Monument
Building Dreams, Breaking Grounds: The Fragility of Ambitions in 'Monument'
Lyrics
When the site was found
Beginning of the construction project or a metaphorical journey.
We laid the foundations down
The initial steps taken in establishing the foundation.
It didn't take long
The construction progressed swiftly.
Before they came back tumbling down
The progress faced unexpected setbacks or challenges.
Don't build at night
Advice or caution against working in the dark or without clarity.
You need a little light
A metaphorical need for understanding or insight.
How else are you going to see
Highlighting the necessity of light for clear vision.
What it's gonna be like?
Emphasizing the importance of foresight in the project.
So we picked up our tools
Resuming work with renewed knowledge or understanding.
And we worked in the morning light
Working during the day, symbolizing clarity and visibility.
With the last stone placed
Celebration of completing the construction.
Wasn't it a wonderful sight?
The initial success and admiration for the completed monument.
But it fell back down
Unexpected failure and disappointment.
And scattered all around
The aftermath of the failure, chaos, and disarray.
Anything passes when you need glasses
Humorous acknowledgment of errors or oversight.
My monument, it fell down
Repetition of the monument falling, possibly emphasizing the cyclical nature of setbacks.
My monument, it fell down
-My monument, it fell down
-My monument, it fell down
-Work all of my days for this kind of praise
Expressing a dedication to hard work for recognition or success.
Work all of my days for this kind of praise
Reiteration of the commitment to labor for acknowledgment.
It fell down
Repetition of the monument falling, underscoring persistent challenges or failures despite dedicated effort.
Work all of my days
-It fell down
-Work all of my days
-It fell down
-Work all of my days
-It fell down
