Caves And Embers
Caves And Embers: Navigating A World in Ignorance
Lyrics
Despite what is out there burning
Despite the external challenges or issues that are causing destruction or turmoil.
Our faces remain intact
Our outward appearances remain unchanged or unaffected by the turmoil.
We hear the screaming of the voiceless
We hear the cries and pleas of those who lack a voice or are oppressed.
Yet we are numb to the pain of others
However, we are emotionally detached and indifferent to the suffering of others.
We filter out the light
We block out positive influences or insights.
It never penetrates our blinding screens
Modern technology and distractions prevent us from seeing the truth.
We can take a stand
Although we have the ability to take a principled stand or action.
But in the end it all means nothing
Despite our efforts, ultimately, everything we do is without meaningful impact.
We rage out but we are wasting away
We express anger or rebellion, but it is futile and contributes to our decline.
From the roots below
From the fundamental origins of existence.
To the boundless stars above
Extending to the vast and limitless expanse of the universe.
We are nothing at all
We, as individuals or humanity, have no inherent significance.
What separates us from the others
Our differences from others are based on the choices we make.
A difference in choices made
Even seemingly small choices lead to a distinct stance or position.
We take an insignificant stance
Our stance, however, is inconsequential or unimportant.
What would we do in a opinion vaccuum
In a situation without external judgment, our choices might be different.
When left unaccountable
When not held accountable, our actions may diverge from our proclaimed principles.
So here we are far from the world
In a state of detachment from the world, far removed from reality.
Just wasting away
We are simply deteriorating or declining.
Doing nothing being nothing
We engage in passivity, doing nothing, and accepting our insignificance.
We are the favoured design
We are the preferred or favored design of existence, yet we decay.
And we're wasting away
We are deteriorating or wasting away.
From the caves and embers
From the primal and basic elements to the profound and unknown.
To the heart of the beyond
Our existence lacks inherent value or meaning.
We are nothing at all
(Empty line)
Here we are doing nothing
In this state of passivity, doing nothing and being nothing.
Being nothing
We continue to deteriorate or decline.
We are wasting away
(Empty line)
From the roots below
(Repetition of line 11)
To the boundless stars above
(Repetition of line 12)
We are nothing at all
(Repetition of line 13)
Just wasting away
(Repetition of line 21)
