You and Me of the 10,000 Wars
Harmony Amidst 10,000 Battles: Unveiling Life's Pleasures and Struggles
Lyrics
You and me of the 10,000 wars
You and me are participants in countless struggles.
Dividing life into factions of pleasure and chores
We divide our lives between moments of enjoyment and routine tasks.
A bed to be made and a bed to lie in
There's a bed to be made and a bed to rest in, symbolizing daily responsibilities.
A hand in the darker side
Reference to involvement in the darker aspects of life, possibly challenges or hardships.
And our sights set on zion
Aspirations set on achieving a higher state, metaphorically represented by "Zion."
The heart of a skeptic and the mind of a child
Combining skepticism with a childlike imagination.
Put my life in a box and let my imagination run wild
The desire to break free from conventional constraints and let the imagination flourish.
Pour the cement for my feet
Solidifying commitment, possibly to a particular path or lifestyle.
The heart and the mind on a parallel course
Heart and mind moving independently, not converging.
Never the two shall meet
Emphasizing the disconnect between heart and mind.
And oh the dissatisfied with the satisfied
Contrast between those unsatisfied and satisfied with life's circumstances.
Everybody loves a melodrama and the scandal of a lie
People are drawn to melodrama and deception.
Still you held your arms open
Despite challenges, offering acceptance and support.
For the prodigal daughter
Open arms for those who have strayed (prodigal daughter).
I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes
Reflecting on self through the eyes of someone else.
Still waters
A metaphor for calmness or depth beneath the surface.
Try making one and one make one
Attempting to unify disparate elements.
Twist the shapes until everything comes undone
Disrupting established patterns and structures.
Watch the wizard behind the curtain
Examining the reality behind appearances and facades.
The larger than life and the power of seeming certain
The contrast between grandiosity and the power of appearing certain.
The evil ego and the vice of pride
Warning against excessive self-esteem and pride.
Is there ever anything else that makes us take our different sides
The tendency to take different sides due to personal biases.
I wanted everything to feed me
Desire for all-encompassing experiences.
About as full as I got was of myself
Acknowledging a sense of self-centeredness.
And the upper echalons of mediocrity
Reference to the mediocre aspects of life's upper levels.
And oh the dissatisfied with the satisfied
Contrasting the dissatisfied with those content with their lives.
Everybody loves a melodrama and the scandal of a lie
Attraction to drama and deceit despite dissatisfaction.
Still you held your arms open
Despite flaws, providing support and acceptance.
For the prodigal daughter
Welcoming back those who have strayed.
I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes
Seeing one's own reflection in others.
Still waters
Emphasizing calmness or depth beneath the surface.
Still waters
Reiteration of the idea of still waters.
After the battles and we're still around
Reflecting on surviving various life battles.
Everything once up in the air has settled down
Things have settled after turmoil.
Sweep the ashes let the silence find us
Clearing away remnants of conflict to embrace silence.
A moment of peace is worth every war behind us
A moment of peace is valued over past conflicts.
You and me of the 10,000 wars
Reiteration of being participants in numerous struggles.
