Lyrics

The wind fans deadpan

The wind has a lifeless expression

We plummet through the wake

We descend rapidly through the aftermath

Well, that's my last mistake

Acknowledging a regrettable action as my final error

Birds land then

Birds arrive, then choose to depart aimlessly

Stand and fly astray

They stand briefly and deviate in flight

They'd do that anyway

Indicating that deviation is inherent, regardless of external influences


It's just

Transition to

Like before you were born

Similar to the state before one's birth

Through that peaceful moment

Experiencing a serene moment

Like before you were born

Repetition of the idea of life before birth

Like before you were born

Reiteration of the concept of existence before birth

Like before you were born

Emphasis on the state preceding one's birth


I'm an old man

Characterizing oneself as aged

I tell the same old sun

Addressing the constant sun with familiarity

"I get it, I've done it, I'm done"

Expressing understanding and completion of certain experiences

Cars breeze past

Automobiles pass swiftly

Winding through the calm

Navigating through a tranquil atmosphere

I guess their lives go on

Speculating that others' lives continue despite the calm


It's just

Reiteration of

Like before you were born

Resembling the period before one's birth

Through that peaceful moment

Experiencing a peaceful interval

Like before you were born

Repetition of the notion of existence before birth

Like before you were born

Restating the idea of being before birth

Like before you were born

Emphasizing the state preceding one's birth
