Lyrics
Now we've come to the age,
Reflection on the current era or stage in life.
Where the splendour fades,
Acknowledgment of diminishing splendor or glory.
And we can look behind drooping facades.
Ability to see through superficial appearances.
The glossy front's just fake,
The outer appearance is deceptive and insincere.
The firm base breaks, as this doomed world slowly decays.
The foundation of stability is crumbling in a decaying world.
Illusions fly high,
Pursuit of false perceptions or unrealistic goals.
Nothing we don't try
Intense effort in creating illusions to believe in.
To build up fantasies we can believe.
Engagement in building fanciful worlds for solace.
The dance on dragon's jaws,
Facing danger and risks, symbolic of challenging situations.
In reach of its claws, destroys the little we could retrieve.
Destruction of what little is left by perilous actions.
We have resigned to our fate
Acceptance of an inevitable destiny.
Afraid that our time is up now.
Fearful realization that time may be running out.
Though it's not quite too late, if we take to action now.
Hopeful acknowledgment that action can still make a difference.
We see no future, just today's endured-
Lack of vision for the future, living day by day.
And tomorrow is smoke in the wind.
Uncertainty and fragility of the future.
We dance, sing, play,
Engaging in joyful activities despite the challenges.
'Cause we feel the strain of living at the end of our time.
Feeling the pressure of living in the twilight of existence.
We have resigned to our fate
Reiteration of acceptance of fate.
Afraid that our time is up now.
Renewed fear that time is running out.
Though it's not quite too late, if we take to action now.
Rekindling hope that timely action can alter outcomes.
Our legacy
Recognition of a fading and disappearing legacy.
Fades and melts away,
The transient nature of achievements due to an uncertain tomorrow.
Because tomorrow may not ever be.
Acknowledgment that the future is unpredictable.
So we dance and sing, try to bear the thought
Seeking solace in joyful activities despite impending challenges.
Of approaching the end of our time.
Coping with the idea of approaching the end of an era.
Our legacy
Reflection on the enduring impact or contribution left behind.
