The Passing of the Evening
Embracing Change: Twilight Reflections and Silent Shouts
Lyrics
It's the passing of the evening
Reflecting on the passing of time, specifically the evening.
All around and out about the avenue
Observing the changes happening around in the surroundings.
And I feel as though I'm losing
Feeling disconnected or detached from people known for a long time.
Touch with all the souls I've known so long
Sensing a loss of connection with familiar souls or individuals.
Am I really going crazy, or hazy
Questioning one's mental state, unsure if experiencing confusion or haziness.
Everything and everywhere is changing
Noticing widespread changes occurring in everything and everywhere.
Newness of philosophies
Encountering new ways of thinking or philosophical perspectives.
Tell me that you're still there for me
Seeking reassurance of someone's presence and support.
Took a walk through the garden
Recalling memories while strolling through a garden.
Caught myself retaining all the memories
Becoming aware of retaining past experiences and recollections.
And you know it's never likely, or like me
Recognizing an unlikelihood in desiring any time except the present.
To wish that it was any time but now
Expressing contentment or acceptance with the current moment.
I was finding feathers from you
Finding symbolic feathers, possibly representing a connection to someone.
Every time I think it's of you
Associating thoughts with a particular individual every time they come up.
As I stand here now
Reflecting on the present moment compared to a past moment.
Where I stood before
Recalling a previous stance or position in life.
Heard the silent shout
Perceiving a familiar but unspoken communication.
And it's so familiar
Recognizing a familiar feeling or situation.
Spoken without words
Noticing a form of communication beyond words.
And here you are
I was thinking and rethinking
Engaging in deep contemplation and repetitive thinking.
Wrote down every word I could remember
Recording and preserving memories through written words.
When I finally saw the morning
Experiencing the arrival of morning after a period of reflection.
The yearning
Feeling a strong desire or longing for something.
Was every bit as strong as you had told me
Confirming the intensity of feelings as previously communicated.
I will spend the sunrise with you
Expressing a willingness to experience sunrise with someone.
I will sit in silence for you
Ready to sit in silence, possibly for contemplation or connection.
As I stand here now
Reflecting again on the present moment while time continues.
And the evening passes
Observing the passing of the evening.
Where I stood before
Recalling a previous stance or position in life.
Heard the silent shout
Perceiving a familiar but unspoken communication.
And it's so familiar
Recognizing a familiar feeling or situation.
Spoken without words
Noticing a form of communication beyond words.
And here you are
