Time Away From Time
Revelations of Transience: Escaping Time's Embrace
Lyrics
Do you agree
Expressing a query about agreement.
That every day slips into night
Reflecting on the inevitable transition from day to night.
Every word is a lie?
Questioning the honesty of every spoken word.
A movement of lips
Describing the fleeting nature of spoken words.
Gone as fast as a kiss
Comparing the quick disappearance of a kiss to the transience of love.
From a lover of just one night
Reflecting on short-lived romantic encounters.
Everyone I love will die
Contemplating the mortality of everyone the speaker loves.
I am only
Acknowledging one's insignificance in the grand scheme, being a small part of a larger whole.
A moment to a mountain
Emphasizing the briefness of the speaker's existence.
A droplet to the sea
Comparing oneself to a tiny droplet in the vast sea.
And the ancient seeds live in me
Noting the presence of ancient knowledge within the speaker.
I know the river
Claiming familiarity with a metaphorical river, possibly representing life.
She's a friend of mine
Personifying the river as a friend.
Sparse and serpentine
Describing the river as sparse and serpentine.
She lives her freedom
Highlighting the freedom of the river and the speaker.
And I live mine
Expressing the speaker's independent way of living.
Can she always be that kind?
Pondering if the river can always be kind.
Can she always be that kind?
Repeating the question about the river's kindness.
Steer me away from
Requesting guidance away from the constraints of time.
The minutes and the hours into
Mentioning specific landscapes like the desert and the pines.
The desert and the pines
Desiring a break from the regular passage of time.
Time away from time
Yearning for a period of time detached from the usual.
Time away from time
Reiterating the desire for a unique experience of time.
The light lingered longer
Describing an extended duration of light.
And we found some other stones to turn
Finding new perspectives or revelations.
Another prophecy to burn
Referring to the dismissal of another prediction or belief.
I feel the swell
Sensing a periodic emotional surge.
Surround me from time to time
Experiencing a surround of emotions occasionally.
There are still mountains in my mind
Having persistent thoughts of mountains.
Steer me into
Seeking a direction toward valleys and orchards.
The valleys and the orchards
Desiring to move away from deserts and pines.
The desert and the pines
Yearning for a period detached from regular time.
Time away from time
Reiterating the desire for a unique experience of time.
Thoughts away from mind
Expressing the desire to detach thoughts from the mind.
Steer me into
Asking to be led toward the pleasant aspects of the sea.
The sweetness of the sea
Yearning for the intangible essence of the sky.
And the ether of the sky
Desiring a break from regular time.
Time away from time
Reiterating the desire for a unique experience of time.
Time away from time
Expressing the desire for a period of time detached from the usual.
