Lyrics

Before we ever seize the day

Before taking action or making the most of opportunities

The calming of the season's end

The peaceful conclusion of a period of time

Life becomes a hidden play

Life appears like a secretive performance or drama

Imparted with a furtive glance

Shared through a secretive or fleeting look

Was it everything you'd dreamed it'd be

Did the reality match your expectations or did it break them?

Or illusions shattered into glass

Were your hopes shattered?


World be gone

A wish for the world to disappear or cease to exist

Or are you filled with loving

Are you filled with love despite this desire?

The way that you promised us

In the manner you assured us in the past

Long ago

Referring to a commitment made a long time ago

And will it tie us to the mast of our souls

Will it strongly bind us to our inner selves?

As in ancient lore

Similar to stories from ancient times

And as I saw you standing there

Observing someone in a moment of distress

Holding your head in your hands

The person appears distraught and troubled


Though it hurts to say goodbye

Painful to bid farewell

Silver linings in the leaden sky

Positives found even in difficult situations

One day we'll return again

A belief in returning and making things right

And surely we will make amends

Assurance of reconciliation in the future

Consequences never seen

Unforeseen outcomes of actions

Broken shadows on an empty screen

Fragmented or distorted representations


World be gone

Desire for the world's disappearance or cessation

Or are you filled with loving

Despite this, are you brimming with love?

The way that you promised us

In the manner previously assured

Long ago

Referencing a commitment from the past

And will it tie us to the mast of our souls

Will it strongly bind our inner essence?

As in ancient lore

Similar to ancient legends or stories

And as I saw you standing there

Observing someone in a moment of distress

Holding your head in your hands

The person seems troubled and overwhelmed


World be gone

A wish for the world's disappearance or cessation

Or are you filled with loving

Despite this, are you filled with love?

The way that you promised us

In the manner previously assured

Long ago

Referring to a commitment made in the past

And will it tie us to the mast of our souls

Will it strongly bind our inner essence?

As in ancient lore

Similar to ancient legends or stories

And as I saw you standing there

Observing someone in a moment of distress

Holding your head in your hands

The person seems troubled and overwhelmed
