What Are We
Searching for Meaning: Graveyard Train's Reflection on Life and Existence
Lyrics
Anne and her mother came calling
Anne and her mother visited
Wanted to talk about God and life
They wanted to discuss God and life
There is only one road they told me
They emphasized there's only one path
To avoid all this hatred and strife
To avoid hatred and strife
Lying outside in the night
Lying outdoors in the night
Staring at the endless sky
Gazing at the vast sky
Humbled by the sight of shooting stars
Feeling humbled by shooting stars
Wondering bout that universal Why
Contemplating the universal "Why"
What are we
Pondering on the nature of existence
And for how long
Questioning the duration of our being
Do I really want to know
Wondering if it's worthwhile to know
Should I choose, I would just be young
If given a choice, opting for youth
And skip that final low
Avoiding the hardships of life's end
Created by design or by chance
Considering if we are created intentionally or by chance
Are we slaves or meant to be free
Exploring the concept of freedom or servitude
Is it winter or spring that's coming
Uncertain about the season approaching
Do we fall as leaves from a tree
Comparing human existence to falling leaves
What are we
Reflecting on the essence of our being
And for how long
Questioning the duration of our existence
Do we really want to know
Contemplating the desirability of knowing
Should I choose, I would just be young
If given a choice, opting for youth
And skip that final low
Avoiding the difficulties of life's end
Some say this earth is all there is
Some believe this life is all there is
Get one life, ninety years or maybe ten
Life spans vary, contemplating its brevity
Is there another world somewhere somehow
Speculating on the existence of another world
And will we meet our loved ones again
Questioning a potential reunion with loved ones
What are we
Pondering on the nature of existence
And for how long
Questioning the duration of our being
Do you really want to know
Asking if others truly desire to know
Should I choose, we would just be young
If given a choice, advocating for youth
And skip that final low
Avoiding the challenges of life's end
