An Ascent of Essence
Rising Beyond Tragedy: Unveiling Common Bonds in Human Kitten's 'An Ascent of Essence'
Lyrics
There is so much more
Expressing that there is a deeper, profound aspect to life or existence.
Tragedy that unites us
Highlighting how shared suffering or sorrow brings people together.
There is so much more
Reiterating the idea that there is more to life than meets the eye.
That we all have in common
Emphasizing commonality among people that goes beyond superficial differences.
Than we could ever perceive
Suggesting that there are hidden depths to human connection that are not immediately apparent.
What do you want to believe
Prompting reflection on personal beliefs and perspectives.
That everyone is out to get you
Presenting a dichotomy between a paranoid worldview and a more benign interpretation of others' actions.
Or that everyone is just preoccupied
Encouraging consideration that people might be absorbed in their own concerns rather than actively working against you.
Fleeing the grasp of a monster that you can't see
Describing the struggle against an invisible, intangible threat or fear.
What will you believe
Prompting a choice in beliefs about the nature of others and the world.
There are no simple answers
Stating that life's complexities don't always have straightforward solutions.
There is no easy labor
Acknowledging that meaningful achievements require effort and are not easily attained.
But there is no other way
Asserting that despite difficulties, there is no alternative to progress.
'Cause otherwise, nothing fucking gets done
Expressing a sense of urgency and frustration, emphasizing the need for action.
Don't let yourself stagnate
Advising against complacency and urging continuous personal growth.
Just let yourself change
Encouraging adaptation and openness to change.
The world will be waiting
Suggesting that opportunities are available, but punctuality is crucial.
Try not to show up late
Emphasizing the importance of timeliness in seizing opportunities.
You can always get better
Promoting the idea that personal improvement is always possible.
You can always be kinder
Encouraging kindness as a perpetual quality that can be cultivated.
To the people beside you
Advocating empathy and compassion towards those around you.
To the vulnerable child forever living within you
Acknowledging the enduring vulnerability inherent in every individual.
