Polaroids
Eternal Echoes: Reflecting on Life's Moments with Hansel Mac's 'Polaroids'
Lyrics
When I think of life sometimes, and I don't find reason
Contemplating life without finding purpose or meaning
When I think of all the temporary moments that I'm feeling
Reflecting on fleeting moments and emotions
When I think about how every human's one day leaving
Considering the inevitability of human mortality
It's my memories that anchor me when life's deceiving
Memories serve as an anchor during challenging times
The cause the moment in the seconds never gone
Moments persist despite their brevity
I reckon, weapons are the seconds when the lessons never won
Learning occurs in challenging moments that linger
Cause what if seconds are the blessings, for the legends living on
Considering fleeting moments as blessings for legacy
Cause when it's present, there's still heaven in the spirits dead and gone
Even in the present, memories keep spirits alive
When I hear this song, it makes me feel there's nothing wrong
The song brings a sense of comfort and rightness
With turning back the clocks, I see how everything with time moves on
Acceptance of the passage of time and change
How I hear this song with time will change, like everything I want
Anticipating changes in personal preferences
Somehow these Polaroids feel realer when I know the seconds gone
Old memories feel more real with passing time
When I hear this song, I know that what's internal is eternal
Inner aspects endure eternally
What's external is my world, but I know life universal
Internal versus external aspects of life
When I hear this song, I picture life as but journal
Life seen as a written record with changes and challenges
With changes marking chapters and a reason for the hurdles
Changes mark life's phases and difficulties
And so I got be alone sometimes
Repeated expression of needing solitude at times
I got be alone sometimes
-I got be alone sometimes
-I got be alone sometimes
-Sometimes I've got to be alone
-That's why I got be alone sometimes
-I got be alone sometimes
-I got be alone sometimes
-I got be alone sometimes
-Sometimes I've got to be alone
-Cause when you've got a little reason
Having a reason makes difficulties more manageable
It makes it easier, when we're feeling we're lacking freedom
Feeling restricted but finding solace in faith
So as a teenager, I found what I needed in Jesus
Discovering needed support in religious beliefs
It's funny, you don't know if you're bleeding or not when sleeping
Uncertainty in perceiving personal pain or wounds
When I look in my wife's eyes, I see a reason
Seeing reasons and inspiration in loved ones
When I look in my dad's eyes, I see a reason
-When I look to my twin sister, I see a shining beacon
-It's ironic how lives leading my closer to my Eden
-Death is mentality
Contemplation on life, death, and the present moment
The are many spectrums to reality
-Every single atom carries gravity
-This moment here, it carries immortality
-To comprehend it you could reach insanity
Reflecting on the complexity of life's lessons and regrets
Some seconds carries regret
-In my head repeating
-We're all to question life in secret
-But we can't reset
-But that's still how we learn to prevent
-So we never regress
-I say we need it
Expressing the necessity of connection and emotions
We need this to connect
-To what we're feeling
-I wasn't born alone and I know I'll never die alone
Reflecting on life's decisions and their outcomes
When I play this song sometimes, I think about my life alone
-How each and every minuscule decision
-Was a blessing in disguise, for the life I find I'm living
-I know if I was religious, I'd thank for God my existence
Contemplating existence and missing loved ones
I don't like, every card I'm dealt there's people I'm still missing
-But that's why this song is those times I feel like reminiscing
-And so I got be alone sometimes
Reiteration of the need for occasional solitude
I got be alone sometimes
-I got be alone sometimes
-I got be alone sometimes
-Sometimes I've got to be alone
-That's why I got be alone sometimes
-I got be alone sometimes
-I got be alone sometimes
-I got be alone sometimes
-Sometimes I've got to be alone
-All my thoughts are existential every single day
Philosophical musings on existence, perception, and uncertainty
Everyone's distracted, somehow I can't run away
-When my life flashes before my eyes, before I'm in a grave
-I want to know that every moment I had way my way
-The world I see is heaven, such a blessing of place
-With everything connected, only constant in it change
-We only see it for a minute, then it turns a different page
-I don't know if thinking about it helps me out or leads to pain
