Seconds to Fall
Embracing Life's Precarious Climb
Lyrics
Well, it took years to climb that hill
Reflecting on the time and effort it took to overcome challenges or achieve a goal.
And now we look up to the mountains
Despite past achievements, there are new challenges or goals that seem daunting.
As high as you might climb there still
Acknowledging that no matter how high you climb, there are still challenges ahead.
Something we should not forget
Emphasizing the importance of remembering certain lessons or experiences.
It takes seconds to fall
Highlighting the quickness with which one can experience a downfall or failure.
Seconds to fall
Repeating the idea that falling can happen rapidly.
Could happen that you can scratch the clouds
Suggesting the possibility of reaching great heights but facing the risk of a sudden fall.
Could happen that you come tumbling down
Acknowledging the unpredictability of life and the potential for abrupt setbacks.
Could be you find yourself at the top of the stairs
Describing a scenario where someone reaches a significant point but may face challenges.
Could be you're just another clown
Suggesting that success does not guarantee immunity from difficulties or ridicule.
It takes seconds to fall, yeah
Reiterating the theme that falling can happen in a very short span of time.
Seconds to fall
Emphasizing the rapid nature of a potential downfall.
Seconds to fall, oh yeah
Repeating the idea that falling is a quick process.
At the top of the stairs, nobody cares
Indicating that at certain points in life, people may not care about your past or future.
What has been or what will come
Expressing a disregard for the past or future, focusing on the present.
I don't want to preach, no, I'm not the one
Stating a reluctance to give advice, asserting the speaker's humility.
But you better hear me call
Asserting the need for attention and understanding of a crucial message.
It takes seconds to fall, yeah
Reiterating the rapidity with which a fall or failure can occur.
Seconds to fall
Repeating the idea that falling happens in a short span of time.
Seconds to fall
Emphasizing again the quick nature of a potential downfall.
Seconds to fall
Continuing to stress the theme of the rapidity of falling.
