A Power
Embracing Life's Limitations: Finding Purpose Beyond Power
Lyrics
I don't have the power
I lack the ability or authority
But while I'm here, standing on this earth
Despite my limitations, while I exist on Earth
I want to love
I aspire to love
I don't want to be remorseless
Expressing a desire not to be without remorse
I want to be sympathy
Expressing a desire to embody sympathy
I want to see sympathy
Expressing a desire to witness and experience sympathy
I want to die in peaceful quiet knowing nothing but the silence
Expressing a desire for a peaceful death, free from worldly distractions, embracing silence
The silence of the truth
Referring to the silence associated with truth
The silence of an open face
Referring to the silence of an open, honest expression
I don't have the power
Reiteration of lacking power or authority
I want to close my eyes knowing I saw this rock teeming with life
Expressing a desire to close one's eyes after witnessing a vibrant, life-filled world
And float off to the void at the top of the sky
Expressing a desire to transcend into the vastness of the sky after experiencing love and loss
Just knowing that I loved and lost in all directions
Reflecting on the experience of loving and losing in all directions
And that I lived to the highest of the highest
Expressing a desire to live life to the fullest extent
Just promise you'll live like you wanted and if I died then tomorrow
Encouraging others to live authentically, even in the face of potential death
Then you'd wake up and hunger for something to fill you
Suggesting that in the event of the speaker's death, others should seek fulfillment
To take you and hold you, transfix you and change you
Describing the transformative power of yearning and desire
And making you stronger you'd open your moth to the sun
Imagining the strengthening effect of facing challenges, symbolized by opening one's mouth to the sun
And screaming you'd become a crystal of meaning in nothing
Envisioning a transformation into a meaningful existence, perhaps through intense experiences
Dark silence and the void
Reference to a state of dark silence and emptiness
I don't have the power
Reiteration of lacking power or authority
