Nothing Lasts Forever
Ephemeral Wisdom: Embracing Life's Transience with Hometown Crew
Lyrics
All I've come to know, it comes and goes
All experiences I've gained are transient
Like the winds are changing and things melt away like snow
Changes happen, and things disappear like melting snow
Spring season comes and it will show
Spring reveals the cyclical nature of life
That a smile is still something that I can grow
A smile is a personal growth amidst changes
I see the vacant empty stores of the streets I used to roam, now I sincerely know
Observing abandoned streets, realizing impermanence
Nothing lasts forever
Emphasizing the theme: Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
-Nothing lasts forever
-I know the good and bad will come at changing tides
Acknowledging ups and downs in life
And nothing I've known will ever last
Accepting that everything is temporary
It doesn't matter the things you have
Material possessions don't define lasting value
If you want to be someone of relevance
Relevance comes from selflessness
You start putting yourself last
Prioritizing others over oneself
It's in the giving that's the only thing that's left behind
Legacy is in giving rather than desperation
So learn to give instead of desperation
Advocating giving instead of clinging to life
With which you're holding on to life
Release worry by letting go
I won't hold on to sense of worry
Rejecting unnecessary worry
I know the worth of what I call my life
Understanding the value of one's life
I know I won't feel bad forever
Believing negative feelings are temporary
Nor does happiness linger for as long as I would like
Acknowledging the transient nature of happiness
Change is reoccurring
Highlighting the certainty of change
That's the only certainty in this life
Change is a constant in life
So don't keep beating yourself up over questions why
Advising against dwelling on unanswerable questions
There's only now
Emphasizing the importance of the present moment
What is the meaning?
Pose existential questions about the meaning of life
There's only now
-What is the meaning?
-There's only now
-What is the meaning?
-There's only now
Reiterating the importance of the present moment
