presence of reasons that remain elusive.
