Neither Moth nor Rust
Eternal Echoes: Unraveling the Depths of Existence in 'Neither Moth nor Rust'
Lyrics
Tired we listen to the storm, you and I
Tired and fatigued, we both listen to the storm.
The howling wind and the beating rain
The intense wind and rain create a tumultuous atmosphere.
What does it mean to live
Reflecting on the essence of living.
What does it take to linger here
Contemplating the requirements to endure in this existence.
Existence for its own sake
Existing merely for the sake of existence itself.
Yet here we remain
Despite the challenges, we persist and remain.
Tired we listen to the storm, you and I
Reiteration of weariness as we jointly confront the storm.
The howling wind and the beating rain
The storm intensifies with the wind's howling and rain's beating.
Yet the thing we dread in the end is the absence
The ultimate fear is the silence that follows, the absence.
The absence of sound that follows
The unsettling quiet after the storm subsides.
How do we depart from here
Contemplating the departure from the current state.
When every withering nerve
Despite the painful challenges, every nerve urges us to continue the struggle.
Demands us to wage this battle
A metaphorical battle while still capable of feeling pain.
While still able to bleed
Emphasizing the persistence to confront difficulties even when vulnerable.
Oh where we used to be
Reflecting on a past place or state of being.
The empty stares of distant stars
Recalling memories represented by distant stars' empty stares.
Witness us
Calling attention to our existence, imploring others to witness our struggles.
Oh the absence of sound
Reiterating the haunting absence of sound that follows.
Which follows
The profound silence that ensues.
Witness us
Seeking acknowledgment and recognition amid the silence.
