Oh Fortune
Embracing Destiny: Dan Mangan's Ode to Life's Trials
Lyrics
Oh, fortune
Expressing a plea or invocation to fate or luck.
Bring fortune
Requesting fortune to arrive or be present.
To spare
To have extra fortune or luck beyond what's needed.
Time's passing
Indication of time passing by.
And we're worsing
We are deteriorating over time.
For wear
Weakening due to wear and tear.
Aching for breathable air
Desiring air that's easy to breathe.
Oh, my God, it's killing me
Expressing extreme discomfort or pain.
Oh, chances
Opportunities or possibilities.
Oh, forces
External influences that shape outcomes.
Of luck
The unpredictable nature of luck or fate.
Fields arid
Dry or barren areas symbolizing lack.
Windows boarded
Protective measures taken, shutting out opportunities or light.
Enough
Having enough of something, reaching a limit.
Lord, let those skies open up
Requesting for a change in circumstances, a breakthrough.
Powers that be, forsaken me
Feeling abandoned or rejected by higher powers.
Oh, choices
Selections or decisions to be made.
Bring voices
Asking for voices or opinions to resonate.
Resound
Requesting for a joyful or lively response.
Please be merry
Asking for happiness despite death.
When I am buried
Acknowledging one's eventual burial.
In the ground
Nice to have the kids around
Expressing appreciation for the presence of children.
Oh, my God, it's killing me
Reiterating extreme discomfort or pain.
