Mortal Seed
Embracing Life's Choices: Beyond Mortal Seed
Lyrics
Shadows sleep coiled in the hand
There are hidden or dormant aspects (shadows) that rest within someone's grasp or control.
Cast from distant fires
These hidden aspects are projected or thrown away from faraway sources of passion or intensity.
Tired eyes so dry
Exhausted or fatigued eyes that lack moisture.
So full of sand
The eyes are dry as if filled with sand, potentially symbolizing discomfort, weariness, or emotional burden.
Just remember that you won't take it
An assertion that the listener will not accept something (potentially negative or oppressive) anymore.
You won't take anymore
A reiteration that the listener will not endure or tolerate certain circumstances further.
Please don't take it
A plea not to endure or accept something; a request for a different action or outcome.
Turn around and reach out to the shore
Suggests turning away from the current situation and aiming for safety or stability.
From this mortal seed
From the human origins or beginning, there's a transformation occurring deeply inside.
turning deep inside
Refers to an internal wound that does not physically bleed but is emotionally or spiritually impactful.
there's a wound which cannot bleed
Signifying the denial of certain pleasures or desires.
for the pleasures we have been denied
An assertion that individuals have the power to shape their own identity or future.
All you want to be only we can decide
Attempting to progress but feeling stuck, like an immobile statue near the edge.
Try to get ahead, but standing
Talking about change or a new path, yet the words uttered don't have a lasting impact.
Like a statue on the edge
Indication of a hopeful sign or opportunity (light) shining from above.
You talk about a new direction
Despite positive signs, there's a lack of connection or response from others who seem oblivious or indifferent.
But the words fly out and disappear
A statement highlighting the repetitive nature of experiences or situations.
High windows shine, the light seems like a sign
An encouragement to step forward without fear, acknowledging the entitlement to seek more.
But there's a crowd down there laughing
Restates the earlier lines about hidden or dormant aspects within one's control.
But don't seem to hear
Reiterates the idea of projection or distancing from intense sources.
Oh it's the same today, always just the same as before
Reiteration of fatigue or exhaustion in the eyes, emphasizing discomfort or strain.
Can't be the same today, step out don't be afraid
Emphasizes the refusal to accept something undesirable any longer.
You've got the right, got the right for more
A plea not to tolerate or endure a situation any further.
Shadows sleep coiled in the hand
Repeated verses from the earlier lines emphasizing the same sentiments and themes.
Cast from distant fires
-Tired eyes so dry
-So full of sand
-Just remember that you won't take it
-You won't take anymore
-Please don't take it
-Turn around and reach out to the shore
