The Undying Man
Eternal Echoes: The Undying Man's Timeless Odyssey
Lyrics
He wakes up with the morning sun, but he doesn’t feel its rays
Despite waking up with the morning sun, the undying man is emotionally unaffected by its warmth.
His skin looks like he is thirty one, but underneath there is no age
Physically, he appears to be thirty-one, but he carries an ageless quality beneath the surface.
He takes a look at his pocket watch, for ninety years it has stood still
Checking his pocket watch, which has remained stationary for ninety years, symbolizes a halted sense of time.
The tick tock, a distant memory, that brings forth a bitter chill
The sound of the ticking clock, a distant memory, evokes a bitter and chilling feeling.
Time moves on, but his life remains the same
Although time progresses, the undying man's life remains unchanged.
So many have come and gone, but just their memories remain
While many people have entered and exited his life, only their memories linger.
His eyes have seen the view of everything you can
His eyes have witnessed a comprehensive view of everything life has to offer.
This is the life of the undying man
The undying man's existence is described as a life marked by perpetual endurance.
He takes a walk down the street like so many times before
Engaging in a routine walk down the street, echoing countless previous walks.
He overhears a conversation of two men by the corner store
Overhearing a conversation, possibly highlighting the mundane nature of human interactions for him.
They say, it’s better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all
Reflecting on the common saying that it's better to have loved and lost, a sentiment he may find challenging given his prolonged existence.
But what if you have outlived loved so many times to even care at all
Questioning the value of love when he has outlived it so frequently that it holds little significance.
Time moves on, but his life remains the same
Reiteration that time progresses, yet his life remains static.
So many have come and gone, but just their memories remain
Despite the passage of time, only memories of others endure in the undying man's life.
His eyes have seen the view of everything you can
His eyes have observed everything life offers, emphasizing the breadth of his experiences.
This is the life of the undying man
Reaffirmation of the undying man's unique and unchanging existence.
The sun puts itself to sleep as the moonlight starts to rise
As the sun sets, the city lights emerge, creating a picturesque scene.
Seeing the lights of the city streets like a million fireflies
The city lights are likened to a myriad of fireflies, portraying the beauty of the urban landscape.
He wants to cry, yell, and curse at the world for a life with an eternal flame
The undying man desires to express strong emotions, but the eternal nature of his life makes such expressions seemingly futile.
But what’s the point of even feeling at all when tomorrow will be the same
Expressing a sense of hopelessness and apathy towards emotions, given the predictable nature of his unending existence.
Time moves on, but his life remains the same
Reiteration that time marches on, yet the undying man's life remains unaltered.
So many have come and gone, but just their memories remain
Memories persist, illustrating the enduring impact of those who have crossed paths with the undying man.
His eyes have seen the view of everything you can
His eyes have absorbed the entirety of life's experiences, emphasizing his extensive journey.
This is the life of the undying man
A final declaration underscoring the unique and unchanging nature of the undying man's life.
Of the undying man
A concluding repetition of the undying man's eternal state, summarizing the theme of the song.
